Q. How do I reserve a puppy?
A. Once you have submitted an application and we have determined that KFD is a good match for you, we will send an invoice for you to submit a $500 deposit via Wave (or you may mail a check and be added to the reservations list once the check has cleared). This will reserve your spot on the list in order of deposit. Your spot will not be secured on our reservation list until your deposit has been received and cleared. We will do puppy picking once the pups have reached about 7 weeks old, then they can be matched to their family according to temperament and characteristics. While we do our best to fulfill requests for gender and color, try as we might, we cannot control Mother Nature. Matches will be made with priority given to temperament match in order of deposit.

Q. Can I come to your house to meet the parents/puppies?
A. We invite you into our home via FaceTime or Zoom. We have found that this meets the need for you to be able to "meet" our dogs in their natural environment as well as to see their surroundings while still preserving both the health of our puppies and our family's safety. While some diseases are dangerous for people, the viruses puppies can get at this age can be deadly to them, and some are nearly impossible to remove from the property once introduced. Our parent dogs are very protective when they are caring for a litter. It causes them stress when strangers are near their puppies. We do not make exceptions to this policy. The safety and well-being of your future puppy, our dogs, and our family are our highest priority. We have had unfortunate experiences as a breeder that have lead us to this decision. We appreciate your understanding.

Q. What health testing has been done on the parents?
A. All of our parent dogs have been genetically tested through Embark. They test for heritable diseases known for their breeds. They have also had all OFA certifications done. All parents have hips and elbows X-rayed and graded. Their patellas, eyes, and hearts are also all OFA certified as normal. This is the highest level of testing that can be done for their breeds. These results can be found on the OFA website by typing their names (Oliver LeRoy, Orlaigh, King Family Luna, King Family Frankie, and King Family Summit) or by clicking on any of the buttons below. Luna, Frankie, and Summit have all completed all of their health testing. We will repeat hip testing for Summit when he is 2 years old for final results, but they have been cleared with all screenings. We have been awarded "Excellent" status with Good Dog, their highest rating available. We also have achieved Gold Level status with our breed club, the Goldendoodle Association of North America.

Q. Can I see pictures of other puppies?
A. Absolutely! There are lots of puppy pictures from our last litters on our website, Instagram and Facebook page--please like and follow our pages as this is where we post most of our photos. We have had a wide variety of puppy coats. We have had some who are very curly, others who are wavy, and a few that are still wavy, but a little more straight. Our upcoming litters will have a variety from wavy to straight coats.
Luna and Murphy's puppies will all have wavy coats. They may be red, red with abstract white markings, or Parti, which is at least 50% white with red spots. We expect them to shed minimally.
Frankie and Summit will have puppies with straight or wavy coats. They will likely be in the apricot to red range, some with abstract white markings which may or may not be visible depending on the lightness of their coats. We expect them to shed very lightly if at all.
Mabel and Sven's puppies could have coat that have loose waves, more waves, or curls. They have the chance to be red, apricot, black, any of those colors with abstract white spots, or black merle. We expect them to shed minimally, but they are not suited for homes with severe dog allergies.

Q. How and when are puppies chosen?
A. We will hold a puppy-picking day when each family has a FaceTime or Zoom appointment to choose in the order deposits were made. These appointments occur when the puppies are about 7 weeks old. We find this gives them enough time to mature into their puppy personalities better than at a younger age. It can be overwhelming to choose from a whole litter of puppies! We will guide you through which puppies may be the best match for you and your family according to what you have shared are priorities.

Q. If I am lower on the reservation list, will I just get to choose from the leftover puppies?
A. We make an effort to ask each family questions about what they are looking for in a puppy. This allows us to help each family choose the right puppy who will fit perfectly into their home. We know our puppies very well by the time families select their future family member! So, even those who are later on the list will get just the right puppy for their home.

Q. What do I need to know before bringing home my Goldendoodle Puppy?
A. Goldendoodles are less likely to shed, or will shed moderately. This is great for your vacuum and tends to create fewer allergic reactions in humans! But, it also means they will need to be groomed regularly. Puppies' hair is easier to care for than adult coat. But, puppies will need to have a "face, feet, & fanny" trim starting at about 16 weeks (after their final round of vaccinations). This helps get them used to going to the groomer routinely. Then, about every 6-8 weeks, they will need another visit until about the age of 9-11 months when their adult coat comes in. Then, your Goldendoodle will need to be on your groomer's schedule about every 6 weeks. There are some very fun, creative ways to groom a doodle! Look it up on Pinterest some time...it's entertaining. In between grooming appointments, you will need to brush your dog with a slicker brush a few times each week, followed by a metal Greyhound comb down to the skin to make sure there are no matted areas. Don't slack on the brushing--Groomers have a saying, "You no brushy-brushy, I shavy-shavy."
