Back in 2022, me and my then-fiancé decided on getting a puppy. There are a lot of breeders out there, but we eventually settled on Copper Canyon Doodles. We were a fan of the large variety of mini goldendoodle options they had available (both F1 & F1B) due to their network of families that they work with, as well as their excellent testimonials. Including famous endorsements from Oprah and Ken Jeong, both of whom have a doodle from Copper Canyon.
Although the waitlist for us was definitely long due to a backlog of pandemic-era people wanting to get pets, our turn eventually came up over a year later. Due to either poor timing related to various life circumstances, or the litters options not meeting our criteria, we wound up passing on quite a few litters until just now in the tail-end of 2024, we finally found the one.
Throughout this entire process, Paul and Emily have been great in responding to our emails and calls to address any questions we would have about certain litters, any uncertainties or issues that came up, as well as keeping us up to date on expected upcoming new litters so we could plan ahead. Only minor complaint however was just that we had to pass on several litters that we were interested in, but only had a week's notice to commit, prep for the arrival of a puppy, and make arrangements to fly out to Vegas to pickup said puppy. More advance notice would certainly be appreciated, and we were thankful we got that with our new furbaby Mango.
Cost for a puppy from Copper Canyon is $3k, with $1K as a non-refundable deposit, and $2K paid just prior or during pickup of your puppy. They will allow you to keep your place in line and skip litters as long as you need (as we ultimately did for 1.5yrs). Puppies come with a 3yr health guarantee, but be aware that you are required to buy their suggested specialty pet food brand and supplements in order to keep the guarantee valid. Pickup for puppies is offered at the Vegas airport. Or if you're not able to make it on that date, optional pickup at their place in Utah is available for a fee.
Mango has been quite a bundle of joy. Displaying a ton of affection for everyone, and came fully crate trained, desensitized to noise, and comfortable with touching of her more particular areas (nose, mouth, paws and ears). Although training a puppy is never easy and takes a boat-load of patience, having the aforementioned factors resolved before even joining us has been a HUGE boon.
Thank you Copper Canyon for such an adorable and lovable fur-ever baby to join our family! read more
