How do I reserve a puppy? What's next?
1. Complete our puppy application at https://www.piccolospoodles.com/contactus.htm. We like to get to know the goals and lifestyle of each potential family. This information helps us start the dialog to ensure that each of our puppies are matched with the right family. The more detailed information you provide, the more accurately we can assess if we have a good match. Completing the application does not automatically add you to our reservation list.
2. We will email you details about our upcoming litter(s).
3. Respond to that email with any questions or if you'd like to reserve a puppy.
4. We may ask a few more questions based upon your application. We may also schedule an initial meet and greet in a public setting (Lowe's, park, dog show, or pet store), Zoom virtual meeting, or phone call. This allows you to meet some of our dogs, ask questions, and discuss your goals. We may also contact your references to verify that you are an excellent home for one of our puppies.
5. Upon request, we will email you our full puppy contract to review.
6. If you'd like to reserve a puppy, read, complete, and return the contract with deposit personal check in the mail. Deposit checks are not processed until puppies are born. Your completed contract and deposit check must be received before addition to our reservation wait list. So you have a realistic expectation, our general reservation wait time can be a couple months up to possibly over a year depending on when we have a puppy that best matches your goals and lifestyle.
7. After the puppies are born, we will be in touch with our deposit holders and solidify specific details about the goals and lifestyle of each family. We may schedule a Zoom virtual meeting or phone call to update your preferences, lifestyle, and goals as sometimes these things change from the initial application. If not completed earlier, we will contact your references to verify that you are an excellent home for one of our puppies. Everyone loves the frequent updates on our Facebook page as the puppies grow. We do not make specific puppy allocations until the temperament and conformation assessments are completed at 7 weeks old. A current contract with the specific puppy details and deposit check may be updated as needed.
8. Please note we cannot control exact litter size, sex, or color so the wait time may be longer than expected. We match our puppies based on the lifestyle, goals, and preferences of each family so we cannot guarantee a specific puppy or litter in advance. If there is not a puppy available when expected or no puppies match with your goals, lifestyle, and/or sex/color requirements, most families choose to transfer their reservation to the next litter.
9. We do reserve the right to reject an application or void a reservation and refund any deposit money at any time if we feel any family is not a good fit for our puppies. The health, safety, and care of our puppies is our top priority at all times.





What Is A Puppy?
What is a puppy
A puppy is a fluffy bundle of joy
Who can turn any object into a toy
With four paws and a wagging tail
He will try and beat you to pick up the mail
He likes to chew on anything new
A ball, a bone or even a shoe
He loves to run and likes to be
Chasing the neighbours cat up a tree
A puppy is loveable and so cute
Even when he ruins your favourite boot
His adoring look will melt your heart
And you know from him you won?t want to part
A puppies love just grows and grows
Through all of the little highs and lows
He truly will be your best friend
A great companion to the end.
-Stella Mortazavi
