Policies / Puppy Contract

  Our priority as a top Ohio breeder of Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles is to give each family the healthiest puppy possible. With puppies trying to develop their little immune systems, diseases are easily passed unknowingly to puppies by visitors. That is why we do not allow visitors until puppies are 6-8 weeks of age. We also ask that you do not bring any pets to our home when picking out your new puppy. This is for the safety of all animals. Puppies will not go to their new home until 8 weeks of age or older.

Puppy Pick

Puppy Selection starts between 6-7 weeks of age. We will go down the list, in order, of when reservations were placed and ask each family which puppy they would like to join their loving home. All families on our waiting list for a particular litter will receive private individual videos of all the available puppies from that particular litter to help narrow down your selection,  the week of our scheduled puppy selection day. You can either pick out your puppy in person, via phone/FaceTime, from provided videos or we are always happy to help you pick the best puppy for you and your loving family. 

-  Families are welcome to transfer their reservation fee to another puppy litter. When transferring to another litter or back to the master list you will be placed in the next available spot on that list. If asking to be transferred to an upcoming or future puppy waiting list seven days or less prior to your litters selection day or after, you will lose your reservation fee and be required to place a new reservation fee ($300) to be placed back on the master list in the next available spot. 

Scheduled Puppy Go Home/Pickup Day 

Puppies will be ready to go home at 8 weeks of age, no sooner.  

Puppy go home/pickup day, normally Saturday/Sunday once puppy has reached 8 weeks of age, will be by appointments only. Each family will have a 30min appointment on the announced scheduled go home/pickup day. 

-  If you are not able to make your appointment time, just let us know. If you are a NO SHOW/NO CALL you will lose your reservation fee and your puppy will be offered to the next family on our waiting list or posted to our social media as “Available”.  

-  All reserved puppies must be paid in full by original scheduled go home day. If traveling out of state by Nanny Service via ground\flight or flight per self, all puppies must be paid in full 1 week prior of travel.

 -  If requesting an extended stay either past original go home date or for a later  travel date a $25 per day boarding fee will be applied.
