Before applying, we encourage you to explore the About Goldendoodles section of our website to learn about Goldendoodle history, coat types, generations, size options, and possible colors. You can also browse our nursery pages to view current and upcoming puppies and see what timing and options may fit your family best.

When you’re ready, complete our application to tell us about your home, your preferences, and what you’re looking for in a puppy. We consider size, color, energy level, and special roles such as therapy or service work to help match you with the best fit.

If you are interested in a future puppy, simply note that on your application. Once we receive it, we will reach out to discuss upcoming litters, timing, and help you plan for the puppy that best fits your family.

If you are interested in a specific available puppy, or in choosing from a current group, just mention that on your application. Once we receive it, we will contact you to answer questions and guide you through the next steps for reserving or adopting.

To protect the health of our young unvaccinated puppies, in-person visits begin at six weeks of age and after their first vaccination. Because their immune systems are still developing, limiting early contact helps keep them safe.

Until then, we share weekly photos and video updates so you can follow along as the puppies grow before your scheduled visit or Facetime call during selection week.

We are known for sharing weekly updates so families can follow along as their puppies grow. Each week, we post new photos, videos, and notes about what the puppies are learning directly on their nursery page.

Individual photos and temperament test results are usually posted at six to seven weeks of age, just before puppy selection. The following day, families have their scheduled visit or Facetime call to make their final choice with confidence and support.

Puppy choice takes place between six and seven weeks of age, either in person or by Facetime. During your appointment, you will interact with the available puppies in your group and have time to ask questions and discuss temperament so you can make the best choice for your family.

Please arrive or be available at your scheduled time, as each family is given a dedicated appointment window. For in-person visits, we kindly ask that you avoid kennels or shelters beforehand and do not visit if your property has had recent parvo exposure.

If you reserve from a specific color or gender group, your name is placed in choice order for that group. For example, if you are second on a list of four brown male puppies, you would choose second from the remaining three brown males.

While this is rare, if the available puppies are not the right fit, your name can be moved to another available puppy or a future litter. Our goal is for you to feel fully confident in your new family member.

Yes. Every puppy from Okefeild Acres comes with a written two-year health warranty. It covers specified genetic conditions and reflects our commitment to raising healthy, well-cared-for puppies from health-tested parents.

You can read the full details on our Health Warranty page under the What’s Included section of our website.

Before going home, your puppy will receive age-appropriate vaccinations, regular deworming, and a microchip with enrollment information. A detailed vaccination and health record will be provided so your veterinarian can continue care on schedule.

Depending on age, vaccines may include Neopar, Bordetella, 5-way parvo, rabies, and other routine care listed on your puppy’s health chart.

Our puppies begin early development through early neurological stimulation, sound conditioning, leash introduction, coming when called, no jumping on people or furniture, crate training, and ringing a potty bell.

You can find a more detailed explanation of what is included on our What’s Included section, but the goal is to give each puppy a strong foundation before going home.

Before your puppy goes home, you will receive a text with final instructions and a copy of your puppy’s health chart so you can schedule future veterinary appointments as listed.

You will also receive an invitation to set up a wholesale account through Life’s Abundance so you can order All Life Stages food and treats. Crate training and socialization continue right up to go-home day to help your puppy transition smoothly into your home.

At seven to eight weeks of age, your puppy receives a full physical exam and fecal test. If requested, spay or neuter surgery is included in the purchase price and performed at that time.

If a small umbilical hernia is present, it may be repaired during the same visit. We provide anti-inflammatory medication for comfort, and most puppies are up, eating, and playing normally by the next day.

Once your application is approved and you are ready to move forward, you may request an invoice for a $500 deposit. This secures your place on our reservation list or holds an available puppy for you.

Please note that puppies six weeks of age and older require full payment at the time of adoption.

As agreed to on the application, payments are not refundable, but they are fully transferable to another available puppy or a future litter. This gives families flexibility while also helping us responsibly plan each puppy’s placement.

Final payment is due when puppy choice has been made. A PayPal invoice will be emailed in advance of your puppy choice appointment, or you are welcome to bring cash if visiting in person.

Full payment is required to adopt a puppy older than six weeks of age.

The day before pickup, you will receive a reminder with your confirmed time. Please arrive on schedule, as other families may also have appointments that day.

At pickup, we will go over your puppy’s documents, including the vet check and vaccination chart, and review what to expect that evening. A short training review will also be provided so you understand the commands and methods your puppy has already begun learning.

We recommend transporting your puppy in a crate. Helpful training videos are also available on our website so you can continue using the same methods at home.

If your puppy is being received by ground delivery, Janet will send a text the day before to confirm the day, time, and location. Janet or Ron will stay in contact with you throughout the day of travel.

When your puppy arrives, we will review the paperwork, health information, and what to expect that evening. We recommend using a crate for transport and following the same training methods your puppy has already started learning.

For air delivery, Ron or Janet personally escorts your puppy whenever possible. If a puppy is too large to fly in cabin, we still personally escort the puppy on the same flight.

You can expect a confirmation text the day before delivery, and the person traveling with your puppy will stay in touch throughout the travel process. Meeting details are typically confirmed the day of the flight.

At delivery, we will review your puppy’s paperwork, health information, and training notes. A collapsible bowl will be provided if needed during travel.
