Paying a Reservation Fee to a stranger makes me uneasy without seeing the puppies. Are there any other options?
With the rise of puppy scammers in the world, it’s no wonder many families are hesitant to pay ANY amount of money sight unseen. We try our best to ease your fears. You’re welcome to personally add us on Facebook, we post photos and videos of our dogs and puppies frequently, will FaceTime you, and can offer many references of any sort you’d like (including Veterinarian). We want you and your family to be secure in purchasing your Trin’s Designer Doodles puppy and will not be offended if you need reassurance.
We want to ensure our puppies have the best homes and an easy transition with the rest of their littermates. For this reason, we do require a nonrefundable reservation fee at Picking time to reserve. The remainder is due at time of pickup. If the pup is being transported by ground or air, monies are due 1 Week before puppies leave our hands.
If something happens in my life, can I return my puppy to you?
Always. Anytime, for any reason, at any age as stated in our contract, they are to come back to me. We are here for our puppies every minute of their lives.
Will my puppy shed?
Probably our most asked question is whether your new puppy will shed. In short? Yes, all dogs with fur of any sort will shed to varying degrees. My Mulitgen Doodles will shed similarly to a human–when brushing some hair will fall out, and you may see fur here and there on your black leggings. However, it’s unlikely that you will vacuum or sweep and notice a significant amount of dog hair.
How big will my dog get?
Currently, I breed Mini/Medium Goldendoodles and Toy/Small Mini Aussiedoodles. When breeding crosses such as Doodles, hybrid vigor can create considerably larger dogs. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the size of our dogs, but will offer our best educated guess.
Do you guarantee coat type?
While we include color/coat genetics when DNA testing our dogs there are still factors we cannot test for yet–therefore we cannot guarantee level of shedding or coat color (in lieu of fading etc ). After many years of learning etc I can make educated guesses on colors I will produce, furnishings, coat types etc tho.
What do the generations mean? F1? F1B? Multigenerational?
Filial generations can get quite complicated and everyone has a differing opinion on the subject. The first generation Goldendoodle is a perfect 50/50 split of Golden Retriever and Standard Poodle. F1 Goldendoodles are generally larger bodied, coat type can vary greatly between puppies, and they tend to shed a bit more than later generations. Pro’s of this cross is they hold on to much of the Golden Retriever personality while adding in reduced shedding, improved health, and longer lifespans.
Multigenerational is a term frequently used when breeding different generations of Doodles. Many breeders use the term Multigen after F2 (F1 + F1 = F2), or if a Doodle of any generation is bred to another of later generation to simplify matters. I do NOT focus on breed percentages in my Goldendoodles, but I do try to keep the Golden in the line as well as produce the best, blocky head, stockier body, straight/wavy/loosely curled coat, and happy go lucky nature of the Golden Retriever.
What type of socializing will my pup be exposed to?
This is a family commitment, my Family and I with my 7 siblings spend lots of quality time with the puppies. I believe human contact and getting familiar with different smells and sounds early on in the puppies life, helps give the puppy confidence and socialization skills that will be with the puppy for the rest of it’s life. When your puppy arrives to your home he/she will have an easy transition because they’ve been very much included in our day to day activities. I often tell people this isn’t our job, it’s our life. Everything we do or don’t do revolves around the dogs and its a 24/7 responsibility.
