Doodle Transportation Options

We are located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Although many of our future puppy owners are all across America, some like to pick their puppy up in person.

When visiting our home to pick your puppy up (after they are 8 weeks old), we ask that you pre-arrange your appointment and ask that you adhere to the following guidelines:

Please do not come in contact with another breeder or another dog (other than your own fully vaccinated and healthy dog) 3 days prior to visiting our place. Additionally, do not wear any shoes to our property that have EVER visited dog park, public park, airport or highway rest stop. These four places are known to have an extremely high probability of harboring the deadly disease "Parvo".

Parvo can survive on the ground and on the soles of shoes for up to 7 years, and can be transmitted to places where you walk. Compared to human viruses it's like the Bubonic Plague (Black Death). Once you get it on your property or shoes, it’s virtually impossible to eradicate.

Puppies are highly susceptible to this virus and the majority of the time, once infected, it will kill the whole litter and future litters. This is the main reason why many other breeders DO NOT allow people to come visit their properties. However, we appreciate having folks come visit us and we think that with a little effort on everyone's part, we can keep our property Parvo-Free.

We're counting on you to help us keep our property Parvo-Free. If you do not have a "safe" pair of shoes to wear when you get here, just let us know and we'll provide you with medical booties that you can slip over your shoes.

Summary:

• Please arrange your visit/pickup in advance after your puppy is 8 weeks old.

• We respectfully ask that you do not bring another dog to our property.

• Please be prepared to wear booties over your shoes before entering our house or walking about the property (we provide the booties).

• Please do not associate with or pet another dog (other than your own) at least 3 days prior to your visit.

This protocol is necessary to help ensure the health and well being of our adult dogs and especially our puppies. Thanks for your cooperation!

When you’re not able to come pick up your puppy in person, this is the next best option. We can arrange either ground transportation or air transportation via a flight nanny, whichever is available based on your location and the schedule of our nannies. If your puppy is flying with a nanny, this price includes the cost of travel, travel crate, and tickets.

Ground transportation allows the nanny to make frequent stops for bathroom breaks and be there if the puppy needs anything along the ride and your puppy will be delivered to your door.

If a flight nanny is available, this person will sit on the airplane with the puppy. They will take your puppy to designated puppy spots within the airport before take off, and will be there with the puppy the entire time during flight. You must be able to meet the nanny at your nearest airport to pick up your puppy with this option.

We do not currently deliver outside of the continental U.S. Canada families may meet our flight nannies at the U.S. border.
