Agape Labradoodle Adoption Process
Australian Labradoodle Breeder near Denver, Colorado
Updated Visitation Policy
To keep our puppies safe and healthy, especially with the recent rise in Parvo and Canine Influenza cases, we’ve made some changes to our visitation policy:
- Families with a Reservation Deposit can visit their litter after the puppies receive their first vaccinations at 6 weeks old.
- Visitors without a deposit may only visit our adult females when there are no puppies on-site.
Our top priority is the health and well-being of your future companion. Healthy puppies come first!
Spay & Neuter Policy
We no longer spay or neuter puppies before they go home. Instead:
- Every puppy will be placed under a Strict Spay/Neuter Contract.
- Forever Families are responsible for having the procedure done, based on their veterinarian’s guidance.
Understanding Pricing & Quality
Not all Labradoodles are created equal. Prices vary depending on breeder quality, generation, and breed type.
At Agape Labradoodles, we take pride in our responsible breeding program. While some breeders may offer lower prices, it often comes at the cost of proper care and health testing.
We invest significantly in the health and temperament of our dogs—because when you adopt from us, you’re not just getting a pet. You’re welcoming a healthy, loving companion for life.
Our Commitment to Quality
We breed only genetically sound Australian Labradoodles and are proud recipients of the Gold and Silver Paw Awards from the Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA) for our thorough health testing.

To Get Started:
Fill out the puppy application form to join our reservation list.
Before the Puppy Arrives:
- We’ll notify you when our mama dog is in heat, when she’s bred, pregnant (with ultrasound confirmation), and when the puppies are born.
- If your chosen litter doesn’t have a puppy for you, we’ll move your deposit to the next available litter.
- You can be placed on multiple litter lists (with similar size/color).
Puppy Updates & Visit:
- We send photo and development updates every 2 weeks.
- At 6 weeks, you can visit and choose your puppy based on your spot on the list.
Important Info:
- Full payment is due at 4 weeks. Late payments may affect your spot on the list.
- We reserve the first and second pick from each litter for our breeding program (decided at 6 weeks).
- Puppies are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks.
- First vaccinations are given at 6 weeks.
- Puppies are pets only — all come with a spay/neuter contract.

From time to time, Mother Nature does not cooperate with our plans; sometimes, breeding is unsuccessful, and no litter is born. If the litter of your choice does not arrive, your deposit will be moved to the next litter of that size, type, and color variety.
