Labradoodle F3 Litter Due October 10th - waiting list now open
Our labradoodle Rita is now pregnant with her second litter, confirmed by scan.
Rita is beautiful and a devoted, intelligent doodle. She has lived all her life in a busy family home, loves children and other fun people, and is much adored and admired by all. She is of athletic build and loves long walks over moors and forests in our Pennine home. At home she is gentle, affectionate and restful. Her biggest fault – over-wagging! She adores everybody, wagging like crazy when she sees all her many friends – doggy and human.
Rita has good instincts and good doggie manners, friendly with other dogs and loving a good chase or game.
Rita’s coat is soft and shaggy, a non-shedding type, though she does need regular brushing to keep her tangle free.
The puppies’ dad, gentle giant labradoodle Barclay, is a fine café au lait labradoodle, health checked and hip scored, much cherished by his owner because of his fabulously gentle nature. He too is great with children.
Rita was a wonderful attentive mother to her first litter. She has had regular vet health checks since prior to pregnancy, as her welfare is a top priority, along with that of the puppies. Puppies will be brought up in our home, with plenty of attention, hugs, fun and games when they are old enough, to stimulate them, socialise and give them a great start in life.
Puppies will be individually fed on Burns puppy food to promote best health in each of them (no bolting food as they will each have their own bowl). They will have good routines of feed, sleep, playtime, repeat. As they get older they will be encouraged to use a designated corner for excretion and will be partly litter trained in time for their departure to their forever homes.
Puppies will be wormed fortnightly and will each have had a full vet health check and microchipped.
Our requirements for puppies’ new homes are strict.
We will be vetting new owners carefully to ensure that our much-loved puppies will have the very best. We hope you understand! They need forever homes with devoted families to give them good lives and we regard it as our responsibility to ensure they are well provided for as they are not able to do this for themselves.
Preferably new families will be taking the puppies to puppy classes or obtaining professional advice on training, as labradoodles are loving dogs who eager to please and are easily trained – but they can be bouncy and over-exuberant (looking at you here Rita!) and they need to learn good habits and nice manners.
Safety is paramount and especially in the current COVID-19 situation we will take great care over social distancing and staying safe when it comes to viewing the puppies.
Puppies are ready at the end of the first week in December and it does not need saying that Puppies are not Christmas presents…
We will be requiring £500 deposit to secure your puppy once the puppies have arrived safely.
We have included photos of Rita now, and as a puppy, so you can see what the puppies are may look like, as well as the splendid Barclay….

Puppy/Dog Adoption Checklist
Before contacting or visiting the advertiser for this Labradoodle. Please make sure you have printed and read this checklist fully. Do NOT buy a dog or puppy from the advertiser unless you are happy that they follow all the advice on the list. If you have any concerns, report them to us.
- Do your research first
Getting a new dog or puppy is a massive commitment, so make sure you have researched the breed fully and have the time and commitment necessary to care for the dog. You can read our detailed Information guide about dogs for potential new dog owners. Also read our Labradoodle Dog breed information profile. - Confirm that the advertiser is genuine
You should verify this by arranging to visit the dog or puppy at the advertisers home, if they make excuses or try to ask for money or a deposit to be paid online without visiting the dog at their home, or if the advertiser attempts to deliver the puppies or meet you at any other location than their own home, then please do not agree to this. NEVER pay for a dog or send money as a deposit without visiting and seeing the dog at its home beforehand. Please read our article on avoiding potential scams.
Pets4Homes do not verify that all advertisers are genuine, so you must make sure you visit the advertiser at their home to confirm yourself. If you are unsure that the advertiser is genuine, please report them to us. - Can the puppies be viewed with their Mother?
The advertiser should ALWAYS let you see the puppies with their mother, and in certain circumstances should let you see the puppies father. Not being able to see the puppies mother is a sign the puppies have not been bred by the advertiser and possibly imported. If the advertiser makes excuses why you cannot see the puppies mum, please walk away and report them to us. Pets4Homes do not allow the third party sale of puppies. All litters of puppies advertised, MUST have been bred by the advertiser. - Is the Puppy over 8 Weeks of age?
Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before they can leave their mothers. Most responsible sellers will keep their puppies longer than this before they let them go to new homes. Read further information on the minimum age puppies should be before leaving their mothers - Is the puppy/dog Microchipped ?
From April 6th 2016 it will be required by law that all dog over 8 weeks of age are microchipped and that the keepers details registered against them are kept up to date. The breeder is responsible for microchipping the puppies and must have their details registered on the microchip database first. Please check to make sure you receive the microchip documentation with chip number BEFORE taking the dog or puppy home and then arrange to transfer the microchip in to your own name. (More Info) - Check the Health of the Puppy or Dog
It can be difficult for the average person to check if a dog or puppy is healthy or not, so if you decide to adopt or buy the puppy, make sure that the seller agrees that you can return them within 48 hours for a full refund after taking the dog or puppy to a Vet of your choice for a health check. The seller should be willing to let you do this. If the puppy has already been health checked by their own vet, make sure you get evidence for this in the form of vet records and phone their vet to confirm this. - Is the puppy or dog up to date with their vaccinations?
Puppies should receive 2 vaccinations, the first at around 8 to 10 weeks of age and the second, two weeks later at around 10 to 12 weeks of age. Older Dogs require booster vaccinations occasionally as recommended by their Vet. Ask the breeder which vaccinations they have had and if not, why not. Puppies should have at least had their first set of vaccinations before they leave. If the seller has not started the puppies vaccinations, it will be your responsibility to make sure you arrange both vaccinations 7 days before letting your puppy go outside. (More Info) - Have the puppies been treated for worms and fleas?
Puppies should really be wormed at around 2 weeks of age, and again at around 5 weeks of age, and finally just before they leave the seller/breeder at 8 to 12 weeks of age. - Ask questions about puppies mother (and father)
Ask how many litters the mother has had and how old she is, she should be at least 1.5 years old. Ask about her temperament. Ask if the parents have any health issues and if they have been tested for common health issues known in their breed. The advertiser should be willing to tell you all about the puppies parents. - Is the dog/puppy registered with the kennel club?
If they are, then check to make sure you are given the correct kennel club documents BEFORE you decide to take the dog home. It may also be worth phoning the kennel club to check the information provided is correct. - Have the puppies been socialised ?
Make sure that puppies have been socialised from a very early age and are raised in a home environment, have interacted with their litter mates and are used to people, children and general household life. Puppies that haven't been raised in a home environment may develop behavioural issues, have temperamental problems, be difficult to housetrain and find adjusting to family life hard.
