Can I Visit the Puppies or Parents? 

We understand why families would love to meet the puppies and their parents in person. However, Cucciolini Doodles does not offer in-person visits to our home, puppies or parent dogs.

This policy is important for several reasons.

Protecting Young Puppies

Newborn and young puppies have developing immune systems and are particularly vulnerable to infectious disease. Limiting outside visitors helps us maintain a controlled, clean environment during these important early weeks.

Protecting the Mother and Her Litter

Our mothers need a peaceful, predictable environment while caring for their puppies. Reducing unfamiliar visitors and unnecessary disruption helps us protect their routine, comfort and ability to care for the litter.

Protecting Our Family Home

Cucciolini Doodles is a family-home breeding program rather than a public kennel or retail facility. Our dogs live within our immediate family, and maintaining privacy and a calm home environment is important to us.

How Families Get to Know Their Puppies

Not offering visits does not mean families are left out of their puppy’s development.

We provide the first individual photographs at approximately 10 days of age. At approximately five weeks, approved families receive updated photographs and video.

As the puppies grow, we observe their individual personalities, confidence, energy, sociability and development. We use those observations together with photographs and video to guide families through the puppy-selection process.

A Guided Selection Process

Choosing a puppy is about much more than choosing a colour from a photograph. We want families to consider temperament, expected size, coat, activity level and how an individual puppy may fit into their lifestyle.

Carmelina personally guides approved families during selection and is available to answer questions about the puppies as they develop.

We appreciate the understanding of our families. This policy allows us to protect our dogs and puppies while still giving families meaningful information and personal guidance throughout their Cucciolini journey.
