How Much Do Bernedoodles & Goldendoodles Cost in Alberta? (And What You’re Really Paying For)

“Why are Doodles so expensive?”

It’s a fair question, and one we hear often at Prairie Willow Dogs. Whether you’re searching for

“Bernedoodle price Calgary” or “Goldendoodle cost Alberta,” you’ve likely noticed a wide range in pricing.

Let’s unpack what goes into that number, and what you actually get when you work with a dog placement partner who prioritizes the health, confidence, and conditioning of your pup.

Average Doodle Pricing in Alberta

● Bernedoodles: $2,500 – $5,000

● Goldendoodles: $2,500 – $4,500

Why the range? It depends on coat type, generation, and the quality of care provided during

those critical early weeks.
