No, the waiting list is not officially open yet. But we have “leftovers”. And I’m not talking about Thanksgiving food!
We actually have “leftover” puppies after matching Sasha’s litter this weekend! :O
And they are the most requested combination that we get asked about; red/apricot females!!! I’ve had people get on my waiting list and wait 12-18 months for one!
I’m blown away!
There are eighty-some people on my waiting list. I had three people out of eighty-plus (yes that’s 8 zero) that wanted to be matched with one of Sasha’s puppies and they all picked boys.
This is one reason why it’s so hard for me to answer the question “how long is your waiting list?” (well, you can see by this example, numbers don’t always matter). And the other similar question, “how long will I have to wait for a puppy?” I honestly, can’t tell you anymore. All I can do is give you an educated guess. In this instance you may get a puppy within a few weeks. (But like I said, this almost never happens). Normally you would get on our list and probably wait a year to a year and a half for a red/apricot female.
(Now before you run to our website and start filling out an application, please finish reading the post.)
I’m sure I will get lots of applications for these two girls. Just because you fill out an application (or are the first one to send it in) does not guarantee you’ll get a puppy. (And please don’t offer me “more” money in hopes that will give you an advantage. I don’t work that way. And yes, I’ve had that offered to me many times.) :O
Please fill out the applications thoroughly. The more information I have the better.
But please take into consideration the following before you apply for one of these girls……
- Can you meet in Spokane on Sunday, December 19th to pick up a puppy?
- Will you be home for Christmas/New Years to start the bonding/training process with a new puppy? We don’t want someone to pick up a puppy then leave it with a friend or relative because they already have vacation plans. (from three to twelve weeks of a puppy’s life are the critical socialization period).
- Are you ready (and your neighbors if you live in an apartment/condo/townhouse) for the noise and crying that a puppy makes during the transition/adjustment period? Some pups will cry one or two night/days. Others might carry on for the better part of the first week. It can be stressful and noisy.
- Are you truly ready for the work, stress, noise, chewing, biting, mess, chaos (and of course cuddles and love) that a puppy brings into a home/life? Puppies are cute and fun, but they are also a lot of work. And dog is a commitment of 12-15 years. Are you ready for that?
- Please do not get a puppy for “the kids” and expect them to be responsible for the puppy’s care and training. Even if you have really mature, responsible kiddos, it’s ultimately up to an adult to oversee the puppy’s training and care.
- These girls are $2700. Puppy deposit check of $500 must be sent as soon as you are matched with a puppy to hold that puppy for you. The balance needs to be paid in full by 7 weeks of age (December 13th). Additional charges may include microchipping (if you want it) and health certificate (if you are out of state it is required).
We will be accepting applications only for these two girls at this time. (We hope to reopen the main Cavapoo waiting list sometime soon though). Applying for one of these girls does not get you onto the main Cavapoo waiting list (there is no application fee to apply for one of these girls). Applications for these two girls must be submitted tomorrow, November 30th, between noon and 7pm only.
And since it’s “Giving Tuesday” just for fun, we will donate $100 of each puppy’s price to our favorite rescue! (If anyone else is interested in an end-of-the-year donation to a non-profit rescue here is the link. https://www.facebook.com/WaywardCreatures)
You can see pictures of the girls from puppyhood to current five-week-old pictures in their album. https://pinewoodcavapoos.com/cavapoos/cavapoo-littersasha-asher/
There are also videos of this litter on our YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4ZHeNCF9MkwOGjprC1Vp2Q
Ruffles is an apricot female (2# 8oz @ 5 weeks) Projected adult weight; 16-18 lb range (this is only a guesstimate)
Pringles is a red female (2# 4 oz @ 5 weeks) Projected adult weight; 12-14 lb range (this is only a guesstimate)
Both girls (in fact this whole litter) has been very happy, tail-wagging and playful so far!
