Our Puppy Adoption Process Step One- 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. Go Home Bags Items your New Puppy will Go home with. All puppies will come with their first shots, dewormed, microchipped and will be looked over by our vet before leaving. We offer a limited 1 year health guarantee.We will be sending home a care package with each of our puppies as well. This package includes: * A reusable Whimsy Doodle tote bag. * A binder with all of your paperwork, vet documents and some educational information. * Dew Claws Removed by licensed DVM *Vet exam *Vaccinations- First set. Second set will only be given to older puppies that are still with us at the time the next set is needed. Of course all shots will be given at the appropriate age. *First Heartworm chewable- One single monthly dose. *Two probiotic packets- When puppies go home it is very stressful on them. To help, we give probiotics for gut health. This also helps if you switch their food from what we feed. * Dewormed every two weeks from birth. *Food- A 2 Gallon bag of puppy food will be provided so you can slowly introduce your own food. It will be a mixture of the two foods I feed. * A fleece blanket- (pre-washed) that has been with your puppy's mom and liter mates for their scent. This helps with the initial transition to your home. *A Microchip- The paperwork to add your information to your puppy's microchip will be inside of your binder. *Two new puppy toys- A small Kong for made for a puppy and A Kong brand tough stuffed animal. (**Always observe your puppy while playing with any toy.) *Poop Bags. One full container of Poop Bags for your trip home. *A Potty Pad or two- to place your puppy on during the trip home. *Snuggle Puppy- Each puppy will have their own stuffed snuggle puppy that provides warmth and comfort while soothing your little one.These can aid you in crate training your puppy by reducing barking, whining and nervousness. Each of them includes a heart that provides a real-feel heart beat with 2 different modes. They also come with a disposable warming pack. *Treats- One package of Puppy Treats so you can begin your new puppy's training right away. They are Soft Puppy bites, Lamb & Salmon recipe, from Wellness. This is the same brand as the food I provide. *Puppy teethers- I include a couple of Yak chews that help exercise your puppy mentally as well as helping with teething.

Bringing home a new puppy. What to do and what not to do. Things to Do & to Avoid when first bringing your new Puppy Home. In order to protect your growing puppy's delicate health, there are many precautions you can and should take starting from the moment you have your puppy in your arms. As the breeder, Whimsy Doodles has been taking many of these precautions from the moment these puppies were born. Diseases such as Giardia and Parvo can be EASY to contract and hard to get rid of. These viral diseases can live on surfaces for 5-6 months . Some of these diseases can also be fatal if not treated early. Here are some things you can do to protect your puppy from these diseases: 1. Don't take the puppy out to public places such as pet stores, other stores or parks that allow dogs or put them in public grassy spots until after they have had ALL of their vaccinations. 2. Do not let people handle your puppy until 10 days after their final vaccines, usually around 16 wks.This is because people can carry these viral diseases on their clothing (and shoes). You never know if someone has had an ill pet or been in contact unknowingly with another animal who is carrying these diseases. It is also to protect you and your puppy from people who may get overly upset about being scratched or nipped by a very young puppy. 3. Do NOT buy toys from a pet store that lets dogs/puppies come in and try toys out. This is a HUGE risk of contracting Parvo. I have witnessed people allowing their dogs to lick and chew on toys and then throw them back on the shelf for someone else to buy. I always recommend washing any toy you purchase . 