How long will I wait to adopt my puppy?

We have a Breed Wait Times chart that gives the historical average amount of time our families are waiting between the time they place their deposit and the time they receive their first announcement from our Matching Team.    This is simply an average wait time, and not a guarantee. An "average" means that many families will receive their announcement before the stated average, and many families will receive their announcement after the stated average.  Click here to view the Breed Wait Times chart:  Breed Wait Times  

It is very difficult to predict an exact date or litter that you will be matched with. We cannot predict number of pups, genders or colors until a litter is born. Often families are registered for more than one breed or more than one size so the deposit list is constantly moving and changing as families at the top of the list are being fit into various litters. The greater your flexibility, the greater likelihood that you will be matched fairly quickly with a puppy. For example, if you're fine with a male/female, any color, and a Sheepadoodle or Newfiedoodle, you'll likely be matched faster than someone who needs to have a 15 pound, dark red, petite mini Goldendoodle, that has to be female. In general, the more specific your desire, the longer it will take for us to have that exact pup.

Since we're not a puppy mill, we don't have a required breeding schedule for our families in our network and they are free to choose if/when to breed their pet each year. 

To adopt a puppy from our family network, you'll need to be very patient and be ready to wait awhile.
