We can talk you through if we believe a Groodle best suits your individual, family and/or organisational needs. It’s important to us that you have enough information to help you make this big decision, as it is a commitment to accepting and loving a new family member into your life.

After we have discussed the process with you and you feel you would like to commit to purchase a puppy, it’s time to fill out our online Puppy Application form. This allows us to gather information about your contact details, the lifestyle you lead and your puppy preferences. Please only complete this form if you would like to proceed, and feel that all of your questions and/or concerns have been answered.

After receiving your application, Stacey will give you a personal call for a friendly meet-and-greet chat about your family, lifestyle, and what you’re looking for in your future puppy. This helps us get to know you and ensures every Gold Coast Groodle is matched with the right home — because the care and wellbeing of our puppies always come first.

Following your chat with Stacey, you’ll receive an email confirmation summarising the conversation and outlining your next steps.

To secure your position on the waitlist, and to confirm that you’re genuinely committed to welcoming a Gold Coast Groodle into your family, we ask for a non-refundable Administration Fee of AU $500.00.

This fee lets us plan responsibly for future litters, knowing how many loving families are ready and waiting. It also supports the time, care, and communication involved in raising and placing our puppies - from early socialisation and veterinary care to preparing our families for handover day.

In accordance with Queensland breeder regulations and Australian Consumer Law, this Administration Fee is non-refundable, even if your decision or circumstances change. However, it will be credited towards the final purchase price of your puppy once your match is confirmed and accepted.

We completely understand that timing is important when bringing a puppy home. If you’re not ready when your turn comes, your Administration Fee can be transferred to a later litter, and we’ll happily help you find the perfect time and puppy to suit your family.

Once your Administration Fee has been received, we’ll confirm your waitlist number and keep you updated as litters arrive. For example, in a litter of eight, the first eight families on the waitlist will be offered puppies in that order. If a litter is smaller, priority follows the same sequence.

Please note that a waitlist place is only confirmed once your Administration Fee and application form has been received. We’ll stay in touch with updates (mating/pregnancy), photos, and all the information you’ll need as you prepare to welcome your new family member.

Waitlist FAQs

Why do you ask for an Administration Fee?
The Administration Fee confirms your genuine commitment to adopting from us, which allows us to plan our future litters responsibly. It also supports the care, preparation, and communication that go into raising our puppies and matching them with the right families.

Can I move my Administration Fee to a later litter?
Yes, absolutely. We know that timing is everything. If life changes or you’d like to wait for a future litter, your Administration Fee can simply be transferred to the next one.

When will I be matched with a puppy?
We give an indication at time of phone call of time period in which we believe your puppy will be welcomed. We are working with living beings and so this is not an exact science, flexibility MUST be given. We match puppies to families based on temperament, lifestyle, and readiness. Once a litter is born, families are contacted in order of their waitlist position to confirm their puppy.

What if there aren’t enough puppies in a litter?
If a litter is smaller than expected, families further down the list automatically roll over to the next available litter.

Your administration fee goes towards the full purchase price of AU$5,500 for a solid coat colour, or AU$6,500 for specialty marked coat colours such as Merle, Parti or Phantom coats. The remaining balance is due when you pick up your new companion, or if your puppy is flying interstate, it is due 3 business days before the flight. Your administration fee is non-refundable, however transferable to a future litter. Please be assured, our puppies come from top-quality bloodlines and receive the best care possible. From their living environment to the food they eat, we spare no expense in ensuring your Groodle is healthy, happy, well-socialised and Veterinary checked.

At six weeks old, it's time to allocate our precious puppies to their new homes! This is a thorough and careful process that we do in collaboration with you. We take into consideration many factors when choosing which puppy is most suitable for your home. For instance, we consider the coat type for allergy sufferers, temperament, activity level of the pup, and of course, your preferences as a buyer. We get to know each of our puppies intimately from birth. With regular handling and observation of litter dynamics and puppy temperament, we gain valuable insights into their unique personalities and tendencies. When it comes time to allocate your new furry friend, we'll have all the information we need, paired with your puppy application, to make the best possible match for you and your family.
