The UK Doodle
Club is not accepting any more Associate Members
at this time as we wish to keep both this site
and our club manageable at this early stage of
the club's development. There are five
Founder Members. We feel we have a wide range of
experience and expertise in breeding
Labradoodles.
We are
conveniently located across the whole of the UK

As
Labradoodle Lovers we all promise to comply with
and uphold these high standards of breeding
practice.
The UK Doodle Club Code of
Conduct
 |
UK Doodle Club Member's
puppies are born IN THE FAMILY HOME
where they are socialised from an early
age with children and other pets.
|
|
|
Their dogs are properly
housed, fed, watered and exercised.
|
|
|
It is widely recognised
that Miniature Labradoodles attain full
maturity somewhat earlier than their
larger cousins, therefore UK Doodle Club
members do not breed from any Miniature
bitch under 18 months of age or any
Standard bitch under 2 years of age. |
|
|
They do not breed from
any dog that has not been vet checked
before mating and they must meet at
least the minimum Health Testing
requirements for this breed although
preferably they will also do the
additional tests. (See
Health
Testing Page). They will be able to
show you the certificates for each test.
|
|
|
UK Doodle Club Members
do not breed every season. |
|
|
Although
the UK Doodle Club's main priority is
health testing, great attention is also
paid to the type and temperaments of our
member's dogs, making sure that they
only breed pet dogs suitable for an
active family. Members agree only to
breed from dogs with the delightful
nature the Labradoodle is so renowned
for.
|
|
|
UK Doodle Club Members
will not sell their puppies or dogs to
pet shops or give or donate them as a
prize of any kind, and will
never deliver puppies. |
|
|
They ensure their dogs
are covered against disease by
administering the appropriate
vaccinations or are ensuring that their
dogs are treated with homeopathic
nosodes and Titre Tested before mating
and will always seek veterinary
attention if required. |
|
|
Members provide written
instructions (diet sheet, helpful hints
etc) to all new owners which cover the
physical, emotional and social care of
their new puppy. |
|
|
Members provide 6 weeks
free insurance with each puppy.
|
|
|
Members will never
knowingly misrepresent, advertise or
mislead anyone regarding the
characteristics of any of their dogs and
none of our members will ever promise
that their puppies are hypoallergenic or
that they will not shed their coats,
neither will they imply that their
puppies are incapable of causing an
allergic reaction. |
|
|
Members will ask all new
owners to enter into a Puppy Contract -
giving both parties peace of mind.
|
|
|
They will only sell dogs
to homes that can offer happy healthy
lives and responsible ownership to their
puppies and will help with re-homing
should circumstances change.
|
|
|
Members are free to
refuse to sell a puppy to anyone they
deem to be offering an unsuitable home.
|
|
|
All our members offer an
after-care service for as long as you
and your new puppies need us.
|
|
|
Please expect to pay
more for a Labradoodle puppy who's
parents have received all the relevant
health testing's, socialisation, and
every effort has been made for you to
have a healthy happy puppy. suitable to
be raised with you and your family |
|
|
This code of conduct
applies to breeders/puppies born after
March 2008

Some of our members exceed this Code of Conduct,
prospective puppy purchasers should feel happy
to ask what is provided at their initial
interview.
