Purchasing a puppy from Oklahoma Standard Poodles
_Standard Poodle puppies can be purchased for the price listed next to their individual photos on the current puppies page, subject to terms and conditions. We have regular professional jobs, and breeding our dogs is NOT our primary source of income. Breeding is expensive on a small scale and it's necessary for us to cover our costs in order to continue to provide quality poodles to local families. Please be sure to visit the pages in this section for more information.
Here's how to purchase a puppy from us:
Here's how to purchase a puppy from us:
- Paperwork: Complete the puppy application and review the contract. Puppies will not be sold without a contract. We care deeply that our puppies are adopted to caring, committed people, and the application process is in place to prevent rushed decisions that might lead to later regret.
- Deposit: If your application is approved, place a deposit to hold a puppy.
Once your application is approved, you will be notified. There is often a gap between application approval and a pregnancy since we breed infrequently. When we have a confirmed pregnancy, approved applicants receive a link to make a deposit. Only a paid deposit secures your position on the waiting list and deposit order will govern pick order. Deposit is considered accepted when all funds arrive in our account. Please see our deposit policy and sales contract for more information. Like any normal transaction, state and local taxes apply to the purchase of a puppy and will be collected in addition to the purchase price unless otherwise stated. - Puppy Pick: Once the litter is born, we will assign puppies according to buyer preference in order of the deposits received. If we do not have a puppy to match your preference, you may use your pick order to choose another unassigned puppy from the litter. Since there may be others waiting to make a choice, we ask that you complete your choice within 24 hours of notification. If you decline to take a puppy from the litter, you will forfeit your deposit. The opportunity to make a deposit will be accepted from the next approved applicant whose preference matches the puppies we have available.
- Watch our Facebook page for frequent photo and video updates! They're so fun to share with friends and family. Be sure to like our page so we can tag you in the updates.
- Come visit your puppy! Starting around 3-4 weeks of age, we will begin scheduling personal visits with puppies and for puppy picks if you have not committed to a specific puppy. See our Nursery guidelines.
- Welcome your new puppy home! At or around 8 weeks of age ,we will notify you of a take-home date. It is usually a Friday night so the entire family may enjoy the weekend with the new puppy. It is important that the entire litter go to their new homes on or around the same date: puppies who are left behind can experience unnecessary separation anxiety due to the change in litter dynamics.
- Local pickup is strongly desired. We'd love for you to meet the parent dogs, answer questions in person, and avoid undue stress on the puppy by having him go home in your arms. If shipping a puppy Additional fees for air freight will apply. (typically around $350-$375)
Additional Terms of Sale (The Fine Print): We reserve the right to refuse any sale. We will not knowingly place puppies with unapproved breeders, laboratories, or pet shop brokers. If any check, credit, or debit card is noncollectable, rejected, or dishonored additional fees may be charged per Oklahoma law. All sales require contractual agreement.
