What is your visiting policy?

The health and safety of our puppies is our first priority. We allow limited visitation of our puppies after 6 weeks of age to those who have reserved a puppy.

Can I visit your puppies before I send the reservation fee?

Unfortunately, no- as having multiple visitors increases the risk of exposure to diseases such as Parvovirus.

How do I reserve a puppy?

Contact us! Please feel free to email call or text with any questions. Please fill out this application form. Once we receive you form, we will contact you.

The reservation fee of $500 can be made via check, cashier’s check or money order made out to Barb Martin. Please email me for our mailing address if you wish to mail a check.

The reservation fee can also be made using PayPal or Venmo. Deposits made via PayPal will include an extra $15 for PayPal’s transaction fee.

When making your deposit please reference the desired gender of preference.  Puppy selection takes place in the order in which the deposits are received.  Gulf Shore Doodles always reserves the right to retain 1st pick male & female.

Reservation fees are non-refundable. If you are not satisfied with the available puppies or if an unexpected event happens on your side or ours, we will move your reservation to another litter.

How do I make final payment?

Final Payment of $1500 is due when you pick up your puppy in the form of cash, cashier’s check or money order. Personal checks are accepted as payment up to 3 weeks prior to puppy pick-up.

Can I pick my own puppy?

Absolutely!  Puppy allocation is completed in the order in which deposits are received. When reserving a puppy – you will choose gender. When puppies are 6-7 weeks old, we will have a playdate/puppy pick time.   If you are unable to attend the puppy pick day, you can chose via live video.

*If you like us on Facebook you will have the opportunity to get to know our dogs and puppies and will have access to the most up to date information and puppy photos.

What will I receive with my new puppy?

When picking up, we will sign a sales agreement that includes a 2 year health guarantee. You will receive a Health Record with information about your puppy’s vaccination & worming history. You will also receive a sample of food the pup has been eating.

When can I pick up my puppy?

Generally, Puppies can be picked up at our home after 8 weeks / after immunizations. If for some reason you cannot pick up your puppy, we will do everything we can to accommodate the changes.

When puppies are between 8-9 weeks old, and after they have had their immunizations, we will then schedule an appointment for you to pick your puppy up. We typically do pick-ups on a Saturday or Sunday.

If you live out-of-the-area, we can have a puppy nanny deliver your puppy to your nearest airport, for an additional fee, or I can meet you at Sarasota, Tampa or Fort Myers airport with your puppy. This cannot be done on same day people are picking up puppies

Do you ship puppies and is this a safe option?

Yes, we ship anywhere in the continental United States! Shipping is additional fee dependent on the cost of the flight. The puppy spends days getting used to their shipping crate. The puppies are hand delivered to the terminal, where they are placed in a climate controlled cargo compartment. We use crates that are bigger than airline requirements for the size of the puppy. The pup can easily see out of the crate and has food, water, and a blanket.

How big will the puppies get?

Our Standard Goldendoodles are generally in the 50-65 lb range, our Mini/Medium doodles will be 30-45 lbs. Please note that specific sizes cannot be guaranteed for a grown dog.

Do your puppies shed?

It is impossible for us to 100% guarantee that our puppies won’t shed. We DNA test our dogs to produce low to non-shedding dogs.

What about allergies?

There is no “hypo-allergenic dog”. It is true that some dogs produce fewer allergens than others, but you cannot assume that any doodle across the board won’t set off allergies if you or a family member suffers from them.
