Training and ongoing care:

Pups can bring many many years of joy and love. Bringing a pup into your home is a long-term decision, and you need to make sure it is the right time and pup for you. We can help guide you through this process. Please read through our training section, labradoodle care pages.

If the timing is right, and you are going to be a great home for one of our pups, we look forward to helping you. Please contact us if you would like us to call or if you have any questions about bringing a puppy into your home.

NON-SHEDDING coats:

We have fleece and sometimes wool coated pups available, both of which are suitable for people with dog hair allergies. Our multi generation dogs dont leave hair around the house, and if you give a black dog a hug with a white shirt, you dont end up with hairs on you, so virtually non shedding.

Pricing:

How a pup is bred and raised makes a world of difference to the pup, its temperament, long term health and how quickly the pup settles into your home. We aim for best practice with all our pups, who receive much more time, professionalism and expertise than most. We also have a well-qualified, trainer working with us full time. Our pups benefit from detailed care with temperature, hygiene, expertise and a superb environment. Pups are individually priced, and include tons of love, affection, biosensor training, etc. Pups are microchipped, have their first vaccination, and the microchip registration is transferred into your name. Puppy comes with a collar and lead, scented blanket, toy, and our guarantee. Prices do not include food, travel etc. Your pup will also benefit from a hormone sparing sterilisation, which allows pups to develop with the benefit of their natural hormones. We are here to help with questions, we dont mind if you have had puppy for a week or ten years, we love being kept up to date and seeing them develop and become much treasured family members.

Health Tested Parents + Guarantee:

Once you have settled on a pup, we email photos of parents and also their health reports. We only breed from thoroughly tested parents whose own genetic reports will ensure the genetic health of pups by heritability.

Pups are covered with a solid 3 year genetic health guarantee. There is also a guarantee to ensure that puppy settles into your home well, epecially important when you are interstate.

Hormone Sparing Sterilisation:

The topic of when, how and if to neuter dogs is a complicated one. As a responsible breeder, we aim to do our very best to ensure that pups can grow and develop to their full potential, without health being impacted from early age desexing and that it is not possible for them to end up in a backyard breeding situation. There are a lot of differing opinions and ideologies around desexing, and we aim to do what is best for the dog, based on current research, and our vet’s recommendation. Please read our hormone sparing sterilisation page for links to research and more information.

Fast Track Training:

Our pups require a lot of early work to develop confidence, socialising, and an understanding of how to ask, and learn. Our young pups learn quickly and we have a trainer working with us full time, who is National Dog Trainers Federation qualified, and very experienced and effective. We are able to offer individual early training to pups before they leave for just $280. This includes 7 sessions with our trainer, plus an in-home FaceTime or Whatsap session to do a training handover, making it super easy for your pup to settle in to their new home, with all the early skills in place. Pups are introduced to luring to place, sit, loose lead walking, acceptance of clip station, crate training, leading and recall. Pups go our through a side opening puppy door to toilet outside on artificial turf runs, which helps a lot with house training when puppy comes home. They have also had positive introductions to crate training. This gives you a great head-start. However, with any dog, you will need to continue training when puppy arrives. Pups are all different, so some need to focus on certain aspects more than others.

With every Cider Fields pup, you receive over $400 of extras, including:

1. First month of Knose Pet Insurance,

2. First Puppy C3 Vaccination (Quality Early completion vaccine)

3. Microchipping and transfer to you is paid

4. Hormone Sparing Sterilisation enabling pups to grow with their normal hormones intact, without risking pups being damaged by early age neutering.

5. Parents genetically and hip / elbow tested, temperament selected.

6. Pups have the best of diets, a pristine environment with lots of love, expertise and early training (we have a full-time accredited trainer).

7. We provide lots of information and help with any questions

8. Health and settling in guarantee to ensure you have a smooth introduction to your home.

9. Plus, we have everything you will need for your pup (available at well below retail prices).

10. Feel free to phone Sonia on 0455097088 with any questions, and, to arrange a FaceTime or WhatsApp (please dont use Whatsapp as first contact - we dont see messages from this).

We currently have miniature, medium and standard sized pups

The following pups are currently available. Page updated 10.01.2024. Pups remain on the market until a deposit is paid.

Litters coming soon….

'Hello, my name is Georgie Lee and I am a 3rd Vet Science student.

During June 2022, I completed a 5-day placement at Cider Fields.  During this period, I learned a tremendous amount about the management of a boarding facility, the specifics of dog breeding and the importance of grooming and cleanliness of a dog's ears. 

I was able to interact with many different dogs of different ages. These ranged from week-old puppies to more mature dogs and I was able to see how the animal management and food changed accordingly. 

I was very impressed by how clean, efficient and organised the facility was. The scheduling of the daily tasks and activities was also done very well.

My hosts, Sonia and Max were extremely accommodating and welcoming while I stayed with them during my placement and this resulted in a fantastic overall experience. 

I would definably recommend this facility for anyone wanting to learn about grooming, breeding and the overall management of a breeding business. It was a very well-rounded and eye-opening experience.’

Have a lovely night! 

Sincerely, 

Georgie Lee

Hello Sonia and the team at Cider Field.
What can I say but thank you, thank you, thank you for my beautiful Sophie.   
Sophie came into our lives 4 weeks ago and I cannot find the words to express how much joy she has given us.  She is perfect.  Although I have never had a pup before I did have quite high expectations but she has exceeded these in every way and continues to do so.  Friends and family cannot believe that she is only 16 weeks old and that she has only been with us for 4 weeks.  She is very well behaved, has the most gentle nature, but also has spirit.  She is a quick learner (I am quite sure she understands every word I say).  She has been exposed to a lot of different people, dogs, situations and experiences since we have had her and has handled these with ease.   Her manners are impeccable. 
I have no doubt that her breeding together with all the early work provided by you and the team have made her the puppy she is today.  Again thank you.  

Vicki
