Our Application Process

At Aspen Mountain Doodles, we do things a little differently—with purpose.

Our top priority is helping each family find a puppy that truly fits their lifestyle. We take a thoughtful, temperament-based approach to matching, rather than a first-come, first-served model.

Each puppy is temperament tested at 7 weeks (day 50). We carefully evaluate their personalities and use specialized software to suggest the best type of home for each pup. Families on our waitlist receive the test results and videos to review. Based on this information, you’ll be able to choose a puppy that aligns with your family’s energy, experience, and goals.

Selections are made in order of deposit, and families are contacted individually when it’s their turn. If none of the puppies in the current litter feel like the right fit, your deposit can be transferred to a future litter.
