Puppy Application Process

OUR APPLICATION PROCESS

Submit an application and let us know which litter or litters interest you.

We will review your application and contact you via email or phone to ask any further questions we might have to ensure a good match can be made for you and a Hunterberry Hill Labradoodle puppy and/or let you know your application has been approved.

Puppy Adoption fee is $3800. Enjoy no sales tax in Oregon!
Submit a $500 non-refundable deposit to secure your spot on the Reservation List. The deposit will be applied towards the pet puppy purchase price of $3800.

When the puppies are born, you will receive a birth announcement. The first photo will be taken and sent out at 1 week old. You will receive updates several times during their first 8 weeks and photos and video clips will be shared through our Instagram and Facebook pages.

Puppies go for a vet health check at 7 weeks of age.

Your final payment of $3300 is due when your puppy is 5 weeks old. Hunterberry Hill Labradoodles reserves the right to release your spot on the reservation list if payment is not received on time.

PUPPY SELECTION PROCESS: PUPPY MATCHING

At 7 weeks of age, after we have done a full assessment of the litter, we match puppies with their families. Our evaluation of the puppies’ temperament in conjunction with the adoptive families’ preferences stated in the applications, email correspondence, and phone conversations are all taken into consideration. Puppy matching is the best way for us to ensure that your family will end up with the puppy you have been wanting, and is the reason we do not allow families to choose a puppy simply based on photos alone. Our puppies live with us in our home, which gives us insight into their individuality. We will always be honest with our families about what we see in the puppies to help ensure the best match! We use the Volhard method for temperament testing, as well as our own evaluations from living with these pups and our knowledge and experience from years of raising dogs/puppies.

​Pick-up dates will be given once puppies are born and are usually when puppies are 8 weeks old. If we are shipping a puppy to you that date may vary a bit due to flight availability or our flight nanny’s schedule.

SHIPPING/TRANSPORT OPTIONS:

1. Please be aware we no longer offer Cargo Shipping.
2. You or a family member may fly to Portland International airport to pick up your pup directly from us. We can meet you at the airport with your puppy and the necessary supplies for travel (health record, puppy supplies, and puppy travel carrier), and then the puppy can travel home with you on the plane. The cost for this option including supplies is $150. Please be aware that there is typically a fee for carry-on pets ~$100. You must notify the airline about your intention to bring a pet on board to confirm availability. This option works best with Alaska Airlines.
