Louisiana families
Smeraglia bred the world’s first English Goldendoodles in 1999. Today Louisiana families bring our puppies home from our family farm in Robertsdale, Alabama by Au Pair Air, with a nanny who flies your puppy to your airport. Families can also meet us at the airport or on the farm. Here is how it works, and which size fits your family.
From our Alabama farm to your Louisiana home, in four steps.
Your application tells us about your family. At seven weeks every puppy is temperament tested, and we match the puppy to your home, not first come, first served.
Our puppies go home between 8 and 10 weeks old, depending on their size. Our team will confirm each puppy’s specific go-home date. If you choose Prep School first, your puppy goes home after training (1 to 16 weeks).
Au Pair Air: a nanny flies with your puppy in the cabin to your airport. Lauren can fly into most U.S. domestic airports.
Meet your puppy where your delivery brings it, or come to us: we can meet you at Pensacola International or Mobile Regional airport, or at New Orleans airport (MSY), and we’d love to welcome you to our farm in Robertsdale, Alabama.
On the farm, visits are by appointment. Please plan airport meetings and farm visits with our team before booking flights.
Choosing the right puppy is about much more than size. We consider your lifestyle, activity level, household, experience with dogs and what you hope life with your puppy will look like. Each size links to its puppies.
