Sage Puppies is Cassie Milar’s program in South Jordan, Utah, offering Havanese, Havapoo and Cavapoo puppies. Start with the individual puppy and your routine, then plan the journey home. Sage’s general puppy purchase range is **$3,500–$4,500**. Each puppy’s listing gives its exact price; travel costs and guardian-home arrangements are separate. Read [Pricing & Reservation](https://sagepuppies.com/pricing-reservation/) and [How It Works](https://sagepuppies.com/our-program/how-it-works/) before making a commitment.

A breed label does not settle how a young dog will handle your workday, children, grooming or a new environment. - **Havanese:** discuss daily company, handling and the coat-care routine you can maintain. [Explore the Havanese guide](https://sagepuppies.com/breeds/havanese/) . - **Havapoo:** this Havanese–Poodle cross calls for individual questions about coat, activity and care needs. [Explore the Havapoo guide](https://sagepuppies.com/breeds/havapoo/) . - **Cavapoo:** this Cavalier King Charles Spaniel–Poodle cross deserves the same careful review of the puppy, parents and household fit. [Explore the Cavapoo guide](https://sagepuppies.com/breeds/cavapoo/) . For all three, ask what the puppy’s current routine looks like and what care will need continuing at home. Discuss grooming with a professional who can assess the actual coat. If allergies are a concern, discuss the household’s needs before choosing; a breed name cannot promise an allergy-free home. ## Check the home the puppy will actually live in Arizona planning needs more detail than “we have a yard.” Walk the route between the puppy’s resting space and its toileting area, decide who will help during working hours and account for the conditions at your address. These household examples can help you start that conversation: - **A desert apartment:** a Phoenix-area household may have shared stairs, an exposed walkway or a common dog area. Plan how an adult will reach a suitable potty spot and ask the puppy’s veterinarian about shared-space exposure. - **A desert home with a yard:** a Tucson household should check shade along the whole route, not only beside the back door. Review gate latches, fenced boundaries and who provides midday care. - **A higher-elevation home:** a Flagstaff household should prepare sheltered access for changing seasons and allow flexibility when travel conditions change. The [AVMA’s warm-weather guidance](https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/pet-owners/petcare/warm-weather-pet-safety) covers water, hot surfaces and activity planning. The [ADOT winter guide](https://azdot.gov/about/transportation-safety/severe-weather/know-snow-and-ice) is a reminder that Arizona travel can also involve snow and ice. Our [Arizona weather preparation guide](https://sagepuppies.com/choosing-a-heat-tolerant-puppy-breed-for-arizona-summers/) turns these concerns into a practical home checklist. ## Review the program and records before reserving Learn about [Sage’s program](https://sagepuppies.com/our-program/) and its [health-testing approach](https://sagepuppies.com/about/health-testing/) . Ask to review the records relevant to the puppy and its parents, rather than treating a general description as proof of every screening result. Read the actual [health guarantee](https://sagepuppies.com/health-guarantee/) and purchase terms. - Who will provide company, care and supervised handling during the first week? - What food, rest, toileting and grooming routine is the puppy currently following? - Which puppy-care records and parent-screening results can you review? - Which purchase, readiness and travel details must be confirmed before plans are booked? ![Sage Puppies breeder holding a red and white Havapoo puppy](https://sagepuppies.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/what-to-ask-before-buying-a-puppy-sage-puppies-utah.jpg) A Sage Puppies program photograph of a woman holding a red and white Havapoo puppy. Current availability appears in the live profiles above. ## Plan homecoming after the match is discussed Sage is based in Utah. An Arizona destination does not establish a local Sage pickup location or a particular delivery route. Use the [Utah-to-Arizona homecoming checklist](https://sagepuppies.com/arizona-puppy-pickup-checklist-for-first-time-dog-buyers/) to discuss the arrangement actually available for the puppy, including travel paperwork and who will receive it. When you are ready, start the [puppy application](https://sagepuppies.com/application/) and describe your Arizona location, household schedule, other pets and care plan. Share questions about a specific puppy or breed with [Sage Puppies](https://sagepuppies.com/contact/) . A clear description of daily life helps make the next conversation useful.
