Our Commitment to Responsible Breeding
At English Manor Labradoodles, our breeding program is guided by responsibility, knowledge, and a deep respect for the animals in our care.
Before beginning our program more than 20 years ago, we spent extensive time researching what it truly means to breed healthy, well-balanced dogs. We studied bloodlines, conformation, genetics, nutrition, and long-term health before selecting the dogs that would become the foundation of our breeding program.
Our experience breeding and showing animals has resulted in Regional and National Championships, and that same dedication continues in the Labradoodles we raise today.
When you welcome an English Manor puppy into your home, you can feel confident that your puppy comes from thoughtfully developed lines with health and temperament as the highest priorities.
Responsible Placement
All puppies from English Manor Labradoodles are sold with a spay or neuter agreement.
This helps protect the integrity of the breed and ensures that our carefully developed bloodlines are not unintentionally used for breeding.
Puppies must be spayed or neutered by six months of age, and a certificate from a licensed veterinarian must be provided as confirmation.
Health & Veterinary Care
The purchase price of each puppy includes:
- Age-appropriate vaccinations
- Regular early veterinary care
- A one-year health guarantee
Our puppies are raised in a home environment and are handled daily, which helps them develop confidence and comfort with human interaction. All dogs used in our breeding program must pass strict health standards before being considered for breeding. These include:
- OFA health clearances
- Hip evaluations
- prcd-PRA testing
- CERF eye clearances
- Elbow evaluations
Dogs that do not meet these standards are not included in our breeding program.
Nutrition & Daily Care
Proper nutrition plays a major role in maintaining our dogs’ long-term health.
At English Manor, our dogs are fed high-quality premium foods as part of a balanced diet. We combine dry food with carefully selected raw foods and fresh vegetables such as carrots, apples, and peppers to support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption.
This balanced diet helps maintain strong immune systems and overall well-being.
Expectations for New Puppy Owners
Families who welcome an English Manor Labradoodle are expected to continue providing the same level of care and attention that each puppy receives while in our home. This includes:
- Providing healthy nutrition
- Maintaining routine veterinary care and vaccinations
- Ensuring daily exercise and physical activity
- Offering a clean, safe, and comfortable living environment
Dogs should receive consistent basic training, socialization, and daily interaction. A fenced yard or regular walks twice a day are excellent ways to keep dogs mentally and physically satisfied.
Our Lifetime Commitment
Every puppy we raise remains part of the English Manor family for life.
If a situation ever arises where an owner can no longer care for their dog, we ask that the dog be returned to us. Our priority is to ensure that none of our dogs ever end up in shelters or in unsafe situations.
We will always help find the right solution for one of our dogs.
A Promise That Lasts Beyond Puppyhood
Our Code of Ethics reflects our belief that breeding dogs carries a lifelong responsibility. From careful selection of breeding lines to supporting families long after puppies go home, every decision is guided by the well-being of the dogs we love.
At English Manor Labradoodles, that commitment never ends.
