Frequently Asked Questions

If you are interested in a puppy from Willow-Be Doodles, please either fill out our Puppy Interest Form or contact us via email at willowbedoodles@gmail.com. You will be asked to provide a little bit of information about yourself and what you are looking for so that we can help you find the right match. Once I receive your inquiry, I will get back to you about availability and next steps. 

We do! If you are unable to pick your puppy up from our home in Pennsylvania, we have several different options to help assist you in bringing your puppy home. There is a transportation fee and this fee will vary depending on distance and type of transport you choose. Please contact us for more information. 

For the health, safety, and privacy of our dogs and puppies, we do not offer general visits to our home prior to puppy selections. Our mama dogs are part of our family and live in our home or in a guardian home with trusted friends. Depending on timing, families may have the opportunity to meet the mom when they come for their puppy selection.  

We do not own the studs used in our breeding program; instead, we work with a fellow breeder whose males are carefully selected for our pairings. Because of this, the puppy’s father is not available to meet at our home.

We’re always happy to share photos, videos, and information about both parents so families can learn more about them before making a decision.

In order to ensure the health of our puppies and prevent the spread of communicable diseases, we do not allow visitors.  Individuals who have reserved a puppy by placing a deposit will have the opportunity for an in-person visit to choose their puppy at a mutually agreed upon date and time. We regularly share videos and pictures to provide you with the opportunity to observe your puppy's growth and witness them thriving in their environment. 

Our puppies are raised right here, in our home. We do not have outbuildings, kennels, or dog runs. Our moms live with us, underfoot and in our laps.  We've set aside a special room solely for the purpose of whelping and raising the puppies. This room is conveniently located on the main floor, ensuring that the pups become accustomed to everyday household sounds and receive ample human interaction. Our children handle them daily, providing the puppies the opportunity to be loved on by all ages. As they grow, we gradually introduce them to other areas of our home and, weather permitting, take them outside to provide additional sensory experiences.  

 Yes. The health of our dogs and puppies is incredibly important to us. Our breeding dogs are genetically health tested through Embark to screen for inherited conditions associated with their breeds. We carefully review the results for each dog and consider them when planning our pairings. Being a carrier for certain genetic conditions does not necessarily prevent a dog from being part of a breeding program; when applicable, pairings are chosen so puppies are not at risk of inheriting an affected condition.

We believe in being transparent with our families and are happy to share and discuss the genetic testing results for the parents of your puppy.

In addition to genetic testing, our puppies receive a veterinary examination before going home, along with age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a health certificate.

We offer a 6-month health guarantee that covers genetic conditions and defects. 

All puppies are dewormed, receive their first round of vaccinations, and undergo a health checkup by our veterinarian prior to going to their forever homes. A copy of our Health Guarantee and contract is available upon request. 

To reserve a puppy, a $300 non-refundable deposit is required. If circumstances prevent you from completing the process after reserving a puppy, you have the option to roll your deposit over to a future litter. If you choose not to do so, the deposit will be forfeited.

We accept PayPal, Venmo, or cash for both the deposit and the final payment.
