FAQ
Questions.
Go-home dates, prices, the deposit, health care, and our lifetime take-back — answered plainly.
When do puppies go home?
At 8 weeks. Not a day sooner. Ginger's litter was born July 25 and goes home September 19; Lacey's was born July 29 and goes home September 23 — in person.
How much is a puppy?
Ginger's Six are $3,000; Lacey's Seven are $3,500. Every puppy in a litter is the same price — any color, any sex — because you aren't buying a coat color, you're buying how a puppy was raised. Every one of the thirteen gets the same eight weeks, the same veterinarian, the same records, and the same lifetime promise.
Why a $500 deposit?
Because our puppies go to families who have thought it through. The deposit is applied in full to your puppy's price — it isn't an extra fee — and it holds your pick in deposit order.
How do I reserve a puppy?
Apply and name your pick. After your application is approved, we send a Square invoice for the deposit. Picks are honored in deposit order, and the balance is due at hand-off.
Can we meet the puppies first?
Yes — on FaceTime. After Grace reviews your application and before any deposit, we set up a video call so you can meet your puppy and their mother. For the dogs' safety, we don't host visits at the house.
Do you ship puppies?
Pickup in Bentonville or an in-person meetup. We do not ship puppies.
What health care do they get?
A veterinary exam and first vaccinations at 6 weeks, deworming every two weeks, and a registered microchip. Full records go home with you. Embark DNA and genetic health testing is done on the parent dogs only. Individual puppies are not DNA tested; every approved family receives copies of the parents' results. Donald's Embark results are on file (Bred by Perdue Puppies, Kingfisher, Oklahoma). Ginger's and Lacey's embark DNA testing arriving this week; we share results with every approved applicant.
Are the puppies DNA tested?
No. Embark DNA and genetic health testing is done on the parent dogs only. Individual puppies are not DNA tested; every approved family receives copies of the parents' results. Ginger's public Embark profile is linked on the Parents page.
What generation are the puppies?
Mini Goldendoodles — a Mini Goldendoodle mother and a Mini Poodle father. We don't publish a generation we can't document; the parents' Embark DNA results show the actual breed mix, and we share them with every approved applicant. The puppies themselves are not DNA tested.
Are they hypoallergenic?
No dog is 100% hypoallergenic. But Grace is severely pet-sensitive, and these are the only dogs she can share a pillow with, itch-free. Ask us about a FaceTime with the dogs after your application is reviewed.
How do payments work?
Everything runs through Square — deposit and balance — so you have a card receipt and buyer protections. We will never ask for a wire transfer, Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App.
Is there a health guarantee?
Yes — a 2-year written guarantee against hereditary and genetic conditions, plus a 72-hour vet-check window after go-home. It goes home with every puppy, alongside our lifetime take-back promise in writing. The guarantee rests on Embark testing of the parent dogs; puppies are not individually DNA tested.
What happens after go-home day?
You keep our number. First-night whimpers, year-ten questions — text us and one of the three of us answers.
What if life changes down the road?
Our take-back promise is for life. If you ever can't keep your dog — for any reason, at any age — they come back to us. No questions, no fees, no judgment.
Will there be more litters?
Yes. Join the waitlist on the application and we'll email you first.
