If you've started searching for Cavoodle puppies for sale in Australia, you've probably noticed prices vary widely - anywhere from under $2,000 to well over $4,000. So what should you actually expect to pay, and more importantly, what should that price include?

Typical Cavoodle Puppy Prices in Australia

Most ethically bred Cavoodle puppies from a health-tested breeding program in Australia sell for somewhere between $2,500 and $4,000 AUD, depending on generation (F1 or F1B), coat colour, coat rarity, litter size and the breeder's location. At Chloe's Cavoodles, our current available puppies range from $3,200 to $3,500 - you can see exact, individual pricing for each puppy on our Available Puppies page.

Why Prices Vary So Much

A lower price is not automatically a bargain. Cheaper puppies often come from breeders who skip DNA health testing, skip vet checks, or raise puppies in high-volume conditions with minimal individual socialisation. A responsibly bred puppy's price reflects genuine costs: health testing for both parents, whelping supervision, vaccinations, worming, microchipping, veterinary health checks, and months of hands-on care and socialisation before the puppy ever meets you.

What Should Be Included in the Price?

Before comparing prices between breeders, check what is actually included. At minimum, a responsible breeder's price should cover a veterinary health check, microchipping, age-appropriate C3 vaccination, a documented worming program, and a written health guarantee. See our full Pricing & Adoption Process page for exactly what's included in a Chloe's Cavoodles puppy.

Ongoing Costs to Budget For

The purchase price is only the beginning. Budget for ongoing vet care and vaccinations, quality food, grooming every 6-8 weeks, pet insurance, training, toys, bedding and a crate. Many new owners find grooming - typically $70-$120 every six to eight weeks - is the ongoing cost they most underestimate.

The Bottom Line

When comparing Cavoodle prices, look past the number and ask what stands behind it: health testing, transparency, and support after collection. Browse our currently available puppies to see exactly what's included in our pricing, or read our FAQ page for more on payments and deposits.
