How Much Does a Sheepadoodle Cost? Understanding the Value Behind the Price

By /Published On: May 1, 2025/

Bringing home a Sheepadoodle is an exciting adventure, but one of the first questions many families ask is: “Why do Sheepadoodles cost so much?” At Double U Doodles, we believe in complete transparency—because when you invest in one of our puppies, you’re not just paying for a dog; you’re investing in a lifetime of health, happiness, and companionship.

So, let’s break it down. Why are well-bred Sheepadoodles priced the way they are? And what makes Double U Doodles different from breeders offering lower prices?

 

The True Cost of an Ethically Bred Sheepadoodle

When you see Sheepadoodle puppies priced between $2,000 and $6,000, it’s easy to wonder why the range varies so much. The answer lies in the level of care, training, and health guarantees that come with your puppy.

Before we even consider breeding, we invest thousands into ensuring our parent dogs are free from genetic diseases common in Sheepadoodles, such as:

Why does this matter? Because skipping these tests might mean a cheaper puppy upfront—but could lead to heartbreaking (and expensive) health issues later.

As our owner says: “If mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy!” Our breeding dogs receive:

  • Top-tier nutrition (no cheap filler kibble here)
  • Regular vet checkups, ultrasounds, and 24/7 whelping support
  • A stress-free, loving environment (because a happy mom means healthier puppies)
  • Puppies raised in cramped or unsanitary conditions (like some budget breeders) often develop behavioral and health problems—costing you far more in the long run.

 

3. Early Training & Socialization (Where the Real Work Begins)

Many breeders send puppies home at 8 weeks with minimal training. At Double U Doodles, we go above and beyond with structured programs:

Check Point 1 ( $2,000−$3,000)

  • Early socialization (starting at just 3 days old!)
  • Crate training (2-3 hours daily)
  • Potty training outside (begins at 4 weeks—no pee pads!)

Check Point 2 (+$1,500)

  • Crate-trained for 4-6 hours
  • 50% potty-trained with a “go potty” command
  • Basic obedience (sit, down, come, leave-it)

Check Point 3 (+$3,000)

  • 75% potty-trained
  • Leash manners (no pulling!)
  • Public socialization (Home Depot, parks, etc.)
  • All vaccines completed (saving you $600+ in vet trips)

Check Point 4 (+$4,500)

  • 90% potty-trained
  • Advanced obedience (even in distracting environments)
  • Already spayed/neutered (one less thing to worry about)

 

“But I’ve Seen Cheaper Sheepadoodles Online…”

It’s true—you can find Sheepadoodles for $1,000 or less. But here’s what those breeders aren’t telling you:

🚩 No health testing → Higher risk of expensive genetic diseases.

🚩 Puppies raised in garages/bathrooms → Harder to housetrain, more anxiety.

🚩 Minimal socialization → Fearful or aggressive behaviors develop later.

At Double U Doodles, we refuse to cut corners. Our pricing reflects:

  • 24/7 care from trained puppy nurses
  • Early outdoor potty training (so your puppy doesn’t think your house is a bathroom!)
  • Lifetime breeder support (we’re here for you—always)

 

Think of It as an Investment (Not Just a Purchase)

A well-bred, well-trained Sheepadoodle from Double U Doodles means:

✔ Fewer vet bills (thanks to thorough health testing)

✔ Easier training (we’ve done the hard work for you!)

✔ A happier, more confident dog (because early socialization matters)

 

As our owner puts it: “If I can’t afford to care for our moms and puppies the right way, I don’t want to do this.” And that’s why we stand behind every puppy we raise.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in the price of a Double U Doodles puppy?
Every puppy goes home with health records, genetic testing documentation, early training, and lifetime support. Higher training levels include vaccines and even spay/neuter surgery.

Why should I choose a trained puppy over an 8-week-old?
Puppies with advanced training (Check Points 2-4) transition seamlessly into your home—already crate-trained, potty-trained, and socialized. It’s worth every penny for a stress-free experience!

Do you have a waitlist?
Yes! Ethical breeders don’t have “always available” puppies. We carefully plan litters to ensure each puppy gets the attention they deserve.
