Frequently Asked Questions


How long have you been a breeder? 

We've been raising dogs since 2001.  Our puppies have gone all over the United States and to Greece.



Do you provide references? 

Yes, but only to serious prospective buyers.  We are grateful to those happy customers who have volunteered to act as references on our behalf, and do not want to over-tax them with casual inquiries. 



Do You only Breed Poodles?

No, We Mainly Breed Cockapoos.  However we occationally have a litter of  AKC Moyen Poodles or AKC Cocker spaniel Puppies. 


How big do your Poodle puppies get? 

Our puppies, when full grown, range in size from 20-50 lbs



How many litters do your mamas have each year?

Our girls normally have 1 litter a year, sometimes 2, but they always get a break .   Our Girls normally only have 4 litters in there life time and are spayed by the age of 5.   There are exceptions to this but the health of our girls is most important.



Will my new puppy get along with my cat? 

Yes!  The pups are all young enough to adapt to any new situation they are exposed to.  Depending on your cat, the new puppy may become its best friend, or your cat may stay completely aloof but accepting of the new pup after the introductory period.





If I have put down a deposit on a puppy, but do not like the choices I have when it comes my turn to choose, can I pick a puppy from the next litter? 


Yes!  All deposits are transferable.   If you do not pick a puppy from the original litter for which you put down a deposit, you can always choose from the next litter.



If I have put down a deposit on a puppy and do not want to pick up the puppy as soon as it is ready to leave its littermates at 8-10 weeks old, will you hold the puppy for us?

If you make arrangements with us ahead of time, we are willing to hold your puppy up to 2 weeks.  We charge 50.00/week to cover cost after the puppy is 10 weeks old. 



What else should I have ready to bring my new puppy home? 

We encourage crate-training.  So a crate just big enough for your puppy to lie down and stand up in comfortably is perfect.  Plus a leash & collar, food & water bowls, and Chew toys to round it



What form of payment do you accept? 

If you are putting down a deposit on a litter, we will accept either a money order, cashier check, or PayPal, which gives you the option of using a credit card.  When coming to pick up your puppy from us, we ask you bring cash or pay the full amount ahead of time using PayPal. 







Can We Come and See the puppies?


Yes, but I have some rules!!!


Due to the prevalence of and easily spread Parvovirus we are no longer accepting visitors to our home to see the puppies until they are at least 6 weeks of age and the visitor has placed a deposit on a puppy. We require you place a deposit on a puppy before visiting because many families will kennel hop when they are puppy "shopping".  I understand you may want to look for that perfect puppy before committing however I will not put my puppies at risk.    Parvo virus is transferred through the contact of fecal matter from an infected dog. It can be carried in on your clothing, shoes, hands, and even vehicle tires.  Parvo is extremely harmful and often deadly to puppies under 1 year of age whether treated or untreated.


*It would be irresponsible of us as breeders to allow people to come, and play with our puppies and possibly infect puppies that have already been sold, so when you visit my home you will only see available puppies.   All other puppies will be kept in our Nursery.    


*Children must be supervised by their parents at all times.  They must be seated when holding the puppies.  Only pups not already spoken for from the litter you are choosing from may be handled. 


*If you are purchasing a puppy as a companion for your family and a family pet, please know ahead of time if your pet gets along well with other animals.  Most dogs are kind to puppies but a few are not.  We do not allow other dogs on our property.  A "getting to know you" type of situation could result in a puppy being harmed.  In addition, we are very careful not to have any diseases brought to our home by another dog/pet. 



*Like most breeders, we do not allow visitors to tour our kennel facility or nursery, because it can be very upsetting to the adult dogs to allow a stranger into their own space, and because it is too easy to introduce germs to our kennel.  However, We are more than happy to show off our proud parents, We normally have the parents of our puppies running around the house or yard.



Visiting times:

We do not allow visits to our home before Noon, If you would like to come earlier than noon to get your puppy we will meet you in town.  We have a lot of chores and things going on in the morning and just dont have the time for puppy visits.  Thank you for respecting my wished on this. 



THERE ARE NO BATHROOM FACILITIES AVAILABLE

Please stop in town before coming to my home.
