Frequently Asked Questions.
Our Philosophy
At Posh Doodles, our program is built with purpose and intention. Each dog in our care is raised as a family companion, never in a kennel environment or high-volume operation. We believe that temperament, emotional stability, and lifelong health begin with how a puppy is raised from day one. Our mothers and fathers live in loving homes and are chosen for their health, structure, gentle temperament, and hypoallergenic coats.
Program Locations
We are a family-operated program based near Anderson/Greenville, South Carolina. We also have a second location in Riverton/Salt Lake City, Utah run by my mother under the same careful standard. Both homes follow an identical, hands-on, in-home raising approach.
Puppy Placement Process
We plan each litter with intention and do not accept deposits until puppies have arrived. Only approved families are invited to reserve a puppy.
Here’s how our process works:
1. Application: you submit your information and preferences 2. Approval: we reach out personally to let you know you're approved
3. Updates: when a litter matching your preferences is expected or born, you'll be notified and receive updates as the puppies grow 4. Deposit (after birth only): reserves your picking order once puppies arrive healthy 4. Puppy Selection: families choose in order of reservation once the puppies reach three to four weeks of age 5. Go-Home: puppies go home at eight weeks
You can expect weekly photo updates, with short video clips as the puppies get older. Because they are raised inside a family home and we prioritize routine and development, we do not offer constant or on-demand photo requests.
Pricing & Payment Process
Our puppies typically range from $3,500–$5,500, depending on expected adult size and color/markings.
We accept Zelle (preferred), Venmo Friends & Family, or cash at pickup. All deposits are considered retainers and non-refundable, and are only accepted after puppies are born.
Size, Coat, & Allergies
We specialize in Micro/Teacup Goldendoodles, bred specifically for soft, plush, teddy-bear coats and compact size.
While no dog is truly “non-shedding,” our puppies are consistently extremely low-shedding and are considered highly allergy-friendly. In over 10 years we have never had a family report allergy issues, including those with known sensitivities. We intentionally breed from coat lines with predictable curl texture and low dander production.
Though we cannot guarantee exact adult size, most of our puppies mature in the 4–12 lb range, depending on pairing.
Why We Exclusively Breed Micro/Teacup Goldendoodles
We intentionally focus on only one size and breed, true Micro/Teacup Goldendoodles, rather than offering multiple sizes or breeds. This allows us to specialize deeply in coat genetics, temperament predictability, structural soundness, and long-term health specific to this breed and size.
We do not breed larger Goldendoodles or expand into additional doodle varieties by choice. Our goal is refinement, not volume. Specialization has allowed our program to remain remarkably consistent in health, coat quality, and temperament for over a decade.
Multigenerational Quality
All of our puppies are true multigenerational (multigen) Goldendoodles, meaning they come from several generations of intentional, selective breeding and not first-generation or early crosses (like F1, F2, or F1b). This allows for far greater consistency in size, coat texture, temperament, and allergy-friendliness.
How Our Puppies Are Raised
Every Posh Doodle is raised from birth inside our home, never outdoors or in kennels. Puppies begin life in a dedicated puppy pen located in our main living space, surrounded by gentle daily household sounds like conversation, children, TV, and normal family life.
From the first weeks, we incorporate: • Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) for confidence and resilience • Daily hands-on handling and bonding from birth forward • Early scent and sound desensitization like vacuum, music, and everyday life • Puppy-safe exposure to different textures, toys, and environments • Potty pad / grass introduction around three to four weeks of age • Crate training starting at seven weeks. Most puppies are sleeping comfortably 7+ hours at night in their kennel when they go home at eight weeks
Our goal is to send home a puppy who is well-socialized, confident, and emotionally prepared to settle seamlessly into family life.
What Comes Home With Your Puppy
• 3-year genetic health guarantee
• 30 days of free health insurance
• First vaccine • Multiple dewormings • Familiar scent blanket from our home
• Comfort toy and chew
• Small bag of their current food
We do not microchip, as we prefer your vet to do so under your name directly.
Travel & Delivery Options
Families may:
• Pick up locally at our South Carolina or Utah home • Fly in and bring their puppy home in-cabin as a personal carry-on. Most major airlines allow this with a pet-in-cabin fee (typically around $95-$125) • Schedule hand-delivery via a trusted flight nanny for those unable to travel. Typical flight nanny delivery within the continental U.S. ranges from $650–$1,200, depending on distance and route.
We never ship puppies as cargo.
Safety & Visitation Policy
For the safety and health of our puppies, we do not allow casual visits to our home. While we understand the desire to meet puppies early, we follow strict safety standards to protect them from preventable illnesses such as parvo, giardia, and coccidia. These illnesses can be unknowingly carried in on clothing, shoes, or hands.
We are also respectful of our parent dogs and guardian homes. Our moms and dads do not all live in the same household, and it is not logistically possible to offer parent meet-and-greets for every inquiry.
For these reasons: • Puppies may only be visited by the adopting family on their scheduled go-home day • On pickup day, families must avoid all pet stores, dog parks, vet clinics, or anywhere dogs have been earlier that day • Shoes must be removed before entering our home, and hands must be washed prior to handling puppies • Children are welcome, but must remain seated on the floor while holding their puppy for safety
Thank you for understanding. The health and safety of our puppies will always come first.
Health Insurance & Guarantee
Every Posh Doodle comes home with a 3-year health guarantee, as well as 30 days of free health insurance through Trupanion using our breeder enrollment code: BR1PD12119. (BR2PD12119 - NY only)
Our guarantee covers hereditary conditions that could affect quality of life, ensuring families have complete confidence in the puppy they bring home. Full details of the health guarantee are reviewed during the application and adoption process.
Our Promise
We are intentional, selective, and deeply invested in how our puppies are raised and where they go. If you feel aligned with our approach and are ready to welcome one of our puppies into your home, we invite you to begin the application process.
