Health Guarantee
At Ashford Manor Labradoodles, we have a 2 year genetic health guarantee. What this means is that if one of our puppies has an inherited genetic health problem, we will refund up to half your purchase price to be applied for vet expenses. We will need to have a written statement from your veterinarian, and we will need to have the puppy checked by our veterinarian as well. All expenses for this will be provided by the purchaser.
Our Process
Our process is a little different than a lot of breeders, it is not a first come first serve basis. We want to ensure that every family and puppy match is the best possible fit for your family. Hear more about our process in our podcast.
- To do this we have families fill out an 2020 Ashford-Manor-Labradoodle-Puppy-Application. Hear more about our application process in our podcast episode.
- We take pictures every other week to show you how the puppies are growing and developing; as well as see what puppies each family likes. We ask that families tell us which puppies they prefer in order of preference at 6 weeks of age, just prior to temperament testing.
- Around 7 weeks of age we crate them all up and take them for a car ride to the trainer for temperament testing where Julie Case will test the litter and each individual puppy.
- This testing is performed in a location the puppies have never been to, have never met the tester, and see all kinds of other dogs. This helps determine what levels of stress they can endure.
- Our temperament testing is a proprietary test owned by Ultimate Canine and only some results will be shared with the public.
- After temperament testing we look at each families application, the puppies photos they like, and the temperament test to help find the best suited pairing of family to puppy.

Purchasing a puppy from Ashford Manor is a three-step process. We have learned, over time, that having conversations with each prospective puppy family has been the best method to a successful, agreeable, and happy transaction; You have a chance to learn more about us first-hand and determine if we are a suitable breeder for you. We have the opportunity to determine if you are a good match for one of our puppies plus tell you about our current and upcoming litters.
- The first step for you, the prospective puppy family, is to contact us and also fill out a 2020 Ashford-Manor-Labradoodle-Puppy-Application (which can be found below on this page).
- After you have had a chance to speak with us and we have had a chance to review the application, we will then direct you back to this page to make an initial deposit (the initial deposit is the same for all class levels of our puppies). This deposit ensures that you have a spot in the queue. It is during this time that you will also choose which level of puppy you are interested in (companion, therapy, or service). Each level is a different price and is reflected in the balance payment of the next and final step. Here more about how we work with our puppies and learn about the levels in our episode.
- Finally, the third step will occur when you come to pick up the puppy or before it is delivered to you. You will be directed back to this page to pay the balance by credit card on this page or you can pay cash or check when picking up your puppy. Depending upon the level you have chosen, you will choose a different balance price to pay. If you have questions, we can help you through this last step.

We and our guardians work with all of our puppies every day to ensure they are up to Ashford Manor standards. We take great pride in each and every puppy that leaves our home. They are also carefully matched with each family for the best experience for all involved.
