Absolutely! Our dogs live with us or a wonderful guardian family and are part of our family. They LOVE to meet new people and once you see how amazing the parents are you will want one of their babies! Personality and disposition breed through so it is very important that the parents be well balanced.

We require a $300 deposit to reserve a puppy. The easiest way to send that is via Venmo. Once the transaction is completed, we consider your puppy reserved. Due to a high demand for our puppies, deposits are non-refundable but can be applied towards a different puppy or future litter. Feel free to call, text, or email to make arrangements for a deposit.

We specialize in Goldendoodles and Golden Cavapoos. Each breed is carefully selected and health tested to ensure the best possible puppies for our families.

A Cavapoo is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle. They are known for their incredibly gentle, loving, and social nature. They bond deeply with their families and are one of the best breeds for families with children of all ages. They are typically 8–20 lbs fully grown, making them ideal for apartments and homes alike.

These terms describe the generation of a doodle breed. F1 means first generation — one purebred parent of each breed. F1B means one F1 dog bred back to a purebred Poodle, typically resulting in a curlier, more hypoallergenic coat. F1BB is an F1B bred back again to a Poodle, producing the curliest, most allergy-friendly puppies.

No dog is 100% hypoallergenic, but our Goldendoodles and Golden Cavapoos are considered low-shedding and allergy-friendly, especially the F1B and F1BB generations. Most families with mild to moderate allergies do very well with these breeds. We recommend spending time with the breed before purchasing if you have severe allergies.

All of our parent dogs undergo comprehensive genetic health testing and OFA evaluations. We use Embark DNA testing, which screens for over 250 genetic health conditions.

Puppies come with age-appropriate vaccines (typically their first round of shots), multiple dewormings at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, and a complete health record. We encourage all buyers to schedule a vet appointment within 72 hours of receiving their puppy.

We raise all of our puppies on a high-quality, small-breed puppy formula chosen for natural ingredients uses a natural approach developed by a panel of Veterinarians and Ph.D.s in Animal Nutrition.

Yes — strongly. Most policies have a waiting period before they cover anything, so enrolling before pickup day means coverage is already active for your puppy's first vet visits. When comparing carriers, look at the annual deductible, the percentage of the bill reimbursed (the best plans cover 80–90%), whether they pay out on hereditary and congenital conditions, and how quickly they process claims.

We require a completed Puppy Application, a signed Deposit Agreement (to secure your spot), and a signed Purchase Agreement before your puppy is released to you. All forms are available online through our Forms menu.

If you are unable to pick up your puppy within 7–10 days of the deposit placement (once the puppy is 8 weeks or older), a boarding fee of $45 per day applies for each additional day the puppy is kept with us.

We accept Cash, Venmo, and Cashier's Check for the balance of your puppy's purchase price. The deposit can be made via Venmo. All shipping expenses are at the buyer's expense.

If a buyer is unable to care for or chooses to rehome their puppy, Lucky Doodle Pups retains the first right to recover the puppy. The buyer must notify us immediately of any change in circumstances. The puppy may never be sold to a pet store, broker, puppy mill, or surrendered to a shelter. No refund is given if a puppy is returned.

We are big believers in starting structured training from day one. Whether you choose a local group class, a reputable online program, or a private trainer, consistency in the first 16 weeks of life pays off for the rest of your dog's life. Reach out before pickup and we'll share the trainers our families have had the best results with.

We recommend having a harness, collar and leash, food and water bowls, a crate or kennel with a divider, a bed, puppy shampoo and conditioner, a slicker brush and detangling comb, soft toys, and healthy training treats. We also suggest having probiotics and Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil on hand to support digestive and coat health during the transition.

Yes, we do offer stud services for approved dams. Please contact us directly for information about our available sires, health clearances, and stud fee details.

Yes! We love having families come visit. Once a litter is available, we will share photos, videos, and contact you with details. You can schedule a visit to meet the puppies and the parents in person before making your final selection.

After your deposit is placed, you are added to our list in the order received. When a litter becomes available, we contact families in order. You will have 8 business hours from the time you are contacted to choose your puppy or pass. Passing preserves your place in line for the next available litter.
