WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS TO GET A PUPPY?
1
Contact List / Reservation List
We accept all families to our email "contact list" which we use to send out our "Pup-date" digital news letter and to keep prospective adoptive families informed about upcoming litters and available puppies. As each family is ready to take their place in line, we secure a *$500 deposit (preferably through Venmo or PayPal) and that family moves to our "reservation list." When the new puppies are around 4-5 weeks old, we will send out an email to everyone on our reservation list and, by order of deposits secured, allow families to choose their puppy companion.
​
Please contact us to be placed on our contact list or if you have any questions about this process. We want it to be an exciting and enjoyable time. We are currently accepting deposits for our reservation list.
​
*Deposits are generally non-refundable except in cases of family emergency and can be deferred to future litters. Refunds are made at the discretion of Bluegrass Puppies.

Pickup and Delivery
It's time to adopt your new Cavapoochon! Puppies will be weaned and ready for adoption around 8-9 weeks old. This is a wonderful time for the family as you welcome the puppy into your home!
​
Before the puppy is picked up or delivered, all adoption fees must be settled. For all payments, we prefer Venmo or cash at delivery but can also do PayPal. We will include with your puppy a small blanket, a training collar, a toy the puppy has learned to love, and a small bag of food, as well as a health and vaccination record.
​
Because it can be traumatic for the puppy, we do not use shipping companies for delivery. We can, however, make arraignments to meet you at an airport near us (Nashville, Louisville, Lexington) or hand-deliver your puppy to you at an airport near your home. (All delivery costs will be the responsibility of the adopting family.)
​
It is a thrill and great responsibility to adopt a puppy. It may be helpful to consult your veterinarian or a good book to assure the best care possible for your new pet.

Healthy Puppy Guarantee
We want to provide a vibrant and healthy puppy to all our adoptive families and use only quality and healthy dams and sires who have been genetically tested and are under the regular care of our local veterinarian. In the unlikely event there is an issue with your puppy, we will work hard to remedy the situation under the following conditions:
-
Each puppy will be vet-checked and up to date on all immunizations and care before adoption.
-
Once received by the adopting family, the puppy should be seen by a local vet to assure safe and healthy arrival (within 7 calendar days). The puppy should be under the regular, routine-based care of your local vet.
-
If, within the first two years of adoption your puppy is found to have a genetic disorder or disease which has been diagnosed by your vet, the puppy should be returned at the owner's expense to Bluegrass Puppies where we will then follow up with our vet.
-
If the genetic disorder or disease is confirmed the 2nd time, the adopting family will be given a new puppy as soon as it is reasonably possible. No refunds will be given. (A copy of both our "Terms of Sale" and "Health/genetic guarantee" are available upon request.)
What Is A Cavapoochon?
The "Cavapoochon" is considered a "designer breed" and has been bred for its superior physical and temperamental qualities. It is not recognized for registration by the American Kennel Club (AKC).
A Cavapoochon is a combination of three breeds. Our dams (female dogs) are Cavachons—a cross of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise, both considered quality family pets. The sire (male dog) is a red Toy Poodle.
The blending of these breeds avoids many of the genetic issues pure breeds have and produces a beautiful house pet with the following desirable traits:
Size: Usually between 10-15 pounds, making them the perfect size.
Hypoallergenic: Ideal for people with allergies due to their low-shedding coats.
Coat: They have a thick, luxurious, and soft coat.
Non-Shedding: Very low shedding, which helps keep homes cleaner.
Temperament: They are happy, friendly, and good with kids and other pets.
Intelligence: Easy to train due to their smart nature.
Adorable: Their cute appearance and puppy-like traits last well into adulthood, earning them the nickname "Forever Puppies."
What Is A Red Toy Poodle?
The "Red Toy Poodle" is a striking and popular variety of the Poodle breed, prized for its vibrant red coat and charming personality. While not recognized as a separate breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC), red Toy Poodles are simply a color variation within the Toy Poodle classification.
A Red Toy Poodle is a small-sized Poodle with a rich, reddish-brown coat. These Poodles are well-loved for their appealing physical and temperamental qualities:
Size: Typically between 6-9 pounds, making them perfect for apartment living and easy to manage.
Hypoallergenic: Their curly, dense coat is hypoallergenic and low-shedding, ideal for allergy sufferers.ntelligent: Poodles are known for their high intelligence, making them quick learners and easy to train.
Affectionate: They form strong bonds with their families and are known for their loving and loyal nature.
