Upcoming litters & breeding schedule
We will be breeding in March & April for Spring Cockapoo litters!
Goldendoodle litter Summer '10
Joining our Waiting List
Although it is not always necessary to be on the waiting list, it is strongly encouraged in order to ensure that a puppy will
be reserved for you and for you to be able to choose from the litter before they are made available to families not on the
waiting list.
Please submit your puppy application which will include information on your puppy preference. Once your application
is approved, you can use the Waiting list deposit link located further down this page to reserve your Cockapoo puppy!
Goldendoodle deposit link is located on the Goldendoodle page.
When the babies arrive, delivery announcement will be updated on Twitter and families on our waiting list will be
notified via email.
We will contact families on the waiting list in order. You can choose to select your pup based on your preferences
through photos and information emailed to you. At that time, you can schedule a visit to meet your pup at around 5 wks
of age.
*If you are near the top of the list, meaning 1st, 2nd, 3rd pick, we expect that you know what you are looking for in a
puppy and will be able to choose based on information & photos provided. If you can not make a decision yet, we'll
continue to work down the list. You will still have the option to choose from the remaining available pups when they are
5 wks old during the first visiting weekend but you will not be guaranteed 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice. We will let you know
before visiting, which puppies are still available to choose from. It is unreasonable to expect other families to keep
waiting if you are unable to make a decision. You may opt to wait for the next litter.
We do not breed ill-tempered sires and dams. Our moms and dads are both friendly and loving. Taking into
consideration the good nature of their parents and proper training from the families that choose them, any pup you
choose has the best possible chance of being a great companion.
After the visiting week for waiting list families, all pups who are not yet chosen become available on a first come, first
serve basis to families with approved applications .
*Please see information below about our visitor policy and why we do not allow visits before 5 wks.
The Waiting List Fee is non-refundable should there be a false pregnancy, reabsorption, or you should change your mind.
The waiting list is a waiting list for any upcoming litters. If you decide for any reason that now is not a good time for
you or I do not have the color that you want etc.. you can opt to wait for the next litter.

than placing a deposit but please remember to submit a puppy application with your payment. If we do have available
pups after families on our Waiting list have chosen, they will be pictured on our Available Puppies page.

Visitor Policy
Due to the prevalence of and easily spread Parvo virus we are no longer accepting visitors to our home to see the puppies
until they are at least 5 weeks of age and the visitor has placed a deposit on a puppy. We require you place a deposit on a
puppy before visiting because many families will kennel hop when they are puppy "shopping". Parvo virus is transferred
through the contact of fecal matter from an infected dog. It can be carried in on your clothing, shoes, hands, and even
vehicle tires. Parvo is extremely harmful and often deadly to puppies under 1 year of age whether treated or untreated.
It would be irresponsible of us as breeders to allow people to come to hold and play with our puppies and possibly infect
puppies that have already been sold to the families on our waiting list. You will not be able to handle puppies that are
already sold.
*Children must be supervised by their parents at all times. They must be seated when holding the puppies. Only pups
not already spoken for from the litter you are choosing from may be handled.
*If you are purchasing a puppy as a companion for your family and a family pet, please know ahead of time if your pet
gets along well with other animals. Most dogs are kind to puppies but a few are not. We do not allow other dogs on our
property. A "getting to know you" type of situation could result in a puppy being harmed. In addition, we are very
careful not to have any diseases brought to our home by another dog/pet.
Boarding your puppy
If you can not make arrangements to pick up your puppy on puppy pick-up dates, we will board your puppy for you only
if we are available to do so. You must discuss this with us in advance. If we can not, you can opt for another litter that
suits your schedule.
We prefer that pups are picked up when the pup is ready for their new home at 8 wks. 9-12 wks of age is a critical bonding
time for pup. Your pup will also need to continue it's series of vaccinations which will be due again at 9 & 12 wks of age.
A $15 per day boarding fee is charged for the care of your puppy which is due to be paid in full when you pick up your
pup.
We will board puppies for a maximum of no more than 2 weeks only if our schedule allows.
Keep in mind that gestation is 9 wks. Pups must be 8 wks before they leave us. If you have an idea when a litter is due,
you should be able to plan well in advance for pick up. We do understand that things come up so as stated previously,
you can opt for the next litter if the timing is not suitable.
Contacting us
We prefer emails rather than phones calls as we are very busy throughout the day with our pups and dogs that we just
don't have the time to answer phones calls. I respond to emails as quickly as possible when I have a moment.
Our priority is taking care of our dogs and puppies which can be very time consuming.
The new nursery is underway! Photos below are of a work in progress.

The term "Nursery" is something you'll see quite often while searching for your future pup. For some, it's a cute term
given to a crate or outdoor kennel. By Nursery, we mean just that. Below are some photos of our puppy nursery. It's
well-equipped for expectant mom's during labor and delivery. It's where our puppies are kept safe and warm. All of
our dogs are housebroken and live with us in our home!

The floor is double-insulated! It's airconditioned in warmer whether. The downstairs is all "Winnie the Pooh".
Upstairs is a soft blue stripe with a sky painted ceiling. The puppy areas range in size from 7 x 8 to 7 x 9 1/2 feet and
they also have their own fenced yard where they can safely run and play which is approx 25' x 20'. They have toys
galore, fresh water always and are fed 4 times per day once they are weaned. The area for visitors is smaller than
what the puppies have. It was designed that way intentionally. Visitors are here for a short time but the pups live
here so they are given large areas to run, play and spend time with mom comfortably.
