Please read and agree to the following by checking the boxes before moving forward. All of the boxes must be selected below for your application to be accepted.
- All puppies are $4000 plus 6% sales tax if picked up in WV.
- I understand the application fee and any other future deposits are non-refundable, but are transferable to a future litter if the need arises.
- I understand FCF cannot guarantee timing on a puppy.
- I understand FCF does not promise a certain litter until the litter arrives and your name has been reached for a puppy in that litter.
- I understand that I am getting a puppy and that no matter how well prepared and trained my puppy is, it is still a baby and I should expect my puppy to have accidents in the house and crate, to cry and bark, to nip and bite, and to require a great deal of patience and attention. I understand that these are NORMAL puppy behaviors and that I expect them to happen.
- I understand that Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, and Golden Mountain Doodles require grooming appointments every 4-6 weeks and require brushing daily/weekly depending on the length I keep the coat.
- I understand that while you provide a good start for my puppy, I need to learn how to train and maintain my dog's training and that may require the assistance of a dog trainer or behaviorist.
- I understand that FCF allocates puppies to families based on the description of "my perfect dog" below. FCF will not promise a particular puppy to a family before the official allocation takes place.
- I agree to purchase at least a 30 day supply of the food my puppy was raised on.
- There is no such thing as a "calm" puppy. Puppies by nature are high energy. It typically takes about 2 years for Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles or Golden Mountain Doodles to mellow and for their puppy energy level to go down.
Spay/Neuter Agreement*
You must check all boxes below for your application to be accepted.
- I understand that this puppy is not to be bred and is required to be spayed/neutered (unless stated in the puppy agreement I sign), and I am subject to significant fines and other damages as stated in the contract if not spayed/neutered and/or bred.
- I understand that the contract requires spay/neuter by 12 months of age, no exceptions.
Color/Coat Type Statements*
Please read and agree to the following by checking the boxes before moving forward. All of the boxes must be selected below for your application to be accepted.
- Breeding is a complex endeavor, and our first priorities will always be health and temperament, not color or other aesthetic traits.
- That said, we will, of course, do our best to match you with the puppy that best matches your preferences; however, we do not guarantee availability of superficial traits such as color or coat type and we do NOT accept applications from families with highly specific aesthetic criteria.
- Parti means that the dog is at least 50% WHITE with golden/apricot, black or chocolate patches (Please see Teddy and Linus under our parent dogs for an example). We have limited availability in parti colors.
- We cannot produce red standards (50+ lbs) at this time. Red has limited availability and applications where red is the only acceptable color will NOT be accepted.
PUPPY SOCIALIZATION*
I understand that you provide a good start for my puppy, but that I will need to continue socializing my puppy once in my care. I understand that unsocialized puppies can be scared of strange people, children, car rides, other dogs and puppies, vets, groomers, different places and environments and may be subject to behavioral issues as a result of lack of socialization.
- Yes
- No
Is everyone in your household aware you are applying for a puppy? If not, please explain.
We primarily breed Goldendoodles, but have a couple other options occasionally. What are you interested in?
If you have a specific litter in mind, please enter the parent's names below. If not, please skip this question.
Managing Puppyhood*
Puppies often have a lot of energy and can chew, dig, bark, soil the house, and cry at night. They can play roughly and scratch your skin with teeth and nails, they can get sick on floors, furniture, and in cars. Please tell us your patience level and how you might deal with the challenges of puppyhood.

Describe your ideal dog.*
PLEASE be as specific as possible. This response will be used when we allocate puppies to families. We are looking for adjectives that describe the temperament you are looking for. You can also include activities that you do on a regular basis and information on your family or home that you think would be relevant to a puppy. NOTE: There is no such thing as a "calm" puppy. Puppies by nature are high energy. It typically takes about 2 years for Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles or Golden Mountain Doodles to mellow and for their puppy energy level to go down.
Board and Train Programs*
We are pleased to announce we work with Prep Your Pup Training Academy for all of our board and train needs. Your puppy will be picked up from us by the trainer at 8 weeks of age and they will start working on crate training, potty training and basic commands. The training programs are anywhere from 2-12 weeks depending on what program you choose. Are you interested in learning more?
- Yes
- No
Will you pick up your puppy or need it shipped?*
If you are not within a reasonable drive, you will need to fly into our airport (Dulles- IAD), rent a car and pick up OR hire a flight nanny to bring your puppy to your local airport. We do NOT ship puppies in cargo.
- Pick up (6% WV sales tax applies)
- Delivered via car (Fees apply)
- Hire a flight nanny
Puppy Pick up*
Since we are set up for litters and not for individual puppies, all puppies must be picked up on the day they turn 8 weeks old. If you are using the training service, the trainer will pick up your puppy. If you are using a delivery service, the delivery will either be on the day they turn 8 weeks old or the day before.
- I will arrange my schedule to pick up on the day the litter is due to go home.

Time frame you wish to receive a puppy
Skip this question if you can accept a puppy anytime.
Upon signing my name, I agree that the $500 accompanying this completed application is an application fee and not a deposit. Therefore, it is non-refundable and will only be applied to the final balance due when I purchase a puppy. This application will not be added to the FCF waiting list without my text signature below. By entering my name in the text box below, I agree that the signature is the legal equivalent of my manual signature. $2000 will be due if you are applying for a puppy already on the ground. Please see next section.*
Once you are selected for a litter, you will be required to send a "Litter Commitment Fee" of $2000. This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, but is applied towards the final balance of your puppy. We feel it's essential to make sure our puppies go home on time and are able to bond with their families and enjoy the remainder of their socialization period in their loving homes. Having families that switch from one litter to another litter means a puppy may not find it's permanent home by the time the rest of their littermates go home. In the interest of ensuring as much stability for our puppies as possible, we have a litter commitment fee due when you commit to a specific litter to help us ensure families are committed to taking home their puppy. Upon signing your name, you agree to the terms of the "Litter Commitment Fee".*