4. We keep our puppies on a schedule when it comes to feedings.Its recommended not to change this schedule much for the first 2 weeks. 5. Do NOT plan to pickup your puppy during a very busy time. Instead, it's highly recommended to pickup your puppy at a time when you have or can take a few days off work to let the puppy acclimate. It's important that they have someone home with them. 6. Remember that your contract requires a Vet checkup within 72 hrs after pickup. Its highly recommended to schedule this is advance of your puppy coming home. 7. The first three weeks are the hardest for your new puppy. It's very important to Remember the 3*3*3 Rules for puppies. (See Graphic below.) Just remember to give them time. Giving up and trying to rehome them (contract states Breeder is to be contacted first) is actually very scary and bad for the puppy. 8. Remember that jumping is really bad for a growing dogs joints and development. Practice the no jumping rule: no stairs, no jumping off anything including beds, decks, porches, in or out of cars for at least the year. 9. Do not let smaller children carry the puppy around or anyone that may be under the influence. So many bad things can happen with either scenario. If your child wants to hold the puppy, have them sit down to do so and stand near them at all times. This is also to protect your child. 10. Do not allow your puppy on furniture until it can get on and off the furniture on its own. A simple fall like this on the floor can do immeasurable damage. Puppy Preperation List: These are items you should purchase in advance and wash before use •10-14 inch flat collar, or appropriate size for your puppy's neck. (typically people start with a small size and move up as needed.) •6ft lead (no flexi lead leashes ever.) •15ft long line lead for training (can be found on Chewy & Amazon) •2 stainless steel puppy bowls (no elevated food bowls). Stainless Steel helps to keep white facial hair on dog's white. Its also healthier than plastic. •Training Treats (anything soft, small & healthy) •48 inch crate (no collars ever on while crated) •Puppy toys (no stuffed toys or anything they can tear apart and swallow except when supervised) • Kong brand chew toys. •Puppy Shampoo & Conditioner •Nail clippers.You can buy these online on Chewy or on Amazon. •Dog bed. Make sure to get one that is washable. •Baby gate or Indoor fencing (if needed). • Bladder Bites by Zesty Paws. (To help prevent UTI’s) Quick Vet Tips Do’s and Don’t’s: • 1st vet appointment- most often they want you to take a fresh stool sample. This is normal as your vet will want to test for parasites. • 1st vet appointment- DO NOT let your puppies feet touch the ground at the vet. The vet is a dirty place and you don’t know what potentially sick animal just walked in before your puppy who is not fully vaccinated. •Ask for either Heartguard chewables or Interceptor Plus. ***It is NOT recommended to use the all in one Heartworm, Flea/Tick/Parasite med to your puppy. This is prescribed by a vet but has killed puppies before •Do talk to your vet about the best practice for adding additional vaccinations such as Leptospirosis or Lyme disease. The most important thing, is to do the core vaccinations. (Parvo, Distemper, Adeno virus, Parainfluenza..core puppy vaccinations). •NO all-in-one pills for heartworm, intestinal parasites and flea/tick. These have sadly taken many dogs lives. Of course your puppy/dog needs all of these preventatives, however it is best to be given not in an all in one pill. Many of these all-in-one pills cause serious side effects. •There are natural repellents to help prevent or get rid of fleas and ticks, aside from medications. I highly recommend Wondercide Flea & Tick. You can purchase it on Amazon. •It is highly recommended to NOT spay/neuter your dog until they are adults. Some Vets will push for spay/neuter at 6 months of age. Simply let them know that you will not be spaying/neutering until they have reached maturity and the growth plates have closed. This is usually 12 months of age. For large breed dogs such as the Bernese Mountain Dog, this can be 18-20 months old.

