Frequently Asked Questions

We do our best to make sure we communicate any upcoming litters and when they are born on our facebook page and our website. We totally understand your excitement, but please be patient as planning only gets us so far with Mother Nature as sometimes litters do not go as planned. WE will reach out to YOU when it is time for puppy picking, but in the meantime please lookout for updates on facebook and our website. 

 They are non-refundable but are litter transferable. Reservations are a sign of commitment that you want a puppy from our program and that you are willing to wait as long as necessary for one.  

We do not allow visitors into our home for puppy viewing. We understand that this may be a red flag to many people, but keeping our puppies and family safe is of the upmost importance to us. We raise all of our puppies in our home and do not have a separate building for people to visit. Puppies are not yet protected by immunizations and are more susceptible  to many diseases brought in by visitors such as parvo and canine influenza. These viruses can harm and even kill an entire litter. Keeping our Momma dogs comfortable and secure is very important to us as well. Unknown visitors can upset our Mom dogs causing them to potentially harm a puppy due to stress. We will always be happy to send photos, videos, and even facetime. Thank your for your understanding and we hope that this policy is always viewed as responsible breeding. 

Yes we do health test all of our parent dogs. They are screened for genetic diseases that could potentially pass down to puppies and do undergo OFA or PennHip exams. You can view our parents on our meet the parents page. 

Sheepadoodles and Cavapoos are hybrid dogs. 

An F1 is produced between a purebred dog (an Old English Sheepdog or a King Charles Cavalier) and a purebred Poodle. F1 is a close 50/50 split of the two original breeds. 

Next Generations add a number…F2, F3, etc. This is a cross between an F1 doodle bred to another F1 doodle. 

Adding a “B” happens when you breed a doodle back to a poodle. For example, taking an F1 doodle and breeding them to a purebred poodle would produce F1B puppies. 

There is NO guarantee to the type of coat a puppy will have or what percent of traits they will inherit from one breed.

Every person’s allergy and what triggers them is different. And every dog, even within the same litter, is different. Ultimately, you may not know for certain until the dog has been exposed to you or your family member for an extended amount of time. 

Generally, a F1b or multigen have the highest chance of being most suitable for families with allergies. Many of our dogs are happily living with non symptomatic dog allergy families!

Grooming requirements will change depending on every family's desired look. Both doodles do require daily brushing  to avoid mats. We do have a recommended products page to reference for all the grooming products that have proven to work well for us.  Finding a reputable groomer is important and introducing your puppy to their process early on will be beneficial to them and your dog. We usually recommend this process to be started around 4 months (once they are fully vaccinated). Your groomer should have a good schedule recommendation, but we always like to start out small with just a bath and a brush and work up to a full groom each visit. 

 Yes, we do have a health warranty.  Please go to our Health Warranty page and read what it entails before choosing to place a reservation. 

Yes, you can view our curriculum page to see our week to week schedule. All of our puppies are raised in our home with our 4 children and are handled daily. We feel this sets our puppies up to be successful family companions.
