The Breeder-Owner Partnership

Our responsibility to you:

• Your puppy will be in good health when you receive him or her. To ensure your satisfaction of this, you will be required to have your puppy examined by your veterinarian within 72 hours of receiving him/her. You will receive copies of all pertinent health records for your puppy, including vaccination record, hip and eye clearance of each parent.
• We will be available to answer questions and provide consultation during the life of your labradoodle.
• We will make every attempt make the best match of puppy temperament to your needs. To that end, we will ask you to fill out a detailed puppy application/questionnaire.
• If for any reason you are no longer able to care for your Sierra Vista Labradoodle we ask that you to return the dog to us so that we may find him/her a new home.

Your responsibility to us:

• We expect that you will have a realistic understanding of the responsibilities of dog ownership (puppy behavior: chewed leather shoes, barking, housebreaking etc). Owning a dog is a big commitment. The lifespan of a labradoodle can range from 12-15years. There are many costs associated with dog ownership including; food, health care, toys, license, grooming etc.
• We require that you bring puppy to your vet within 72 hrs to confirm to your satisfaction that your puppy is in good health. Click here for our health guarantee.
• As difficult as it may be, we will ask you to resist the temptation to show off your puppy in public (pet store, park, any place frequented by many other dogs) until he/she has completed the full round of puppy shots. Puppies are particularly vulnerable to contracting parvovirus and other contagious illnesses during this time.
• Labradoodles are well known for their great personalities and intelligence. However, every dog must be trained to live within the rules of your house and family. Training requires a good deal of time and patience. We strongly recommend the use of a crate for house training and attendance at a puppy obedience class, especially if you have not previously trained a dog.
• We ask for a commitment from you to return the dog to us if for any reason you are unable to care for your labradoodle. We want to ensure that none of our dogs ever end up in a shelter.
