Need Help? FAQs

 The first step is completing our Puppy Application. This gives us an opportunity to learn about your family, lifestyle, and what you're looking for in your future companion.

Once your application has been reviewed, we'll contact you to discuss our upcoming litters, current availability, and next steps.

 The price of a Heartfelt puppy varies by litter depending on the specific pairing, size, generation, and type of Goldendoodle.

Pricing for each litter will be provided with the litter information so families know the cost before making a commitment.

Once you have selected a litter and are ready to reserve your place, a $500 deposit and signed puppy contract are required.

The $500 deposit is applied toward the total purchase price of your puppy.

We believe in being transparent throughout the process, so you'll know the total price, what's included, and what to expect before placing your deposit.

 We believe there's much more to choosing a puppy than simply choosing a color.

During the weeks our puppies are with us, we have the opportunity to watch their personalities develop. We observe their confidence, energy level, interactions with people and littermates, and individual preferences.

We'll share what we're learning about each puppy to help families make an informed decision based on both personality and lifestyle fit.

 These terms describe a puppy's generation and parentage.

F1 Goldendoodle
An F1 Goldendoodle has one Golden Retriever parent and one Poodle parent.

F1B Goldendoodle
An F1B is produced by breeding an F1 Goldendoodle to a Poodle.

Multigenerational Goldendoodle
A multigenerational Goldendoodle comes from a pairing in which Goldendoodles have been bred beyond the initial generations.

Generation alone does not guarantee a puppy's coat type, shedding level, temperament, or adult appearance. We consider the individual dogs and pairing when planning each litter.

 No dog can be guaranteed to be completely hypoallergenic.

Goldendoodles may have low-shedding coats, but coat and shedding can vary considerably between individual dogs—even within the same litter.

If someone in your household has significant dog allergies, we recommend discussing this with your medical provider before committing to a puppy.

Our puppies are raised inside our home and receive hands-on care and socialization from the beginning.

We incorporate Puppy Culture principles and Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) during appropriate developmental periods.

As puppies grow, we gradually introduce them to different sounds, surfaces, household activity, handling, people, and age-appropriate new experiences.

Our goal isn't to send home a perfectly trained puppy. Instead, we want to provide a strong foundation that families can continue building upon.

Yes. We begin introducing age-appropriate foundations for crate and potty training before our puppies go home.

Puppies are still babies when they leave us, so families should expect to continue both processes consistently at home.

Every puppy develops at a different pace, and accidents during the transition are completely normal.

 Yes. Health testing is an important part of our breeding program.

Our breeding dogs receive health and genetic testing appropriate to our program before breeding.

Health testing helps us make more informed breeding decisions, but—as with people—no breeder can guarantee that a dog will never experience a health condition during its lifetime.

Yes. Transportation options may be available for families who aren't able to pick up their puppy personally.

Contact us to discuss your location and available transportation options. Transportation arrangements and associated costs will vary depending on destination and method of travel.
