Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of dogs do you raise?
We raise holistic, multigenerational Mini Aussiedoodles, Mini Sheepadoodles and soon to be - Bernedoodles and Cavapoos!
What does multigenerational mean?
This means our puppies come from 4+ generation lines.
Are your dogs non shedding and hypoallergenic?
Yes, our dogs are non-shedding, but no dog is truly hypoallergenic. Our puppies are great for families with mild- moderate allergies, but not severe. If you or someone in your family has allergies but are interested in one of our puppies - please reach out to us at heritagedoodles@gmail.com and we make arrangements to ensure one of our puppies will work in your home!
What is the difference between our Aussiedoodles and our Sheepadoodles?
To read more about the differences between each breed, find our individual breed pages.
What kind of testing do you do?
It is imperative to do health testing on all of our dogs. Our parents have their hips and elbows x-rayed and certified by the orthopedic foundation for Animals - or OFA. We use Embark for DNA testing and to clear them on 150 diseases, including those things common to our breeds - example of a few are: Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), MDR1, and Progressive Retinol Atrophy (PRA).
When a breeder prices their puppies, they need to reflect they’ve done their due diligence and when they promise they can produce the best - it is backed up by the commitment to test each parent. We feel very confident we can extend our genetic health guarantee to a minimum of 2 years, 3 years if raised holistically and fed raw.
What is the deposit cost?
$400, non refundable.
Are deposits refundable?
No, our deposits are non refundable. However, your deposit can be transferred to a different or future litter if needed.
How much do your puppies cost?
Pricing depends on colouring and breed, our pricing ranges from Aussiedoodles $3400+. Rarer select options that have taken longer time to develop, are around $5400+ for our sheepadoodles and Aussie mountain.
*Please note, final puppy pricing will be posted to the families or on our website once the puppies are 2-3 weeks old. Until then, we offer the above estimated price range but do not guarantee the price of a puppy until after they are born and it has been determined by us.
