Puppy Price: $2,500 (including deposit)

Deposit: $500

Endeavor’s breeding program focuses on producing healthy and well mannered puppies that will make wonderful additions to their families. Our puppies are raised in our home with love and care, ensuring they are well-socialized and ready for their new homes. Our puppies are priced at $2,500 sold on a spay/neuter agreement, and come with a health guarantee against all testable conditions. A $500 reservation fee is required to reserve a spot, with the balance becoming non-refundable after puppies are 6 weeks old and matches are set. Once knowing your puppy match you will have 24 hours before the deposit becomes non-refundable. In the event that you are unable to commit to a puppy after this period, your deposit can transfer over to another litter.

How is our puppy price determined? The health of our puppies is of utmost importance to us. Our girls all have their OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) exams to ensure that their hips and elbows are strong and put together well. This is done to assess the quality of their joints and to examine the likelihood of our dogs developing hip or elbow dysplasia. If you’ve ever seen a dog with dysplasia, you’ll know its an extremely hard thing to watch a dog go through. We do our best to ensure that we have genetically sound dogs who are on a path to being healthy throughout their whole life, especially into old age. We also genetically test our dogs through PawPrint Genetics with the essential and supplemental Australian Labradoodle panels. Why test so much?  Vets are very expensive and so we breed dogs who should be healthy the length of their life, if you provide correct nutrition, exercise and attention.  A healthy dog can result in thousands of dollars saved over the course of your pet’s life. That is a goal we all should be striving for, quality of life.

Puppy final selection takes place at 6.5-7.5 weeks old. We do not make selections purely based off of color. Puppies are also not chosen on a first come first serve basis. We believe that not every puppy will fit in with every home, so to set our puppies and homes up for success we guide each owner to their best one or two puppy matches. A mellow, quiet puppy would not thrive in an active hiking family for example, so we spend hours every day getting to know each puppy to make sure their temperament and personality matches their homes. This will ensure that each home is getting the best puppy for their individual needs. Color and gender are taken into account but are not our main factor that goes into placement. Local homes are welcome and encouraged to come for puppy visits when the puppies turn 6 weeks old to help with our selections and are given the opportunity to tell us their first, second and third favorite puppy to help us in our matches.

Puppies are ready to go home at exactly 8 weeks old and no earlier. Your pup is welcome to stay up to 9 weeks old with us if you are unable to pick them up right away. We also offer a training program for an extra fee for puppies who need to stay longer than this or for owners who want their puppy to have more general training.

We will not ship our puppies to you as we advise to never fly dogs in cargo due to safety reasons and because we never want puppies to be left unattended by either us or their new families in the process. Out of state buyers are welcome to fly and meet us in our home in Boerne, TX or we can meet you at the San Antonio airport with your puppy and paperwork. For an extra fee, we can fly your puppy to your nearest airport as well. Puppies must be able to fit comfortably in a soft sided carrier to fly. Generally these carriers are 19”x11”x9”, but this depends on your airline. At 8 weeks old, this is plenty of space for a puppy to fly.

Puppies will need to be spayed/neutered between 6-12 months of age. We sell dogs with breeding rights only to very few individuals who meet specific requirements. Generally, breeding rights are sold for $10,000-$12,000. If an accidental pregnancy occurs or the puppy is not spayed or neutered by 12 months, then the puppy will be considered a breeding dog and the remaining fee of $7,500 will be due. In the case of an accidental pregnancy, your dog will need to be spayed immediately to prevent puppies from being born. We allow owners to keep their puppies intact up to 12 months because we believe it is the best thing for their physical growth and maturity into adulthood, but if you cannot keep a dog intact responsibly we recommend you neuter your puppy at 6 months or consider a canine vasectomy or ovary sparing spay (more info here). We take great pride in producing healthy dogs who will never end up in a shelter, and the last thing we need is more mixed breed dogs being produced by accident.  Any breeches of breeding contracts resulting in penalties to Endeavor ALDs will be transferred to the unspayed puppy's owner. Those fines can be as much as $15-20 thousand dollars. Needless to say, we take spay and neuter seriously!  

We have a no shelter policy and puppies come with a contract in which the new owners agree to return the dog to us if there arises a need to rehome.  We will either take the dog back or help that individual find a new home depending on location.

Puppies come with:
- Microchip
- Leash and collar - Sample pack shampoo with a comb and ALAA grooming card
- Endeavor Australian Labradoodle blanket with familiar smells
-  Familiar puppy toys - Ziploc bag of their food
-  Vaccine and worming record
- Copy of Contract and Health Warranty
- Registration with ALAA and WALA after Spay/Neuter or Sterilization

A well trained dog is a happy dog!  We hope that your journey with an Endeavor Australian Labradoodles will produce a lifetime of valuable memories.  We encourage and advise new owners to attend AKC puppy training classes.  These programs are just as beneficial to you, the owner, as they are for your puppy.

If the price of a puppy is not feasible at this time, perhaps you would like to learn more about our Guardian Dog Program. If you live within a reasonable driving distance to Boerne, Tx you may be a good fit for one of our breeding dogs.

Even if you decide not to purchase a puppy from Endeavor Australian Labradoodles, we wish you the best on finding your companion puppy.  As a future responsible pet owner, look for Health, Testing and Temperament to fit your family and demand to see the care and condition of the dogs who are being used for breeding.  The best way to keep dogs out of shelters is for you to research, be informed and be a responsible pet owner to any dog that you decide bring home!
