Years ago, we announced Doodle litters to hundreds of people who had placed their name on a list. Within the first minute or two, the entire Goldendoodle (or Labradoodle) litter would be spoken for, and those who got a pup felt like they had won the lottery. If a family checked their email more than 4 or 5 minutes after we sent it, the pups would already be spoken for.

We use a thorough application process to take deposits ahead of time, accepting only the best qualified forever homes.

Please do not place a PayPal deposit unless your Doodle puppy application is accepted. We will try to thoroughly and fairly evaluate your Doodle application within four to five days. We will respond with a detailed answer that will essentially be “yes,” “no,” or “wait.” We are presently able to accept deposits from almost 30% of those who want a Doodle puppy from us. Each year it seems like we have to be more picky in which applications we can accept as we are continually flooded with Doodle puppy applications.

If you apply for an Irishdoodle puppy below, you are in NO WAY obligated to place a deposit or to get a Doodle puppy from Crockett Doodles. It is merely the initial step to show interest and explore if your family would be a good fit.

Once you apply for an Irishdoodle puppy, we will review your application. If we accept your Doodle application, you will have the option of placing a refundable $300 deposit (refundable up to 2 years from your deposit date minus a 9% processing fee), which will apply to the final price of your Doodle puppy. Once you place the deposit, you will receive litter announcements to choose which Doodle pup you want from a given litter as they’re available. You also have the option to pass on as many litters as you want.

Your Doodle deposit can be refunded at any time for any reason (minus a 9% processing fee). We don’t understand why almost every other breeder requires non-refundable deposits. To us, the application helps us evaluate if you would be a great forever home.

The deposit shows us that you are serious, but we have no desire to keep your deposit if you find a dog somewhere else or for some other reason decide not to get a puppy from Crockett Doodles.
