What is Puppy Power Kennels' process like?We spend our days making sure mom & pup are safe, comfortable and on track. We accept emails, texts and phone calls to answer questions. We want to make sure our Doodles are leaving us to awesome homes. We will provide pictures by text and occasional Facetime, WhatsApp or Duo calls. We are home with our Dogs/Pups (24/7), we have surveillance setup inside and outside. Our litters are conceived and cared for as family. We provide love, care, time, and affection. Maintenance and vaccinations until the day our puppies are off to a new home. When we prepare our puppies for a new home, we take the necessary steps to make sure the receiving owner(s) will care and protect the new loved one as family.

What happens while I wait for my puppy to leave its mom?We make sure that each puppy is getting all of the age-appropriate shots and medication, including getting wormed. Daily weight charts and documented progress. Before they go home, they will be well socialized with people and other dogs. They will be weaned off of their mother’s milk and begin to eat solid food. At about 7 weeks of age, we will allow more video calls and communication. We would like the transition to the new home happy for the puppies and families.

When can I pick up my puppy?At 8-9 weeks the puppies will be ready for their new owners. We will schedule the pick-up after the last Vet check. We will recommend Precious Pet Transport (IPATA and USDA Licensed). If by chance the new owners cannot pick up the pup, we will make an accomodation (a fee will be applied, for boarding, food and another Vet check). If by chance you cannot receive the puppy, we will rehome the pup.

How do I pick my puppy?We will contact our customers based on the order of the waitlist. For litter picks, we will allow video calls, then around 6 weeks of age we will invite you to come meet our litter (seller discretion). If you cannot make a pick by video or picture, you will have an opportunity at 6 weeks of age. Once you have made your choice, we cannot change the pick. If you have not made a pick before the 7th week we,"seller", have the discretion to move your pick to the next in line. To be fair, you are coming to pick-up your pup by the 8th week.
