StepOne- Application

Interested in one of our Whimsy Doodle puppies? First fill out and submit our puppy application. You can find the application in the menu tab under Application. Once that is done, we will email or message you within 1-2 business days. Make sure to include which puppy you have an interest in. Please understand that any puppy shown as available may be in the process of being reserved. We sell our puppies to approved families on a first come basis. Once we begin a waitlist for a litter, puppies picks will be done at 5 weeks in the order deposits are received. We as a breeder reserve the right to reserve our pick of the litter first. 

Please contact us so we can help determine which puppy would be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. Sometimes the look you are after doesn't carry the temperament you may be searching for.    

Step Two- Deposit 

Once your application has been approved, you have communicated with us and we have agreed upon which puppy is right for your family and lifestyle, then it is time to place your Non-refundable deposit in order to reserve the puppy agreed upon. This deposit is to secure us holding the puppy until 8-9 weeks of age when it can go home. A Deposit Contract must be filled out, signed and returned to us With your deposit in order for us to accept it. As soon as we receive both the deposit contract and deposit, we then mark the puppy as reserved on all platforms and will not show that puppy to other potential buyers. 

​

Step Three- Health Contract

When we receive your deposit, we will email or message you the deposit contract to sign along with the Health Contract. This is the contract for the sale of the puppy and includes the health guarantee. This contract Must be completed, signed & returned to us before puppy can go home.

 Step Four- Preparing for Puppy

This exciting time will go much quicker than expected. While you are waiting for the special day to arrive, we will continue to send photos and sometimes videos once weekly until go home day!

We suggest setting up your puppy's new living area before go home day. We recommend a wire crate with a puppy pen around it. 

Each family will go home with a 2 Gallon bag of the mixed puppy food that we feed. We feed a mixture of Canidae All Life Stages Salmon & Ancient Grains and Wellness Complete Health Large Breed Puppy Food Chicken & Whitefish. 

After all of the contracts have been signed, we will arrange a pick up date for you to pick up your puppy. We send each puppy home with a large tote filled with goodies. Please see the Puppy Go Home Bags section below for a list of items. Each Puppy will be given a separate pick up so that We can go over everything with the new family.

During this waiting period, it is wise to contact your vet and set up an appointment for your puppy to be seen within the first few days of bringing him/her home. We bring all puppies to the vet prior to leaving us. They will go home with their first vaccinations and a health certificate stating they are healthy while with us.

Often times puppy training programs fills up fast. We recommend contacting them as soon as you know your go home date to get your puppy in at the right age. (waiting until your puppy has had at least 2 vaccinations is sometimes acceptable to training facilities). We always suggest waiting until vaccinations are complete at 16 weeks for safety.

Step Five- Paying​

All Puppies must be paid for in FULL before going home. We will NOT release any puppy that hasn't been paid for. There will be no exceptions to this. If boarding fees have been added to the total of your puppy, they must be paid in full before puppy can go home. Payments can be made via Zelle, Good Dog or paid in Cash if agreed upon up front. We do not accept payments for puppies with Venmo, Cash app or PayPal. 

Step Six- Pick Up Day

As mentioned above, each family will be given a separate pick up day & time. If a family needs to pick up their puppy after the initial Go Home day, then a $30 per day boarding fee will be added to their total. This fee must be paid in full before pick up.

When the day comes to pick up your puppy, we recommend that you are prepared with the following items;

*A small crate for your car or under seat travel crate for flights.

*A Towel for puppy in case of vomiting or accidents. Baby wipes are also handy to have for clean ups. 

*Travel bowls for food and water. 

* A bottle of water.

*A harness and leash.

*A small blanket, bed/crate pad for the crate.

*Puppy Pads for the crate and to place on the ground for potty breaks when traveling home.

Please remember that puppies enter a strong fear period during week 8-9. Leaving the breeder, their mom and siblings can be very stressful as is. So bringing a puppy home during this time needs to be done delicately. We strongly recommend that 1-2 people pick up the puppy to bring home. Having a loud group or loud rambunctious children during that initial time can overly stress the puppy out. This can cause a reaction that can live with the puppy forever. It is best to keep the first few days as calm as possible for your new puppy.
