You would only choose to be on the priority waitlist if you have decided we are the right breeder for you. This means you have chosen not to look at other breeders and are happy to wait for one of our puppies. If in the chance you are still ‘puppy shopping’ the priority waitlist may not be for you.

You won’t receive a refund if you decide to withdraw from our priority waitlist. We inform our families every milestone and this takes time which we can’t recoup if you cancel. We have also rejected other applications in as we have prioritised yours.

Before you visit the puppy you will be requested to agree to our Conditions of Visit and provide identification. This is to protect our litter and our family home from ill intentioned people. You may also see the parents of our litter.

Are your puppies toilet trained?

We start toilet training our puppies from 3.5 weeks old. They are trained on artificial grass. The family will need to continue this training as puppies differ from each other. Some puppies are easier to toilet train than others, so consistency rests with the family to have a successfully toilet trained puppy.

What if we need to rehome our puppy?

We understand that family circumstances change and sometimes a puppy has to be rehomed. We offer assistance with finding another suitable home for the puppy.

Do you offer a health guarantee?

Families have 72 hours to take their puppies to the vet to get a health check. If your puppy falls ill or dies due to genetic illness between 8-12 weeks of age, we will refund the cost of the puppy when the puppy is returned to us and a vet letter is provided to state the cause of the genetic illness or cause of death. We DNA test all our breeding parents and ensure they are in good breeding health. Our puppies are also vet checked, wormed and vaccinated before they go to their families. Just as a human can’t guarantee their own health in 6 months or even 12 months, in the same way we can’t guarantee a puppy’s a health. We trust families do the right thing by their puppy’s diet, environment and training to ensure they are in optimum health. We provide a four week FREE pet insurance with Vets Choice for all our families who adopt a puppy from Candy’s Cavoodles.

How can I know who is a puppy scammer?

The seller only communicates by email. All forms of communication should be tried email, voice chat, live video chat. Email alone screams that is a scam. This is because scammers can do a spell and grammar check on Word document first.

Have weekly updates, live video, photos, voice chat.

Confirm vet details and talk to the vet directly, confirm ABN by Google and ABN look-up.

If possible visit pup and parents.

They offer a ‘shipping voucher’

They use words not common to the Australian style of language (de-wormed, potty trained)

If the price is too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true. It’s a scam.

They ask for further payments to cover the freight or insurance, or a special temperature controlled crate. Do not send anymore money!

They make excuses to not be able to have a voice conversation or why you can’t see the pup.

Avoid financial heartache and do your due diligence.
