Our pricing philosophy

At North County Doodles, our pricing reflects the level of care, intention, and ethical breeding practices that go into producing healthy, well-socialized Australian Mountain Doodles. We believe families deserve transparency, so here’s what contributes to the cost of our puppies:

 

Premium genetics & health standards

Before breeding, our mama dog and selected studs undergo extensive genetic testing to ensure healthy, high-quality bloodlines. These screenings help prevent inherited conditions and give your puppy the best possible start. Along with being 100% genetically clear through Embark, both parents are OFA certified for hips and elbows.

 

Home-raised, hands-on socialization

Every puppy is raised inside our West Escondido home, not a kennel. From day one, they’re exposed to early neurological stimulation (ENS), early scent introduction (ESI), household sounds, children, and structured socialization, helping them grow into confident, well-adjusted companions.

 

Veterinary care & preventative health

Your puppy receives:

• Age-appropriate vaccinations

• Regular deworming

• A full veterinary exam

• A clean bill of health before going home

• A one year health guarantee for testable genetic conditions and life-threatening congenital defects

​

We also provide high-quality nutrition and supplements throughout pregnancy, whelping, and puppyhood.

​

Coat type, color & structure

Australian Mountain Doodles can vary in coat type, markings, and rarity of color.

Pricing may reflect:

• Tri, Merle, or Phantom markings

• Allergy-friendly coats

• Structural quality and conformation

• Temperament suitability (family, therapy, service-leaning traits)