These are the necessary things you will need to raise a puppy. Recommended Items for your New Puppy & Things your new Puppy will come home with. (not everything shown on this page will be sent home by us, many are just recommendations.) Top Grooming Products We Recommend And Use Ourselves. Cowboy Magic Shine In Yellow-out Purple Shampoo: This shampoo helps to brighten hair of all colors while neutralizing yellow stains. It doesn’t dry out your puppy’s skin and it smells wonderful. It truly works wonders for our white fur babies. Earthbath Oatmeal & Aloe Conditioner: This helps to detangle while relieving itching. This is great for all dogs but especially those with allergies, itching, and dry skin. It is non toxic, paraben and sulfate free, phthalate free, phosphate free, dye free, and soap free. We love the conditioner to this as well. Nootie Skin & Coat Solutions Sweet Pea & Vanilla Whitening Conditioner. This Bleach-free shampoo has the delicate fresh scent of Sweet Pea & Vanilla combined with Jojoba Oil to gently cleanse and nourish dry, stressed coats. It naturally brightens and whitens the coat while removing stains. There are NO sulfates or harsh chemicals, soap & paraben-free formula is made with all natural ingredients so you know its safe for your furry friend. The Chris Christensen Collection of Slicker Brushes: These are a line of high-quality grooming brushes designed to penetrate deep into your pet's coat to remove tangles, mats, and loose hair without causing discomfort or damage to their skin caused by impacted matting. T This brush works through dense coats all the way to the root. They work great to: detangle and remove knots in long and difficult to manage coats & to get down to the root and remove hard-to-reach undercoat. It helps to thin and separate hairs throughout the coat creating lift and volume. he collection includes various sizes, from "Baby" to “Big”. Typically this brush is available in 3 different sizes and a few different styles. You can choose the size & style that's best suited for your pet's coat type and size. It is widely used at dog shows and is highly regarded among professional dog handlers, groomers, and exhibitors. The brand is known for its high-quality grooming tools. Please make sure to use the appropriate size for the size of your dog. It’s also a good idea to have a Buttercomb on hand to aid you in working through mattes. Curly hair gets tangles EASILY! Grooming Please Understand that all Doodles will require Grooming by a professional. Since your Doodle has hair that continuously grows, it will need to be brushed several times a week to prevent mattes as much as possible, When doodles gets mattes, they become painful to their skin as it pulls and pulls the tighter it gets. Mattes can also cause all kinds of other skin conditions of not treated properly. Regular professional grooming will be needed for their lifetime starting after your puppy has had ALLLLLL of their shots (usually the is 16 weeks of age). This is NOT cheap. Most grooming start around $75 for a medium/moyen/mini sized doodle. Larger sizes cost more. The cost of grooming your doodle will also increase with the more matting it has. Other Puppy Necessities A crate: Metal sided is preferred as puppy’s can chew and scratch easily damaging the plastic ones. The crate is going to be your number one training tool! This is the safest place for your puppy when you can't be watching him and it will keep your furniture, shoes, and electronic devices out of harm’s way! We recommend something like the MidWest Puppy Play pens with a 1" grate on the bottom. These types of pens have a removable metal tray on the bottom to catch accidents and spills. This way if puppy does have an accident, they will not be stepping in their urine or feces and will stay clean. Just simply line the trays with newspaper or puppy pads. This can relieve a lot of the stress in the potty training process. Plus, you can put a bed in them for the puppy’s comfort. It doesn’t need to be any particular brand, just make sure it is safe and the right size for your puppy. You do not want your crate to be to large when they are little. When buying one that can grow with your puppy, you will want one with a moveable divider to section of space so puppy wont go and potty in another area. Puppy Play Pen: A puppy play pen (as pictured above) is nice to have to connect to the crate, so he can have some room to exercise while you are away. To do this, you simply place the Play pen surrounding the crate and leave the crate doors open. If you don't opt to buy one of these or do not have the space, then you can enrich their time away from you by giving them a frozen Kong treat. To do this, simply fill the Kong toy with some Dog safe peanut butter or Plain Greek Yogurt. Once it is full, you put the Kong it the freezer until frozen. It is recommend to do this ahead of time. Baby gates/Indoor fencing : These gates are great tools for sectioning off your home and keeping your pup in certain areas of your home! They also enable you to keep track of her when you can not watch them at every minute. A lot if times you can “kill two birds with one stone” here. The above style Playpen also serves as an indoor fence allowing you to section off an area of your home. The often are very diverse in the shape and size you need. Paper Towels: Lots of them! Accidents