Doodle Buying Information
Our Process
Our puppies are bred with care from parents who have been health tested. When we have a planned litter in mind, we begin taking deposits on that litter. After your deposit is made, you will be placed on the list in the next available spot. We do not take deposits based on gender, but if you have a preference, we would like to know that so that we can alert others making later deposits as to the preference of people already on the list.
When the litter is bred, we update the website with the expected due date and the resulting take home date. After about 4 weeks, we will confirm the pregnancy, and the website will again be updated. If the mating does not take, we will notify people on the list, and suggest alternatives and/or offer a refund of the deposit.
After the litter is born, we will notify everyone on the list of take home dates and times, and begin posting photos and videos on our website. We also provide care and feeding information along the way so that you are ready for your puppy.
Selections are made at 6 weeks via scheduled phone calls in deposit list order. We will have videos and photos on the website to assist you with your selection.
On take-home date, we collect final payments, and provide you with your puppy and our puppy packet, which includes health records, a 2-year guarantee, collar and leash and some toys. Of course we are available to interact with you all through the process and after your puppy goes home.
Deposits
There is a $300 deposit to hold a puppy. We require a brief phone interview to make a deposit. We accept deposits on currently available puppies and on upcoming litters. Customers with deposits get priority in the selection process on a first-in first-out basis. We work with our customers to help them choose the puppy that will best fit into their family. Selections are made after the 6-week photos and videos are posted. The $300 deposit is not refundable, however it is transferable. You may choose to apply your deposit to a future litter in the event that circumstances prevent you from taking a puppy or there is not one that meets your criteria.
Make a Deposit
We accept deposit payments using a credit / debie card via PayPal. A 3% ($9.00) convenience fee will be added for payment processing. Note: You do not need a PayPal account to use this payment method. Simply follow instructions to enter your credit or debit card. We also accept Zelle and Cash App - contact us to use these payment methods.
Seller's Rights
We reserve the right to select first pick of any litter.
Breeding Rights
We do not sell our puppies with breeding rights under normal circumstances. On occassion, we do sell breeding rights to reputable breeders who we've approved, and who have disclosed their desire to breed before placing a deposit. We feel responsible for any offspring of our puppies. When choosing a breeding dog we want a specific color, temperament and conformation for any dogs that will be bred in the future.
2 Year Health Guarantee
We take great pride in our parent dog selections, and we are confident that they will produce healthy, happy puppies. All of our puppies come with a 2-year genetic health guarantee. We guarantee that your puppy will not have life-threatening, crippling, and/or disabling congenital (genetic) health defects or we'll replace your puppy free of charge. Read our 2-Year Health Guarantee.
Free Microchip
We are a strong advocate of the microchip, and each of our puppies goes home with a chip inserted. A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice, but it could mean the difference between never seeing your best friend again, or having him home by suppertime if he gets lost. The microchip is inserted with a hypodermic needle between a puppy's shoulder blades. The process is similar to a normal vaccination shot - it is not at all painful. It works something like a bar code, and is an invaluable tool in reuniting lost pets with their families. There is no fee for the chip. Your only responsibiity is to register the chip in the PetLink database. We recommend having your pets scanned regularly to be sure the chips are readable, and would emphasize that you remember to register the chip and make sure the registry information is kept up-to-date when you move or transfer ownership of your puppy.
Puppy Shipping
We don't ship our puppies via cargo because of the stress this causes them. We recommend a flight nanny, where they will fly with the puppy under their seat, and meet you at your closest airport. The fee for this service varies but is generally around $400 - $475, depending on where in the country the puppy needs to go.
