Our Process & FAQs

Apply for A Puppy

1. Get in Touch with Us

We’re here to assist you in finding the perfect cavoodle, labradoodle, or groodle for your individual, family, or organisational needs. We’ll provide all the necessary information to help you make this important decision of welcoming a new family member into your life. Please reach out to us for a consultation and discussion.

2. Fill Out a Puppy Application

Once you have decided to commit to purchasing a puppy and have been guided through the process by our team, it’s time to fill out our convenient online puppy application form. This form helps us gather essential details about you, your lifestyle and your puppy preferences. Please ensure you have all your questions and concerns addressed before completing the form.

3. The Puppy Waitlist

After we have reviewed your application form, we will send you an email confirming your placement on our waitlist. Being on the waitlist signifies your readiness and commitment to welcoming a puppy into your home, as availability is limited. To secure your puppy, we require a deposit which can be made to our designated bank account. This ensures that we communicate with individuals and families genuinely interested in adding a puppy to their home. You will also be informed of your waitlist number in this stage. This will be done via email confirmation, confirming your preference of timing or placement on our waitlist.

Please note that a puppy is only secured upon receipt of the deposit payment, and we will keep you updated on any litters born and your current position on the waitlist.

Choosing the Right Puppy for You

4. Costs Involved

The deposit you make contributes towards the total purchase price (unless stated otherwise) for your cavoodle, labradoodle, or groodle. The remaining balance is due either during pickup or three business days before the flight if your puppy is being transported interstate. Deposits are non-refundable but can be transferred to a future litter. Our puppies come from exceptional bloodlines and are provided with the highest level of care. From their living environment to their nutrition, we ensure your puppy is healthy, happy, well-socialised and has received a veterinary check-up.

5. Allocation of Your New Puppy

When our precious puppies reach six weeks old, we begin allocating them to their carefully matched new homes. This is a thorough and considerate process undertaken in collaboration with you. We consider various factors such as coat type for allergy sufferers, temperament, activity level and your preferences as a buyer. We gain valuable insights into their unique personalities and tendencies through our extensive knowledge of each puppy from birth, including regular handling and observation. With all this information and your puppy application, we strive to make the best possible match for you and your family.

Open & Consistent Communication

6. Puppy Updates

At Doodle Dogs, we understand that welcoming a new family member is an exciting commitment. To ensure you feel involved in their journey from conception to handover, we regularly update our confirmed waitlist families every two weeks. We adore our puppies and happily welcome them into our home, capturing precious moments to share. The puppies are ready to go to their new families at eight weeks old, having received a veterinary health check-up, been microchipped and kept up to date with vaccinations and worming. Upon collection or via post for interstate buyers, you will be asked to sign a contract of sale with a strict de-sexing clause, and all relevant paperwork will be provided.

At Doodle Dogs, we consider you a part of our family, even after you have brought your puppy home. We genuinely appreciate receiving updates, photos and feedback about how your new family member is adjusting and thriving in your home. We understand that transitioning a puppy into a new environment can sometimes be challenging, so please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
