Sales Policy:
At Blue Star Labradoodles we stand behind our dogs and it’s very important to us that you will be happy with your new puppy. Below we have listed our procedures for purchasing one of our precious puppies. All of the Blue Star puppies are Multi-Generation Australian Labradoodles, which means that you will be getting a low to non-shedding, allergy-friendly dog. Our Australian Labradoodles are direct descendants of the old Australian Labradoodle lines imported from Australia where the breed was created.
​
Puppy Pricing:
The cost of a puppy is $3,800 plus W.A. State Sales Tax. 
​
Shipping Procedure:
All costs incurred, if shipping is necessary, are at Buyers Expense. The airlines require all puppies to be Vet checked with a Health Certificate within 10 days of airline shipment and a shipping crate with food dish and water will be needed. Shipping expenses vary depending on where the puppy is being shipped.
​
Deposit & Balance of Payment:
In order to bring this bundle of joy into your life, a Puppy Reservation Form will need to be completed. If you submit this form prior to the breeding of your preferred Litter, then your $500 Reservation Deposit will not be due until after puppies are confirmed via ultrasound (done around 28 days after breeding). Once puppies are confirmed, I will call or email each family, in order of priority based on the date I received the Reservation. I will confirm that you’d like to maintain your Reservation status and that is when your $500 Reservation Deposit is due.

After you have sent in your Puppy Reservation Form, you will receive a confirmation email regarding your placement on a Litter List. The next step to bringing home your Blue Star puppy is...​

Puppy Reservation Deposit ($500):
Your $500 Reservation Deposit is fully refundable if you change your mind, any time, for any reason. (Deposit can also be rolled over onto another litter if we are unable to provide a puppy that suits your preferences.) This deposit ensures your puppy is held for you until your balance is paid and they are ready to become a member of your family.

​Acceptable payment methods for Reservation Deposit:
-Personal or Cashier's Check (Made out to Blue Star Labradoodles)
-Cash
-Zelle
-Venmo (+$9.60 for Business Transaction Fee = $509.60)
-PayPal (+$14.80 for Business Transaction Fee = $514.80)​

Once your Deposit has been received, your spot on the Reservation List will be locked in.

Remaining Balance ($3,300 + Tax): 
Your remaining puppy balance is due 2 weeks prior to puppy pick up when puppies. If you would like to make periodic payments, rather than one large payment prior to shipment or pick up, it is open to discussion, and we’d be happy to work with you.

Acceptable Payment Methods for Remaining Balance:
-Personal or Cashier's Check (Made out to Blue Star Labradoodles) 
​-Zelle
(We are not able to accept Credit Cards at this time)

Cancellations/Refunds:
You may roll your deposit over to the next available litter if we do not have the preferred gender, color or size that you want, or there were not enough puppies in the litter to fulfill your reservation. We typically take reservations for one less puppy than we think will be born in the litter. However occasionally the litter may be smaller than expected. In any of these circumstances, if you choose not to proceed, or do not want to roll your deposit over to the next litter, we will refund your $500 deposit in full. If any additional payments were made, they will also be fully refundable.

Contract:
When puppies are approximately 6 weeks old, I will email you a Puppy Update and your Contract of Sale. I ask you to print off 2 copies, sign both copies and return both to me immediately along with your balance due as specified in your Contract. When received, I will then sign both copies of the Contract, retain one copy for my file and your copy will be put in your Puppy Baby Book.
​
Puppy Selection:
Every litter of Blue Star puppies are professionally evaluated for Temperament & Structure at 8 weeks of age. After their Evaluation I will decide if I plan to retain a puppy/puppies for my breeding program to carry on the characteristics of the Sire and Dam. I will then call families in order of priority, based on the date their Reservation Form were received, to let them know what puppies are available. The Evaluation also helps us match the puppy’s personality, size, coat, color, etc. with your preferences (especially if you were unable to visit the puppies during their Family Visit Day).​​​
​
Guarantees:
We guarantee our puppies for genetic illness for hip and elbow dysplasia and Progressive Retinal Atrophy Eye Disease for up to two years from date of birth. We do OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) testing for hip and elbow dysplasia on all of our breeding dogs. In addition, all must have their eyes certified by an Ophthalmologist Vet to ensure that their eyes are clear of glaucoma, cataracts or tumors every 18 months. Blood tests are also done to ensure liver, kidney and thyroid function are good and there is no diabetes. We are passionate about the Australian Labradoodle and are committed to maintaining the integrity of this incredible breed and raising Multi-generation Australian Labradoodle puppies according to the guidelines and standards of the Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA).
