Q. Can you guarantee that my puppy will never have health issues?

A. No breeder, regardless of experience or testing, can guarantee that a puppy will never develop a health concern. While ethical breeding and extensive health testing significantly reduce risk, they cannot eliminate it entirely. Very few things in life are 100% predictable.

My commitment is to risk reduction. I carefully select breeding dogs based on health, temperament, and pedigree. I do not breed dogs that display health or temperament concerns or have a known familial history of issues. If a dog is not contributing positively to my goal of producing healthy offspring, they are retired from my program. Breeding itself carries inherent uncertainties. Additionally, once a puppy leaves my care, many environmental factors are outside my control, including: Diet and nutrition, Vaccination decisions, Exercise and lifestyle, Exposure to medications or chemicals (including flea/tick oral treatments)

I invest substantial time, resources, and dedication into my program to give every puppy the best possible start and to stack the odds in favor of long-term health and stability.

Q: Are goldendoodles hypoallergenic?

A: “hypoallergenic” means low allergy inducing. There are absolutely allergy friendly breeds and yes, goldendoodles tend to fair well with those who suffer from allergies. It is never a guarantee though.

 

Q: Can we visit the puppies?

A:  To raise healthy puppies free from communicable diseases, that can be easily tracked in, we have to limit visitors. We post lots of videos and pictures so you can see how and where your puppy is raised. We also have references and many 5 star reviews.

 

Q: Where are your puppies raised!

A: Here, in my home. Underfoot and in laps. We do NOT have out buildings, kennels or dog runs. We have converted a fully finished dog room on the main floor of our home puppies are born, raised, and begin their curriculum work inside our home.. This ensures pups are used to daily handling of children, normal household noises and love a family brings. 

 

Q: When do we select our puppy?

A: If you are on the reservation list, and you are up for selection, we will contact you around 6 weeks of age after we conducted temperament testing. Some families even have favorites picked out by this point. We will ask you to make your selection via phone call or email after discussing temperament traits.

Q. Are the pups examined by a licensed vet?

A. Yes! I am so fortunate that my local vet comes to my home to examine each puppy and administered their first series of vaccines. The pups will also have been dewormed and have a clear fecal test.

 

Q: How can I start the process of getting a puppy!

A: Please take the time to read our website, review the pricing page, and then fill out an application.
