Enquiry and Contact
Let's get to know each other! Drop me a line and tell me all about yourself and the kind of doodle you're dreaming of.
Whether you're reaching out through email, WhatsApp, or a message on Instagram or Facebook, I love getting to know the families who might be welcoming one of our pups into their lives. Tell me about your lifestyle, your experience with dogs, and what kind of personality you're hoping to find in your new furry friend.

Viewing a Litter
Once a litter is confirmed, you'll be the first to know! We open a waiting list, and when those adorable fluffballs arrive safe and sound, you'll get another update with details on their adorable little personalities (yes, they each have one!), colours, and sexes. Puppy viewings start at 4 weeks old, so you can come meet the whole crew, mum included! If you find your perfect match, a holding fee secures your little one's spot in your home. From there, you'll get weekly updates with pictures and videos to watch your pup grow until they're ready to join your adventures.

Vet Check
At 8 weeks, our trusted vet team at Cheviot Vets gives each puppy a thorough health check.
All the details are documented on their health certificate, which you can see when you collect your puppy.
Need the paperwork beforehand?
No problem, just let me know and I'll email it over.

Collection or Delivery Day
The big day is here! Whether you're picking up your new best friend yourself or arranging delivery, we'll make sure it's a smooth transition. You'll go home with a puppy sales agreement, an advice sheet to help you navigate those first few weeks, a receipt of sale, a starter bag of their favorite food, and a generous puppy pack filled with goodies to get the fun started with of course your new fluffy family member!

Aftercare
Our puppy journey doesn't end when you leave!
We stay in touch with every single one of our "doodle graduates." We offer WhatsApp groups for each litter, so you can connect with other families, share photos and stories, and get support from fellow doodle owners (and from me, of course!).

We're here for you every step of the way, from those first wobbly steps to a lifetime of love and tail wags. Let's make your doodle dreams a reality!

“Donna keeps in touch with you every step of the way. She sends pics and pupdates!
Bramble is a happy and healthy puppy, Donna checks in on us regularly ”
“My little Rosie has been in my life for 18 months now & she has the most amazing temperament. I really liked how Donna DNA health tests all her dogs. That put my mind at ease knowing Rosie would never inherit any genetic disorders.”
