Getting a puppy from Lauren

Lauren has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Lauren partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“Families don’t “pick” in a particular order. Instead, each family gets the opportunity to meet the puppies via video chat and, together, we discuss which options would be best for you and for each pup. After meeting with the families, I assess all information to make matches. Families receive match information about their newest family member by email! Once the matches are made, we sign contracts, coordinate Gotcha Day logistics and tie up any other loose ends!”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and $3,300 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“Our pet price is $3800. This includes health guarantee, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, puppy socialization & enrichment using the Puppy Culture curriculum, microchip & more! All our puppies are the same price regardless of color or size. Your $500 reservation fee holds your spot on our waitlist and is applied to the total price of your puppy.”

Contract & health guarantee

Lauren may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.

Sunny Heart Doodles reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Labradoodles.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Lauren is truly exceptional and wholeheartedly adores her dogs and puppies! She takes impeccable care of every aspect of their development and well-being, giving them everything they need to thrive, physically, socially, and emotionally. We had the most incredible, memorable, smooth, and exciting experience with her! She answered every single question, kept us updated with gorgeous portraits, and took great care in ensuring that each puppy was matched with their ideal future family. She will forever be a special part of our family’s story, as she helped match us with our absolutely perfect little pup 💕. If you are considering working with Lauren to add love and paws to your family, please look no further! Our girl is perfect in every way and we had so much fun working with Lauren to bring her home. Sunny Heart Doodles is top notch and we will be forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren!

    I'm in love! I'm so happy to have Brody Bear join my home. Sunny Heart Doodles was so easy and amazing to work with. The entire process was clearly defined, and Lauren was super friendly and always available to answer questions. Now that I've brought my puppy home, I know I can still reach out to her at any time too!
