WHY US?
~ Our philosophy:
We use only proven healthy bloodlines and excellent temperaments. We believe that the adults (and puppies) must be in family homes and not in kennels - and have good lives that include lots of family time and adventures. We retire them much earlier than most breeders. We use guardian homes, in addition to our own, and do not have kennel facilities - everyone is in the house, not tied up or penned outside or in an outbuilding. Many breeders breed their dogs up to 10-15 times and they live in barns/kennels. While mamas love the puppies and enjoy them, we don't know how they can be "family dogs" if they always have puppies and do not live in the house. It's not just about having great puppies, it's also about providing a wonderful life for the deserving adults!
~ We also really provide forever support by our private owners' group on FB and our continued presence on social media. We are transparent and encourage our doodle owners to stay in touch - you can see updates and pictures as the siblings grow up on our private owners' group! We also do doodle play dates, all over the Northeast - it is always a good time and nice to see the pups and their owners again.
~ Collectively, we have decades of experience and by being a "multiple" (mom and 2 daughters and cousins); we are able to cover for each other whenever needed. You will most likely have contact with all of us during your puppy search and puppy's life. We all have different talents that make this program be the best. Most breeders run solo. We are able to do more with the pups than solo breeders.
~ Oh, and most importantly, our puppies are the cutest! ;-) They are also healthy, socialized, and very loved. You should see all the Instagram accounts that our owners have set up, celebrating the lives of their doodles!
See our Puppy Owner Testimonials and also a podcast by School for the Dogs for proof.
EXTENDED TRAINING OR BOARDING
If there is a puppy you want us to train past the 8 to 10 weeks that we schedule to keep them, it is ~$2,000 per month or $67/day (prefer at least 1 month, includes training/boarding/feed/baths). Not included is vet reimbursement for boosters if applicable. This is on a very limited basis as it is important that those of us that train only work with 1-3 pups at a time. We also, on a limited basis, will do a $35/day for just board/crate training (but no leash, basic commands, or field trips). Please note, we are multiple households, so while you may talk with Cheri to coordinate, the sisters or mom or trainer friend might do the boarding/training at their homes. You will receive updates! If your puppy stays with us past their go home/picking date, YOU are responsible for all vet costs while your pup is with us - this includes fecal analysis, parasite treatment, exams, UTIs, injuries, vaccinations. We do not charge for our time/travel to take your puppy to the vet, but you must reimburse us for the bill.
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ADULT SIZE, COLOR, COAT STYLE, OR LEVEL OF SHEDDING/NON-SHED OF YOUR PUPPY...GOLDENDOODLES AND SHEEPADOODLES ARE MIXES, SO WE CAN GIVE YOU AN APPROXIMATE GUESS ONLY.
We require that you take your puppy to puppy socialization/training classes - even if you are a dog trainer (and if you are a dog trainer, you know that this is necessary anyway). Before getting a puppy you should have considered: a dog walker/sitter, a vet, and if you have the time and patience for a puppy. If you live in NYC/CT/NJ/Long Island or Boston, you should seriously consider health insurance with the high cost of your vets.
Deposits/administration fees to hold a spot are nonrefundable because our time is taken up and a spot is held for you where we turn others away; and you must fill out an application. - APPLICATION
We are multiple households - mom, daughters, and friends/guardians - so our dogs are not in kennels, but in loving homes. Please understand that these are mixes - we cannot guarantee adult size or coat style or color.
Feel free to reach out to our owners on social media to research us in advance. We also have a Testimonial page, but we don't put all of them on it (oftentimes, we just forget to).

RVD Puppy Lists
To claim a spot, we need you to tell us which list you want to be on, your gender preference, complete an application, and once approved, send a deposit that will be applied to the final balance.
Deliveries are always by one of us, -- always a family member/employee that has puppy experience. This is not a pet caravan/trucking company.
We try to organize 'groups' to go so that it is more cost efficient for you than what other breeders charge to manage delivery.
***(if we have enough to go to justify trip) ..... The drivers will not do long trips for less than $600, but they will do "custom" or longer drives for more (inc tolls, bridge charges, etc.).
For example, if to Binghamton or Albany, it is usually around $300-400. If to Newburgh, it is $600. If it is about 11 hour round trip, it is usually $600 at minimum.
I am happy to take your puppy to the airport here in ROC for the trip if you want to arrange to take your puppy on the plane with you. We do not allow cargo shipping.
We tend to have puppies in bunches - so we will have a bunch, and then none for months, until a bunch again (mamas go into cycle same time). There are often times when we have NO puppies available. This is a family thing, so our dogs live in our different households - we do not have them all at one place.
NOTE: SPOTS CAN BE RESERVED VERY QUICKLY BY THE DEPOSIT/ADMINISTRATION FEE BEING SUBMITTED - don't be upset at me if that happens while we are emailing/talking or you are thinking on it :(
STARTED DOODLE PUPPY PROGRAM
Due to popular demand, we will occasionally work with several Goldendoodle, Sheepadoodle, or other Doodle puppies to offer as older "started puppies". We work on crate, potty, leash, and basic commands, and then offer them to select families that a started puppy would be best for. Started puppies do well with continued training and do much better/easier transitioning than the 8 to 10 week olds. Their prices will be the price of the puppy + the training time usually at a discount. They will come with toys, collar/leash, a towel, some food, and a lifetime of support. They also will have additional immunizations, as age appropriate. We partner with other breeders and trainers to make these happen - Payment in full in advance must be made to claim one of these puppies. We can sometimes offer to meet partway via one of our delivery drivers - see above for our delivery schedule. Starter puppies are not fully trained, but we work with them every day and get them as far as we can - because they are puppies, they will still have accidents, bite, and chew up stuff. They are much easier for people to potty train than an 8 week old puppy, so it will be first approved application and payment/confirmation to reserve.
~~~ None available right now, sorry

Like most good breeders right now, we are inundated with emails and just can't keep up with them. I can't reply to all the emails I receive every day during COVID - I'm so sorry!
Due to COVID lockdown, there is a high demand for puppies everywhere.
Please beware of those that always have puppies available or are willing to take your deposit in advance before knowing for sure there will be puppies coming!
Avoid Greenfield puppies, Lancaster puppies, and in general any from PA or other high puppy mill states. Ask people on social media for their experiences with a breeder if you find someone you want to work with. Please do not support puppy mills just because "good" breeders are booked.
Applications are required - deposits are due by Venmo or Zelle. If you want to pay by PayPal, you have to add/pay their 3% processing fee if they are going to charge it (ie, if you don't have the account linked to your bank, they charge a 3% fee). We prefer check sent far in advance to clear, cash/COD, or Zelle. We have had issues with PayPal (fees) and sometimes even Venmo (weekly limits).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We prefer not to take commitments too far in advance as mother nature oftentimes ruins our plans! -- Different from what other breeders do, but we feel this is more fair for you and us, rather than holding deposits on future lists that may or may not work out. We will post lists when we know for sure puppies are coming/here.
BOARDING IS $35/DAY and TRAINING IS $67/DAY (+ any vet charges/reimbursement). Space is limited.
