Are they vet-checked?

Yes. The puppies have a vet check and are up to date on immunizations. They will come with paperwork from the vet with their health check information and immunization chart.

Do they come with a health guarantee?

Once you purchase a puppy you have three weeks to take the puppy to the vet and have it checked. If your vet finds a problem, we will replace the puppy with another healthy puppy. The puppies will have already been checked by our vet and we will have the puppy's physical exam paperwork from the vet to give to you upon purchasing a puppy. 

Can I reserve a puppy?

Yes. With a non-refundable deposit of $200 you can select and hold a puppy.

What are their personalities like?

The parents are all good-natured and great with kids.  We select our dogs based on health and a family-friendly temperament.                                                                       

What are the parents like?

Nova (Goldendoodle-female) - is Easy-going, Loyal, Low-maintenance, Calm, 

Trek - Moyen (size) ( in between minature and standard) Poodle - solid, cheerful, alert, friendly

Patsy - calm, excellent mother

Tulip - faithful, curious

Tonka - alert, good buddy

The parents are great dogs.  Their personalities are friendly and cheerful. We feel that these puppies will carry on the  personalities of their parents and respond well to training.

How do we get there?

Go to MapQuest or another online directions help. We are near Rome, Pa. 

We are about 3 hours from New York City, Philadelphia, and New Jersey

What about food?

We will give you some of the puppy food they are currently eating. You choose the puppy food of your choice and mix the two for the first couple of days. The puppy should have puppy food for the first year of their life.

How do we transition the puppy into our home?

Puppies are very adaptable.  Consistency is key. We recommend Crate training. This is a great way to housebreak your puppy. The puppy will come to enjoy their new "den".  At first, puppies  will probably work  hard to convince you to take them out.  A warm water bottle to lay next to them will help. So will draping a blanket over the kennel/crate.  

 As time goes on, the puppy will get used to the new routine and come to enjoy it's crate/kennel. The best times to take the puppy out for a potty break are  1. first thing when leaving the crate   2.  15 min. after eating, and  3.  if you see it sniffing and turning in circles. 

The idea of crate training is to leave the puppy in the crate unless it is supervised until it is housebroken.

Number One piece of advice for enjoying your new puppy: Teach your dog basic commands. Come. Sit. Stay. A trained dog is an enjoyed dog. 

Things to think about when bringing your puppy home:

1. crate

2. food

3. pet bed

4. toys

5. containment fence or strategy

6. puppy gates

7.odor eliminator

Here is one I recommend - pricey but super effective

8. House training method

9.How to teach basic commands, treats 

10. Warm water bottle or plastic soda bottle to fill with warm water to put with the puppy so it sleeps better at night. A blanket over the kennel also helps with this.
