Waiting List Process :

• usually via an initial enquiry email telling me all about yourself, lifestyle, family, home and work situation. 

• I will reply within 48hours and request a zoom chat with you lasting about 30-45mins. 

• Following the Zoom meeting I will email you to recap our conversation along with my payment information to proceed.

 

1. To reserve a place on my waiting list for a Pet Puppy, a non-refundable £300 deposit is required.

2. Once your puppy litter is born and you can commit to a puppy, then a further amount is requested.

3. The final amount is due just prior to collection.

4. Puppies are chosen at around 5 weeks old in deposit order, there is no early reservation on sex or colour.  It is far far more important to have the right temperament puppy, from the most suitable parents. 

​

Payment Process :

​

Northbound Australian Labradoodles sell our pups for a pet price with no breeding terms permitted.  A pet puppy contract will be issued once puppy is chosen, this includes a 12 month spay/neuter agreement.

​

The price of your Northbound puppy is across four parts:

• I request a £300 non-refundable deposit to join my waiting list, this is to ensure committed homes only apply.

• A further deposit of £600 is required to secure a puppy only once the litter is safely born and I know there are enough puppies for each waiting home.

• The third payment must be received before the puppy is collected for their new home. 

• The fourth balance payment is due only if contract terms are not followed and the pet dog remain intact, un-neutered or un-spayed past 12months old.  Vets routinely neuter between 6-12months old as standard.

• Completing the permanent spay/neuter operation and providing the vet invoice as confirmation prior to 12months old as contracted will void the final fourth balance payment. 

• The microchip held in the Northbound ALD Ltd name will be transferred to the new owner once spay/neuter complete.

(Price is subject to review and change) 

 

Master List Explained :

​ 

The master list system was set up after a couple of my girls did not fall pregnant. This meant that homes that could not take a puppy, were then unable to move onto the next girls litter as this was already fully reserved, and this to me seemed very unfair.

 

Over the years I have noticed that homes are most specific over size and timing than any other areas, and so the list was devised with homes being allocated on individual preference. 

During our face to face Teams call we will discuss your home, lifestyle, experience, timings and size preference.

We will look to place you on approximately three litters that meet your needs.  This could be the first three litters after September when your retirement is due, it could be three mating's that meet your size preference, or it could be three mating's that will not produce the colour of your last dog.

 

Everyone is different and I work to make sure you receive the best match possible.

 

The Master Lists are hugely successful because the benefits to the waiting families are;

• families can be flexible on their puppy timing in case of illness, house move etc...

• families can move up the list and 'overtake' other families who may be constrained by timing, holidays already booked or size.

• families are not stuck with a particular girls mating and subject to the girl falling pregnant and having a large enough litter.

• families can and do decide to defer to a later litter, which then allows other homes who may only have been on the reservation list for a short period to take a puppy.

​

Temperament is still the priority and recommendations for litter suitability will be discussed with each home.

​

​

Puppies are terribly hard work.

They require immense dedication, time and the commitment to attend regular training sessions to achieve the dog you dream of.  ​
