When does puppy choice take place?

Puppy choice will take place after the puppies vet clearance visit and their temperament test which happens at the 7 week mark. Puppy choice is in order of deposit and can be done virtually as well as in person. Each family will have a 45 min – 1 hour window to meet us, meet the parents, ask anymore questions and pick up their puppy.

Do you dock tails for the Standard Poodles?

Yes, we believe the aesthetics and balance of the Standard Poodle is important as this is what they were intended for. Our incredible vet does this for our puppies on their 4th day of life, as well as dew claw removal.

Do your Goldendoodles shed?

We promise low-shedding (typically only happens during coat transition times from puppy hood to adult hood) to almost non-shedding with our Goldendoodles due to proper hair furnishings with quality breeding matches.

Are your Goldendoodles Hypoallergenic?

When people have an allergy to dogs, it is typically to dog dander (not hair) and the severity is different for every individual. If you have mild pet/dog allergies, then our Goldendoodles are right for you. If you have severe pet allergies then our Poodles are probably your best option and you can style them with the teddy-bear look if the poodle face isn’t the right fit for you. If you are unsure about the severity of your allergies, we encourage trying to be around a Goldendoodle or a poodle and see how your body responds. If you have anymore questions about this, please feel free to ask us!

What kind of coat will my puppy have?

F1 Generation (50% Red Standard Poodle, 50% Golden Retriever) Goldendoodles will have a straight to wavy coat. It takes about 2 years for them to grow into their adult coat. Looking at the face and ears will show you about how wavy/or straight the coat will be. This coat is low-shedding no non-shedding. Good for people with mild allergies.

Multi-Gen Goldendoodles can have a straight coat, wavy coat, or curly coat. This will be obviously seen on each puppy before they are chosen at the 7 week window. This coat will be low to non-shedding. Good for people with mild to lowly severe allergies.

Red Standard Poodles will have a curly coat which transitions starting at 4 months old and gets curlier and curlier until they are about 2 years old. They are hypoallergenic and non-shedding, good for people with severe allergies.

Petite Cavapoos will have a shaggy to wavy coat or loose curly coat. It takes about 2 years to get their adult coat in. They are low to non-shedding and tolerable for people with mild dog allergies.

Can you deliver the puppy to me?

Yes, we can hand deliver nationwide (and worldwide) for a fee that is not included in the total price of the puppy. We DO NOT SHIP PUPPIES, we think this is inhumane. We only hand deliver personally.

If needed to deliver by plane, then we require round-trip airfare to be covered from the GSP or CLT airports, pet carry-on fee (usually $105-150), as well as a $500 flight nanny fee. We do not hire a flight nanny service, we deliver our puppies ourselves as we feel very responsible for their safe and smooth delivery.

If needed to deliver by car, and you are within a 5 hour car drive, we can hand deliver the puppy to you for a $250 delivery fee plus a $0.50 per mile round trip fuel fee. If the drive is over 5 hours, then the delivery fee is $500 plus $0.50 per mile round trip fuel fee.

I am unable to pickup my puppy on go-home day weekend, can you board my puppy for me after the 8 week mark?

Although this does not happen often, we occasionally have families that need us to board their puppy for them for an extra amount of time due to a scheduling conflict. If this is the case, then we ask for a daily boarding/training fee of $50 a day beginning two days after go home day.
