What is the process to adopt a puppy?
If you are interested in adopting a puppy we will request a $250 deposit to hold him/her for you. We will then send you a contract to finalize the details of your adoption and we will collect the second payment of $1550 when you come to pick up your adorable puppy to take them home.

How is the health of the puppies?
All of our Double Doodle puppies start their deworming series 2 weeks after they are born and continue at 3, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. They receive their first round of shots at around 6 weeks, which includes distemper and parvo. We ask each new owner to take their new puppy to their own veterinarian within 1 week of receiving the puppy. This will ensure they have confidence in the puppy's health.
