How to Purchase a Puppy

If you are considering purchasing a puppy from us, you have the following three options available to you:

Option #1

Purchase a puppy that is currently posted on our web site.  If we do not have puppies posted, or you are looking for a different size, sex, or color go to Option #2.

Option #2 (Email Notification List)

Send an email message to naomi@adorablepoodles.net and ask to be added to our Email Notification List.  We will notify you each time we post new puppies on our web site.  This option has advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

  • There is no commitment.

  • You can view pictures of our puppies as they become available.

Disadvantages:

  • Not all puppies are posted on our web site.  Some puppies are sold to families that are on our Waiting List.  (see Option #3)

  • We have no way of knowing how long a puppy will be available once posted.  Sometimes our puppies sell before we have a chance to send out our Email Notifications, or before you have a chance to read your Email Notification.

  • Many times there are several families that are interested in the same puppy.

Option #3 (Waiting List)

If you want a puppy that is of a specific size, sex, or color ask to be on our Waiting List.  To be on our Waiting List, we require a $250 deposit that is applied towards the purchase price of a puppy.  There are advantages and disadvantages to this option.

Advantages:

  • You receive priority.  We work with you to identify the type of puppy you want.

  • If you are considering both sexes (male & female), or you have several colors or sizes that you are interested in, one deposit, of $250, will put you on our Waiting List for all of your choices.

  • When a puppy is 8 weeks old, we will evaluate the puppy for adult size, price the puppy, and take pictures of the puppy.  Note: Larger puppies, such as "toy and miniature" poodles, can be evaluated at 6 weeks of age. 

  • After a puppy has been evaluated and we have determined that a puppy meets your specifications (size, sex, and color), we will notify you based on where you are on the Waiting List.  If we cannot reach you within 48 hours, we will have no other choice but to contact the next person on our Waiting List.

  • Once you are notified that a puppy has been evaluated and matches your specifications, we will email you pictures of the puppy.  You can choose to have the puppy held for you by making a second deposit of $250, or wait for another puppy to be born.  Final payment is not due until the puppy is picked up or shipped.

  • If you live locally, or within driving distance and want to see the puppy in person prior to making a final decision, you are welcome to come to our home.  If you are not able to come to our home when the puppy is ready to be shown and you cannot make a final decision until you see the puppy, the puppy will be offered to the next family on our Waiting List, or posted on our web site as an available puppy.  You will not lose your spot on our Waiting List, but you will need to wait until the next puppy is born.

Disadvantages:

  • Deposits are non-refundable.  This is the only way that we can ensure that we are working with a family that is serious about adding a new bundle of joy to their life.

Other:

  • Our puppies receive their first vaccine when they are 7 weeks old.  As a result, our puppies are not allowed personal visits until they are at least 8 weeks of age.  There are absolutely no exceptions - please do not ask!

  • We will not hold a puppy longer than 2 weeks past the date that they are ready to go to their new home.

  • Please do not ask us to send pictures prior to the puppy being evaluated.
