We are currently asking for each enquiring family to fill out the following questionnaire, this is to help us understand why you are interested in owning a TRACKLEA puppy and what type of home you will be providing. This not only helps us find out a little more about what you're looking for in a puppy but also ensures that we are sending our puppies on to loving homes. Once I have received your application and we have a confirmed litter on the way, I will give you a call and talk through the adoption process from there. We do not have many litters and unfortunately, I won't always have enough puppies for every application however, If we are not able to provide a puppy currently, we are also more than happy to add you to our waiting list to be considered for future litters.
What is considered an approved puppy home?
This is a home that we believe would make an appropriate home for our puppy. This means a home that we feel satisfied that they will provide the expected quality of care for the puppy and will ensure the puppy is provided with a safe, secure, and suitable home environment, where the puppy will be content and loved.
If you believe you are able to provide one of our puppies the very best of homes, please click on the link below to submit your application as we would love to hear from you.

The pedigrees of each of our Labradors have been extensively researched prior to breeding and we are fortunate enough to have some very sound bloodlines behind our dogs. When breeding with quality bloodlines our aim is to produce puppies that have the true Labrador temperament, are of sound structure and good health.
The cost of producing such a litter is quite costly and there are many expenses from initial health testing of parents, caring for the mother and ensuring all puppies are provided with the care and attention they need during their first 8 weeks with us. For us we do not spare any expense when it comes to our dogs and all money goes back into our future breeding program.
We do aim to keep our price in line with other Dogs Australia (ANKC) Registered Labrador breeders and have accordingly priced our puppies at $4,000 with Dogs Australia Registered Pedigrees.
Deposit for a Puppy:
Once you have been added to our approved home list and we have a puppy available for you to purchase, a $1000.00 deposit is required when the puppy reaches 3 weeks of age. The deposit holds your puppy until collection at 8 weeks old. Once the puppy is 6 weeks old and passed its health check we then require the remining balance to be paid.
Only in the event of the following circumstances will the deposit be refunded:
-If a serious health condition is found by a registered veterinarian at the puppy's 6 week health check
-If I (the breeder) believe that the approved home is no longer suitable for a puppy.
Once the balance of the puppy price is finalised, only then will the puppy be transferred to the new owner’s name and a receipt provided for its purchase.

What is a Pedigree Certificate? A pedigree is essentially a birth certificate for your dog showing the 3 generation family tree and also proved that your dog is in fact a purebred. The Australian National Kennel Council LTD (ANKC) is the only internationally recognized registry able to issue certified pedigrees for purebred dogs.
All ANKC breeders must abide by the Code of Ethics outline on the ANKC website. The ANKC issues 2 types of registration, Main Register and Limited Register. Each puppy bought from an ANKC breeder will come with its own pedigree. ANKC Certified pedigrees are also recognized pedigrees with that government and local councils.
All other registries such as the MDBA, ABR, Australian Canine registry, ICBS etc are NOT affiliated with the ANKC and CANNOT issue Certified Pedigrees. If you have doubts a breeder is registered, contact your ANKC State Office to confirm.
