Please be open to either a male or female Doodle. Due to the special care used when selecting breeding pairs, males and females exude virtually the same temperaments. As part of our contract puppies must be spayed/neutered by 6 months of age and as a result often do not develop many gender specific traits. Puppies that undergo ES&N at Sutter Buttes are also at less risk of developing gender specific traits. Being open to either sex may shorten the length of your wait for a Doodle pup.
We do ship throughout the U.S.A. and Canada. Shipping fees are determined at the time of purchase. Shipping may be hindered due to severe weather conditions. ALL SHIPPING EXPENSES AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHIPPING OF THE PUP ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO TAKE RECEIPT OF YOUR PUP UNTIL AFTER THE PREARRANGED DELIVERY DATE, WE
WILL BOARD YOUR PUPPY FOR A COST $25/DAY TO COVER EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXTENDED STAY.
It is important to note that all of our breeding stock undergo hip testing (PennHIP or OFA) and eye testing (CERF). This is to ensure us as well as the buyer (to the best of our ability) that our Doodle pups are free of potential hereditary defects. While these tests do not give us an absolute guarantee that our pups will not have any hereditary problems, they are still the best way to determine that our breeding stock is clear of specific defects. With this testing in place, we can be sure we are passing the best possible genetic combinations along to your puppy.
We want your puppy to be in superb condition upon
coming to live with you. Your puppy will be vet checked
before his/her departure from us. We require that you
take your puppy to your veterinarian for a well-puppy
visit within 72 hours of receiving him/her. Our pups come
with a general 7-day health guarantee and a 24-month
genetic health guarantee. All veterinary expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.
We ask that (as much as you may want to) you do not
take your puppy out and about in public until he/she has completed the series of puppy shots (usually 14 to 16
weeks of age). Young pups are at risk to the parvovirus as
well as many other contagious illnesses. The parvovirus
can stay dormant in the ground for up to 7 years! All it
takes is a curious little puppy to dig around in
contaminated dirt, dog feces and/or dog vomit to
contract the potentially and commonly fatal virus. We
recommend that you carry your puppy into the
veterinarian’s office and hold him/her for the duration of
your visits. The veterinarian offices are a common place
for the parvovirus to enter due to the high volume of
animals walking around inside. Once your puppy has had
its full series of shots it is perfectly safe to take that
puppy out and show him/her off!!
We will make the greatest attempt in matching you to
the pup that best suits your needs. Be very specific when
filling out the Online Adoption Application. It is an aid to us in determining which
puppy will be the best addition to your family.
Extensive and accurate records are kept on all of our
dogs. Any information regarding our dogs that will help
you with a decision in purchasing a pup is openly
available per your request.
If at any time you feel as though you can no longer care
for your Doodle, we ask that you contact Sutter Buttes
Labradoodles & Goldendoodles so that we can aid you in
placing him/her in a home we feel comfortable with. We
never want any of our Doodles to end up in an animal
shelter. We ask that you make this commitment to us.
We are always interested in feedback regarding pups that
leave us. Feel free to email updates and pictures to us.
We take pride in our pups and love to see them as they
grow into BIGGER Doodles!
