Frequently Asked Questions

What breeds do you have available for adoption?

We currently have micro goldendoodles, miniature goldendoodles, medium goldendoodles, standard goldendoodles and golden retrievers available for adoption!

Where are you located?

We are located in Goshen, Indiana! We understand that this may not be right next door, but we have a couple options of how to get your little puppy over to you! Check out our Puppy Shipping page for more information on travel for your puppy.

Do the puppies come microchipped?

No, this is a common question we get asked. We believe that this is something that the owner should choose to do and make the decision on their own!

I see a puppy as “Pending”, what does this mean?

A puppy that has the word “Pending” by their name means that they are on hold for adoption! This means that the potential owner has placed a deposit down to reserve that puppy!

When will I get my puppy?

You will get your puppy when he/she is 8 weeks of age! Of course we have many puppies past that age, but we do not let our puppies go home sooner than 8 weeks old.

How does the application process work?

We will review your application, our turnaround time is generally 1-2 business days. We will then most likely contact you via text to set up a phone call interview! Our phone call interviews are to ensure that our puppies are going to the best homes. We ask that you be prepared by the end of the call to make a decision, if approved, but of course we know that can not always happen. A puppy is a big decision and we understand that, but we ask that you discuss the decision with your family prior to the phone call! This is to help ensure that you have discussed it and are not jumping into anything on a whim!

What are the next steps if I get approved?

Congrats! You’ve been approved and you’re adding your dream puppy to your family! We require a $500 nonrefundable deposit to place your puppy on hold and reserve them for adoption. We will then send you over some helpful tips as you prepare for the arrival of your precious puppy. We will discuss the transportation/pick up of your puppy. If you plan on transporting your puppy to your home, check out our Puppy Shipping page!

What form of payment do you take for reserving a puppy?

The deposit to place a puppy on hold is $500, this deposit is nonrefundable. We take PayPal, Venmo, credit/debit, Zelle, CashApp and Apple Pay as options to place your deposit on your puppy and pay the remaining balance. We will get you the information for your preferred payment option once you are approved!

Can we visit the puppies before we pick up?

Generally, yes! I have heard countless stories about how one of our Puppy Owners had their mind on one puppy going in to visit, but another plopped right into their lap and they knew that was the one! We understand how important it is to visit the puppies before you meet them. We require a deposit to be made before going and choosing a puppy. This deposit is nonrefundable but 100% transferable to any available puppy.

What can I expect on my pickup date?

On your pick up date, you will receive your puppy (obviously, ha!), puppy’s vaccination and health records, along with a blanket with the mother’s scent, a small ziploc of food your puppy is currently eating, and a little toy your puppy can take home! We are currently in the midst of creating a Puppy Packet on everything you need to know for the adoption of your puppy.

Do you offer delivery options?

We are currently offering ground and air transportation for our puppies. Check out our Puppy Shipping page for more information on how this works if you are planning to have your puppy delivered to you!

What will I need for my puppy?

We are currently in the midst of creating a “Puppy Must-Have” list! Click here to view our puppy supply checklist!

Will I receive a list of vaccinations that my puppy has received?

Yes! Your puppy will have had their 6 week check ups and will be up-to-date on their vaccinations!

Do you have a waitlist?

If you have a crazy life right now, can’t get a puppy, and want to keep an eye out for our future litters please sign up for our Puppy Waitlist located at the bottom of each breed’s page! We will send you a newsletter on our new available litter of puppies. Rather than doing a waitlist we like people to be able to reserve the exact puppy they are interested in, rather than putting a deposit down on a puppy that’s not yet born.

Do you do health testing on the parents?

Yes. We do health checks on the parents to ensure they are healthy and won’t pass any health issues down to the puppies. This is to ensure your puppy is in the best health when they go home to be apart of your family.

Is there a health guarantee?

Yes! We currently offer a 1 year health guarantee for your puppy! Click to view our Health & Genetic Warranty!

Do the puppies come potty-trained?

The puppies do not come potty trained. They are trained at a very young age to use a doggy door in order to use the restroom on the grass. We get it, training your puppy to do anything doesn’t seem very easy, but with lots of bathroom breaks and praise, your pup will be trained in no time! The average puppy can hold its bladder at 12-16 weeks.

Do the puppies come spayed/neutered?

No, it is not healthy to do so until the dog is at least 6 to 9 months.

Do you have any name ideas for my dream puppy?

Of course! If there is anything we love doing, it’s helping! Our Puppy Names page has some wonderful ideas on what to name your sweet puppy!
