Genetic Guarantees
Let’s say you are buying a puppy from a reputable breeder (such as from Home Sweet Home Doodle LLC). In this case, there are certain genetic guarantees they can offer so you can be sure you are getting a truly happy, healthy puppy.
However, such guarantees increase the purchase price for two key reasons:
- Parent dog health testing can cost the us breeders a significant amount. DNA checks for genetic defects for instance, is upwards of $200, and a X-rays, Ultrasounds exam can be more than $140 or more.
- Health guarantees, offered by most high-quality breeders, make it a condition of purchase that if any health conditions are discovered within a certain period (usually two years), the puppy can be returned for a full refund. This can be a risk to me the breeders.
While health testing and guarantees may seem a little too much, you have to keep in mind that they could save you a considerable amount down the road if something goes wrong in future with vet fees (not to mention, kids crying and you’d be heartbroken too).
Breeder Stock
Another considerable expense for responsible breeders like us is the parent pups. Not just does the dogs need to be in the best of health, but in the case of F1b Aussiedoodles, they will need to be CKC registered, which ours are here at Home Sweet Home Doodle LLC. Such dogs could cost anywhere between $750 to $3000. For latter-generation Doodles, breeders will require health-tested Aussiedoodles, which, again, can be very expensive indeed!
Besides this, breeding costs can add up such as food, medication, supplements and food. If the facility only has a female, they will need to pay a stud fee (male). Then they will need to factor in the cost of taking care of the mother when she is pregnant, prenatal vitamin, special food, whelping box and other kind of special equipment. She will require a special kind of food – as will the puppies when they are born. Then there are vaccinations, deworming, vet checks to pay for, among other things. Not to mention
Demand
Aside from breeder costs, the demand for these remarkable dogs is also going to impact how much facilities sell them for. Breeders are naturally going to take advantage of the scarcity principle (limited supply – high demand) when working out their prices.
Aussiedoodles are relatively recent Doodles, but they are beloved for their friendly characters and different coloring. As more people discover these cool canines, more people want them, but, as seen above, the work that goes into breeding them means that there often aren’t as many puppies available as there are families looking to adopt them. This currently puts them at the pricier end of the Doodle spectrum.
Breeder Reputation
Finally, as we have covered above, quality matters. Breeders that have good reputations through either producing the healthiest or most unique puppies or the best added value for money will be able to set higher prices.
It’s not all about profit, though; these facilities will have invested a great deal of money into their breeding programs. And believe me I did here at Home Sweet Home Doodles LLC. Not only have I have sourced the very best parent dogs, but I also have the most extensive array of genetic testing. I have also included shots, deworming, microchipping, basic training, and socialization – all of which will make your life as a new pet parent that much easier but, sadly, also adds to the price.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF AUSSIEDOODLE BREEDERS AND HOW PRICE VARIES
It goes without saying that not every Aussiedoodle breeding facility is on a similar level. As there is no official regulating body for these dogs (but plenty of unofficial ones), standards can range from very good to very bad. Broadly speaking, there are three different types of breeders:
Professional Breeders
Professional breeders are the ones to be on the lookout for. Any puppy you buy here is going to be of the best quality in terms of health, temperament, and more. You can identify these kinds of operations by their online presence, willingness to provide information about genetic testing, and third-party reviews. Puppies from a reputable breeder will be more expensive – but trust us, it’s absolutely worth it!
Backyard Breeders
Backyard breeders are often small-scale facilities where individuals breed their pet(s) for profit. While these may seem harmless and even preferable as the parent pups are family dogs, such breeders have little-to-no knowledge about ethical breeding, or the kind of genetic standards needed to create healthy Doodle puppies. These dogs will be cheaper but are less likely to thrive.
Puppy Mills
Puppy Mills are large-scale commercial operations where the animals are simply a way for the breeders to make money. Dogs are overbred, not health tested, and often kept in cramped, dirty kennels and fed low-quality food. Puppies from puppy mills are susceptible to all kinds of health conditions. If an Aussiedoodle costs less than $2,500, chances are you’re dealing with a puppy mill.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON AUSSIEDOODLES
Why are Aussiedoodles Expensive?
Despite being hybrid dogs, Aussiedoodles are often on the expensive side because of the work that goes into breeding high-quality, healthy puppies. This can be especially tricky when combining two very different breeds. Be very wary of facilities offering cheaper ones – they may have neglected necessary genetic tests and health procedures.
Are Aussiedoodles High Maintenance?
Aussiedoodles aren’t particularly high-maintenance dogs, but neither are they a breeze to look after. Like every pet, you need to be able to set aside a certain amount of time to feed, care for and exercise these dogs. The larger the Doodle, the more time this will need to be, but the rewards of having one of these pups as part of the family are great indeed.
Aussiedoodles make excellent pets – especially for families. However, if you are thinking about getting one of these gorgeous dogs, you will need to think long and hard about the financial ramifications. As covered in the article, they stretch far beyond the initial price of the dog. Ask any owner lucky enough to have one of these pups, though, and they will undoubtedly tell you they are worth every single cent.
