Policies &
Agreements.
All governing policies for Stokeshire Designer Doodles are documented here. By submitting a deposit, purchasing a puppy, or using this website, you agree to the terms below. These documents are legally binding under the U.S. E-SIGN Act and Wisconsin UETA.
Terms of Service +
Purchase Agreement
By proceeding, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province, that you are legally competent to enter into a binding contract, and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.
Stokeshire reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, for any reason — including if a family is determined not to be a suitable match for a puppy in our program.
We offer puppies and related services — including Doodle School, Bootcamp, transport, and boarding — based on availability. While we strive to meet family preferences, we cannot guarantee specific size, coat type, color, markings, temperament outcomes, pickup timelines, or maturity readiness.
All puppy descriptions, projected timelines, and anticipated traits are estimates subject to natural variation. We may limit or decline placements based on geography, household fit, or breeder discretion.
- Deposits are $500 + applicable tax and non-refundable after confirmed breeding (live cover or AI documented by veterinary or breeder records)
- Deposits placed after a litter has been born are immediately non-refundable
- Sales tax is non-refundable and remitted directly to the State of Wisconsin
- Remaining puppy balance is due at least 72 hours prior to your go-home date — failure to pay may result in forfeiture of deposit and placement
- All card payments include a standard processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30
Selection appointments are scheduled in official waitlist order. All selections are provisional until checkout is complete.
Stokeshire retains Breeder's Choice — we may hold back any puppy for our breeding program, guardian home placement, health or medical considerations, or therapy and service animal placement.
We reserve the right to skip, delay, or reassign a family's selection if they are unresponsive, miss deadlines, or are determined to be unsuitable for the available puppy at time of selection.
Stokeshire uses intentional breeding practices informed by Embark genetic testing and Volhard temperament assessment. We cannot, however, guarantee specific outcomes related to adult size or weight, coat texture or curl pattern, color or markings, temperament or behavioral outcomes, or shedding level and allergen tolerance.
By placing a deposit, you acknowledge and accept these natural variations as inherent to living animals.
The following policies are each legally binding and govern the relevant aspect of your relationship with Stokeshire.
Stokeshire may link to third-party websites or service providers, including trainers, transport services, and nutrition partners. We are not liable for their content, performance, quality, or claims. Use of any third-party service is at your discretion and subject to that provider's own terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin. All legal claims or disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of Taylor County, WI. By accepting these Terms, you agree to attempt good-faith mediation before initiating litigation, reimburse Stokeshire for reasonable attorney's fees if we prevail, and contact us in writing before pursuing any chargeback or payment dispute.
By using this website, submitting a deposit, or purchasing a puppy or service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms; that you accept all incorporated policies as legally binding; and that you understand this agreement is enforceable under the U.S. E-SIGN Act and Wisconsin Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).
Reservation &
Refund Policy
A reservation deposit is $500 plus applicable tax and reserves your place in the official selection order for a planned or current litter.
- Before confirmed breeding — live cover or artificial insemination documented by veterinary or breeder records — your deposit is refundable at 90% of the deposit amount. The remainder covers administrative and processing costs.
- After confirmed breeding, deposits are non-refundable.
- Deposits placed after a litter has been born are immediately non-refundable.
- Sales tax is non-refundable and is remitted directly to the State of Wisconsin.
A deposit may be transferred one time to another Stokeshire litter within 24 months of the original deposit date. Transferred deposits remain subject to this policy and take the waitlist position available on the receiving litter at the time of transfer.
The balance of your puppy's placement is due at least 72 hours before your go-home date. Failure to pay by that deadline may result in forfeiture of your deposit and placement. Card payments include a standard processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30.
Terms covering your puppy's health guarantee, veterinary examination, and return provisions are set out in your Purchase Agreement and our Health Guarantee, which you receive before any payment beyond the deposit.
Doodle School and Bootcamp enrollments are non-refundable once your puppy's training start date is scheduled. Program fees reserve dedicated trainer time and a place in a limited cohort.
If a medical or breeding circumstance on our side prevents your puppy from beginning the program, your enrollment is refunded in full or transferred to a later start, at your choice.
A Stokeshire dog is always welcome home. We accept the return of any dog we have placed, at any point in its life, without judgment. Returns are without refund, and rehoming outside of Stokeshire without our written consent is governed by our Returns & Rehoming Policy.
If you believe a charge is in error or a refund is owed, write to hello@wisconsindesignerdoodles.com before initiating a payment dispute. You agree not to initiate a chargeback in contradiction of these terms. Disputes are governed by the Terms of Service, including good-faith mediation and Taylor County, Wisconsin jurisdiction.
We would rather answer a hard question now than surprise you later.
This policy governs refund eligibility for all Stokeshire deposits, placements, and training programs. It is incorporated into the Terms of Service and is binding on deposit. Where this summary and your signed Purchase Agreement differ, the Purchase Agreement governs.
