How do I reserve a puppy? What's next? 

 

To make it clear, here are the steps to welcoming a Piccolo’s Poodle into your home if you’d like to move forward: 
 

  1. Complete our puppy application at https://www.piccolospoodles.com/contactus.htm. We like to get to know the goals and lifestyle of each potential family. This information helps us start the dialog to ensure that each of our puppies are matched with the right family. The more detailed information you provide, the more accurately we can assess if we have a good match. Completing the application does not automatically add you to our reservation list.
     

  2. We will email you details about our upcoming litter(s).  Please check your spam box for this email as it is a long email that often gets caught in filters.  If you do not receive anything within a couple weeks, please reach out via email or our Facebook messenger. 
     

  3. Respond to that email with any questions or if you'd like to reserve a puppy.
     

  4. We may ask a few more questions based upon your original application.  We may also schedule an initial meet and greet in a public setting (Lowe's, park, dog show, or pet store), Zoom virtual meeting, or phone call.  We post out upcoming show schedule that allows spectators on our Facebook page.  This allows you to meet some of our dogs, ask questions, and discuss your goals.  We may also contact your references to verify that you are an excellent home for one of our puppies.
     

  5. Upon your request, we will email you our full puppy contract to review.
     

  6. If you'd like to reserve a puppy, read, complete, and return the contract with a completely non-refundable reservation fee of $500 in the mail.  Your completed contract and deposit check must be received before addition to our reservation wait list.  So you have a realistic expectation, our general reservation wait time can be 2-24 months depending on when we have a puppy that best matches your goals and lifestyle. 
     

  7. After the puppies are born, we will be in touch with our reservation families and solidify specific details about the goals and lifestyle of each family.  We will schedule a Zoom virtual meeting or phone call to update your preferences, lifestyle, and goals as sometimes these things change from the initial application.  If not completed earlier, we will contact your references to verify that you are an excellent home for one of our puppies.  Everyone loves the frequent updates on our Facebook page as the puppies grow.  When we believe that a puppy will be available for you, a non-refundable $1000 deposit is due.  We do not make specific puppy allocations until the temperament and conformation assessments are completed at 7 weeks old.  A current contract with the specific puppy details will be updated as needed.
     

  8. Please note we cannot control exact litter size, sex, or color of the puppies born so the wait time may be longer than expected.  We match our puppies based on the lifestyle, goals, and preferences of each family so we cannot guarantee a specific puppy or litter in advance.  If there is not a puppy that matches your goals, lifestyle, and/or sex/color requirements, your reservation will be automatically transferred to the next litter until we have a best match.  If you choose to withdraw your reservation, please keep in mind the $500 reservation fee is non-refundable. 
     

  9. We do reserve the right to reject an application or void a reservation and refund any reservation and deposit money at any time if we feel any family is not a good fit for our puppies.  The health, safety, and care of our puppies is our top priority at all times.
