Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect?

Here at Sugar Maple Doodles, we have gone to great lengths to match our parents for health, coat, size, and personality. In addition to genetic testing for both parents, our mom (Maple) has undergone an extensive breeding soundness protocol at the Virginia Tech College of Veterinary Medicine. We’ve done all this to produce the healthiest pups possible, and also to protect the health and safety of our precious family pets. Based on these extensive tests, Sugar Maple puppies should range between 50-65 pounds, with coats that will likely between wavy and curly, and colors that may be merle, phantom, parti, or tricolor. They will require frequent brushing, and you can expect to have your AMD groomed every six to eight weeks in order to keep their coat free of matting.

How do I choose my puppy?

Puppies are placed in the order deposits are received. Although we do not pick your puppy for you, we do offer advice based on what you are looking for in your companion. Puppies undergo a temperament test, which allows us to give feedback regarding how they might fit into your lifestyle. It is important to understand puppy temperament can change over time based on the way they are raised, trained, and socialized once they reach their forever home. Photo updates and videos will be sent weekly once a deposit is place. We do not offer in-home visits at this time except for on scheduled pick-up days.
