how much do labradoodles cost

how much money do these dogs cost

[Lynn D.]

I assume that you are asking how much to they cost up front, for the dog.
They very in price from dog to dog. Some you can get for free, you could rescue and there are Labradoodles that cost over $3,000. Buyer beware! You have to ask yourself what kind of health issues are you getting into with a $100 puppy from the paper. Of course there is no 100% guarantee with any dog.

Welcome to Doodle Kisses! Do plenty of searching and reading, and when you have questions the people here are very happy to help.

Adoption is never totally free....Almost free maybe...lol....I paid a $250 adoption fee and had absolutely no problem paying it.....It covered neutering and vetting and went right back into the Humane Society...I believe IDOG asks for $150...Many other rescues bang up their standard adoption costs for Doodles.....( One place in PA wants $500 )

I am an advocate for rescue....I encourage you to do so but it's important to keep in mind that if you are on a budget sometimes rescuing a dog becomes more costly than purchasing a puppy from a reputable breeder. By the time that I was done taking care of all of Blake's issues I had spent close to $3000 at the vet in the first two months that I had him...I don't regret it for a single moment as he is an AMAZING dog and I adore him but I think you should be prepared to expect that unless it's a rehome situation, chances are that there will be some kind of health issue that will need to addressed and treating them can be costly.....Of course, the love you get back from these special little creatures is priceless....

There many many honest "home breeders" of doodles. Be sure you find one of those and check their references. I have done a lot of research only on Australian Labradoodles, because I adopted (bought) two in the last year. ALDS (acronym for Australian Labradoodle) range in price from $1800 to $3000 for a multigen puppy with a at least a two year health guarantee and puppy shots and home raised. Home raising provides that critical care in the first 8 weeks of life and can make a big difference in temperment, ease of training, health, etc. I bought my two doodles from Canyon Court Labradoodles and could not be happier. Since I have met many other pleased doodle owners that have purchased their doodles from equally good home breeders. ALD breeders should have at least a silver paw certification from the American Labradoodle Association of America. Google "owner recommended labradoodles" and it will lead you to a wealth of information about ALDs and Goldendoodles and Labradoodles.

The ALAA is not the only acredited Labradoodle club. There is the ALCA, and the Premium Breeders List. Each requires that their member breeders do health testing, and follow ethical breeding practisces.

From a quality, reputable breeder who does proper health testing of parent dogs, gives health guarantee, etc:

F1 labradoodles (1/2 lab & 1/2 poodle): about $1200

F1b labradoodle (1/4 lab & 3/4 poodle): about $1500-$1800

Higher generations and australian labradoodles: about $2000+

And often smaller sizes (mediums and minis) are more pricey in each category.

Price does NOT prove that the breeder is good--you still have 2 research and ask questions.

A really low price would give me red flags...however sometimes breeders will lower the price to help sell older pups. Although many feel that older pups are worth just as much because they have been raised thru the tough time of young puppyhood, maybe housetrained.

This is very accurate...

[Marci Southard]

Doodles definitely vary in price.........I only know what the breeders from the Premium Breeders list charge.......where all dogs in their breeding programs are health tested for all health issues that can be tested for in their breed.......Fls;s are usually around $1500.00, Flbs $1800.00 and multigens, Australian OR American are usually around $2500,00..........most have at least a two year health guarantee....
