        We prefer to match pups with families. Cockapoos are very people oriented and flexible to most any situation – however - there are minor variations that may make a certain pup a better fit for your family. We post a current picture since that is an integral part of a decision for many people, but please let us work with you for the best temperament and any other special needs you may have.

        Birdwalk puppies are high in demand, and therefore there is a waiting list. When you have seriously made a decision to become a Birdwalk owner, there is a waitlist fee of $150 for a cockapoo and $200 for a labradoodle to be placed on the waiting list (which is applied to the purchase price of the puppy). This fee is non-refundable and indicates your good faith in entering into a sales contract. Once a puppy has been matched with you it no longer is considered for placement with any other family and is maintained and socialized in accordance with the full plan of coming to spend its life in your home. The wait list fee is reasonable fee-for-service for the time and effort spent in matching and tailoring puppy personalities with desires and families, and eliminating that puppy from other potential sale.  Wait list fee may be paid via paypal – check – post office money order or western union money order.

        Payments to be made Pay to the Order of: Lucile Bailey, and sent via US Postal Service to: PO Box 1084, Crossville, TN 38557 via Express mail (1-2 day mail) to insure delivery tracking, and please be sure to waive any signature required for delivery since we may not make town during post office hours.  The farm is 1/2 mile off the road so this process for USPS makes for much safer, faster, secure postal delivery. (USPS is preferred but, if you do need to use Fed Ex, UPS or currier please check with us for a street address to use since these will not deliver to a post office box). We will mark a pup as pending for you allowing normal mailing time.  Canadian buyers must use Western Union or a US  bank or postal Money Order . Birdwalk Farm is fully able and equipped to ship to Canada with proper notice. We'll be happy to serve Canadian Cockapoo lovers.

        Pups must be 50 percent paid for at 4 weeks of age, and paid in full plus shipping by 6 weeks of age. Pups already born when they are selected/matched with you require 50 percent deposit. The last payment must be by US Postal Money Order, (*post office takes cash or debit card only) western union Money orders may be ordered online via Western Union.  (No other forms of payment past 4 weeks of age are accepted unless specifically arranged in advance).  If you prefer to use a personal check then pup must be paid in full by 4 weeks of age. Pups being picked up here rather than shipped can be paid for at time of pick-up in cash.

        This policy is in the puppies' best interests, as circumstances have happened in the past where decisions have been reversed at final sale time, resulting in delays in placing pups in their new homes during the optimum bonding times in development, as well as delayed the availability of these puppies to others on the waiting list eager for a new addition to their family. We do of course understand that individual cases may vary and considerations may be made in individual cases as long as steady open communication is maintained.

        Puppies should be placed with you around 8 weeks of age. After that pups staying over 8 weeks by buyer's choice will be assessed $50 per week board/continuing care charges;  this will include continued vaccinations and beginning house/crate training/socialization and general life experience. Some folks opt to have the pup stay over for the house training aspect.  We also offer beginning obedience for these pups also. Basic leash training is started for a fee of $100.

        Orders for pups are filled by order of date requested; no repeat orders are needed once you have been placed on the waiting list. Everybody on the list is notified of all new pups unspoken for, that may be of any interest to them so they have the option of changing their minds on color/sex to get a puppy sooner than the original expected date.  (Please note that waiting list fees are different than deposits, and are not refundable if you decide later on that you do not want a puppy - please see the info about deposits and waiting list fees described here ).

        Birdwalk offers with every puppy an in-writing 2 year warranty against life-threatening congenital defect, as well as a record of what vaccinations have been given and when the next ones should be administered by your own vet.  You are also provided with a wide range of information on training and raising, in addition to our being available for questions and support (by email) as needed.  Puppies come to you with starter food, a toy they are used to, and additional support. Food and toy to start – and more…
