The Stokeshire Investment — Stokeshire Designer Doodles
Stokeshire Designer Doodles

A considered Investment

The Stokeshire investment is not a price.
It is the natural expression of a standard —
held without apology, and built for a decade.

The Three Paths
Why We Price This Way

The investment reflects
the uncompromised
standard.

Stokeshire puppies are not priced as one-off purchases. They are placed through a boutique program designed around early-life formation, emotional regulation, and long-term family integration.

By the time a Stokeshire puppy arrives in your home, years of health testing, thoughtful genetics, and deliberate formation have already shaped who they are.

We do not compete on price. We compete on outcome. The family who understands that is the family we are looking for.

The Three Paths

Three ways to bring a
Stokeshire dog home.

Each path reflects a different level of preparation and investment. All three begin with the same uncompromised foundation.

I

Core
Placement

The foundation, complete.

A Stokeshire puppy, health-tested and genetically screened, placed into your home with full program documentation, lifetime support, and the Stokeshire standard of care from conception to go-home day.

You collect your puppy in person at Stokeshire in Medford, Wisconsin, or at CWA — Central Wisconsin Airport.

Planning Range $4,000 – $6,500+ Standard breeds & sizes · Toy add-on: $1,000
II

The Stokeshire
Method™

Formation included. Delivered to you.

Core placement plus Doodle School — our four-week early-life formation program built on the Stokeshire Method™. Foundational routine, confidence, and emotional regulation shaped before your puppy ever arrives.

Most families also add hand-delivery: your puppy travels in-cabin with a Stokeshire flight nanny to a major airport near you.

This is the path most Stokeshire families choose.

Planning Range $9,000 – $15,000+ Placement + Formation + Delivery · Sales tax applies in WI
III

Breeder's
Choice

The puppy we would have kept.

On occasion, when our program is already fulfilled or a litter produces more than one standout, we release a Breeder's Choice puppy — the one identified as a top candidate for our own breeding program.

Exceptional conformation. Stable, people-focused temperament. Highly desirable coat and markings. Evaluated at the highest tier of every litter.

Breeder's Choice placements are first offered to families and ethical breeders already on our approved list.

Premium Placement By inquiry Pricing varies · Typically up to 2× standard placement
What You Are Investing In

Every placement
comprises all of this.

The Stokeshire investment is not a puppy price with add-ons. It is a program — and every element of that program has been considered, tested, and refined in service of one outcome: a dog that elevates a family's daily life for a decade.

I

Health Architecture

Before your puppy is born

Comprehensive health testing on both parent dogs. OFA clearances, genetic panel screening, cardiac and ophthalmologic evaluation. This work begins years before your puppy exists.

II

The Stokeshire Method™

Early-life formation program

Four weeks of structured early-life formation: neurological stimulation, sensory exposure, foundational routine, and emotional regulation built before habits form. The Method is the difference between a dog you manage and a dog that integrates.

III

Lifelong Partnership

The breeder does not disappear

Lifetime return guarantee. Ongoing breeder access. Program documentation. You are joining a community — not completing a transaction. We remain invested in the dog we placed in your home.

IV

Genetic Integrity

Predictability by design

Deliberate pairings for structural soundness, coat predictability, and temperament stability. Every breeding decision is made with the next decade in mind, not the next litter.

V

White-Glove Delivery

Hand-delivered, in-cabin

Your puppy travels in-cabin with a Stokeshire flight nanny — never in cargo, never unaccompanied. We quote your exact route before you commit. Delivery to major airports throughout the U.S.

VI

The Stokeshire Standard

The thing that cannot be itemized

Selective placement. Thoughtful matching. A breeder who answers the phone three years from now. The accumulated weight of doing this properly, without shortcut, for every family — including yours.

The Stokeshire Method™

Formation &
Delivery

Doodle School is early-life formation: four weeks of structured daily work beginning on go-home day. Foundational routine, confidence, and emotional regulation — built before your puppy ever arrives in your home.

Extended Bootcamp is available for families who want additional preparation, or whose timelines require it. Duration and goals are set together during your consultation.

Hand-delivery is available throughout the United States. Your puppy travels in-cabin, accompanied by a Stokeshire flight nanny, to a major airport near you.

Global Placement

A Stokeshire dog,
wherever home is.

Stokeshire families live across the United States and beyond. Geography has never changed the standard — only the logistics.

At this level of placement, a family in London or Singapore or Dubai does not choose less — they simply require a process that is managed with the same care as the placement itself.

We have placed Stokeshire dogs internationally. Every export is managed with full documentation, veterinary certification, and personal accompaniment. Your puppy travels in-cabin. It does not travel in cargo.

We manage the paperwork.
We advise the timeline.
We accompany the dog.
You simply prepare the home.

Destination-specific requirements — rabies timing, microchip standards, USDA endorsements, import permits — vary by country. We advise the correct checklist once your route is confirmed, well in advance of go-home day.

Canada $1,000 – $1,300 est. $800 flight nanny + airline pet fee + add-ons. Typically no USDA endorsement required. Most straightforward international route.
EU · UK · Australia · New Zealand $1,150 – $1,600 est. $800 flight nanny + airline pet fee + documentation add-ons. USDA APHIS endorsement typically required. Strict rabies timing and microchip standards apply. We advise the full checklist early.
Middle East · Asia · All Other Destinations By inquiry Requirements vary significantly by destination. Import permits, quarantine protocols, and documentation timelines differ by country. We will advise the complete process specific to your location before you commit.
