Puppy Deposits

 

  • You can place a $500 deposit on a puppy that has already been born and have it held for you until it is ready to go to his/her new home, or  

  • If the puppy has not been born and you want a puppy that is of a specific size, sex, or color ask to be on our Waiting List.  To be on our waiting list, we require a $250 deposit that is applied towards the purchase price of a puppy.  There are advantages and disadvantages to this option.

       Advantages:

  • You receive priority.  We work with you very closely to identify the type of puppy you want.

  • If the puppy has not been born, we will let you know where you are on the Waiting List.

  • Each time a puppy is born that matches your specific specifications (sex, color, size), we will notify you based on where you are on the Waiting List.

  • Once you are notified that a puppy has been born that matches your specifications, we will email you a picture of the puppy. You can choose to have the puppy held for you by making a second deposit of $250, or wait for another puppy to be born.  Final payment is not due until the puppy is ready to go to their new home.

  • You will receive pictures of the puppy at birth, at 4 weeks old, and at 8 weeks old.  Since we do not have a full time photographer, we are not able to provide puppy pictures on a weekly basis - even quick snap shots.  Thank you for your understanding.

  • If you live locally, or within driving distance and want to see the puppy in person prior to making a final decision, you are welcome to come to our home when the puppy is 8 weeks old.  If you are not able to come to our home when the puppy is 8 weeks old and you cannot make a final decision until you see the puppy, the puppy will be offered to the next family on our waiting list, or posted on our web site as an available puppy.  You will not lose your spot on our waiting list, but you will need to wait until the next puppy is born.   

      Disadvantages:

  • Deposits are non-refundable.  This is the only way that we can ensure that we are working with a family that is serious about adding a new bundle of joy to their life.

  • Some puppies are not priced until they are a minimum of 8 weeks old.  We have a general price guideline that we follow.  To view our price guideline please click on the white tab to the left titled "Puppy Prices."

  • We do not estimate the final adult weight of a puppy until they are a minimum of 8 weeks old.  If at 8 weeks old, we believe that the puppy will be slightly smaller or larger than you requested, you can choose to wait for the next available puppy and you will not lose your place on our waiting list.

  • Our puppies receive their first vaccine when they are 7 weeks old.  As a result, our puppies are not allowed personal visits until they are at least 8 weeks of age.  There are absolutely no exceptions – please do not ask!

Other Options

If you are considering purchasing a puppy from us, you have the following three options available to you:

 Option #1

Purchase a puppy that is currently posted on our web site.  If we do not have any puppies posted, or you are looking for a different size, sex, or color, go to option #2.

 Option #2

Send us an email message and ask to be added to our Email Notification List.  We will notify you each time we post new puppies on our web site.  This option has advantages and disadvantages.

      Advantages:

  • There is no commitment.

  • You can view pictures of our puppies as they become available.

      Disadvantages:

  • Not all puppies will be posted on our web site.  Some puppies are sold to families that are on our Waiting List.  (see Option #3)           

  • Our puppies are posted on the World Wide Web.  Sometimes our puppies sell within hours of posting and other times it can take a week or more before the right family is identified.  We have no way of knowing how long a puppy will be available once posted.

  • Many times there are several families that are interested in the same puppy.

Option #3

Place a deposit on a puppy that has already been born, or place a deposit to be on our waiting list. (see top of page regarding Puppy Deposits.)
