Reserving and Purchasing a Puppy
Please discuss with your family what adding a puppy to your household will mean. Puppies bring great joy to a home, but they also require your commitment. In addition to meeting a puppy's basic needs, you must be prepared to train the puppy. We urge puppy parents to take their puppy to obedience classes or to enlist the services of a private trainer. Another excellent option is the online training program, Baxter and Bella. If you wish to subscribe to Baxter and Bella, you can use our code for a discount: WINDYHILLDOODLES. The first months the puppy is in your home and his interactions with you and your family will establish the foundation for all subsequent learning.
Once you have decided that you are ready for a puppy and that you want a "designer" Poodle-cross puppy, you are welcome to complete and submit the form on the contact page. We will respond in one to two days. If you don't hear from us, please call , text, or e-mail, as it is easy to lose track of inquiries when there are so many. Visitors are always welcome.
We accept non-refundable $300 deposits for all expected litters. Deposits secure your place on a litter's wait list and are credited toward the amount due at pickup. You are welcome to move your deposit to another litter if you do so at least six weeks in advance of the going-home date for the initial litter of choice. In that event, there may be a difference in price, depending upon the litter. The order of the selection of puppies is determined by the date deposits or transfers are made. Exceptions may be made when there are not enough puppies for those with reservations on one litter, or if, for whatever reason (gender, size, coat etc.), the puppies left to choose from are unacceptable. Those buyers have the choice of either receiving a refund or of moving their deposit to another litter of their choice. Deposits and final payments may be made via Venmo, Zelle, cash, or check.
We will send photos of puppies and provide you with periodic updates as they develop and grow. When puppies are eight weeks old, we will have a selection and pick-up day or weekend. Families will be scheduled to come in order of the deposits placed, and each family will have an hour to meet, play with and choose their puppy.
A note on Parvo, the deadly virus few puppies survive and something we maybe overemphasize, but for good reason. Until your puppy is fully vaccinated, the risk of contracting the deadly canine parvo virus can be high. Your veterinarian is the best source for assessment of risk in your area, but until you know for sure, we urge extreme caution. This means your puppy must be quarantined from any exposure to other dogs or places other dogs may have been. A healthy, vaccinated dog can still carry the virus and infect your puppy. The virus can live in the ground for 10 years. The only place 100% safe is your own home and yard. Families with resident dogs will also have to quarantine them as well, preferably at least a couple of weeks before bringing your new puppy home. At Windy Hill Doodles, by the time your puppy is old enough for adoption, it will have had two combination vaccinations that include Parvo. Two more combo vaccinations spaced two to three weeks apart are typically required before your puppy is completely protected and free to go everywhere with you.
Your puppy will have a file that includes a contract and one-year health guarantee (genetic or congenital defects), a veterinary health certificate, a vaccination and de-worming record, copies of the parent's genetic testing, and AKC or CKC papers as relevant.
