The puppies' adoption fee includes the cost of the vet appointments we take them to, the vaccines and deworming medications they get prior to leaving our care, as well as the service Idaho Jewels Poodles provides you with in order to get you ready for your new puppy. We also provide you with a Puppy Care Package to help with the puppies' transition into their new home. If you'd like to purchase a microchip ($25) for your puppy or purchase a Snuggle Puppy ($40), you're welcome to pay additional fees in order to do so.

Our pricing can depend on a lot of different factors. Our pet-pricing is dependent on age, size, and coloration, but it's generally anywhere from $1500-2500. Our Breeding-Quality dogs can be anywhere from $3000+. This is generally dependent on color genetics, as well as CDDY/IVDD results. If you're not sure what to expect for pricing, please reach out and we'll try our best to give you an estimated price range based on the market.

Our reservation process is just 3 steps!

1. Check out our available dogs, and click "I'm Interested!" when you find the Idaho Jewel you want to reserve!

2. Fill out our Questionnaire and Application, Read our Health Guarantee, and wait to receive approval via email.

3. Send your $500 non-refundable holding fee via our available payment methods.

We keep our website up-to-date every day, sometimes even multiple times a day. There's nothing we hate more than a website that isn't showing current changes! If a dog on our website reads as available, then it's available!

If you'd like to join our waiting list, we first need you to be ready to adopt a puppy now. We no longer accept applications for our waiting list that have specific timeframes in mind, as we have limited positions available for people that are ready NOW. If you're ready NOW, and we don't have what you're looking for on our website right now, there are some simple steps for you to follow to get in line.

1. Fill out a Questionnaire & Application, detailing what exactly you're looking for, then wait to receive our approval via email.

2. Once approved, we will ask clarifying questions regarding what you're looking for. You will be asked to choose 1-2 lists to join, and then be directed to fill out our Waiting List Management Fee Form.

3. After getting your form approved, we will then ask for your $200 non-refundable waiting list management fee via one of our applicable payment methods. This fee will apply to your puppy when you choose a puppy to move forward with from our waiting list offers. If you no longer want a puppy, or if timing is no longer good for your adoption, this fee will become forfeit, and we will remove you from the list.

Most airlines are not able to ship at this time. However, we do work with a flight nanny that can carry your puppy in-cabin and meet you at your closest international airport!

We also work with a few different small and trusted companies for ground transport all over the United States.

Anyone located outside of the U.S., will need to find another way to get their puppy from us.

If you're located close-by, you're more than welcome to pick-up in person for free.

Yes! We do charge a $25/day or $150/week boarding fee after the puppy is ready to come home. If you placed a deposit to reserve them after they were already to go home, then we give a week of free boarding prior to picking up, so that you can adequately prepare for your puppy.

Though our strict spay/neuter agreement requires that this procedure be done prior to when the puppy turns 1 year old, we generally recommend spaying or neutering around 9-12 months of age. 7 months is the soonest the girls may be able to come into heat, and the males start to mark their territory around that age as well. Please send us the proof of spay/neuter upon completion of this procedure.

My mom started this business together when I was very little, so I've grown up with them pretty much my entire life. My late father was allergic to animals, so being around poodles was the best option because they're so hypoallergenic. We've been doing this over 25 years now. I wrote a blog post about my mom, Julie, started breeding poodles. But the short version behind "Why Poodles?" is simply because we've fallen in love with how versatile they can be. Not only are they great dogs to have in the home, but they can also be amazing hiking buddies, great service animals, and best of all... an amazing part of any family. - Bek
