Frequently asked Questions

Cost of Puppies:   Puppies are $3,500.  There is a $500 deposit due at the time of reservation.  The remaining $3,000 is due when the puppy is six weeks old.

AKC registration:  All puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club. They will have limited registration which means that any litters from from this puppy will not be eligible for registration with the AKC nor will the dog be eligible to be entered in a breed dog show.  The dog will be eligible for entry in hunt trials, obedience or agility tests.  (Full registration is only given is special circumstances)

Waiting list: There is an ongoing waiting list for those who wish to be contacted about upcoming litters.  When a pregnancy is confirmed, those on the list will be contacted and given the opportunity to put a deposit on a puppy.  There will be deposits taken on 4 females and 4 males.  If there are more puppies available, those on the waiting list will be contacted.  If there are less than 4 puppies of any given sex born, a refund will be given.

Picking your puppy:  Puppies are chosen at six weeks of age.  This can be done in person or by video calls.  Puppies are chosen in the order deposits are received.  There will be regular updates during the weeks from birth to 6 weeks so you can be familiar with the litter before having to make your choice.

Coming Home:  Puppies are ready for their new homes at 8 weeks of age.  There will be 3 days available to pick up your puppy.  These days will be arranged in advance.  There is also the option to use a "Flight Nanny" for those who cannot travel to our home.  This information can be provided if needed.

Pet Contract:  Each puppy comes with a 1 year health warranty.

Feeding your puppy:   We use Purina Pro Plan Puppy food.  This has come highly recommended by our vet and other breeders.  A sample bag will be sent home with each puppy.  We encourage new families to use this bag for the first few days the puppy is in their new environment.  If another puppy food is preferred, you can change at that time.

Our facilities:  Our puppies are raised in our home in a special "puppy room".  This room has a kennel area inside and a doggy door connected to a kennel area outside with a concrete pad.  The mother dog is able to come and go yet remain in a safe environment.  As the puppies grow, they will eventually be able to use the doggie door and explore outside.  They will always be under our close supervision.  Cameras are also positioned inside and out for constant monitoring.

Socialization:  Puppies are handled and loved from the very first moments of birth.  They are rubbed, rolled over and touched on their paws, gums and ears.  Week 3 we introduce more noises such as hairdryers, vacuums, washing machines and hammers.  Week three and four puppies start solid food and see less of their Mama.  Week 5 puppies can work on mastering climbing and going through the doggy door.  Week 6 puppies travel in a car to the vet as well as the photographer for a group picture.  Week 6 and 7 we begin getting puppies used to a crate and leash.  Week 8 puppies are ready for their new homes.
