Frequently Asked Questions

    How much do puppies cost?

 Double Doodles - $1500 - $1800

 12% HST is additional for Canadian Purchasers.

Why do male puppies cost less?

This simply reflects that female puppies will be spayed before departure at our expense and that male puppies will not be neautered in advance and must be done at owners expense by six months of age.  What you save on the puppy price you can apply towards the neuter cost later. Very occasionally (at breeder discretion only ,  not owner preference), female pups may depart unspayed, in which case they will be priced the same as males and purchasers shall sign an agreement to have their puppy spayed at their own expense by six months of age.


How much of  a deposit is required?

We request a  $500 deposit once a litter has been planned and the pregnancy is confirmed.  We prefer not to accept deposits until we know a litter is on the way and if you are looking for a puppy more than 4 months in the future we ask that you just check back closer to that time.


Are Deposits refundable?

Yes but only if we don't have a puppy born/available that is a good match for your criteria/preference.  Otherwise deposits are non refundable and indicate our commitment to hold your puppy for you and are also your promise to us that you have commited to purchasing a puppy. Your deposit can be kept on file for up to 1 year if you choose to delay your purchase until a later date. 

Can I pick out my puppy?

We used to let people choose their pups from photos or in person but found that people were picking their pups based on inappropriate criteria  such as whether it comes to them or the "sparkle" in its eyes and that the puppy they chose was often not well suited to their lifestyle or level of
experience with dogs.  For that reason, we will select your  puppy,  in  collaboration with our trainer , based on what you have told us about you lifestyle and experience with dogs as well as the personal characteristics you are looking for such as sex and color.  That way you get the physical characteristics you want and we endure the the pups temperment and personality will be a good match for your family.

We will prioritize our selections based on the date your puppy is reserved and of course your deposit is
refundable if you are unhappy with our choice, we don't have enough pups in a litter or can't supply the color
or sex you indicated a preference for when sending in your deposit.  Since most families want different things
in a puppy, there is rarely a "first pick" or "last pick" puppy no matter what your place on the list.

I don't live on Vancouver Island and can't travel to pickup, do you offer delivery?

Yes we can provide safe delivery across North America by Air, weather permitting and will often provide personal delivery by car to the lower mainland.  Prices range from $100 to the lower mainland to $275 to other major centers such Kelowna, Calgary or Regina.

I have holidays planned for the week my puppy is ready to be picked up, can you keep it longer for me?

If you are not able to pick up your puppy on the take home date then we advise waiting for another litter or getting our professional trainer to board/train your puppy. We do not personally board puppies or keep them for extra time past their take home date except for June due to the end of the school year.   Puppies that age are a tremendous amount of work to socliale and care for properly and we look forward to well earned rest periods in between litters of puppies and plan our own holidays accordingly.

If you would like to have someone else start training your puppy or you have extensive holidays plans, you may want to consider our board/train program as an alternative. Our local trainer will take your puppy for 4 weeks and begin potty training, socializing and basic training.  This program fills up quickly and early reservations are recommended, space is not guaranteed so please confirm availability before reserving your puppy if timing is an issue for you.