happen! Rags you don’t care about will also work! Just know that you will be cleaning up accidents. Puppies do not do this to make you upset. They are so small that they can NOT old their bladders for long. Think of a human baby trying to hold their bladder at 2 months of age….or even 6 months. It hard for them to learn. They will eventually get it with consistent training and patience. Pet Stain and odor remover: Nature's Miracle is a wonderful product, It is a bacteria based formula which produces enzymes to target pet stains. It works great and is tough on dog urine, feces, vomit, drool and other organic stains and odors. It has a light scent so it wont over power your nose. It is safe for use on carpets, hard floors, furniture, fabrics and more when used as directed. I now that there are many different brands on the market today. It is an ever revolving door of pet supplies. This is a good thing as you'll find that pet-specific cleaning products come in handy long after your new puppy is housebroken. Puppy’s food: We will provide your puppy with a small amount of the food we feed. I choose to feed a mixture of Canidae Real Salmon & Ancient Grains (All Life Stages) & Wellness Complete Health Large Breed Puppy food. Royal Canine is another brand I recommend. We strongly recommend feeding soaked kibble until 12 weeks old. Many choose to do it for the lifetime of the dog. If you are planning on switching puppy’s diet, please do this slowly! There are so many changes going on in your new puppy's life right now. Drastically changing his diet will cause an upset stomach and diarrhea. (This happens to all dogs at any stage of life when changing their food but especially to already stressed out puppies.) Slowly wean him off his old diet by mixing new food in with his old food in small amounts. Gradually increasing the amount of the new food. Please ONLY feed your new puppy, Puppy food specifically meant for dogs. Day 1: 75% old food, 25% new food Day 2: 70% old food, 30% new food. Day 3: 60% old food, 40% new food. Day 4: 50% old food, 50% new food. Day 5: 40% old food, 60% new food. Day 6: 25% old food, 75% new food. Day 7: 100% new food. Food and Water Bowls: Bowls are often a fun thing to pick out for your puppy. There is a lot of controversy about whether or not to have a raised dish. Current science states it is NOT recommended. However it always best to speak with your vet about this as BLOAT can be a big problem for deep chested dogs. This being said, I always recommend a weighted dish for both food and water. It often comes in handy with puppies who like to frolic in their bowl. Or who just want to knock their dishes completely over so mom and dad can play the pick up game! Poop bags: Start collecting these in advance, you are going to have lots of puppy poop to pick up. Some people like to recycle those plastic grocery bags to do this. When your puppy has finally had all of its shots, you will finally be able to go for walks. For this it is wise to get one of those poop bag containers that attach to your leash. Identification: All of our puppies will come microchipped to us. Make sure you register your puppy's microchip and the microchip ID as SOON as you get home. Although she already has it implanted, the number won't lead her back to you until you register it. The ID number is found her vet inspection document and also on a card included in the folder. The microchip company usually has a onetime, reasonable fee for this service. We don't want to risk even a moment of puppy being without some form of identification! We also recommend adding a tag to your puppy's collar with a scannable QR code or engraved contact information. Please remember to remove the collar when your pup is in her crate- it is a choking risk to leave it on. Contact a reputable trainer: I can NOT stress this enough! Please contact a reputable dog trainer and enroll your puppy into puppy classes. This will greatly enrich the bond between you and your dog. Truthfully it will help mold your dog into the wonderful family member you dreamed of having. Trust me when I say this is NEVER without a lot of hard work. It will also greatly reduce the frustration with your dog when you go with to the puppy classes because they teach you how train your puppy at home and in public. Remember training a dog is a marathon, not a sprint. Puppy safe toys: The toys that are deemed safe for dogs are always changing. Please ALWAYS watch your puppy will they are playing with anything. Kongs are by far one of the safest brands. However even a strong chewer can break these toys. *IMPORTANT* any small parts or squeakers on any toy can be chewed off and swallowed. This can not only be a choking hazard but it easily can become a BLOCKAGE in your puppies intestines. This is an emergency requiring surgery to fix IF you catch it on time. Bernedoodles and Poodles are both notorious for their infamous love of socks and underwear. Please be very vigilant about not letting your puppy/dog snatch and eat these things. This is again why I stress indoor leash training. This also helps to prevent your puppy from eating things they shouldn’t that can cause a blockage. What we send home with your New Puppy: The day your new fur baby comes home is such an exciting and memorable day. Your puppy comes with all required vet vaccinations until 8 weeks old. They all have dew claws removed. (Sometimes the dew claws do grow back. If this happens, it will be your choice to remove them during spay/neuter or leave them alone. We do not cover the cost.) We as your breeder will be sending you home with a bag filled with a few items. 