Older Puppies & Adult Dogs
Older Puppies
No older puppies are available at this time. They are all either happily living in their new homes or waiting here to meet their new family.
When we do have older puppies looking for homes, we are happy to speak with you about them.
The process starts with an application, just like getting a young puppy, but after that it is a bit different. The paperwork and supplies you take home with your puppy will be customized to the current needs of the puppy. And, we can tell you more about these puppies.
Pricing varies on older puppies. If they have been participating in a training program, their price may be higher than our younger puppies. However, if we have several older puppies who need homes, and we need the space for new puppies, we sometimes run a "special deal," with a lower price and/or extra perks. We have also been known to post a price followed by "or best reasonable offer."
Breeding-Program Adults
Our breeding process is carefully designed to ensure the health and well-being of our dogs. If a dog does not pass our extensive health testing or genetic screening, we will spay or neuter the dog and find her/him a great home.
The dogs who do pass the exams and obtain the OFA and other health certifications we require, will be bred for a reasonable amount of time (1-3 years for females, 1-9 years for males), as long as they are continuing to thrive. When they retire, we usually give them to our friends or family members, but have been known to sell them to other, excellent homes or keep them here.
Because we mainly breed F1 Goldendoodles, the majority of our breeding dogs are English Golden Retrievers, Standard Poodles, Moyen or Mini Poodles. So, those are the most frequently retiring dogs. However, we do have some English Goldendoodles here who are the parents of our F1b Godlendoodle puppies. They will also be looking for homes as they retire.
Returned Puppies & Dogs
Acadia puppies always have a home here, if their owners cannot keep them for any reason. It has only happened a few times in all these years, but it has happened. We will take the dog back, see to any health, cosmetic and/or behavioral issues, and start searching for the best place for the rest of the puppy/dog's life. Sometimes we sell them, sometimes they are given away, and if needed, they may live out the rest of their days here.
Because we mainly breed English Goldendoodles, these are the puppies who will likely be available as "returned" puppies. However, there is always the slight chance that Standard Poodles, Miniature Poodles or Golden Retrievers will be returned and in need of a home.
