How To Reserve Your Puppy

A $500 nonrefundable deposit will reserve your puppy until he/she is ready to come home. The deposit does go towards the purchase price of the puppy, the remaining balance is due before your puppy can leave. To place your deposit you can simply click the PayPal button under your puppy’s picture.

Shipping Options

Your puppy’s health and well being is our top priority. We try to make the transition from our home to yours as easy and comfortable as possible. I have a puppy nanny that can fly with your puppy. She does an excellent job, not only does she care for your puppy throughout the entire flight, she also sends you updates along the way. I also have a friend that can drive just about anywhere in the United States to deliver your puppy. If you are local we are happy to meet you at a public location to pick up your puppy. For shipping cost please contact me, it varies depending on your location.

What Is Included

All of our puppies will arrive clean and freshly groomed. Our puppies will also be up to date on vaccinations and current on deworming. Each puppy is microchipped before going home, it will be your responsibility to register it in your name (instructions will be provided). Your puppy will also have a health record book with all their information in it and a health certificate from our veterinarian. Your puppy will come with a small bag of food that they have been eating. Last but certainly not least, we know getting a new puppy is a learning experience. All puppies are different. Poodles are usually very easy to train, but if you find yourself needing some advice we are happy to help!
