About UsWe are a couple of retired healthcare professionals who breed Doodles for a hobby. We re-located to Kea'au from Portland, Oregon in 2017.
We breed our females just once a year, instead of every six months. We feel it gives them a longer time to re-cooperate, to regain their health and stamina from having a litter of puppies. Because of this approach the number of litters from our dogs are limited. Our puppies get individual attention and we are probably the only breeder in Hawaii that conducts an early development program for our puppies. Early neuro-stimulation (Biosensor training) results in: a more stress tolerant dog; a sense of well being; builds trust; and helps promote a well rounded dog. This sets up the ground work for early socialization. See the links below on training for more info. |
Dee (retired) is our multi-gen Parti-colored Labradoodle (F1b). She is a no nonsense yard boss and keeps the other dogs in line. Dee is a very good watch dog and is wary of strangers. She is a devoted dog, eager to please. Dee is a natural hunter, unfortunately for the 6 squirrels, 2 rats, 1 possum and 2 chickens she caught while on the main land.
Dee is Willow's Dam. Dee is on-site.

Process of Buying Your Puppy
We do not require an application. However, we do want to know what a person's previous dog experience has been, what one's living/work arrangements are and type of living environment prospective buyers will be providing for the dog . Doodles are very people orientated and need companionship. We strive to place our puppies in forever families, thus the screening of potential buyers.
We encourage getting on our no-obligation wait list; and to follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/laurelwooddoodles/?ref=page_internal) to stay current with litter events. Non-refundable deposits are made at the time puppy is picked from the litter. Balance is due when puppy is picked up at eight weeks old. (We will not hold puppies over eight weeks as we do not board dogs.)
Puppies come with a limited 2 year health guarantee. They will be Vet checked, wormed several times, have received first shots and started on heart worm medication prior to pick up. Puppy will be sent home with: material that has the mom's scent on it to help with transitioning from our home to yours; health record with information including dates/type of worming and heart worm medications, vaccines the puppy already received and when the next ones are due. Customer will get a copy of our Vet 's exam on the litter for their Vet.

Intra-Island Shipping
We encourage people to pick up their puppy. However, if shipping is needed our preferred airlines is Aloha Air Cargo out of Hilo. The cost of the puppy does not include the expenses associated with the cost of shipping. At this time, there is an additional $200 to cover the shipping crate and flight costs. This cost is an estimate.
Shipping is done early morning to avoid the heat. Puppies will not be fed the morning of shipping to avoid possible vomiting (which can add to dehydration). Since shipping puppies can cause a bit of dehydration, we recommend having water and orange flavored Pedialyte available for the puppy when you pick the puppy up from Aloha Air Cargo. We encourage people to have on hand a 3 or 5 cc syringe (obtain from a farm supply) to administer the fluid along the inside of the cheek if puppy isn't interested in drinking.

Misty MethodWe use a modified Misty Method for starting the puppies on house breaking.
We do not guarantee puppies will be totally housebroken. They are started on the process. |
Calm PetAs part of desensitization to every day sounds, we play Calm Pet CD so the puppies can get use to hearing everyday noises and fireworks. The goal here to decrease the stress they might endure from being overly stimulated.
