Kensington has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Kensington partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
"We take great care in thoughtfully matching each puppy with the right family. As puppies grow, we closely observe their temperaments and personalities so we can provide informed guidance during the selection process. Once temperaments can be reliably assessed (around 7–8 weeks of age), we begin matching. Families receive our recommendations based on lifestyle, preferences, energy level, family structure, children, other pets, and experience level. Each family ultimately chooses their puppy, with selections made in the order deposits are received. Our goal is to help guide families toward the best possible match while ensuring everyone feels confident and excited about their decision."

"Our Cavapoos are priced between $4,000 and $5,000, depending on coat type, color, and structure. This range reflects the quality, care, and intention behind every puppy we raise. All of our parent dogs are genetically health tested, and we are deeply committed to producing healthy, well-rounded puppies from solid, thoughtfully chosen lines. Each puppy is raised in our home with daily love, early socialization, and enrichment activities tailored to their development. Before going home, puppies receive age-appropriate vaccinations, routine deworming, a vet check, and go home with a health guarantee and a personalized puppy pack to make the transition smooth. We are currently placing all puppies in pet homes only under a spay/neuter agreement, unless otherwise discussed with and approved by us for responsible breeding purposes. We are committed to protecting the future of our lines and only consider breeding homes that align with our values. We’re proud to raise exceptional Cavapoos who are not only beautiful, but healthy, happy, and prepared for life as loving companions. We require a $500 non-refundable deposit to reserve a puppy or secure a spot on our waitlist. This deposit goes toward the total purchase price and ensures that your puppy is held just for you. We take our commitment to each family seriously, and accepting a deposit allows us to plan accordingly while keeping things fair and organized for everyone involved. Deposits are accepted only after an application is approved and we’ve had a chance to connect to ensure it’s the right fit on both sides. Puppies are chosen in the order deposits are received, typically around 5–6 weeks of age, once personalities have started to develop. We’re happy to help guide families toward a puppy that best suits their lifestyle and preferences."
Kensington may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Kensington offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Kensington directly.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Kensington.

🤎Poppy’s Flower Patch💐 Meet Daisy 🌼 Sweet little Daisy is one of those puppies that quietly steals your heart. She has the softest expression, the prettiest eyes, and that gentle, thoughtful presence that makes you want to scoop her right up. Daisy has been growing beautifully and is already showing such a calm, easygoing demeanor for her age. She’s content being snuggled up, taking in the world around her, and staying close to her mama and littermates. As part of Poppy’s Flower Patch, Daisy truly lives up to her name — soft, delicate, and absolutely precious in every way. 🌸 More of her personality will continue to unfold over the coming weeks, and we can’t wait to watch her bloom.

🌼🤎Good morning from The Flower Patch 🤎🌸 These little ones are changing so quickly it’s hard to keep up. Every day brings something new — brighter eyes, stronger legs, and now the sweetest little moments of play starting to pop up between naps. They’re officially beginning to notice each other, wiggle closer, and interact in the most precious ways, all while continuing to grow beautifully right on track. It’s such a special stage and we’re soaking up every bit of it. More updates coming soon as they continue to bloom 🌹

🌸 Poppy’s Flower Patch – 3 Weeks Old 🌸 Poppy’s flower patch is officially 3 weeks old, and this stage is such a sweet in-between moment that we really love documenting. Their eyes are fully open now, and they’re starting to become more aware of the world around them. We’re seeing longer wake windows, tiny wobbly attempts at moving around, and the very beginnings of personality starting to peek through. That said, they are still very much babies and spend most of their time eating, sleeping, and snuggling up with their littermates. This week, we’ve begun incorporating short, gentle play sessions and more intentional daily handling while keeping everything calm and age-appropriate. These early moments are all about building comfort, confidence, and positive associations with people — never rushing or overstimulating them. As always, our puppies are raised right alongside our family. They are born in our bedroom and stay there until around 4–5 weeks old, where they’re gently exposed to everyday household sounds and routines in a calm, controlled way. Once they’re more mobile, they’ll transition into the main living space so they can continue experiencing normal daily life in a safe, structured environment. At this stage, our focus is on: • gentle daily handling • early neurological development • calm human interaction • maintaining a clean, cozy space • supporting healthy growth and rest Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll start seeing more playfulness, stronger movement, and clearer personality traits emerge, and we’re excited to continue sharing their journey as they grow 🌸🤍

