All puppies are £3000 regardless of size, gender or colour. This price is for a pet puppy only and will come with a spay / neuter agreement

If you see a planned litter you like the look of and it has availability, please either fill out an application form or send a direct email to claire@darlingdoodles.co.uk, I will then read through and send over details for a non-refundable reservation fee of £500.00 to secure your spot on that litter. I only accept 5 reservations per planned litter. A further payment of £500.00 is required once the puppies are here and you want to proceed with that litter. The final balance of £2000.00 is due when the puppies turn 6 weeks old. I do not hold places open and they come on a first come first serve basis in order of initial reservation fee received.

Yes, absolutely! I will help guide you through the process of which puppies I believe are most suitable for you and your family and I will explain as to why I don't think a certain puppy will be suitable

Your puppy will be born into a loving, warm home environment. We do not use any outside kennels.

All puppies are raised inside the home, they are exposed to every day sounds, sometimes our home is busy, sometimes it quiet but it is always calm. All my dogs have free rein of the ground floor so they can access the puppies at any time once mum is comfortable with having the dogs around her puppies. Once the puppies can start going outside, they will have the run of the garden and play with which ever dog wishes to interact with them. The puppies will be handled daily, bathed and blow-dried weekly and have lots of interaction with dogs and family members living in our home. Your puppy will leave us confident and happy and will settle into their new home fairly quickly.

All puppies will be wormed with Panacur liquid from weeks 2, 5 and 8.

Once you have chosen your puppy, I will then microchip your puppy.

All puppies will be vet checked after 7 weeks of age but before 8 weeks, this will also include vaccinations of DHPPi and Lepto 2 (we advise against Lepto 4 and using Lepto 4 will void the Healthy Guarantee) our vets use the following brands - Vanguard 7. If your vet doesn't use this brand, then your puppy will not be vaccinated and will start the course of vaccinations with you so the puppy isn't over vaccinated with different brands.

You have within 3 days of collecting your puppy to have a puppy health check with your vet (this is when you can also start your vaccinations if the puppy leaves me unvaccinated) This is done so you know you the puppy has left me happy and healthy. This is also an obligation for the Health Warranty, failure to have a puppy check with void the Warranty.

I don't not give flea treatment, I only treat my dogs as and when necessary. All puppies are sprayed with Wondercide on the day they leave which is a natural flea killer and repellant imported from the US and smells of Lemongrass.

The following products if used will void the Health Warranty - Letpo 4, Bravecto, Nexguard and Simparica - These products are known for causing serious side effects and vet records will show if these have been used

All puppies are weaned onto Raw food at around 3.5 weeks old. They we be put on Durhams Animal Feeds and we will be using their Free Flow minces.

You will receive 2 bags of feed your puppy has been having and this will last around a week, please note that the food comes frozen. If you wish to move onto kibble as its move convenient for you (but not what's best for your puppy) then you make that switch once the puppy is with you and settled, as raw feeding is naturally hydrating for your puppy, when you switch to kibble, the water intake will be huge and you will likely have to get up in the night for toileting as well as earlier in the morning due to excessive drinking.

Yes, on collection day, your insurance will kick in for 5 weeks with Agria, you will get notified by email and text message

On pick up day, all collections are done by 10am, I am happy for puppies to start leaving from 6.00am. I feel this is in the best interest of the puppy and that they will have all day to settle into their new home which is what they need.

The handover is short and sweet as we have covered all aspects of the puppy on the WhatsApp group so its just a quick 5-10 minute chat, I will have kept all puppies awake in the morning so it is vital to get back onto the road quickly so they fall asleep and make the journey home peaceful and relaxed.
