To reserve your new puppy, we require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit be placed towards the purchase price of your chosen
puppy. The amount of the non-refundable deposit will vary upon the price of the puppy (about 1/3 of price), but will not be
less than $300. While deposits are non-refundable, they ARE transferable to another puppy! The non-refundable deposit
can be made using one of the following methods:
  • Western Union/Moneygram
  • If you have a Key Bank or Wells Fargo Bank/Wachovia Bank in your area, we can give you our account number for you
    to place your non-refundable deposit directly into our account. This is safe, convenient, instant & doesn't cost either
    of us anything
  • Bank wire the deposit directly from your bank account (must add an additional $20 for our bank wire transfer fee)
  • Postal money order, cashier's checks or personal check (please allow fourteen (14) business days to clear)
  • We can NOW process credit cards for your payments (must add 4% to the amount you're sending to cover fees)
  • International customers must pay via Western Union/Moneygram OR bank wire transfer (must add an additional $25
    for our international bank wire transfer fee)
The balance due on your puppy MUST be received by the time the puppy is 7 weeks old (unless other arrangements have
been made) or the puppy may be re-listed and your non-refundable deposit is forfeited! We reserve the right to cancel a
sale at any time for any reason!
We can ship most puppies for the flat fee of $295, which includes the one-way airline ticket to your closest international
airport that accepts live animals in the continental USA, Alaska or Puerto Rico, the traveling kennel, the vet's health
certificate and exam, either a fleece pet bed or blanket, and a puppy food sample. If the puppy is a little older or if the
crate & puppy will weigh more than 9 pounds, then we
may need to charge $350-$395, due to the weight restrictions of
each airline. Delta is always more expensive, so if we need to ship Delta, be prepared to pay at least $350. We also now
offer PERSONAL delivery of your puppy! Price will be quoted on a case-by-case basis, but will include the round-trip ticket
for us to fly with your puppy, the airline's charge for flying with the puppy in-cabin, plus a reasonable fee for our time &
expenses. For example, we recently flew to Kansas City with a puppy for the total shipping price of $550. We ship
international too, price will vary upon your country's requirements.

Since it is an 7 hour round trip for us to travel to an international airport for shipping, we usually only ship once or twice a
month. You can see our next shipping date posted on the top of our home page.
 

If we ship two puppies in the same kennel, there will only be an additional $50 added for the additional puppy's vet exam
(airline rules state that both puppies must be less than 6 months of age and are
similar in size in order to ship together).

The airlines will not accept a puppy to be shipped under 8 weeks of age.
We will not ship until we feel the puppy is ready to
travel. We will then make all arrangements and after booking the flight, we will provide you with the confirmation and flight
numbers, along with the detailed instructions regarding the date, time and place to pick him or her up.  
We ask that upon
arrival, you contact us as soon as possible to let us know that the puppy arrived safely
.  Shipping will originate either from
Salt Lake City, Utah or Idaho Falls, Idaho. We do NOT deal with shipping "agents".   
We are family members who love poodles! We have MANY years of combined experience in breeding & raising the
wonderful and gorgeous toy poodle breed. We make it our goal to carefully breed for health, temperament & color. Our
main objective is, of course, betterment of the breed. In order to facilitate your search for the perfect "poo"--the
next member of your family--we have chosen to list our collective litters through one website, through Jewels, heading
up the national & international sales that come through this awesome method of offering the fruits of our many years of
hard work and careful breeding to YOU!  

None of us are in any way puppy-mill operations!  This is very important to know, because the physical health and
emotional well-being is absolutely vital from birth through the adoptive age of the "poo-babies", just as it is for a human
infant. We wholeheartedly support & admire those who are trying to shut down the puppy mill operations!  Please be
educated and NEVER support any puppy miller or any store that sells animals because it only encourages & enables
further horrific breedings & filthy dangerous conditions!  

These "poos" are our babies & friends!  We spoil them with much love and attention, as we are true animal lovers.  The
"poos" live in our houses & each pup receives the individual attention and socializing required to start them off as stable
and confident pups.
We have just recently changed our policy on allowing full/open AKC registration papers as the "norm"
to providing limited AKC registration papers as the new standard, UNLESS
prior arrangements are made. We hope to
encourage responsible breeding by implementing this new policy. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is not easy...just ask
ANY reputable breeder! We are not adjusting prices according to limited vs. full AKC registration at this time. We also
offer optional
microchip service for only $25 to facilitate recovery upon the unfortunate loss or theft of your baby. We
strongly encourage that you protect your pet by registering the microchip to you with your information as soon as you
receive your new baby! We also strongly encourage enrolling in the AKC's Lost & Found program!  

Who Are We?
Prices & Deposits
We don't typically price our toy poodles until they are about 2-4 weeks old, unless we feel fairly confident about
approximate adult size. Prices are determined based on sex, color, size, pedigree & age. We reserve the right to
adjust prices higher or lower, depending on what we feel the value of the puppy is. Why are teacup puppies are so
expensive? The mom to these tiny puppies is typically quite small and only has 1-2 puppies per litter. It costs a lot of
money to feed premium dog food and keep these tiny ones in tip-top shape to provide healthy puppies! When we do get
teacup puppies, they require a lot of TLC, sometimes including tube-feeding, ICU care, IV fluid care, etc. It's a 24/7
job to get a teacup puppy to thrive! In addition, teacup puppies take much longer than the larger puppies before they
are ready to go to their new homes.  Essentially,
TIME=MONEY.  How much is YOUR time worth? Remember you get
what you pay for!  Here is a list to give you a basic guideline on our prices:
Toy poodle (6-10 lbs/9.5-10")....................................$  600 & up
Tiny toy poodle (4.25-5.75 lbs/8.25-9.25")...........$  800 & up
Teacup poodle (3.25-4 lbs/7.5-8")............................$1500 & up
Tiny teacup poodle (under 3.25 lbs/under 7.5").....$1800 & up
Shipping
Health Contract
We are now proudly offering a TWO year genetic health guarantee from the puppy's date of birth, however, our health
contract MUST be signed and on file before your puppy is shipped or picked up to be valid. It is your responsibility and in
your best interest to complete the contract for our files. We have tested some of our poodles for PRA and they have all
been normal. We also make sure our poodles don't have bite issues or luxating patella issues before we start them in our
breeding program. We breed for conformation, no short-legged or long-bodied poodles here! We have been inspected by
AKC inspectors for years and have always been found in full compliance. We welcome their annual visit.
Sizes
We do our very best to estimate the adult size of the puppies based on previous litters (if applicable), sizes of parents
and their ancestors, as well as the toy breed
weight chart incorporated into our site and numerous other sites. No one
can 100% predict the adult size of a puppy...genetics is very complicated! Toy poodles are typically about done with their
growth at about 6 months of age, although they may "fill out" just a bit more. Toy poodles--like people--also gain some
weight as they get older.
Feeding
While we free-feed our puppies & adult teacup poodles, we do feed our other dogs on a twice a day schedule. We
also strongly recommend putting your new puppy on a schedule to make it easier to house train them; however, clean
fresh, clean water should
always be available. We are proudly feeding Life's Abundance, a premium health food
for all life stages. This quality dog food is produced in limited runs on a weekly basis, minimizing periods of storage
and helping to deliver the freshest-possible product. It contains no hormones/steroids, no by-products, no corn,
wheat or soy, no artificial colors/flavors, no chemical preservatives. Feeding this healthy food will help give your
pet a long and healthy life! And if that isn't enough, it costs
less per serving than other premium dog foods & can be
shipped right to your door! We love it and more importantly, our DOGS all love it!
