Adoption Information and Application
Each puppy, worth every penny, is $3,000 total, regardless of color or gender. This includes a happy, healthy puppy with age appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchip, veterinarian check prior to pick up, health certificate, WALA pedigrees of parents, a goodie bag, including a snuggle puppy, (with litter mates scent) a sample of food the puppy has been eating, new puppy instructions, and two year genetic health guarantee. The genetic health guarantee is only valid if new owner sees a veterinarian for a check up within 72 hours to confirm no current medical conditions exist, and owner keeps up on all necessary vaccinations during the two year period.Â
Â
We lay a great foundation for training our puppies. But first, we connect with each one, to create a bond of trust and respect. We continue the work on helpful tools such as Manding (sit to say please) politeness,  Recall (puppy, puppy come) safety, also a foundation for potty training, as well as early crate training. Our goal is to have all of our puppies sleeping through the night in their crates before they come home to you! We provide daily handling, stimulation, early socialization to new people, new things, new experiences, other dogs (when appropriate) and so much more, to prepare them for a well balanced and happy life.Â
A non-refundable $500.00 reservation fee is required to hold a puppy, with the balance of $2,500 due when the puppy is matched with their family at seven weeks of age.Â

Step 3
​Once we have received your application and the $500 reservation fee, you will be put on our master list in the order that both have been received. Once a mother is confirmed pregnant we reach out to those at the top of the list. You have the right to pass if the particular litter or timing is not right for you, and you will keep your spot on our list. If you confirm that you would like to move forward, we will keep you posted weekly every step of the way from birth until they join your family. These weekly email newsletters will include what the puppies are doing developmentally, what we are doing to prepare the puppies for you, and what you can do to prepare for you puppy to come home! We will also include weekly pictures of the puppies.​ Please note, while we do our best to deliver what you are hoping for, there is no way for us to guarantee the ratio of males or females in a given litter. While we have a general idea of the colors two parents will produce, we also cannot guarantee color. Our priorities in breeding are temperament and health. Those are things we can control. We test the parents' health in depth, and raise these puppies to be content, trainable, and adaptable.
Step 4
Just prior to seven weeks old puppies will be microchipped, and have their first vet visit which includes their first set of vaccines, a fecal check and a general health check. At seven weeks we will administer a temperament test on each puppy. We will then schedule a puppy matching appointment with you in person or via technology. Matching order follows the order of our master list AND our recommendation according to the needs and desires of our potential families. It is rare, but we reserve the right to hold back any puppy for future breeding in our Program.
​
We do our best to get to know your family, situation, and personal needs so that we can match the right puppy with the right family for a mutually beneficial arrangement. We are very open to dialogue, to seek best possible fit. We would ask that you enter into this, seeing each puppy as cute as the next, aiming to not get your heart set on one over another, until Temperaments have been assessed. If color and gender are more important to you than health and temperament, we may not be the right breeder for you. Having said that we will of course do our best to honor your wishes where color and gender are concerned. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this.
Step 5
After you have been matched with your puppy at seven weeks old, the final payment of $2,500 is due. If you're having the puppy shipped to you, there is an additional shipping fee. You may pay with Venmo or Zelle, cashier's check, cash. We can discuss those details individually as air travel fees fluctuate etc.
Step 6
Puppies will be ready for their fur-ever families between 8 and 9 weeks old. We will give a window for you to pickup, where you will sign a spay/neuter contract, receive a Crikeydoodles goodie bag, and take home your new puppy! After that window, buyer will be charged $35/day for additional boarding. ​
​
We prefer to hand deliver our puppies right to you. Which means, if you require shipping: we will acclimate puppy to soft sided airline crate and you can fly into the Atlanta airport and we will deliver your puppy to you and take your puppy home in the cabin with you. Or, in special cases we can fly with your puppy to a US airport near you for a minimum of a $500.00 shipping fee and airfare. Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like us to help you arrange shipping. ​
Step 7
We also offer extended training for $350/week. We will continue to set the foundation of potty training, leash walking, and basic commands such as: sit, down, wait/stay, crate, place and manding. Please know the longer a puppy stays in extended training the more established these behaviors become. Payment for training can be made through any of our payment methods when you make your final payment.
Step 8
We have much invested in your pup and would love to see them as they continue to grow. Know that we are here for you every step of the way. Please send us pictures or tag @crikeydoodles.com if you post on social media. Our Goal is to be a support to you, and you new fur family member, and it would mean a lot to us, if you are happy with your experience at Crikey Australian Labradoodles that you would share a recommendation on Google.
