For professionals
Doodle & Poodle puppies for busy professionals
Looking for a Doodle or Poodle while managing a demanding professional schedule? We keep the process clear, practical and straightforward — from current availability and puppy details to health records, temperament notes and collection arrangements.
This page is not a different offer
The puppies, the process and the prices here are exactly the same as they are for everyone else. Your profession does not move you up a list, change what a puppy costs, or make a puppy available that otherwise would not be. There is no professional discount and no priority queue, because neither would be honest.
What this page does is answer the questions that come up most often when your working hours are long and unpredictable — what you can find out before committing time to a visit, how much of the process can happen over a message, and what a puppy will genuinely need from you once it is home.
Practicalities
Designed for a busy schedule
None of this is special handling. It is simply how the process already works, described for someone who needs to know what it will cost them in time.
-
01
Clear puppy information
Breed or cross, age, sex and coat for the specific puppy, rather than a general description of the type. If something is not known, we say it is not known.
-
02
Availability when you ask
What is genuinely here changes week to week. Ask and you get the current position, including when the honest answer is that nothing suitable is available.
-
03
One person, one number
Abhishek Goyal answers the phone and the WhatsApp messages. You will not be handed between people or asked to repeat yourself.
-
04
Records you can read first
Whatever records exist for that puppy — typically its vaccination record, deworming schedule and any veterinary check notes — are shown to you before you decide, and handed over with the puppy.
-
05
A video call before a visit
If you cannot get across town on a weekday, ask for a live video call with the actual puppy. It is not a substitute for meeting it, but it saves a wasted trip.
-
06
Collection planned around you
Visits and collection are by appointment, so a time is agreed rather than assumed. What collection involves.
Every puppy is different, and so is every home. Nothing here is a guarantee that a suitable puppy will be available when you happen to be ready.
Legal professionals
For lawyers and legal professionals
Court dates move, hearings overrun and a free hour is rarely a predictable hour. That affects the buying process more than most people expect.
The practical consequence is that you will want to do as much as possible before setting aside time to travel. Most of it can be done in a message thread: what is available now, the age and sex of a particular puppy, photographs, its records, and one clear price for that puppy. By the time you visit, the only open question should be whether you and the puppy suit each other.
The other consequence is worth being blunt about. A puppy cannot be left alone for a full working day, and the first few weeks are the most demanding part. If your week is genuinely unpredictable, the useful conversation is not which puppy — it is whether there is someone at home, and what happens on the days you are in court until seven. We would rather have that conversation than sell you a puppy that ends up alone.
Senior professionals
For judges and other senior professionals
The same practical questions apply, and the answers do not change with seniority.
If your time is heavily committed, the parts of this that matter are: being able to get accurate information without a phone call at an awkward hour, seeing a puppy’s records before you travel, and agreeing a collection time that actually works rather than one that theoretically does. WhatsApp tends to suit this better than calling, because you can read and reply when there is a gap.
Discretion is straightforward here: enquiries are handled by one person, and we do not publish customer names, photographs or stories. That is the standing policy for everyone, not an arrangement offered to anyone in particular.
After the puppy goes home, questions go to the same number and the same person — settling, sleep, toilet routine and feeding in the first weeks. That is the extent of it: practical answers from the person who handed you the puppy, not a support programme.
Before you commit
What you can find out when you enquire
For the specific puppy you are asking about, and only where it genuinely applies:
Breed or cross
Poodle, or a Poodle cross such as a Goldendoodle or Labradoodle.
Age
A date of birth, not an approximation.
Sex
And what, if anything, that changes for your household.
Coat
What it looks like now, and what it will realistically need.
Temperament notes
How that puppy behaves day to day. Observations, not a personality guarantee.
Health and vaccination records
Whatever exists for that puppy, shown before you decide.
Parent information
What is known about the parents. What that tells you.
Collection details
Where, when, and what you should bring.
Price for that puppy
One clear total, and what it does and does not include.
Two honest limits. Adult size and adult temperament cannot be promised for any puppy, least of all a crossbreed — anyone who promises them is guessing. And we do not claim a health guarantee; what you get is the records that exist and the chance to read them first. How to read a puppy’s records.
Before you decide
A puppy should fit your life — not just your schedule.
A demanding job does not rule out owning a dog. It does mean a few things need answering honestly first, ideally before you fall for a particular puppy.
Who is at home?
A puppy cannot be left alone for a full working day. Someone needs to be there, or something needs to be arranged.
Daily care and feeding
Several small meals a day at first, on a routine, not whenever you get in.
Toilet training
Frequent, and it does not pause for a trial. The first weeks need someone present.
Exercise
Short and frequent for a puppy; a proper daily walk for an adult, most days, for a decade or more.
Training and socialisation
Little and often, in the early months. Missing this window is difficult to undo later.
Grooming
Poodle-type coats need brushing several times a week at home and a professional groom every six to eight weeks.
Veterinary care
An ongoing cost and an occasional weekday appointment, sometimes at short notice.
Travel and holidays
Worth settling before you buy rather than after. Who takes the dog when you are away?
If the answers are not there yet, waiting is a perfectly good decision. We will still be here, and so will the next litter.
Step by step
How it actually runs
Six steps, none of them mysterious. You can stop at any point, and no step commits you to the next one.

Photographs, age, sex, coat, temperament notes, records, and one clear price for that puppy.
-

Discuss whether it suits you
In person, or on a live video call first. This is the point where we may suggest a different puppy, or none.
-
05
Plan collection
By appointment, at an agreed time, with the records handed over. What to expect.

FAQ
Questions professionals ask
Can I ask what is available right now?
Yes, and it is the most useful first message. Availability changes week to week, so the available puppies page is dated and the current position is confirmed when you ask. If nothing suitable is here, you will be told that.
Do puppies come with health and vaccination records?
Whatever records exist for that puppy are shown to you before you decide and handed over with the puppy — typically a vaccination record, a deworming schedule and any veterinary check notes. We do not claim a health guarantee, and we would be wary of anyone who does.
Can I ask about a puppy’s temperament?
Yes. What you get is observation of how that puppy behaves day to day — whether it settles, how it reacts to handling and noise, how it is with the others. What nobody can give you is a guarantee of adult temperament, which depends heavily on what happens in your home over the following year.
I cannot get away during the week. Can I see the puppy another way?
Ask for a live video call with the actual puppy, not a forwarded clip. It answers most questions and saves a wasted journey. We would still encourage you to meet the puppy in person before deciding.
How does collection work?
By appointment rather than drop-in, at a time agreed with you, so you get unhurried time instead of arriving in the middle of something. The records are handed over then. The collection page covers what to bring and what the first day looks like.
Can I discuss a puppy before committing to anything?
That is the normal path. Nothing is committed until you say so, and no step obliges you to take the next one. If we think a puppy does not suit your home, we will say so — including when that costs us the sale.
What should someone with long working hours think about first?
Who is at home during the day. That single question decides more than breed, size or coat. A puppy needs feeding, toileting and company through the working day, and the first few weeks are the most demanding. If nobody is there, the answer is either an arrangement you have already made or a decision to wait.
Does my profession change the price or my place in the queue?
No. There is no professional discount, no priority and no reserved access. Prices are quoted per puppy on the same basis for everyone, and a puppy goes to the home that suits it. This page exists to answer practical questions, not to offer different terms.
Can I ask about puppies expected later?
You can ask, and you will get whatever is genuinely known at the time. We do not publish a schedule of future litters, because dates given in advance tend to be wrong and get treated as promises.
