Local Family Programs
If you live within 3 hours driving distance to Central Oregon for girl puppies or in Central Oregon for the boys, own your own home and have a fenced yard, you are welcome to apply for our program.
The guardian home program places our breeding dogs and puppies in permanent pet homes while still participating in the breeding program.
Benefits to the dog: She/he is a pet, in their permanent home, with all the love and companionship these dogs are bred for. Girls would come to Alpen Ridge for mating and whelping, then return to you between these times. Boys would only come for servicing.
Benefits to you: A top quality Australian Labradoodle as a pet without paying pet price. Health testing paid by Alpen Ridge. Ongoing support from Alpen Ridge.
A great program for both the dog and the guardian homes!
Dogs available for the Local Family Program:
Girls:
Alpenridge River Melody "Ellie"
Ellie is the last daughter of Limerick. She is a lovely gold fleece coat large mini/small medium, 5 1/2 months old, expect to mature to about 28-32 lbs. She was to be my personal pet, but family circumstances have not allowed me to give her the training she deserves. She is doing excellent in the house, loves her pillows and sleeps on the bed at night. She loves to cuddle on the couch while watching tv. She goes to the door to go potty or noses your leg. I have just started teaching her to use a bell. She also knows how to use a doggie door. She is a VERY calm puppy and sensitive. She would not handle rough treatment. With just showing her twice, she already knows "down" and is excellent with "sit". Super intelligent and wants to please. She really needs someone who can work with her to have an absolutely fantastic dog. She is use to other dogs but is happy to be by herself. If her "lifestyle" sounds like it fits you, here is an opportunity for a pup well on her way to being wonderful.
Sunsethills Lady Bella
Bella came over from Australia late February. She is a lovely fleece coat medium blue and black parti girl. She is very sweet and soft natured. She has always been with other dogs and due to her submissive nature, would do best with a canine buddy she could follow or someone that is home quite a bit. She is very gentle and loves kids. She would be fine with toddlers, also good with cats.
Available to guardian home.
Punkin
Some have asked, and yes, Punkin is still available. Darling small mini red girl. Punkin loves to be held and is definitely a lap dog. She is only 13 inches, a true small mini. This gorgeous red girl has just finished her health testing and is ready for her permanent guardian home. She is doing very well on housetraining and is good with kids and other dogs.
