Breeder: Aiza Haynes, A.N.A. Doodles · 1201 4th Ave N, Cold Spring, MN 56320 · (219) 318-6592 · a.n.a.doodles22@gmail.com
Welcome to A.N.A. Doodles! Whether you’re reserving a puppy from one of our current litters or joining the waitlist for a future litter, we’re excited to help you welcome your new family member.
Please review our Puppy Reservation & Deposit Agreement carefully before submitting. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation once your application has been approved and availability confirmed.
Reservation Positions
Reservation positions are assigned and confirmed by A.N.A. Doodles based on availability and the order in which approved reservations are received. A reservation does not guarantee a particular puppy, sex, color, coat type, or other specific characteristic.
Reservation Deposit
A $500 non-refundable reservation deposit is required to secure a selection position. The deposit will be applied toward the total purchase price of the puppy.
Deposits are transferable one time to another available litter if the Buyer’s timing or circumstances change, subject to availability and approval by A.N.A. Doodles.
Deposits are otherwise non-refundable, except where expressly stated in this agreement or required by applicable law.
If the only puppy available to the Buyer has an inverted or recessed vulva and the Buyer does not wish to proceed, the Buyer may choose to receive a refund of the reservation deposit or transfer it to another available litter.
If A.N.A. Doodles is unable to fulfill a reservation, the Breeder will discuss available alternatives, including a transfer or refund where appropriate.
##Puppy Selection Process
Families select their puppy according to their confirmed reservation position. Puppy selections typically take place at approximately three weeks of age. At that time, families may choose based on their preferences, including gender, color, and overall appearance, subject to availability and the puppies’ development.
A.N.A. Doodles observes each puppy throughout development and may share photos, videos, and personal observations to help families make an informed selection. While A.N.A. Doodles does not personally match or assign puppies to families, the Breeder is happy to share observations and experiences regarding each puppy’s developing personality and behavior.
Formal temperament evaluations are conducted at approximately seven weeks of age. Results are shared with families as an additional guide to help them better understand each puppy’s personality, confidence, energy level, and responses to different situations. Temperament testing does not change the confirmed selection order.
Families have 48 hours to make their selection once their selection window opens. A.N.A. Doodles may retain puppies for its breeding program before family selections begin.
Temperament testing is a snapshot of a puppy at a particular age and does not necessarily determine the puppy’s final adult temperament. Genetics play an important role, but a puppy’s environment, continued training, socialization, and life experiences also significantly influence development. Early observations and temperament evaluations are not guarantees of adult size, coat, energy level, behavior, or temperament.
Finality of Puppy Selection
Once a family confirms their puppy selection, that selection is considered final. Requests to change puppies after confirmation are subject to availability and must be approved by A.N.A. Doodles
Families understand that puppies continue to develop physically and behaviorally as they grow. Changes in a puppy’s appearance, personality, energy level, or temperament after selection do not automatically qualify a family to change puppies or receive a refund.
What We Cannot Guarantee
While A.N.A. Doodles carefully selects breeding pairs based on health, structure, genetics, and temperament, certain characteristics cannot be guaranteed.
These include adult size, weight, coat type, texture, color, markings, shedding level, and adult temperament.
Estimated adult weights are based on parental size, genetics, and previous litters when available. Actual adult size may vary.
Although our puppies are bred with coat characteristics in mind, no dog can be guaranteed to be completely non-shedding or hypoallergenic.
Temperament evaluations reflect a puppy’s behavior at a specific stage of development and do not guarantee adult personality, energy level, or behavior. Genetics, environment, training, socialization, and life experiences all influence a dog’s development.
Final Payment & Go-Home
The remaining balance is due no later than the day before pickup or delivery.
Puppies generally go home at eight weeks, provided they are healthy and ready. Pickup is by appointment only.
Final payments can be made through Gooddog.com, Zelle, Cashapp, Venmo or cash.
Delayed Pickup and Boarding Fees
Puppies are expected to go home on their scheduled go-home date, at approximately eight weeks of age, unless otherwise arranged with A.N.A. Doodles.
A complimentary three-day grace period will be provided following the litter’s designated go-home date. Beginning on the fourth calendar day, a boarding fee of $35 per day, per puppy will apply until the puppy is picked up or transferred to an approved transporter.
All boarding fees must be paid in full before the puppy is released.
Any delayed pickup arrangements must be approved in advance by A.N.A. Doodles. Extended boarding is subject to availability and is not guaranteed.
The Buyer acknowledges and agrees to these terms upon signing this agreement.
Puppy Purchase Contract
All puppies are placed under the A.N.A. Doodles Puppy Purchase Contract & Health Warranty.
The Buyer must review and sign the contract before the puppy goes home.

Visitation Policy
We raise our puppies right in our home, not in a kennel. To keep our puppies safe and healthy, we don't allow in-person visits; instead we offer scheduled FaceTime calls so families can meet the puppies virtually, ask questions, and watch their personalities blossom as they grow.
