~ Policies for Briar Ridge Puppies, LLC. ~
Home of Goldendoodles, Irishdoodles, True English Cream Doodles, and soon Bernedoodles.
We reserve the right to refuse to sell our puppies to anyone, at anytime before they go home, without a reason given.
All puppies will have their dewclaws removed, de-wormed several times. First set of shots and will be microchipped before they leave our home. All our babies are fully evaluated and certified by our Vet.

~ Spay and Neuter Policy ~
Puppies are sold on Spay/Neuter Contracts only. All pet/companion puppies are required to be spayed/neutered by the time they are 6 months old. We understand that some Vet now think that you should wait until dogs are older to spay or neuter. At this time this is a theory and there is not enough proof or evidence to support this. But there are many proven reasons why you should have them fixed at 6 months old, the most important is the risk of cancer by waiting.
So again, we will REQUIRE you to have any of our puppies spayed or neutered by 6 months old.
(We have very good breeding lines and do protect our puppies from becoming livestock for breeding! We do not sell our puppies to Breeders at this time.)
We require proof of spayed/neutered certificate from your Vet, by 7 months of the age of your puppy. Not doing so does give us the legal right to demand the return of said puppy at your expense and to use legal measures to ensure said puppy's safe return. It is important to have your puppy spayed or neutered! You must sign a contract agreeing to this before you can take your puppy home.

The buyer has three days after receipt of the puppy to have him/her examined by your Veterinarian or health guarantee is null and void. You must have proof of this visit with-in the time frame stated above. (Keep a copy of it in your puppy kit for safe keeping) In the unlikely event that your puppy is found by your Veterinarian to be seriously ill within the time period of your Contracts, you may request an exchange upon returning the puppy to us. If no more puppies are available, you will have first pick in next litter of same puppies. We do NOT refund money for a puppy for any reason, but will replace a puppy if there is ever a serious health issue that is covered under our Health Guarantee.
We will not be responsible for contagious disease contracted after pup has left our care. Remember that Dog Parks can cause health issues to your puppy, also visiting another dog that does not have all it's shots or worming.
Buyer must maintain this dog in good health providing Veterinary care to insure continued good health and have accurate records as proof for the warranty on your puppy. You are required to take the puppy for a yearly examine by a certified Vet. Keep all required shots current and up to date. And must give them good quality dog food, and not let them become over weight.
We do require you to sign a contract stating that, if for any reason, at any time in your puppy's life, you find that you cannot keep him/her that they must be returned to us. As we do not want any of our puppies to end up in a shelter, rescue, or bad home. We take responsibility for our breeding program and will ALWAYS take back one of our puppies. We have a list of people that are waiting for an older dog, we will give these dogs to them free of charge.

~ Pictures ~
We take pictures of your baby every week. If there comes a time when we are extremely busy, we will always choose to spend time with the puppies and socialize over taking pictures . . . but will then take Pictures as soon as we have time again. All pictures are the property of Briar Ridge Puppies and you MUST have written permission PRIOR to using or saving any of our pictures from our website, facebook, or pinterest accounts. We own all digital Copyrights to all of our pictures. If you have a deposit for a puppy in one of our litters we will email you copies of all of the puppies pictures without a watermark on the picture, for your PERSONAL use.
~ Picking Your Puppy/Visiting/Taking Your Puppy Home ~
_Our puppies are picked in order of deposits received. If you are the third deposit received then you will pick third in the litter you reserved on and so on. Puppies are picked at 4 weeks of age, by their pictures and videos over the phone. You may reserve a puppy for male or female but we cannot reserve for size, color, or markings. If picking Male or Female only, the puppies in the litter will be held for the families making these special requests first unless not enough in said litter. You will then pick the sex available or transfer to another waiting list.
It is too dangerous to allow anyone in to see the puppies before they have had their first set of shots at 6 weeks old.
Families are welcome to come here to visit their puppy, after 6 weeks old when it receives its first set of shots, Weather Permitting. We set-up a 4 hour window for families to come play with their puppy and meet the other families in their puppy's litter on the Saturday after the puppies turn 6 weeks old, then they go home at 8 weeks old. This visit is Saturday from 1 to 5 pm, come for all or part of visiting hours. Dress for weather as visits are outside.
Please plan accordingly so you can be at the visit if you live close enough as we do not have time to setup other times for visits. This would take too much time away from our training your puppies before they go home! If you cannot come for the visit, we have surrogate families that will come visit with your puppy so every puppy has a family to visit and socialize with!
Puppies will be picked up, by appointment only, at 8 weeks of age. Must have Proper ID to visit our home and/or to pickup your puppy and also will be required to sign a Liability Wavier to visit our home and property, Please plan ahead.
We do reserve the right to take first pick of any litter for our breeding program.
