Securing Your Pickerel Pup

Once you've received your application approval (yay!), the next step is reserving your spot on our waiting list. We make this process simple and straightforward:

To officially join our Pickerel Pups family, please submit your $500 non-refundable reservation fee to secure your place on our Master List. This reservation fee is applied toward your puppy's total price when your perfect match arrives.

Our puppies are priced based on breed:

• AKC Standard Poodles: $3,000 (all colors and both boys and girls)

• AKC Golden Retrievers: $3,000

• AKC Bernese Mountain Dogs $3,200

• Standard-sized F1 & F1B Goldendoodles: $2,500

• Standard-sized F1 Bernedoodles: $2,800

All Pickerel Pups come with a strict spay/neuter contract as part of our commitment to responsible breeding.

We believe this transparent pricing reflects the exceptional care, health testing, early socialization, and lifetime breeder support that comes with every Pickerel Pup. When you choose a puppy from our Lake home, you're investing in a healthy, well-adjusted companion who's been given the best possible start in life!  To discuss full AKC registration, please contact us directly.

Every Pickerel Pup comes with:

• 1-year health guarantee

• Genetic testing with their own Embark Package

• Examination by our licensed vet

• Deworming treatment

• First set of puppy vaccines

• Early crate, dog door and potty training

• Personality assessments/report cards (completed at 7 weeks old)

• Raised ENS/ESI methods

• Daily handling and socialization

• Raised in our home with Love and Puppy Culture

• At Pickerel Pups, temperament is everything to us! Craig and I breed the kind of dogs we want in our own home - loving, gentle, and mild-mannered pups. We're always here for you with lifetime breeder support.

​

Going home arrangements need to be finalized by 6 weeks of age, especially for pups traveling out of state. Any electronic payments or payments for out-of-state puppies must be completed by this time too.

We provide a five-day "grace period" for pickup with no extra charges. After that, we charge $40/day for boarding.
