Colorado Red Royal Standard Poodles

RESERVING a Puppy...   or Two

To reserve a puppy, with Limited AKC, we require a non-refundable 500.00 deposit to reserve a puppy.  (2000.00 total cost for a puppy)

Limited AKC registration papers will be mailed to the new owner after the puppy has been spayed or neutered.  A copy of the vet reciept must be mailed to us showing this has been accomplished.  



To reserve a puppy, with Full AKC, we require a non-refundable $2750.00 deposit to reserve a puppy.  (email for price and availability)  Please note the $2750.00 is "only a deposit", that is requires to reserve a Full AKC puppy.  Full AKC registration will allow you to breed with your pup and register the litters.

These deposits will be held for a minimum of 10 months from the date received, or until the litter is born. Once the litter is born we will notify you, and let you know if there is or is not a puppy for you.

To place a deposit on a litter, I will need to know:

*Are you looking for a male or female puppy?

*Limited AKC registration papers  OR    Full AKC registration papers            *Please send your name, address and phone number by email.  Also include in this email a brief explanation of what you are looking for in a puppy and a brief descritption of your home life for a puppy.  

Once the puppies are born, you will be notified that we have a puppy reserved in your name.  If there are not enough puppies in the litter for all the families on the list, and you were unfortunate by not getting one.  At that time, we will offer you a puppy of the opposite sex (if one is available), OR transfer your deposit to another litter, OR   you can ask for a full refund of your deposit.  The choice is yours.  

Sending a 'pre-litter' deposit will give you the peace of mind and assurance that you are on the puppy reservation list.  It will also give you a better chance of getting a puppy from one of our litters, as all of our puppies are normally spoken for before they are born.

At approx 6-7 weeks of age, the new familes can pick out their puppy in the order of which we received a deposit.  Families purchasing Full AKC registration will have a higher priority, when choosing their puppy.  The higher priority slots on the list for Full AKC, are not available at all times.  There are only a couple of these slots avaiable per litter.

Viewing of the litter prior to 6 weeks is fine, but only for a short time as it makes the mother uncomfortable.  We do not allow you to handle the puppies at this age.  And please keep in mind that I am extremely busy with the young puppies and may not have time for visitors. 

We only allow families to visit when we have a litter of puppies  -  If you are ready to add another family member to your home  - You have already sent us a deposit to hold a puppy and we have received it in the mail.  -  We have puppies that are still available. 

Handling of the puppies is not allowed until they are 6 weeks old, at which time the 'puppy selection process' will start.  We will identify which puppy you pick out by marking them.  (for example) a female with the front right foot shaved, or a female with the left rear foot shaved, male with both front feet shaved, etc.

After the puppies are born, (and we have a puppy for you) and in the event a familiy changes their mind on purchasing a puppy, deposit monies will not be refunded, nor transferred to another litter, but used towards additional advertising expenses in selling the puppy. 

At eight weeks old, the puppies are ready to go to their new homes.   We do offer boarding for your puppy at $20.00/ day if pick-up is delayed and goes beyond 9 weeks of age.   This boarding rate is good for one week, until the puppy becomes 10 weeks old.  After your puppy is 10 weeks old, board for your puppy will be 40.00 / day.  

When the puppies 'leave the nest', we send home:                                    *a 'scented' towel ("scented" like their mother and siblings)                            *a 'scented' stuffed animal to help with the transition when leaving their parents.            

*They will have their first set of vaccines  and have been de-wormed.             *2-year written health guarantee against serious genetic issues, (as of date, we have never had any problems with our adult dogs, their puppies or from the breeders we bought them from)                                                                 *Puppy kibble, (Purina ProPlan, Savor - Puppy chicken and rice, shredded blend.)  If you choose to change puppy food, use this bag to slowly switch them over and to avoid an upset stomach.                                                        *Puppy kibble, BilJac Puppy Select. The puppies really like both types of food and tend to do very well on them.

*AKC regitration papers will be given to Full AKC families when pciking up their puppy.  Limited AKC registration papers will be mailed to the new owner after the puppy has been spayed or neutered.  A copy of the vet reciept must be mailed to us showing this has been accomplished.  

*Grooming.  All puppies will be bathed, and groomed.  We groom the face and feet on all puppies prior to leaving our home.  It is in the best interest of your puppy.  (so please don't ask to leave your puppy fuzzy)  Having their first grooming by their 'nanny' (me :) is so much easier on them than you or a groomer do this.  The puppies know me, and trust me, so when grooming them, they have that sense of security.  It is also important to keep the hair trimmed by your puppy/ dog's eyes.  Just imagine if you had hair hanging down over your eyes.

We give a 2-year genetic health guarantee on each puppy.  (until the puppy is 2 years old)  If an issue arises within the two-year time frame,  (or actually any time in your puppy's life, as we need to know this for breeding purposes)  Please get in touch with us. Send us a letter from your veterinarian, describing the issue in detail, along with photos as deemed necessary.  If indeed there is a serious genetic issue, and the puppy is younger than 2 years old, we will offer you another puppy if we have one available (in exchange for the current pup/ dog)  If no pups are available, we will place you on the waiting list for the next litter.  A refund of the purchase price of the puppy may be offered, depending on the circumstances.  This decision is determined by the breeder.  

Below is an example of the items you will take home, the day you pick up your puppy.



At the present time, we are considering shipping out of state....  More info to come on this as I investigate this option.  (2019 - 2020)

Please note: we do not ship our puppies out of state, as we have no problem selling them in Colorado.  On the other hand, we have had several families from out of state purchase a puppy and find alternate ways of getting them home. 

The most common way families bring thier puppy home, is to fly here (DIA, Denver International Airport) and take thier puppy back as carry-on, in the aircraft's cabin.  Once your flight has landed, you can also save some time and money by using UBER or LYFT, and not a rental car.

All arrangements of taking a puppy home when living out of state is the responsibility of the new owner.  Once the puppy leaves our home, we are not responsible for the puppy's well being.  It is the new owner who takes full responsibility of the puppy.

If you live out of state, yet another option is to use a 'pet chauffeur'.  Katie Tice is located here in the Denver area and will help you make arrangements to fly your puppy home.  www.petsfly.com  Katie is a pro when it comes to shipping pets and is very reliable. Phone:  720-291-4974 

Katie has also offered to pick up the puppy from our house and meet you at the airport.  She will pick up your puppy, drive to the airport and deliver the puppy directly to you.  You wouldn't even need to leave the airport.

In addition to Katie's fees, I will need to obtain a State Health Certificate for the puppy to fly.  The Health Certificate will cost $130.00 - $150.00.  (this certificate is only necessary if the puppy is flying 'cargo')   We will share the cost with you.  Your cost would be $80.00, we will cover the balance.  This cost shall be paid, prior to shipping the puppy.  The Health Certificate is only good for 10 days.  If your travel plans change and a new Health Certificate is necessary -  you will be responsible in the purchase of another certificate.  I will need to know at least 10 days advance of the flight departure.  Once the puppy leaves our home, we are not responsible for the puppy's well being.  It is the new owner who takes full responsibility of the puppy.
