FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is an Australian Labradoodle?
An Australian Labradoodle is a multi-generational breed developed in Australia for therapy work and companionship. Despite the name, they have no relation to the Australian Shepherd. Decades ago, a few other breeds, including spaniels, were introduced to enhance their size, coat quality, temperament, and overall health. Since then, they’ve been bred within their own lines, establishing them as a distinct premier breed. For more information, click here.
​
What is the temperament of an Australian Labradoodle like?
Australian Labradoodles were originally bred for therapy and service work, making them naturally friendly, affectionate, and intelligent. They thrive in family settings, get along well with children and other pets, and are eager to please—making them highly trainable and a joy to have as companions.
Are Australian Labradoodles Hypoallergenic?
While no dog is completely hypoallergenic, our dogs are carefully bred to be highly allergy and asthma friendly. Many of our puppy families - even those with mild to severe allergies - have found they do exceptionally well with our puppies.
How much are your puppies?
​Each puppy is $3500 on a spay/neuter contract. We ask for a $500 non-refundable deposit to be placed on the reservation list for an upcoming litter. The remaining total is due when you have been matched with your puppy at 7 weeks old.
Can I transfer my deposit?
Deposits may be transferred once to a future litter if requested within 7 days of the birth of the originally reserved litter. Any additional transfers will incur a $50 transfer fee per request.
Why do your puppies cost $3500?
Raising great puppies takes a lot of careful work! From selective breeding to early training, socialization, and top-notch healthcare, we put a ton of love and effort into each puppy. It’s taken generations to get to the exceptional temperaments, coat quality, and health that our puppies have today.

How are the puppies raised?
From day one, our puppies are raised with science-backed enrichment and training. We use the Puppy Culture and BAB programs to introduce them to new experiences, people (especially children!), and early training. By 8 weeks, they’ve had exposure to crate training, potty training, grooming, and more.

​
What sizes do you offer?
Most of our puppies mature between 20-35 lbs, though some litters may have miniature (15-20 lbs) or medium (35-45 lbs) sizes, depending on the parents. Check out our Upcoming Litters page to see what sizes we're expecting!
​
How does your puppy matching process work?
We match puppies based on a combination of your physical preferences + their temperament to ensure the best fit for your family and lifestyle.
-
At four weeks old, you will submit your top 3 preferred puppies.
-
At seven weeks old, we complete temperament evaluations. Using these results along with your preferences, we carefully sort the litter like one big puzzle to ensure every puppy is thoughtfully matched—so there is no “last pick.”
-
Matching appointments will take place the following day in deposit order, either in person or via video call. We will share our recommendation and provide 1-2 choices for you to select from.
-
If we feel there isn’t a great match, your reservation fee can be transferred to the next available litter - though this rarely happens!
​
When are the pups ready to go home?
Your puppy will be ready to go home on their 8 week birthday. Once the litter is born, we’ll provide an exact go-home date so you have plenty of time to prepare and make arrangements.
Can I visit the puppies before they are ready to go home?
For the safety and well-being of the puppies, we limit visits until they are older. At 7 weeks old, during your matching appointment, we’ll introduce you to your puppy in person or via video call, giving you the chance to bond and play. While we know it’s hard to wait, we’ll keep you updated with weekly "pupdate" emails and plenty of content on our Instagram page @camdenlanelabradoodles.
​
Do you offer extended training?
Yes! We offer extended training for families looking for an easier transition into home life or needing a few extra weeks before bringing their puppy home. For 1-2 weeks, we continue building on their training in-house. For longer stays, we partner with a certified trainer who can further tailor the training to your specific needs. Extended training is available at $350 per week. If you're interested, please let us know in your application.​
​
How can I get my puppy if I live in another state?
You’re welcome to meet us at our home, which is located 25 minutes south of SLC Airport, or we can arrange to meet you at the airport. If you prefer, we also work with trusted flight nannies—experienced professionals who handle all the travel arrangements to ensure your puppy’s safe and comfortable journey. If interested, we’ll gladly connect you with them to get a quote.
Do you offer a health guarantee for your puppies?
Yes! We offer a two-year genetic health guarantee for our puppies, covering any genetic health issues. The guarantee is valid as long as the new owner takes their puppy to a veterinarian for a check-up within 72 hours to confirm no pre-existing medical conditions, and continues to keep up with necessary vaccinations throughout the two-year period. You can view a copy of our contract and learn more about the health guarantee here.
