Why we do not recommend buying a puppy from CrockettDoodles.com
CrockettDoodles.com The Crockett Doodles website claims they sell family raised puppies. They lists dozens and dozens of doodle puppies for sale of every kind and size imaginable. They have Aussiedoodle puppies, Bernedoodle puppies, Cavachon puppies, Cavapoo puppies, Cockapoo puppies, Goldendoodle puppies, Irishdoodle puppies, Labradoodle puppies, Maltipoo puppies, Newfiedoodle and Saint Berdoodles puppies, Sheepadoodles puppies, Springerdoodles (Sproodles) puppies, Swiss Doodle puppies and even Yorkipoos. That is a lot of dogs!
Not only that, but they have also at least ten other “sister” or “partner” websites selling doodle and poo puppies as well. These “sister” or “partner” websites are landing pages of sorts for the specific doodle mix you are interested in, then it redirects you to CrockettDoodles.com at checkout. CrockettDoodles.com sells their puppies one way but they “market” they puppies on at least ten other websites.
We consider CrockettDoodles.com along with all of their “sister” or “partner” websites to be high-volume online puppy sellers and we do not recommend buying puppies from CrockettDoodles.com. Crockett Doodles direct ships puppies and uses USDA amish dog breeders as Guardian families. The website uses the words “adopt” and “adoption” when you are actually buying the puppy and shelling out thousands to do so.
The day you pay for the dog is called “adoption day” maybe to make you feel good about the transaction of paying thousands of dollars for an animal you have never met and are not allowed to see where it was born but will have for 15 plus years.
As stated on their website, the costs of their puppies’ range in the $2,500-$4,000 which does not include the extra costs and delivery charges.
Speaking of delivery, they will ship a puppy by ground delivery or flight nanny anywhere is the contiguous United States. We consider the shipping and delivery of puppies in these manners red flags.
Crockett Doodles will let you pick up your puppy in person at a pickup location, but you are not allowed to go to the breeder’s “home” and meet the mother dog or see where your puppy was born. This is a huge red flag. In fact, we asked specific questions about the breeding dogs, how old and how many litters and they would not tell us anything.
They decide which dog to match you up with from the checklist submitted by you the interested puppy buyer. They then send you a match and you decide from a picture if you will accept it.
We do not recommend buying a puppy based off a picture ever and we never recommend buying a puppy from a website. The CrockettDoodles.com website is no exception.
There are other red flags on their website that we don’t like but for the following reasons alone, we do not recommend buying a puppy from CrockettDoodles.com. Crockett Doodles uses USDA Amish dog breeders as Guardian “families.”
They have up to 15 different dog breeds listed for sale at any one time, they list dozens and dozens of puppies for sale at any one time, they are not transparent about who the breeder of your puppy is before you buy it, nor will not let you go to the breeder’s home to see where your puppy was born.
Lastly, they ship and deliver puppies all over the U.S. We do not recommend buying a puppy from the CrockettDoodles.com website. There are too many red flags.

FAQ’s About Buying Puppies Online From CrockettDoodles.com
We do not recommend buying a puppy listed for sale on the CrockettDoodles.com website.
Buying a puppy from an online breeder is risky. We do not endorse websites like Crockett Doodles that list hundreds and hundreds of puppies for sale online each year. There are too many risks to buying puppies online.
Dogs live for 14 plus years, and it is important to see firsthand where it was born. Crockett Doodles states on their website they do not allow you to visit the breeders home and see where your puppy was born.
As we said, this alone is a red flag. It’s important to pick your puppy up in person, meet the mother dog, see her mental and physical condition. She should be clean, happy, and well adjusted. Buying a puppy based on a picture is risky. They want you to trust them with your hard-earned money, yet they are not transparent. Why?
We do not recommend buying a puppy based off a picture ever.
It is not safe to buy any dog online, nor do we suggest having the puppy shipped to you by truck, air, nanny or even meeting the breeder halfway or in a parking lot. If you are not able to pick up the puppy in person, see the mother dog and where she and all of the breeder’s dogs live, you might be supporting a puppy mill.
Crockett Doodles talks a lot about the different type homes and “guardian” families that supply their puppies, but they are very general. We do know that CrockettDoodles.com uses USDA Amish commercial dog breeders to supply their doodles. That alone is a red flag.
They state on their website that they used to let people go to the breeder’s home and meet the mother dog but they are too high volume now to allow that and too busy to arrange it so it is no longer an option. We consider this excuse a giant red flag.
Crockett Doodles will not let you know the name and address of your breeder until your puppy has been delivered nor do they answer questions about the mother of the puppy you are buying.
Puppy mills are any dog breeder that puts profit over the health and well-being of the breeding dogs and puppies produced. These breeders vary in size from small breeders — ten to twenty dogs — to very large breeders that have hundreds of breeding dogs.
Puppy mills are legal, and some are licensed by the USDA. To maximize profit, female dogs are kept pregnant, bred at every heat cycle to produce as many puppies as possible. The breeding dogs are usually kept in wire cages, many times stacked. The breeding dogs are not groomed, they are not given opportunity to exercise, nor do they know the touch of a loving hand.
They are denied basic veterinary care, and most are living and breeding with painful conditions such as urinary tract infections, ear infections, rotten teeth, infected eyes, tumors, infected mammary glands, and sore feet from standing on wire cage floors — that never get addressed. It is important to know that any breeder can be a puppy mill. It’s hard to imagine the breeder you are talking or texting with could be a puppy mill.
If the breeder has excuses why they won’t let you see where they keep the breeding dogs or you are not able to meet the mother dog in person, we suggest you find another breeder.
