We require a refundable deposit in order to reserve your puppy. Puppies are picked in order of deposits received. We do not require our buyers to select their puppy until they are 16 weeks old. This gives the puppies time to develop physically and emotionally.
If interested, we will be communicating via email, where you will answer a few questions in our adoption application. Once you get a confirmation email that you are approved we will provide you with a link to place your $800 deposit.
At this point, we will schedule a ‘puppy pick’ play date. (You can pick in person or over video chat, via messenger)
All families will have to pick up their puppies before the new training age bracket begins.
The remaining balance will be due before the time of pick up when your doodle is ready to go home with you.
We do offer payment plans, for details check our FAQ here.
