🐶 Goldendoodle Acres Visitor Policy

At Goldendoodle Acres, our top priority is raising healthy, well-socialized puppies for their future families.
Because our puppies are raised in our home environment  — we have strict but important guidelines when it comes to visits.

Your understanding and support of these policies help us protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of every puppy we raise.

 Building Your Confidence in Our Program

We understand and respect that responsible families want to ensure they’re working with a reputable breeder.
Here are a few ways you can feel confident in choosing Goldendoodle Acres:

  • Read our testimonials and Google reviews from happy puppy families
  • Call our veterinarian (yes, she visits our home and performs exams personally)
  • Review our health guarantee and learn more about how and where our puppies are raised

We’re proud of our program and welcome you to verify our reputation before placing a deposit.

Before bringing your new puppy home, we also recommend speaking with your vet about vaccination schedules and when it will be safe for your pup to be out in public or around other dogs.

❓Why We Don’t Allow Puppy Visits

We know many websites recommend visiting a breeder before purchasing a puppy.
However, those guidelines often prioritize the buyer’s experience — not the puppies’ health and safety.

Because our pups are raised inside our home, it’s impossible to allow visitors without exposing young puppies (and their mothers) to unnecessary risk.

Below are the main reasons behind our policy:

🩺 Safety of the Puppies

  1. Immature immune systems
    Puppies are extremely vulnerable in their early weeks. Visitors can unknowingly bring in serious diseases such as parvovirus or distemper, which can devastate an entire litter. Sadly, many breeders have lost litters this way.
  2. Stress affects mothers and puppies
    A new mom is protective and easily stressed by strangers. When she becomes anxious, her body releases cortisol, which passes into her milk — and then to her puppies. Stressed moms lead to stressed pups.
  3. Panic can cause accidents
    Even a calm mother can panic when unfamiliar people enter her space. In her rush to protect her litter, she could accidentally step on or injure a puppy.
  4. We are guardians, not owners
    Each puppy already belongs to its future family. We are simply their caretakers during these critical first weeks — and it’s our responsibility to protect them as if they were our own.

🏠 Safety of Our Dogs and Family

  1. Stranger safety
    We don’t personally know most people who email us, and inviting strangers into our home could pose a risk to our family and dogs.
  2. Family life balance
    We have normal family routines and commitments. Constant visits would disrupt our ability to live a balanced life — and give our puppies the consistent care they need.
  3. Time and focus
    Raising puppies is a 24/7 responsibility. Time spent on visits is time taken away from caring for our moms, puppies, and families who are already waiting for their pups.
  4. We are not a petting zoo
    Some people view visiting puppies as a fun weekend activity — but our home and dogs are not open for casual visits. We must prioritize serious, committed families who are ready to bring a puppy home.

💛 How We Build Trust Instead

We want you to feel 100% confident in who we are — without compromising puppy safety.
To help with that, we are happy to:

  • Provide references from past families
  • Share our veterinarian’s contact information
  • Offer photos, videos, and regular updates of our puppies as they grow.

🙏 Thank You for Understanding

We hope you see our Visitor Policy as a reflection of what truly matters:
our commitment to the health, safety, and happiness of our puppies, our dogs, and the families who love them.

We appreciate your respect and understanding — and look forward to helping you find the perfect Goldendoodle Acres puppy for your home. 💕
