Our process begins with the Puppy Application, which helps us learn more about your family, lifestyle, and what you are hoping for in a future companion. Once we have reviewed your application, we will schedule a phone interview to get to know you a little better, answer your questions, discuss our program, and explore whether a Miss Cindy’s Doodles puppy may be the right fit for your family.
The process begins with our Puppy Application, followed by a phone interview after review. This gives us an opportunity to learn more about your family and preferences, answer your questions, and determine whether our program may be the right fit.
All Miss Cindy’s Doodles Petite Goldendoodle puppies are priced at $4,500, regardless of coat type, color, or gender. Our pricing reflects the investment we make in our parent dogs, our expertise in producing exceptional puppies, professional credentialing, and our specialization in smaller Petite Goldendoodles, which typically have smaller litters.
Please note: While every effort is made to estimate adult size based on parental lineage and pedigree, precise adult size cannot be guaranteed because natural variation may occur.
A reservation fee secures either the next available spot on the Priority Reservation List or an available puppy from the designated litter. Puppy selection takes place when puppies are six to seven weeks old, in Priority Reservation List order.
If a breeding does not result in pregnancy, your reservation fee may be refunded or transferred to the next available litter. If a litter does not produce the gender, coat type, or color you prefer, you may also choose to transfer your reservation to a future litter or receive a refund.
Pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasound approximately four weeks after breeding. An X-ray is performed 53 to 55 days after breeding to estimate the number of expected puppies. The total gestation period is approximately two months.
Puppy selection takes place when the puppies are seven weeks old and may be done in person at our home in Southern California or, when needed, by FaceTime or Zoom. For the health and safety of our puppies, visits are limited to families with approved applications and the required partial payment received. Selection takes place in Priority Reservation List order.
The Stand-By List requires only an approved application; no reservation fee is needed. Families on the Stand-By List are contacted in order when a reservation spot opens or if additional puppies become available.
If you choose to reserve a puppy, a reservation fee is then required to secure your place on the Priority Reservation List.
As the breeder, we reserve the right to first pick in every litter, although we do not typically choose to keep a puppy. Occasionally, our Breeder’s Pick may be offered to an approved outside breeding program.
Breeders interested in purchasing a Breeder’s Pick puppy with breeding rights should contact us directly for pricing and additional information.
At eight weeks of age, puppies receive a health examination from a licensed veterinarian, their first vaccinations, deworming as needed, and a health certificate with vaccination record. Each puppy also goes home with a custom Miss Cindy’s Doodles tote bag containing a harness and leash, pawTree treats, two toys, two blankets, Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint by Corinne Gearhart (The Doodle Pro), and a heartbeat Snuggle Puppy™.
Puppies are microchipped and receive Limited Registration with GANA™ (The Goldendoodle Association of North America). All puppy families also receive lifetime breeder support.
Each puppy comes with a 24-month health guarantee against congenital, hereditary, or genetic conditions that significantly affect quality of life.
The well-being of our puppies and the families who welcome them is always our priority. We reserve the right to decline a sale if we believe a placement would not be in the best interest of the puppy or family. In that event, any reservation fee paid will be refunded.
While we strive to provide accurate estimates of our puppies’ adult sizes and possible colors, it is important to remember that these are predictions, not guarantees. Nature plays a significant role, and we cannot promise specific genders, coat types (straight, wavy, or curly), or coat colors for each litter. Based on the genetics of our parent dogs, we expect our puppies to be fully furnished with the characteristic Goldendoodle appearance and generally low to non-shedding coats; however, individual coat type and shedding level cannot be guaranteed.

We offer a $250 discount to active-duty military members, retirees, veterans, first responders, and K–12 teachers. We are grateful for your service to our communities.
For families within driving distance, puppies may be picked up at Miss Cindy’s Doodles in Temecula, California. For families traveling from farther away, we are happy to meet you at San Diego International Airport or Ontario International Airport.
When our schedule allows, we can also personally accompany your puppy by air and meet you at your local airport. Personal delivery is priced at the cost of round-trip airfare, the in-cabin pet fee, and a $100 delivery fee. If we are unable to deliver your puppy personally, we will be happy to recommend a trusted flight nanny.
Puppies may be delivered throughout the continental United States and Canada.
Our Puppy Application is intentionally comprehensive because welcoming a puppy into your family is an important, long-term decision. It helps us learn about your household, lifestyle, preferences, and what you are looking for in a future companion so we can offer meaningful guidance throughout the puppy-selection process.
