How and where do you raise your puppies?
Inside our home or in one of our well trained guardian home, using Service Dog Protocols! Each of our puppies are handled with care on a daily basis. We provide the early stimulation our puppies need to ensure a loving, trainable temperament . Attached is an excellent article that explains the benefit of early stimulation. We complete both the Early Neurological stimulation as well as the Early Scent Integration training as well. https://breedingbetterdogs.com/article/early-neurological-stimulation.
Do you ship your puppies?
We are happy to have our puppies fly WITH you in-cabin from the Greenville, SC (GSP) airport, but we will not ship our puppies in cargo. We can also provide one of our own to transport the puppy for the cost of a plane ticket and a $500 service fee.
Do Doodles need to be groomed regularly?
Yes, they should be groomed every 8-10 weeks at the minimum.
Can I visit the puppies?
Our puppies are raised INSIDE our own private home. For the safety of our family, and also the health and well being of our puppies, we can't allow virtual strangers in our home. Those on the deposit list will have the option of one time visit at 6 weeks ( after the puppies have received their first round of vaccines) to pick out their puppy in person or facetime if they are unable to travel. The puppies go home at 8 weeks.
How and When do I pick up my puppy?
You choose your puppy (by zoom or facetime) when puppies are approximately 5-6 weeks old. ( Puppies go home at 8 weeks) We wait that long to have families to choose their puppies so we can see temperaments and ensure that the right puppy goes home with the right family. We also reserve the first pick of every litter for our own breeding program or service/ therapy dog prospects. We strongly encourage families to choose a puppy based on temperament, size, and coat type, not JUST color/gender, and we will speak about each puppy's personality during our facetime or zoom call.
Families will choose their puppy in the order of when we received their reservation/ $500 non refundable deposit.
How long is your wait list?
Families generally get on our waiting list about 6-12 months prior to taking home a puppy, although we do sometimes have a last minute availability. When you reserve your puppy may a little bearing on when you actually get your puppy. The more specific you are about your desires ( example, gender, coat, and or coloring) then the longer the waiting time because we might have fewer puppies meeting your criteria. Families who are more flexible will often be able to choose from a litter within a few months.
