Visit Stokeshire
We’re honored to welcome you to our home and studio near Medford, Wisconsin and introduce you to your future companion. Visits are intentional, by-appointment experiences designed to protect our puppies and give your family space to connect.
Who Can Visit?
- Pick of the Litter families, especially Service, Therapy, or ESA placements.
- Families with puppies enrolled in Doodle School or training programs.
For the safety of our litters and our family, we do not offer public kennel tours or drop-in visits.
Visit Requirements
- Avoid dog parks, pet stores, boarding facilities, and shelters for 2–3 weeks before visiting.
- Remove shoes before entering the studio; handwashing/sanitizer is required.
- Children must be supervised closely and may not open gates or carry puppies without guidance.
- Plan to use the restroom before arriving; we do not have a guest bathroom on-site.
Puppies may be visited only after their first Parvo vaccination (around 6–7 weeks). All visits are by appointment only and confirmed in advance.
What to Know Before You Visit
Young puppies are highly vulnerable to illness, especially Parvo. To protect every litter in our care, we ask all visitors to:
- Avoid high-risk dog environments (parks, daycares, shelters, pet stores) for 2–3 weeks before visiting.
- Remove shoes before entering and use the bleach mat if provided.
- Wash or sanitize hands before interacting with any puppies.
- Supervise children at all times and help them practice gentle, calm handling.
These precautions may feel meticulous, but even a small exposure can put an entire litter at risk. Thank you for helping us keep Stokeshire safe for every pup.
All visits are by appointment only and reserved for pick families and training clients.
- Use the scheduler on this page to request your preferred date and time.
- Confirm that everyone attending can follow our health and safety guidelines.
- Watch for a confirmation email or text from us with final details and directions.
If you have special circumstances (therapy/ESA evaluation, accessibility needs, or travel constraints), please let us know so we can plan appropriately.
On pick-up day, your puppy has already been nurtured, socialized, and gently prepared for this transition. We want the handoff to feel calm, meaningful, and unhurried.
- Arrive at your scheduled time and text your ETA to 715-570-5718.
- You’ll be greeted by the Stokes family or a trained team member at the designated location.
- We’ll walk you through final care notes, feeding schedules, and travel tips for the ride home.
Many families choose to make it a special day — arriving early, taking photos, and giving kids time to ask questions and connect.
