STEPS TO GETTING YOUR GOLDENDOODLE PUPPY

---

Bringing home a Goldendoodle puppy is an exciting journey, and at Perks Court Doodles, we make the process simple, transparent, and supportive from start to finish. As a trusted Goldendoodle breeder in Ohio, our goal is to ensure every family feels confident, informed, and prepared.

COMPLETE OUR PUPPY APPLICATION

The first step is to fill out our puppy application so we can learn more about your family, lifestyle, and what you're looking for in a Goldendoodle puppy.

Once submitted, we review each application carefully to ensure a great match between our puppies and their future families.

APPLICATION APPROVAL

After reviewing your application, we will reach out to confirm approval and answer any questions you may have.

At this time if we believe we are a good fit for one another, you’ll also be invited to visit our home to meet the available puppies or join our Reservation List. Families who want a place in the selection order for a future litter or before puppies are ready to go home can join our Reservation List. 

INTERESTED IN A PUPPY WHO IS AVAILABLE NOW? 

Once our puppies are eight weeks old and ready to go home, you do not need to join the Reservation List or pay a Reservation List Fee to meet and choose an available puppy. Simply complete our Puppy Application, and we’ll contact you to arrange a visit. Payment is due when you pick up your puppy.

The $500 Reservation List Fee applies ONLY when you choose to reserve a place for a FUTURE puppy selection.

JOIN THE RESERVATION LIST TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT

How the Reservation List Works

To join the Reservation List, you will complete your Reservation List Agreement through your account on our website. You’ll find it under NEXT STEPS → CONTRACTS. You'll be asked to create a log in to access contracts.

To officially reserve your place, we require:

• A signed Reservation List Agreement
• A $500 non-refundable Reservation List Fee

Your Reservation List Fee is applied toward the total purchase price of your puppy.

Selection Order & Timing

Your place on the Reservation List is determined by the order in which Reservation List Agreements are signed and Reservation List Fees are received.

This order determines the sequence in which families will select their puppy from current or upcoming litters with available spots.

Important Reservation Details

• The $500 Reservation List Fee is non-refundable
• The only exception is if no puppy becomes available within 12 months of your payment
• In that case, you may choose a full refund or remain on the list for a future litter

________________________________________________________________

Not Ready to Join the Reservation List?

That’s perfectly okay! You are still welcome to inquire about available puppies outside the Reservation List.

Please note that Reservation List families receive first selection priority for all litters with available spots.

THE HARDEST PART… WAITING FOR YOUR PUPPY!

We know this is the most exciting (and often the most difficult) part of the journey: waiting for your Goldendoodle puppy to be ready to come home.

During this time, we stay connected with our families through regular photo updates, sweet videos, and helpful preparation tips so you can feel confident and excited as you get ready for your new puppy.

Getting to Know Each Puppy

As our puppies grow, we observe them during play, handling, everyday activities, and new experiences. We get to know their energy levels, confidence, and how they interact with people, then share those observations with families.

Your Puppy Application and our conversations help us understand what you’re looking for, so we can suggest puppies who may be a good fit for your home and lifestyle.

Our Commitment to the Right Match

We take great care in placing each Goldendoodle puppy in a home where they will thrive.

Our goal is always the same: to ensure every puppy is matched with a family where they will be loved, understood, and truly at home for life.

Here's a few things to do before the BIG day....

• Before puppy pickup day, please review  Purchase Agreement | Spay/Neuter Contract 
• Within 24 hours of pickup (before or after) sign up for a FREE MONTH of Dog Health Insurance provided through TruPanion. Call 855.266.2156 or go to Trupanion.com to sign up. For your free, no obligation coverage use code: BR1PC92021
• Pick up a crate for your puppy to sleep in. (See Puppy Guide for more information)

*Failure to activate the insurance voids our health warranty. 

🐾 Puppy Pickup Day is HERE! 🐾

Your wait is over! Today is the exciting day you get to come pick up your new family member!

You will be assigned a scheduled time slot to visit our home and meet the puppies that best match your family’s preferences and lifestyle.

During your visit, you will have up to one (1) hour to spend time with the available puppies. We will guide you through the selection process to help match your family with the puppy whose temperament and needs align best with yours, as well as what is best for the puppy.

Please be mindful of the one-hour time limit so that each family has a relaxed and unhurried experience.

A Few Helpful Tips for Your Visit

If children are coming with you, we recommend they wear long pants, as puppies can be very playful and their nails may be surprising for little ones during excited interactions.

When meeting multiple puppies at once, it can also be a very exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) experience. Puppies are active, curious, and eager for attention, so we encourage families- especially children- to take their time, stay calm, and enjoy getting to know each puppy’s unique personality.

What Your Goldendoodle Puppy Will Go Home With:

• Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming
• Veterinary health examination
• Microchip identification
• Health records and written health guarantee
• 30 days of complimentary Trupanion pet insurance
• Starter food for a smooth transition
• Welcome home bag with helpful essentials
• Lifetime breeder support

Final Payment...

We accept cash and major credit cards at pickup; we do not accept checks for final payment. The balance due is your puppy’s agreed price, minus any Reservation List Fee already paid. A 3% processing fee applies to credit card payments.

Enjoy every second with your new puppy!
