Puppy Reservation Process and Information


* All litter information should be on this web site. Please contact me directly if you can't find the answer to your question. Contact me by e-mail
* All puppies are sold with a contract which must be signed when the pup is picked up. Please read the purchase agreement carefully as it outlines your responsibilities as well as mine. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Puppy Prices: $850 (shipping is extra and is the responsibility of the buyer)
Spay/neuter required. Registration will be held until receipt of spay/neuter certification.

* You will be put on my waiting list in order of when I receive your questionaire. Your $200.00 deposit can be applied to a specific litter that you are interested in, or to any upcoming announced breeding. Deposits are non-refundable prior to the puppies' 8 week old evaluations. In the event that no puppy in the litter is a suitable match for you or the pregnancy fails to take, your deposit is fully refunded. Payment is due in full before taking your puppy home.


* Finding the right home for each puppy is of utmost importance to me. I always reserve the right to decide who receives one of my puppies.


* You ALWAYS have the right to decide not to take a puppy even at the last minute. I never want anyone to feel that they must take a puppy just because they are on the waiting list or have given me a deposit.


* Although I will try my best to get you a puppy from the litter you are interested in, being put on the waiting list does not guarantee you will receive a puppy from that litter. There are simply too many variables involved such as litter size, the number of show quality puppies, sex of the puppies, etc. In some cases, especially with small litters, there may be no pet puppies or no show quality puppies available. If there is no puppy available from the particular litter you are waiting for, you have the option of staying on the waiting list for the next litter.


* Show quality puppies are ALWAYS chosen first and their placement takes priority over the choosing of pet puppies. This is in part due to the particular requirements for show puppies. Show quality puppies are ONLY placed in homes where the owner is committed to showing them.


* Puppies will go home at about 9 weeks. I will help you choose which puppies go to which homes based on the requirements of the buyer. After 8 weeks of observation, a puppy temperment test, and a puppy structure evaluation, I have a good idea which pup will work for which family. My priority is to make sure that each pup is in the right home.


* If none of my puppies available are suitable, you may wait for the next litter or go to another breeder. I am always happy to make referrals to other reputable breeders.