1. Vaccinations & Deworming - Your puppy will come dewormed & with all vaccinations required up until the age of 8 weeks old. This will be reflected on your puppy vet record. This will show all of your puppies deworming and vaccinations received prior to going to their new homes. You will also receive a certificate of health from their vet appointment prior to going home. When you get home with your new puppy, it is now your responsibility to ensure the health of your puppy throughout the rest of its life. We require that you take your new puppy to your vet within 3 days of leaving our care & arriving to your home. 2 . Reusable Whimsy Doodle Tote Bag- All puppy items we are sending home will come in a reusable custom made bag that you can use for other things in the future. These are great bags to use when you travel or even for the grocery store. These make excellent bags for the beach! 3. A Microchip- Each puppy will go home Microchipped . This is service I provide to protect my puppies from ever ending up in a shelter. Please make sure to contact the microchip company and add your information ASAP. 4. A Blanket- Your puppy will be coming home with its very own fleece blanket. These blankets have been exposed to your puppies mom and liter for their smell. This is to help your puppy adjust when going to its new home. These blankets can be washed however I would wait at least a week or two until your puppy has adjusted without his mom and liter mates. 5. Toys- I am sending each puppy home with TWO toys. One is a small Kong meant for chewing. I use the same toy here for your puppy while growing up with mom so they will be familiar with it. The second toy is a larger toy made by the Kong brand. Please always watch your dog while they interact with any toy to make sure they are not swallowing pieces/parts they shouldn’t be. 5.Puppy Food- I send each puppy home with a small bag (a weeks worth) of the food we food feed, Cani dae Real Salmon & Ancient Grains (All Life Stages) & Wellness Complete Health Large Breed Puppy Food mixed together . This is to ensure that you can switch puppies food slowly if need be. If you are not switching puppies food to a new brand, then you can simply add what we provide to what you have a ready purchased. 6. A Binder- Your puppy will also be going home with a binder filled with lots of information about new puppies and your puppy. It will also hold a copy of your contract that you have already signed. 7.Poop Bags- 1 Bag of small bags specifically made to collect poop when in public. 8.Snuggle Puppy- * New this year.... I have decided to add a Snuggle Puppy to each Puppy bag. Each puppy will have their own stuffed snuggle puppy that provides warmth and comfort while soothing your little one.These can aid you in crate training your puppy by reducing barking, whining and nervousness. Each of them includes a heart that provides a real-feel heart beat with 2 different modes. They also come with a disposable warming pack. 9.Treats- * New this year.... I am adding in a package of puppy Treats so you can begin your new puppy's training right away. They are Soft Puppy bites, Lamb & Salmon recipe, from Wellness. This is the same brand as food I provide. * * * * * I do not provide collars, leashes or harnesses, crates, playpens or any grooming necessities. These will all be the responsibility of the new pet owner as is any future veterinary needs. It is the buys responsibility to educate themselves on the needs of puppies and how to protect them once they leave my care. What NOT to do when going home with your new puppy . Once your puppy leaves my care, the responsibility to protect this puppy falls to the new owner. We all know how exciting it can be to get a new puppy and we want to show them off to the world. However one of the worst things you can do is start exposing your puppy to a bunch of public places and new people who can carry diseases. When you leave with your puppy, it is HIGHLY recommended to never put your puppy down on grass in a public place. Lots of people take their dogs in public. Those dogs can carry diseases and unintentionally spread them. (they are protected with vaccinations themselves but can still carry them. However, it isn’t just other dogs (or animals in general) that carry & spread these diseases. People can also carry deadly diseases on their clothing, the bottom of their shoes or even hands. Instead when you take your new puppy in public, use disposable potty pads to place on the ground so they can potty if you can not wait until you get home. It's best to avoid contact with the ground at all. When going to public places, keep your puppy in a carrier on your body and DO NOT let others have contact with your puppy without proper precautions. (Clean fresh clothes that haven’t had contact with other pets/animals, shoes off and hands washed.) People in public that you do not know/trust can look with their eyes. Best practice is to leave your new puppy at home until he has had all of his vaccinations. Remember that diseases like Parvo can live on surfaces (including outdoors) for 6 months to a year.
