Buying & Shipping

as a Schnoodle Breeder California we have made purchasing one of our puppies an easy process.  If you see one you like, please let us know and we will be happy to help you.  If the puppy is a newborn, we require half of the purchase price of the puppy, and the final balance will be due when the puppy is 4 weeks of age.  If you select a puppy that is older than four weeks, we can work out the payment details with you over the phone.

If we are shipping/transporting the puppy to you, all shipping/transportation costs must be paid when you pay the final balance on your puppy.  Please let us know if you have any questions.  PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL COSTS FOR SHIPPING/TRANPORT MUST BE PAID IN FULL WHEN THE PUPPY BALANCE IS PAID OR WE WILL NOT RELEASE THE PUPPY.

If you are interested in getting a puppy but the timing is not right, we can initiate a Pre-Deposit contract for a future litter.  We require a non-refundable $500 pre-deposit which will be applied to the purchase price of the puppy.  Please contact us for more information if you would like to do a pre deposit.

WE ACCEPT VENMO, ZELLE OR CASH AS FORMS OF PAYMENTS.  NO PERSONAL CHECKS, CREDIT CARDS, OR MONEY ORDERS.

PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE A CASHIERS CHECK.  WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ONE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.

Shipping/Transport/Airport Drop Off.

As a Schnoodle Breeder California we have transported puppies all over the U.S. and Canada. We offer shipping or transport for those who would like to acquire one of our puppies but live far away.  We also offer transport for those who would like a puppy but are unable to drive to us and pick up the puppy.

Airplane transport is limited since we only have a few airlines that we can use for shipping.  Please inquire for further details on shipping.  We also have an option of ground transport in a private car.  Shipping/transporting is something we have done for many years; it is safe and a great way for you to get one of our precious babies.

Another option is for us to meet you at the airport with the puppy if you fly into the airports surrounding us.  You will need to let the airline know when you book your ticket that you are going to bring your puppy onboard.  The airlines only allow a few dogs on each flight so this must be done when you book your ticket.

Most airlines welcome the puppy onboard with you in an airline approved soft sided carrier that goes under the seat in front of you.  This is the least expensive way to go if you have this as an option.  It is also the easiest thing on the puppy since the puppy is with you all the way home.  Clients can use most airlines to travel with their puppy, we are limited to only a few for shipping.  We are happy to go further into details on shipping/transport. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Some clients have their way of picking up their puppy.  If you choose to fly a private plane or your own plane to pick up your puppy, please let us know so we can figure out an airport close to us for you to fly into.

WAITING TO TAKE THE PUPPY HOME.SO EXCITING THE COUNTDOWN IS ON.

We know you are excited to take your puppy home.  So much to do in preparation for your sweet baby.  The nervousness of making sure everything is ready for the puppy and all your questions are answered.  Reading the puppy guide and trying to follow it so you can make sure your puppy is comfortable in your home.  We know it is a lot and can be overwhelming, especially for those clients who have never had a puppy before.  Don’t worry, we are here for you for the life of the puppy.  Make a list of any questions or con you have so we can go over them when we talk over the phone or facetime so you can see your puppy.  We encourage our clients to print the puppy guide and highlight things that are important.  If you print it, you can put a sticky note on anything that you are unsure about or have a question about.  Again, we are always here for you and the puppy.  Our goal is to make sure that the transition from our home to yours is as smooth as possible.  We want the puppy to bring you a lot of joy and happiness.  Please never hesitate to call and ask questions, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

While you are waiting to bring your puppy home, we will be in touch with you to do facetime or messenger video for those who do not have an I Phone. Also, this is a good time to make the next vet appointment for your puppy to have their next shot. Please ask us and we can tell you what your puppy will need. Most vets’ offices are booking a ways out so double check with your vet so you can get in on time for the next thing your puppy needs. If you are on Facebook, you can join our group and share with other clients of ours that you are now part of the family. This group is a great place for you to see other puppies and possibly have a play date with them if they are in your area.

Pick up YAYYYYYY Finally

The day has come to pick up your puppy how exciting.  We recommend getting the car ready the night before so there is no stress with getting out the door on time, so you make it to us in time for your scheduled appointment.  Is the dog carrier in the car?  Do you have some paper towels, baby wipes and a plastic bag in case there are any accidents on the way home?  Do you have a spare towel or little bed for inside the carrier in case you have to change it on the way home?  Local buyers don’t need to bring food or water with them for the puppy but those who have a long ride home please bring a little food and water in case you need it.  You never know what can happen on the road so please come prepared.    PLEASE NOTE WE WILL NOT RELEASE A PUPPY WITHOUT A PROPER WAY TO TRANSPORT THE PUPPY HOME.  The passenger’s lap is not an option.  The puppy must be secured in a crate.  If it is an older puppy, you can use a harness system to uses a seatbelt in the car, or a dog car seat.  Please bring all of this with you.  If you forget anything we have Petco and PetSmart within a mile of us.  Make sure you are ready for the puppy so when you get home you can allow the puppy some down time to adjust to their new environment and their new owners.  We are always a phone call or text away if you need us for anything.
