GOLDEN RETRIEVERS & GOLDENDOODLES

 COVID-19 3/22/2020: It is NOT recommended to get a puppy during Quarantine!

Governor Cuomo & President Trump have set forth a shut down for NON-ESSENTIAL businesses- First off we should be limiting contact with ALL other people!!

• Puppies need a lot of socialization and veterinary care when they are young, most all Vets are ONLY accepting Emergency cases as the risk of spreading the Virus is inherent. 
• It is recommended that people remain away from other people right now so your new puppy would LOSE a lot of essential socialization time.
• A viewpoint from me as a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant all puppies NEED Socialization with other People and animals and this is NOT the time to do this!

So PLEASE DO NOT RUN OUT AND BUY A PUPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!! Wait until the quarantine is over! If you are hell bent on getting an animal think about fostering a cat or adult dog or rescuing a cat or adult dog, they will need far less than a puppy right now.I will be accepting applications but for FALL and WINTER take home and will work with all families during this crisis and going forward.

 Golden Beauties . . . Driven to Doodles, LLC is a NYS licensed breeder, we own and harbor all of our breeding dogs and puppies in our home, not a kennel and no pups or adults are in guardian homes so we know our dogs the best, which brings us a step above the rest! 

• PUPPY RESERVATION PROCESS:
  Step 1: Please fill out our application in full, all information is vital so that we can contact you and  for the puppy selection process. If a part of the application (especially demographics) is not completed we will not be reviewing your application for review.
  
  Step 2: When your application is approved an application fee of $500  is due to secure a reservation on our wait list. It is imperative to get your application fee in as the lists fill up fast! This is non-refundable unless we are no longer able to provide you with a puppy.
  Here are the convenient ways to pay your fee: Through the secure paypal link on our website or  via check; checks are to be made out to Golden Beauties Driven to Doodles LLC 100 East Ave Hilton NY 14468. 

• APPLICATION FEE AND RESERVATION FOR ADMITTANCE TO WAIT LIST:
  Puppy Application- Reservation Agreement: In the event that the litter list that your family is on does not produce enough puppies you will be moved to the next list that yields a similar outcome.  
• Your application fee and subsequent reservation is a commitment between you and Golden Beauties Driven to Doodles.  Applicants can change their option and move from Goldendoodle to Golden Retriever and vice versa understanding that they may extend the time that they will get an available puppy and the price may differ per generation/breed.
  In the event that we have to move a family to a later wait list we will always be willing to keep your puppy and begin potty and basic manners training for up to 10 weeks of age free of charge if you have vacations etc planned that do not coincide with the puppy take home of 8-9 week of age marker. 

• NO VISITATION POLICY:
  We are so excited for you to see & meet the breed that you are interested in that we will even let you meet with one of our previous puppies to demonstrate the beauty and intelligence and athleticism of our amazing dogs! 
  We post tons of photos and videos through the following sites: youtube videos, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Blogger. See the bottom of the page for links.
  
  Visitation to our dogs or the house they reside in is strictly forbidden as the health and welfare of the dogs of ours and the puppies on premises that are owned by other families is top priority. 
  We can provide references to you who will include people who have a puppy from us, we are also state licensed and inspected PD#638 which upon beginning breeding Stacy chose to opt into when it was not required.
  If participating in the board and train program visits can occur once every 4 weeks, beginning after your puppy is 8 weeks of age and has received both 2nd DAPP and 1st Influenza vaccination. In that scenario visiting is permitted at Stacy's home only, visitation is not allowed at the dogs house as again the health and welfare of the puppies and adults is top priority.
  
  Let it be known that we do not even travel to the veterinarian, they come to us so that our adults and pups are not even remotely exposed to illness. 
  
• PERFECT PUPPY SELECTION:
  The puppy selection process is done by using our temperament tests, as well as incorporating all of the specifications that applicants add to their applications and correspondence thereafter. We carefully select a puppy that fits each family and the family's needs.
  
  Here at Golden Beauties Driven to Doodles we know your puppy better than anyone therefore we have the best capacity to make an educated decision on the best possible puppy for your family. With us making the decision is why we have so many satisfied puppy families all over the USA and several other countries! When breeders allow their families to choose their puppy based on an hour visit the breeder is leaving the decision completely up to a family who only sees the puppy for a short time frame, where the breeder has the best idea of all on that puppy's temperament and coat style. We as breeders know the most about our dogs, puppies and our breed so it is best for us to work with families to choose the best puppy rather than let a family choose based on "This puppy likes me" or "It's the quiet one" because they all like everyone (they're puppies and this is a happy breed!!), they are all quiet sometimes and they are all wild at other times, you just may not see all of them when they are at their best! We as breeders see them all the time! We have successfully chosen puppies for families for years!
  *So the more information you can provide to us the easier this process will be.
  
  The wait list is used to identify which order the application-reservations are placed in. We breed the dogs based on the reservations on the wait list so we typically have enough pups for every family however sometimes a family has to wait which the wait may be 2 to 4 months or longer depending on the specifications they have. We strive to produce the perfect puppy for each family so these things take time, perfection is worth the wait!         Also note if someone has special needs and no pups in a litter will meet those needs the family will be moved to a more appropriate litter, we pride ourselves on choosing the absolute best match for each family and/or facility. You will have 48 hours to respond to the initial email/text/phone call notifying of the litters birth as to whether you are staying on the litter or not once they are born and notified of the litter. 
   
• PAYMENT POLICY:
  
  By the puppy's age of 5 weeks the payment and contract is due back to us, if your payment and paperwork is not sent back by 5 weeks of age of puppy your placement will be relinquished and you will be transferred to the next wait list. We do offer payment plans so please inquire if that is needed. In the case of a refund of the balance (minus reservation fee) we have 30 days from the request for refund to process your refund; refunds are only permitted when buyer does not accept or take a puppy from a litter; Application fees are always non-refundable because we run background checks on all applicants.

• DELIVERY OPTIONS:
  
  Puppies can go home between 8 and 9 weeks (no sooner, if later a fee will be charged). We offer personal delivery at 0.75 cents per mile from Hilton, NY to your destination and back to Hilton NY plus tolls.

• TRAINING OPTIONS:                                                                                                                                                     Stacy is a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant; actually what she did long before beginning this breeding program. Stacy offers starter training of potty, crate adjustment and basic manners which tackles jumping, mouthing etc, and basic commands, sit and down. This basic package is $100 a week from weeks 9-13; also including any vaccines besides rabies,                                                                                                                After 13 weeks of age there is an added $100 for the rabies vaccine as we have our Vet come to us to administer this to your puppy and give another full exam. Training beyond 13 weeks of age will be quoted per the needs of the family for their dog. We also take donations to help people in need with this of which 100% of the money donated goes to families and we will also throw in some extra as well, we are here to help people in the best way we can so please inquire for help, we can always find a way to raise money for your assistance!
