LABRADOODLES AUSTRALIA - INSURANCE

All of our Labradoodle puppies are provided with six weeks of FREE insurance, when they go to their new homes.

And this insurance can be continued after the six weeks, if desired.

The free insurance covers a range of items, such as (for example):

• Up to $3000 for Veterinary fees resulting from illness or injury (excluding the first $100)
• Death from illness or injury (nothing can replace your much loved puppy the insurance company will reimburse the price you paid up to $1500)
• Loss by theft of straying (if despite all endeavours your puppy is not found the insurance company will pay the price you paid up to $1500)
• Up to $400 for advertising and reward (if you puppy is lost or stolen the insurance company will cover the cost of advertising and reward up to $400)

Also, in relation to insurance, please note that some other dog breeds (including mixes of these breeds, such as groodles, goldendoodles, etc) are considered by some insurers to be 'special breeds' or 'select breeds'. And as such, require additional costs or premiums to insure them.

Some of these 'special breeds' or 'select breeds' include (for example):

• Alaskan Malamute
• Bernese Mountain Dog
• Bull Terrier
• Bull Dog (all breeds)
• Great Dane
• Golden Retriever
• Irish Wolf Hound
• Mastiff (all breeds)
• Newfoundland
• Old English Sheepdog
• Pyrenean Mountain Dog
• Shar-Pei
• St Bernard

So, the Labradoodles bred from purebred stock (in comparison to some of the mixed breeds such as groodles, goldendoodles, etc) have lower veterinary care costs and/or insurance claims.

This also highlights the need for pedigree certificates from Labradoodle breeders, for two main reasons.

Firstly, pedigree certificates should be obtained so as to provide a clear and accurate record of exactly what breeds have been mixed (eg how would you know if a Golden Retriever etc was one of the puppies ancestors?).

And secondly, pedigree certificates should also be obtained so that a copy can be provided to an insurer etc (if needed). Again, to be able to confirm what breeds have been mixed (as mentioned above). And also to be able to claim some insurance benefits, etc.

For any breeders who are unwilling or unable to provide a pedigree certificate for their puppies, it si suggested that they should be treated with caution.

Please note that the above was current at the time of publication and my change without notice.
