Deposits are required to be placed on our waitlist (after your puppy questionnaire gets approved) This will be taken off the remaining balance of your puppy fee. The deposit is non-refundable in the above amount paid via PayPal, and cash. We do not accept personal checks or credit card payments.

After every litter is born (4-7 days post whelp), we will contact those starting at the top of the waitlist if they are ready to lock in their puppy spot. If they want to pass, we will contact them again after the next litter is born.

After 6 weeks of age, we conduct puppy evaluations to learn more about individual puppy temperament (evaluating their tolerance to touch, their sight/noise sensitivity, their confidence/energy level, checking to see if they are tender-hearted, and more!). We do not remove dewclaws. Between 7 and 8 weeks of age, the puppies will receive a wellness check by our mobile veterinarian and their first round of vaccines (health records will be included in the puppy packets).

On the day of puppy pick up (8 weeks of age), the puppies will be selected by their new owners in order the deposits were received. We have strict rules that prohibit families from going to dog stores/dog parks for several weeks before picking up their puppy. These rules are in place to protect the puppies health (no exceptions). Upon request, we can help match you with a puppy if you're looking for any particular traits as we have already performed puppy evaluations. Otherwise, we will allow families to pick their own puppy at 8 weeks of age.

Limited registration is designed for people looking for a family pet and has no intention of breeding their dog. We will require all owners to spay/neuter their dog between 12 and 18 months of age and then send verification of that back to the breeder. (see puppy contract). You can register your puppy through AKC (American Kennel Club) on limited registration but that same dog cannot produce offspring since they won't be eligible for registration.

A dog that is registered with limited rights is not prevented from entering events such as obedience, rally, agility, tracking, field trials, hunting tests, herding, etc.
