Get ready to meet your match!
Before filling out your puppy application, please take a moment to look over the following helpful information.
Pricing
Companion puppies are priced at $3200 (regardless of gender or coloring) and are sold on a strict spay/neuter contract. Once we’ve accepted your application, you may reserve a spot on our puppy list by making a $500 deposit. After Personality Assessment at 7 weeks, we will contact families and begin the matchmaking process. If we don’t have a good personality fit that you are happy with, we are happy to transfer the deposit to a future litter or offer a refund.
The total puppy price must be paid in full within 24 hours of puppy matching.
Puppies who are sold after the 7-week mark must be paid in full upon completion of our Purchase Agreement.
What’s included with your puppy
The purchase price of $3200 includes:
- Your new Novalie Australian Labradoodle puppy
- A head start on training starting at five weeks of age. Novalie puppies will be introduced to basic expectations, expand their socialization skills, and learn to trust themselves and the world around them.
- Collar
- Current, age-appropriate vaccinations and vetting, including microchip
- Toy with littermate scent, to ease their transition
- A starter supply of puppy food that they are accustomed to eating
How do I make a Reservation?
We begin accepting reservations (deposits) for a planned litter once our dogs have completed their health and genetic testing. If we are thrilled with their results, we will then formally match our girls with their fella. Until then, approved applicants will be placed on our waitlist. As of now, we are accepting FIVE reservation spots per litter. Once the litter is born and if we have availability, we will go down our waitlist in order of accepted applicants and offer the option of reserving a puppy. Please note that Novalie Australian Labradoodles reserves the right to hold back potential breeding stock in order to further our program and improve the breed.
Plan, as we may, Mother Nature, can sometimes get in the way. In the unfortunate event that our litter size is less than we anticipate, those who have reserved a puppy will be able to move their reservation to a future litter.
Health Guarantee
We take pride in our extensive health and genetic testing, as well as our nutrient-dense, whole-food diet that helps build strong bodies. We believe that an ideal dog diet is minimally processed, high in moisture, and low to moderate in carbohydrates. Fresh is best when possible! Our dogs and puppies get fresh food as part of their diet every single day. Healthy puppies begin before pregnancy and we stand by our dogs. Included with your puppy is a 2-year, genetic health guarantee.
Personality Matchmaking
We breed for excellent temperament and expect all Novalie Australian Labradoodle puppies to be amazing! When our puppies are seven weeks old, we run our puppies through a personality assessment. This helps us gain additional insight into an individual puppy’s personality and tendencies so that we can work together to find the best fit for your family. Please fill out our application with as much detail as you can so that we can get to know YOU!
Puppy Pre-K
During puppy preschool, Novalie labradoodle puppies learn to trust people, themselves, and the world around them.
Our day includes:
Structured play time with items such as tunnels and ball pits
Audio, to gently expose the puppies to various sounds
Enrichment exercises
A daily ten-step handling exercise
Grooming
Supervised house exploration and one-on-one time
Marker training
As the puppies grow, we introduce the idea of formal training. Our three primary goals are:
Introduce expectations and enhance mental stimulation
Build confidence
Deepen connection
For more information about the first 9 weeks, please see How We Raise Our Puppies.
Puppy Pick Up
We would love to meet you! Picking up your puppy in person gives us time together to introduce you to your puppy and go over your puppy packet. Ideally, you will come and pick your puppy up when it is time for him/her to come home. In some situations, and for an additional fee, we may be able to arrange a puppy escort who is able to safely deliver your puppy to you.
If you are ready to apply, please fill out a puppy application. Keep in mind that our goal with extensive questions is to get to know you as well as we can so that we can best match a puppy with your family.
