The Process

How It Works

A clear, guided homecoming experience — from first look to bringing your puppy home.

A Guided Experience

Families should feel guided long before homecoming day.

Prepare for Homecoming

You leave with everything your puppy already knows.

The blanket carrying our home’s scent. The toy they’ve been sleeping with. The exact food they’ve been eating. Families don’t guess at week one — they continue what their puppy already trusts.

FAQ

Questions before applying

Sizing

Our Goldendoodles are typically Mini (approximately 20–35 lbs) or Medium (approximately 35–55 lbs). Final adult size is a thoughtful projection based on parent size, structure, and growth pattern.

Travel

Local pickup is welcome. For families further away, we coordinate meet-ups and flight nanny travel for nationwide homecomings.

Good Dog

Good Dog is the verified platform where families view our profile, read owner stories, and reserve through their protected initial commitment process.

FaceTime

Once your application is reviewed, we schedule a personal FaceTime introduction so you can meet your puppy live and ask anything before reserving.

Payment

Reservations begin with the initial commitment on Good Dog. Remaining balance options are discussed after approval. Flexible payment options may be available through approved providers.

Homecoming prep

We guide every family through food transition, crate setup, the potty routine your puppy already knows, and first-night expectations so day one feels exciting instead of overwhelming.
