Puppy Application

Thank you for your interest in a puppy from Shedless in Seattle Labradoodles. We are selective in choosing homes for our puppies, so we appreciate the time you take to fill out the Puppy Application.

Once we have approved your application, your deposit of $300 secures a puppy in the litter. This deposit will be used toward the purchase price of your puppy. The deposit will be refunded if we are not able to provide the puppy you have requested (size, color, delivery date). It will not be refunded if you choose to withdraw your application.

Please understand the process of matching pup to applicant. You are welcome to visit and express your four favorite pups in the litter, and why you have chosen them. Please identify any pup that you do not favor. Using both your preferences and my experience, I will match a pup to each applicant that best. I appreciate your thoughtful consideration to this process. Experience tells me that those who only find one pup in the litter that has potential, may not be the folks I choose to work with, unless this dog has a firm future as a service dog.

I will make a match that:

1) meets the needs of each individual applicant
2) meets the needs of each individual pup
3) will provide a lifetime match in which “never the two shall part”

Why do I state this? There have been times that as a softie, I have been talked out of a solid match and into a pup that someone chooses based on aesthetics. It has not worked out well on a few occasions.

Does anyone get preference in choosing their pup at Shedless in Seattle Labradoodles? Yes indeed!

1) An applicant and dog that has a solid plan as a service dog. These need special consideration.
2) Those who have purchased a pup from me in the past. A loyal friend is a treasure.
3) Future hopeful breeding dogs. This assures the health and success of the breed.

Some breeders will sell first pick of the litter to the highest bidder, or to a person paying hundreds or thousands of dollars. Hmmmmm. Perhaps if you are willing to make a very very meaningful contribution to one of my favored philanthropies we can talk. A meaningful and generous contribution! The kind that brings hope to the hopeless, food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, dignity to the oppressed. Run it by me! I might be moved.
