How It Works
Intentional from the first conversation. Weekly photo and video updates, a FaceTime visit so your puppy knows your voice before homecoming, and a clear path from first look to first night at home.
Families should feel guided long before homecoming day.
From the first look to the first night at home, Kid’s Best Doodle walks families through each step with clarity, real conversation, and steady support — never a form and a silence.
“A clear process, a familiar voice, and no guessing on the first night.”

Questions before applying
- Sizing
- We raise four sizes: Petite (aka Toy) Goldendoodles at 10 to 25 lbs and under 14 inches, Mini Goldendoodles at 25 to 35 lbs and 14 to 17 inches, Medium Goldendoodles at 36 to 50 lbs and 17 to 20 inches, and Standard Goldendoodles at 50 to 70+ lbs and 20 to 24 inches. Final adult size is always a thoughtful estimate based on the parents, genetics, and how each puppy develops.
- 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.
