Frequently Asked Questions
- When do I get to pick out my puppy? We do puppy picks in order of when the deposits were received. If you are not local we can video call you to show you the puppies and answer any questions you have about each of them. If you are local you can come by to pick out your puppy at scheduled time.
- I know who I want and I just can't wait until pick day? Allowing pups to grow and develop their own individual personalities so that you can get a good grasp of what their temperaments are like is preferred before making formal picks. We do raise all the pups the same and they all turn out pretty great! If you are believer of love at first sight and are set on a specific pup from day 1, you can skip the $500/$800 waitlist fee/deposit and pay half the balance (nonrefundable) to guarantee your favorite pup. This can only be done if your placement on the waitlist allows for it. This system is similar to "pick of the litter," but we don't have an additional fee. Instead, we go through the waitlist one by one and contact the families ahead of you, if any. If they are not interested in the pup you want, you can skip pick day and guarantee your choice.
- Where are the puppies raised? All Peak Pups puppies are raised in our home. They are kind of a big deal here and have their own room in our home. They are born into specialized whelping areas with their moms, then they graduate to a bigger space that acts as their nursery and classroom. We love to have the puppies safe in our home and they benefit from being well socialized and exposed to common household noises.
- Do you health test your dogs? Yes. Both the mother and father are genetically and structurally health tested and clear. We follow the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) testing guidelines for the parents dogs breed. Our dogs and their puppies health are of utmost importance to us.
- Do you have a health guarantee? Yes. Your puppy comes with a 1 year health guarantee against the genetic defects that are common to this breed and were recommended to test for. Our health guarantee can be viewed here.
- Are you a big breeder? No. Peak Pups Family Raised Doodles is a small in home family breeder that focuses on quality goldendoodles, bernedoodles, and sheepadoodles.
- Do you require spay or neutering? We have a spay neuter contract that your puppy must be spayed or neutered by 12 months. We require notification/documentation proof of the spay/neuter. Failure to receive notification of spay neuter will result in a void of any health guarantees in addition to it being a breach of contract with potential fines/fees.
