Puppy Pricing
We believe in complete transparency. Here's what our pricing includes and why investing in a responsibly bred puppy is worth every penny.
What's Included in Every Puppy
When you bring home a Country Lane Doodles puppy, you're getting so much more than just a dog. Every puppy comes with:
Hire Us — In-Home Training
We train your puppy one-on-one in our family home before they ever come home with you. Every puppy already has ENS, ESI, sound desensitization, crate & potty groundwork behind it.

A Few Honest Notes
Every puppy already has a head start
Before any training package begins, every Country Lane Doodles puppy has already completed ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction) from days 3–16, structured sound desensitization from day 17 through 8 weeks, potty training on a tray starting at 4 weeks, and crate introduction at 6 weeks. Every package below builds on that foundation.
What “go-home age” means
Puppies normally go home at 8 weeks. Choosing a training package keeps your puppy with us for the extra time shown, so a 3-Week package puppy comes home at about 11 weeks old instead of 8, with three additional weeks of one-on-one, in-home training.
What to expect at pickup
Every puppy graduates with genuine, age-appropriate skills — not a “finished” adult dog. Skills hold up well in calm, familiar settings and will need continued practice as your puppy meets new people, places, and distractions in your home. Occasional potty accidents are still normal at every tier; full reliability comes with your puppy's continued growth and your consistency at home.
Your handover
Every package ends with a handover conversation covering the exact words and routine we've used, so you can pick up right where we left off. Longer packages include a written guide and a longer, hands-on handover session.
Why Our Pricing Reflects Responsible Breeding
We understand that our puppies are a significant investment. Here's where your puppy price goes:
- •Comprehensive health testing for both parents ($1,500–$3,000+ per dog)
- •Premium stud service fees — quality, health-tested sires to ensure the best genetics
- •Premium nutrition for our parent dogs and puppies
- •Veterinary care — prenatal, whelping, puppy exams, vaccinations, and emergencies
- •Time and dedication — 24/7 care during whelping, daily socialization, and enrichment
- •Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming every 2 weeks until go-home day
- •Health guarantee, microchipping, and 30 days of free Trupanion pet insurance (when activated within 24 hours of go-home) — families choose whether to activate it
We breed for quality, not quantity. Our limited litters ensure every puppy receives the individual attention they deserve.
A Note From Sara on Value
Our puppies aren't budget-friendly, because we don't raise them on a budget. I want to be upfront with you — out of budget doesn't mean overpriced. The quality, the time, the intention, and the heart that go into these puppies aren't things I'm willing to bargain with.
These are living, breathing little souls — not products on a shelf. Honestly, if a puppy is unusually cheap, that's when I'd be concerned. Puppies don't end up that inexpensive without something being sacrificed along the way:
- •Less time
- •Less care
- •Less socialization
- •Less health testing
- •Less exposure
- •Less intention
Those "lesses" don't always show up right away. Sometimes they show up later — when a puppy is fearful of everything, when temperament is unstable, when they can't settle into your home, or when health issues appear that could have been prevented.
From day one, our babies are raised with intention. They're handled daily and gently exposed to real life — different sounds, grooming, car rides, new environments — all the little things that turn into big things later. They're raised right here in our home, part of our routine, under our feet.
Our health guarantee isn't just something that sounds nice — we offer it because we truly stand behind what we're producing and the work that goes into it.
You can absolutely find a cheaper puppy out there. But price alone doesn't tell the full story — in either direction. Don't just look at the price, look at the program.
- Ask to see health testing
- Ask how the puppies are raised day-to-day
- Notice whether the puppies look confident or unsure
- Trust your gut
Bringing home a puppy isn't just a purchase — it's many years of your life. Your routines, your home, your peace, your family. What you choose at the beginning, you live with later. We're a small, in-home program — not a large-scale breeder, not a puppy store — pouring into these puppies every single day. And we're so grateful for the families who see that, value that, and trust us with something so important.
Because at the end of the day, this isn't just a puppy. It's one of the best investments you can make in your family. 💕
