Goldendoodle Puppy Pricing & Payment Plan
Total price for a Goldendoodle puppy is: $4,000
Regardless of age, gender, generation, size, or coat type — my main focus as a breeder is temperament.
Reservation Fee
$500 non-refundable, due after:
- Application accepted
- Face-to-face call completed
*The Reservation Fee is non refundable and places you on the specific Litter Match list of your choice. Life happens, so if your plans or timing change, you may transfer your reservation one time to a subsequent litter at no additional cost. Any additional changes beyond this one time transfer would require a new Reservation Fee and placement on a new Litter Match list.
Remaining Balance: $3,500
Total Puppy Price: $4,000
Remaining Balance: $3,500 (after Reservation Fee)
Standard Timeline:
(for families who join the Match List before puppies are 1 week old)
• $1,500 due when the litter reaches 1 week old
• $2,000 due on Match Day, once final contracts are signed and you have officially matched with your puppy
If Joining a Match List After pups between 1 - 4 weeks old:
(if puppies are between 1–6 weeks old at the time you join)
• $2,000 due at the time you join the Match List, regardless of puppy age
This amount includes the non refundable Reservation Fee
• $2,000 due on TD Socialization Day, once final contracts are signed and you have officially matched with your puppy
Goldendoodle Puppies Over 4 Weeks Old
- Full payment ($4,000) is due once contracts are signed.
Boarding Beyond Go Home Day
Puppies are ready to join their forever families at 8 weeks. I understand sometimes families have unchangeable plans. In this case I offer boarding past Go Home Day at a rate of $50 per day.
Other Costs to Plan For Before Go Home Day
Your puppy will need supplies before they come home, including a crate, bedding, bowls, a safe puppy play area, grooming tools, and other essentials.
I've put together a recommended shopping list to make the process simple.
I also require families to purchase a bag of pawTree food before Go Home Day. Consistency matters during a big transition, and I want puppies going home with as little change as possible.
Families should also budget for:
• PawTree food $150-300
• Microchip registration $25
• Pet insurance Free-$80/month
• A wellness exam with their veterinarian within 72 hours of going home (a happy visit and physical exam, no vaccines required)
A little preparation ahead of time helps set both you and your puppy up for success. 🤎🍄🐾

What is the process of buying a goldendoodle puppy
Step 1: Submit an Application
• Fill out the Twilight Doodles Goldendoodle Puppy Application.
• I’ll personally reach out via text, usually within 24 hours, to confirm I received everything.
• I’ll also confirm the time for our Face-to-Face call so we can officially connect and start getting to know each other a little better. 🤎🐾
Step 2: Face-to-Face Call with McKenze
• A casual conversation where we get to know each other and make sure we’re the right fit.
• We’ll talk through your lifestyle, what you’re hoping for in a future puppy, timing, upcoming litters, and any questions you have about the Twilight Doodles experience.
• This is also where I begin helping guide families toward the type of temperament, energy level, and overall companion that may fit best within their home.
Step 3: Reserve Your Spot
• Once your application is approved, Face-to-Face call is completed, and Reservation Agreement is signed, your $500 non-refundable Reservation Fee is due.
• Reservation Fees can be sent via Zelle or Venmo.
• Once your Reservation Fee is received, your spot on the reservation list is officially secured and your journey as a Prepared Puppy Parent truly begins.
Step 4: Join the Private Twilight Doodles Family Group
• Follow along with the journey: pregnancy, whelping, puppy development, socialization, training, and LOTS of videos/photos.
• Ask questions, connect with other Prepared Puppy Parents, and learn more about raising a well-rounded Goldendoodle puppy.
Step 5: Puppy Selection Day (4 Weeks Old)
• Families officially Match with their puppy in reservation order.
• This is when families really begin feeling connected to THEIR puppy.
Step 6: TD Fam Socialization Day (6 Weeks Old)
• Families are invited to Twilight Doodles either in person.
• While you’ll absolutely spend time with your own puppy, this day is intentionally hands-on and focused on helping socialize the entire litter.
• Families participate in positive exposure activities including new people, handling exercises, scents, textures, objects, sounds, and gentle confidence-building challenges.
• This is also an opportunity to learn more about normal puppy behavior, engagement, confidence building, and early development.
• You aren’t just meeting the puppies that day. You’re helping shape them.
Step 7: Take Your Puppy Home (8 Weeks Old)
• Transfer Microchip and GANA Registration into your name.
• Puppy Go-Home Day! 🐾

Chocolate Goldendoodles Ready to Go Home June 19th!
I currently have several solid chocolate puppies from Olivia and Dutton available. This pairing is known for producing rich, dark chocolate coats with very little fading and the soft, wavy coats so many families love.
What truly makes these puppies special, though, is their temperament. Olivia puppies consistently grow into affectionate, easygoing companions who adore their people. They tend to be wonderful with children and fit beautifully into family life.
If you’re looking for a loyal best friend wrapped in a gorgeous chocolate coat, I’d love to introduce you to this litter.
