Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions page!
Prices can be found on our available puppies page under each litter. Yes, we required a NON REFUNDABLE deposit of $700 which goes towards the price of your puppy. Your spot will not be held until your deposit is received.
Your deposit will be moved to the next available litter.
After you fill out your adoption form you can message us via FB or text us at 651-621-4777 to let us know you are ready to place your deposit. We will then send you information on how to place your deposit via Venmo, Cash app, Apple Pay or Zelle. We do not except personal checks.
If you are picking up your puppy locally we ask that you pay via cash the day of pick up. If you are flying or using our flight nanny we ask that you pay your remaining balance via Venmo, Cash app or Zelle 3 business days prior to the puppy leaving.

Our puppies are whelped in our nursery. Once they turn around 4 weeks old and are ready to start weaning from mama they are then graduated to our large playroom.
We try to wait until 3-4 weeks of age to start puppy picks. We do puppy picks in order of deposits received. We take professional quality photos of each puppy and send them in deposit order. If you are local we are happy to set up an appointment with you to choose your puppy in person. For further away families we are happy to FaceTime or video chat with you to help you make your selection. We just ask that you narrow it down to 3 puppies prior to your in person appointment or FaceTime.
Unfortunately, we no longer allow visitors for a couple reasons. First, of course being due to Covid, we want to do everything possible to protect your family as well as ours. Second, we need to do everything possible to keep our puppies safe. They are very much like newborns and do not have the immunities to fight germs and infections. Parvo is our biggest scare; it can kill a puppy in less than 24 hours, and it can live on clothing and shoes. Parvo can be picked up anywhere, the pet store, the vet, another Breeder’s property or anywhere an infected animal has been. Once on a property it can take years to get rid of.
It is pretty hard to tell what a puppy’s personality will be like prior to 7-8 weeks of age. A lot of temperament and personality is developed after they go home.
Yes, we try to do pictures at 3, 5 and 7 weeks old.
Yes, we introduce the puppies to the crate around 6 weeks of age. All of our puppies are litter trained starting around 4 weeks of age. We use a combination of pine bedding and alfalfa pellets for litter training to make the transition to going potty outside easy.
Yes, actually your puppy will receive their first sets of shots prior to going home at 8 weeks old. Your puppy will also be dewormed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age. Your puppy will have a nose to tail check up with the vet at 7 weeks old.
Yes, your puppy will be microchipped at 7 weeks old. You will still have to register the microchip after brining your puppy home.
Yes, we offer a 1-year health guarantee against life threatening congenital disorders.
We have one master list for each size and breed. As we have litters born, we go down our waitlist in order of deposits received. For example, if you are #14 on our mini Sheepadoodle list it may take 2 or 3 litters before you get a puppy. So, if the first litter had 7 puppies you would move up to #7 for the second litter. If the second litter had 5 puppies, then you would move up to #2 for the third litter.
Your puppy will be able to go home at 8 weeks of age as long as we feel they are ready.
You are welcome to fly to PHX, AZA, or TUS and we can meet you there. If that is not an option, we do have a flight nanny. Flight nanny prices are $550-650. Our flight nanny will fly in cabin with your puppy right by their side. They will meet you at baggage claim to get your puppy.
