At Doodles and More, we have decided to incorporate a new policy regarding visiting that many of our fellow reputable breeders have implemented for the health and safety of our family pets.
We will no longer be allowing puppy visits .
All puppies are picked by picture and description, we do not show puppies to be picked in person.
For pick up we now meet families at a convenient location when needed and we do not allow visitors to our home. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes but we feel it is necessary for the health and safety of each puppy while awaiting forever homes.
Please read ALL of the following information and contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding the selection of your new mini puppy.
Disease:
Like a new baby, the opportunity for young pups to pick up infectious diseases is increased with all new contacts. Their immune systems are building, so at this time, the moms and pups live separate from all outside traffic. Most illnesses and diseases are innocently carried on people’s shoes and clothing. Entire litters of puppies can be wiped out within 48 hours by the puppy killer Parvo Virus. This disease could be picked up unknowingly by people in a school yard, a park, or on a sidewalk, and this is only one disease. We cannot risk exposing our dogs and your puppy to diseases that could destroy them.
Your puppy is not the only puppy. By protecting all of our puppies from stress and disease that could be brought on by high traffic, we are protecting your puppy.
Just think if someone who just wanted to see his or her pup happened to bring in an illness that would cause us to lose a litter and you to lose your future puppy as well.
Parvo is just one of many deadly diseases that can be unknowingly brought in by visitors.

Here is just one example of a Parvo infection at a breeding facility. I found this after just a few minutes of internet searching "Parvo infection from visitors".
Below are a few helpful links about Parvoand other diseases .
Theft:
Another reason we have decide to implement this policy is theft. We have had 3 puppies stolen from our home in past years. All of those puppies had been chosen and deposits had been made, they were expected to arrive in their new homes one week from the date of the theft. We were very fortunate and we did recover all the puppies safe and sound. However many tears were shed and countless hours were spent looking.
There was one good outcome to that terrible event. The local sheriff and city workers are now admirers and protectors on the lookout for the safty of our little doodle/poodle pack.

What you can do in the mean time:
At Doodles and More we are very dedicated to keeping good communication with all of our Doodle families during puppy selection and for years beyond. When you are placing a deposit on a new puppy we will begin an open communication with each family. I encourage every family to contact me at anytime if they have a question, concern or just want to talk doodles.
