Thank you for your interest in our puppies!  We hope some of your questions will be answered by reading below.  Please note that once an application is received and accepted, you will be contacted and kept abreast of pregnancies, deliveries and puppy status.

COLOR: 
We DNA color test our breeding dogs in order to predict the color of the puppies.  For the most part, our girls produce primarily creams, apricots and reds, with some blacks and chocolates.  You can expect many of the chocolates to lighten to cafe' au lait and dark reds to lighten to a rich apricot. We will also be producing chocolate and white partis in 2008. 

PUPS ARE HERE, WHAT NOW?

SHIPPING:
Please note that our pups are shipped/placed AFTER twelve weeks old and most do not fit under the seat.   If they must go cargo due to their size, it is my preference to only sell a pup to people who will come to Maine to fly with them. Too many horror stories about lost pups has convinced me to not take any chances.  Plus, it is an opportunity to 'meet and greet' and for you to see the environment your baby has lived under.

If a pup is going on a plane, all buyers must make the arrangements. Please contact your preferred airline and make sure you purchase an 'airline approved crate/Sherpa Bag' for cargo/under seat shipment.  If you wish me to meet you at the Manchester Airport in Concord, N.H. or the Portland Jetport in Portland, Maine with your puppy, there will be an additional $75.00 charge for Manchester and $50.00 for Portland to be paid prior to shipping. 

• Our Puppy Application Form allows us to get to know you (and your family). It is designed with a lot of questions and an area for you to write to us about your family, your type of  lifestyle and how you hope your life will be enriched owning a Labradoodle. It also helps us determine if you are ready to spend the time, energy, training and costs associated with raising a puppy to become a well adjusted member of your family.

• We strongly suggest you read our Contract and Health Warranty carefully as it outlines what is covered and the procedures necessary for recovery, if ever necessary. Anyone purchasing a puppy from us will need to sign this form which contains all agreements between each party. This form has been designed to protect seller, buyer and puppy.

*Please note that we DO NOT want a deposit with your application! Many times there is a waiting list and we don't want to tie up your money if we cannot fill your request. When it has been determined that you are indeed getting a pup, I will ask for a $500 deposit payable in cash or a POSTAL MONEY ORDER made out to ANNABELLE DOODLES. We do not accept credit cards or Paypal.  Personal checks are accepted if they are timely, but not preferred.  The balance of the pup is due when the pups are 10 weeks old.  I need a minimum of 10 days for your check to clear prior to you picking up the puppy.

We make every effort to ensure our puppies are the healthiest possible. There are no absolute guarantees, but by health testing our breeding dog extensively and requiring our studs to be free of inherent defects, we do our best to avoid any potential hereditary problems being passed onto the puppies. It must be noted however, that if you allow your dog to become overweight, our guarantee of health will be voided. Overweight dogs are the foremost reason for hip and arthritic problems!
