UTAH LABRADOODLES

Thank you so much for your interest in Utah Labradoodles, Australian Labradoodles.  I wanted to tell you a little about our program and our adoption process.  We are a small breeder and plan to stay that way.  We will never kennel our dogs.  Our breeder dogs live in our homes or in a guardian home where they are a part of the family, fed high quality food, and are loved and properly trained.  We are Good Dog (Avidog) breeders and are continually furthering our education as breeders.  We follow the Good Dog (Avidog) extensive program for our dams, studs and puppies.  Our puppies live in our house, with our family.  Along with Early Neurological stimulation my 7 kids makes sure these puppies are very well socialized and will be the happiest healthy puppies when they come to your home.  The puppies will have a good start on potty training, and simple commands such as “sit”.  They will also start crate training.  The puppies will have been on car rides and exposed to many different people and animals, all in a safe environment.  We are a part of the ALCA, ALAA, WALA organizations.  We  follow the clubs strict guidelines for our dogs to be registered with the clubs and to ensure the best health for our dogs.  Please visit Utahlabradoodles.com for more information.  All of our breeder dogs undergo extensive health testing and must pass to be bred.  The testing includes:

 

• Hip and Elbow Testing (either; OFA prelim, OFA, PennHIP);

• Orthopedic Foundation of America Patellar;

• Orthopedic Foundation of America Congenital Cardiac;  

• Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration (prcd/PRA);

• Degenerative Myelopathy;

• Exercise-Induced Collapse;

• Von Willebrand Disease;

• Improper Coat/Furnishings.

• Or cleared by parentage

 

Please be aware that all dogs loose hair.  These dogs are as “non shedding” and hypo allergenic as much as a “non shedding” dog can be but they will still lose hair occasionally as mammals do. Some dogs have time where they lose their “puppy hair” around a year of age.  You may or may not notice this.  Also, some people are allergic to the saliva of dogs, while these dogs are not “slobbery dogs” and even very low drooling dogs, please be aware of this with your allergies.

Australian Labradoodles have been known to have their coats change colors from puppies to adults.  Some have minor changes like fading, some seem to change more.  Be aware of this as Utah Labradoodles has no control over this or any idea if it will happen.  Many people love the changes in their dogs.