🤎Poppy’s Flower Patch💐 Meet Little Poppy🌸, our sweet namesake girl. She may be little, but she’s already making her presence known in the gentlest way. With her soft red coat and delicate features, Little Poppy has such a calm, peaceful look about her. She’s one of the girls who always seems content—settled in, cozy, and perfectly happy being held or snuggled up wherever she lands.🤍 At just over two weeks old, she’s in that quiet, dreamy stage of puppyhood where everything is still slow and sweet. Her personality will continue to unfold over the coming weeks, but we’re already loving her soft expression and relaxed demeanor. Little Poppy is part of our Poppy’s Flower Patch Cavapoo litter and will be ready to go home this spring 🌼 We’ll continue sharing individual updates as each puppy grows and develops.

Poppy’s Flower Patch🤎🌸 Meet Rosie🌹, one of the sweet girls from Poppy’s Flower Patch — and the first puppy born in the litter. At two weeks old, she’s just beginning to open her eyes and settle into this gentle in-between stage, where everything is still slow, quiet, and cozy. Rosie currently has the most solid red coloring of the litter, without any white on her face or feet, and at this point she’s also one of the smaller girls. It’s always special to watch how each puppy develops at their own pace, and we’re loving these early moments as she continues to grow and change day by day ❤️ More puppy spotlights coming soon⭐️

Puppy Spotlight: Sprout 🌱 Poppy’s Flower Patch🌷 Sprout is the only little boy in the litter and is officially two weeks old. His eyes are just beginning to open, and he’s starting to become more aware of light and movement while still spending most of his time resting comfortably with his littermates. We’re excited to start sharing individual puppy spotlights as the puppies continue to grow and reach these early milestones. More updates to come as they develop over the coming weeks.🤎

❤️Two Weeks Old & Eyes Open 🌹 Our little Valentine babies are officially two weeks old, and they’ve reached one of our favorite milestones — their eyes are open. It’s amazing how quickly these early days pass, and how much can change in such a short time. Right now, their days are still spent mostly snuggled together in cozy puppy piles, nursing, sleeping, and growing. But with their eyes open, they’re starting to become just a little more aware of the world around them — recognizing mama, responding to light and movement, and settling even deeper into one another for comfort 🤍 These quiet, love-filled moments are such a special part of the journey, and we’re soaking up every bit of this stage before the next one begins. We can’t wait to continue sharing their growth as they develop and their little personalities begin to emerge 💌 More updates coming soon

🐶 GoodDog Litter Update – One Week Old 🤍 Our puppies are officially one week old and doing beautifully. We were a bit quieter over the past several days as we navigated the recent storm and temporarily relocated everyone to ensure they stayed safe and comfortable. The puppies handled it wonderfully and continue to thrive. At this stage, they are nursing well, steadily gaining weight, and spending most of their time snuggled together and sleeping. Mama Poppy is doing an amazing job caring for them and remains calm, attentive, and very devoted to her babies.❤️

Poppy is beautifully built with a soft, curly coat and an elegant presence, but it’s her sweet personality that truly sets her apart. She’s happiest when she’s close to her people, quietly following us around the house or cuddling up for nap time. CKC registered and already showing strong maternal instincts, Poppy is everything we could hope for in a future mom. She’s easygoing, intelligent, and wonderfully intuitive, and we’re so excited to see her pass those traits on to her puppies.
