Ask which evidence supports the answers, clarify the written terms before paying and make the receiving plan practical for your home. Sage Puppies is Cassie Milar’s South Jordan, Utah program, founded in 2025. We offer Havanese, Havapoo and Cavapoo. Oregon families can describe their household and discuss an individual match with Cassie while considering a possible journey from Utah. ## Start with current puppies, price and the purchase process Sage’s general puppy purchase range is **$3,500–$4,500**. Confirm the particular puppy’s price with Cassie. Travel and continuing care are separate; guardian arrangements have their own terms. Read [Pricing & Reservation](https://sagepuppies.com/pricing-reservation/) and [How It Works](https://sagepuppies.com/our-program/how-it-works/) before committing. [See available puppies](https://sagepuppies.com/available-puppies/) [Start your application](https://sagepuppies.com/application/) Open the [available puppies](https://sagepuppies.com/available-puppies/) and read an individual profile. Listings can change, so ask about the puppy’s current status, records and possible fit. If your preferred breed has no current listing, discuss future plans. An [application](https://sagepuppies.com/application/) starts the conversation; it does not reserve a puppy or establish a go-home date. ![Three adults and a girl kneel beside a long-eared brown-and-white adult dog and several puppies in an indoor pen.](https://sagepuppies.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/ai-image-1787835017217-o5wcch.webp) AI-generated buyer illustration; the people, dogs and room are not verified Sage families, puppies or premises.

Match those details across the profile, agreement and veterinary records. If a microchip number is supplied, ask how it is verified and registered. Have the issuer explain an unclear or inconsistent entry before moving forward. Ask for the examination date, findings, disclosed concerns, vaccination and treatment history, and follow-up advice. Share readable copies with your receiving veterinarian and ask what care remains due. Keep the issuer’s details accessible so a missing entry can be clarified. A photograph or a clinic name alone cannot establish the complete history. ## Read named-parent screening separately from the puppy’s exam A named parent’s screening, a DNA report and the puppy’s own examination answer different questions. Ask which reports exist, which dog each identifies, who issued it and what its findings mean. Review [Health Testing](https://sagepuppies.com/about/health-testing/) before discussing the actual records with Cassie. Connect each report to the named dog and date. Ask the issuing professional about unclear findings or limitations. Screening cannot establish every future health outcome. The puppy’s individual care records and receiving examination still matter. Read [Early Development](https://sagepuppies.com/about/early-development/) and ask which experiences this puppy has had, what Cassie has observed repeatedly and what your family will continue. Describe children, other pets and the actual care schedule so those questions concern your home. ## Compare three breeds with your Oregon household - [Havanese](https://sagepuppies.com/breeds/havanese/) : ask about companionship, settling, handling and the coat-care routine your household can maintain. - [Havapoo](https://sagepuppies.com/breeds/havapoo/) : discuss the named Havanese and Poodle parents and this puppy’s play, handling and coat. Puppies within a litter can differ. - [Cavapoo](https://sagepuppies.com/breeds/cavapoo/) : ask about the named Cavalier and Poodle parents, individual activity, rest and response to everyday handling. Oregon households have different access and weather needs. [NOAA’s state climate summary](https://statesummaries.ncics.org/chapter/or/) describes wetter cool seasons west of the Cascades and generally drier central and eastern areas with wider temperature variation. Explain your actual supervised toilet route, indoor rest area and daily caregiver coverage. A breed label cannot guarantee adult size, temperament, easy coat maintenance or an allergy outcome. ## Clarify written terms and responsible communication Before paying, read the seller’s identity, the specific puppy, actual price, deposit or reservation conditions, timing and each party’s responsibilities. Ask what happens if plans change or a concern arises before homecoming. Read any guarantee, return or refund provisions in the actual agreement and resolve material questions before committing. Assess whether answers are specific, consistent with the records and clear about what remains unknown. A quick reply or a video conversation cannot prove every claim. Ask who handles follow-up questions and which arrangements are agreed in writing. Keep the relevant agreement and records accessible. ## Prepare receiving care and the next step Name the adult responsible for meals, toilet opportunities, supervision, rest and gentle handling. Agree on a backup caregiver before a workday or household disruption occurs. Choose a receiving veterinary practice and arrange the first appointment according to the agreement and veterinary advice. Use [the Oregon homecoming guide](https://sagepuppies.com/oregon-puppies-choosing-between-pickup-and-home-delivery/) for current state-entry questions, feasible pickup or delivery discussions and a delay plan. Read [rainy-day puppy care for Oregon homes](https://sagepuppies.com/how-to-keep-your-new-oregon-puppy-dry-during-rainy-pickup/) to prepare supervised access, cleanup and weather backup. Discuss [Delivery & Pickup](https://sagepuppies.com/delivery-and-pickup/) with Cassie before booking.
