You will first complete your puppy application. This allows us to get to know you and your home situation and what you are looking for in a puppy.
After reviewing your application, a $500 deposit will hold your place on the puppy wait list. $250 of the deposit is refundable up until puppy pick day. Once you have selected your puppy the full deposit will then become non-refundable.
Service dogs will be picked first to allow for temperament testing to ensure the puppy best suited for the job is selected. After any service dogs have been picked all remaining puppy picks are chosen in the order of deposits received.
The remaining balance will be due in full at the time of picking your puppy.
We reserve the right to refuse to sell our puppies at any point in the process if we feel concern or determine that the fit is not a good one.

You get to choose your puppy on puppy pick days when they are 6-7 weeks old! Leading up to puppy pick day we are very careful with what we expose our puppies to as they are little ones and not yet vaccinated. During this time they are much more susceptible to germs so we take every precaution to keeping them healthy and strong! They will be very loved and socialized by family members and friends who are following our safety guidelines. When you come for puppy pick day we ask that you come in freshly washed clothing that has not been worn around other animals or at parks, greenbelts, etc. prior to handling our puppies. We also have you remove your shoes and wash your hands.

Our puppies are dewormed every two weeks or as often as needed. Puppies see the veterinarian at 6 weeks old for individual exams, first round of vaccines, and microchipping before going home to you. The remaining rounds of vaccines will be the owners responsibility per veterinarian schedule.

Our puppies are born in our home in a clean whelping area. They are nursed by their mom until they are transitioned over to puppy mush and puppy food. They are exposed to all the sounds and experiences of family life. They receive ENS and ESI daily from days 3-16 as well as consistent love and affection from our family. We socialize them, introduce them to crate and potty training, water, baths, blow dryer, toys, textures, car rides, etc. We track their growth, development, nutrition, health, and socialization extremely closely. We implement many of the principles from both Puppy Culture and Badass Breeder curriculum.

When you take your puppy home you will be given a puppy care package which includes health records and list of vaccines and deworming schedule, veterinary health certificate, microchip registration information, a toy, a mama-scented crate size blanket and a packet of resources to help you best care for your pup.
We want you to be as successful as possible with transitioning your puppy to his/her new home! We are here to help guide and support you!

We highly recommend crate training your puppy from day one! You want to start puppies in a smaller crate. We purchased a crate for Millie off Amazon that was big enough for her once full-grown but that had a divider so we could make a small space for her when she was a puppy. You may choose to do this or you could also buy two different crates, one for puppy and one for later once bigger.
Goldendoodles require regular brushing and grooming to maintain beautiful coats and prevent matting of their gorgeous waves and curls.
High-quality dog food, harness, collar, leash, and plenty of chew toys will also be necessary! Once we are communicating with you we will gladly send links to all our favorite items!
We have an Amazon list that we share with our puppy families with links to all our favorites!
