Pricing

There are a lot of factors that influence pricing. Primarily it depends on our overhead costs. These kinds of costs include overall care which is often impacted by the economy. We have seen a steady increase in the cost of dog food, pet supplies, and veterinary care. Our costs are also impacted by the breeding costs for each litter. Sometimes we incur a stud fee to use outside bloodlines and each of our dogs have had various health testing that averages $500-1000 each. Good breeding practices are not cheap and our commitment to producing healthy pets that represent breed standards, reflects those costs.

Although this is a hobby and passion for our family, in order to keep our program going we strive to make a profit just like any other small business. Our prices reflect the extensive time and energy that we commit to our dogs. Our hearts and souls go into this program and we spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with them. Imagine the amount of work when you first bring your new puppy home and multiple that by our average litter size. Raising puppies is a lot of work! We also extensively research market trends each year and price accordingly so that we can continue to be competitive with other top breeders in our area. Economics is always a factor. There is a higher demand for quality because that usually equates to lower lifetime costs for our clients. When you invest in a well bred dog, their average lifetime costs are lower. Our puppies are certainly not the cheapest you will find but we believe that you get what you pay for when it comes to quality bred dogs. If good breeding, evidence-based socialization, and health tests are not your priority, than our puppies may not be for you. What we do promise, is that we stand behind our program and are always here for any questions or concerns that you have for the lifetime of your pet. Although prices may vary by litter due to changing overhead costs; below are some average prices of some of our puppies.

Goldendoodles

$1000-$1500 Black and Silver puppies are sometimes the hardest to place. Their features are harder to see in contrast to lighter coats that better emphasize facial traits. For this reason they are less desirable and we discount them below average to attract families on a budget or those who want a better value for the same quality puppy. The silvering comes from the poodle bloodlines and is known as the “fading” gene. It causes the black pigmentation to fade over time to a lighter gray. This can occur in just certain areas on your puppy, such as their face or all over! We think they are just as gorgeous as any of the other more popular colors!

$1200-$1500 Phantom puppies are characterized by their darker coats and tan points. They can also carry the fading gene and will present with varying shades of black, gray and tan.

$1200-$1500 Sable puppies have various shades of browns and tans with dark seal or black points. They are like the opposite of a phantom and their colors are reversed. Just like the darker puppies above, they can also carry the fading gene.

$1800-$2500 Red and Golden puppies are the most popular in our program. Some are very light and almost cream in color, some have loud abstract white markings, and others are a darker red/brown.

$1500-2500 Parti-factored puppies are the most rare colors for goldendoodles. The parti gene is what causes them to have a mostly white coat with spots. This gene was brought over by the poodle but is a recessive gene, meaning both parents have to carry a copy in order to pass it along. This is why they are more rare and thus more sought after.

French Bulldogs

Standard colors: Fawn, Brindle, Cream and Pied variations of any of these. These colors are the only colors recognized by AKC for show standard purposes and are also the most common colors for French Bulldogs. Our standard puppies average between $3000-4000 and may be more depending on our costs for each litter.

Exotic colors: Blue, Lilac, Chocolate, Merle, Black and Tan, and any variety of related fawns, brindles or pied in these color variations. Although they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, it does not not mean that these dogs are not purebred OR lacking in quality. Many of these colors have been around for decades and ARE recognized in other kennel clubs. Despite this disadvantage, they are highly sought after because of their uniqueness and stand-out features. There is also no true evidence to suggest that any of the exotic colors are less healthy than their standard counterparts. We strive to focus on health and structure first and only have exotic colors occasionally as a result of very careful and selective breeding. Due to the often recessive and less frequent traits, these puppies come with a higher price tag and average $4000-8000 depending on the specific genes and bloodlines, as well as the litter size and costs.
