Current Availability of Puppies

 

There are no puppies currently available. We will not have any new puppies available until the Spring of 2008 as we plan carefully for our own needs. We will announce any new litter as soon as they arrive. All puppies are healthy and new pet parents are given a copy of the veterinarian's checkup and shot record.

 

WE CONDUCT INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS BEFORE CONSIDERING AN APPLICATION. If you're looking for a breeding dog, we may not be the option you'd prefer as we require a site visit to the prospective home be conducted in most cases, unless we are otherwise comfortable with your application (references are checked).

 

WAITLIST: If you wish to be put on our waitlist for puppies, please let us know. There is no obligation for purchase, but we will start offering first to the waitlist before offering for sale to others. That means that if you ask to be on our waitlist and a litter becomes available, you will have first option (based on your status on the list - first come, first notified) at the new litter but do not necessarily have to purchase any puppy or puppies. Should you then decide you wish to purchase, you must make a deposit to hold your desired puppy, which will be available at the appropriate time.

 

Puppies will not be allowed to go home with new pet parents until they are at least six weeks to eight weeks old but we respectfully request that you let your puppy stay with us until he or she is 12 weeks old. WHY? Because puppies need to build socialization skills with others and to remove them from their litter too soon would deprive them of this opportunity to learn to get along with others. However, sometimes a new pet parent may have others that the puppy will be able to play with at home, or circumstances may not allow waiting that long. We do not sell to pet shops, puppy mills or brokers.

 

Deposits: We only accept deposits once a litter is officially offered. Deposits are nonrefundable and are $100 for males and $150 for females. You may change your mind as to which puppy you wish to purchase, based on availability at the time. We will not hold a puppy without a deposit. If you see a puppy that you wish to purchase, you may notify us of your intention to deposit. At that time, we will list the puppy as "pending" and once deposited, this status will change to "deposited." Any puppy listed as "sold" indicates all transactions have been finalized.

 

Our prices are as follows:

 

Color Price
Parti or Tri $600*
Black or Black & Tan $700*
All Other Colors $600*

*For AKC  Registration papers, provided upon proof of spay/neuter. Inquire for prices if you require full AKC registration as we do not allow our puppies to be sold to puppy mills or backyard breeders. We're very careful about where our puppies end up - it's our job to ensure they have a healthy and happy life, and we take our breeding program seriously.

 

Stud Service Available - $100 and pick of the litter; plus $15 per day boarding for visiting females.

 

Shipping: We prefer not to ship our puppies unless it is completely necessary. In such a case, we use Delta's pet program and the price will depend on the region in which you live. Inquire for the cost for shipping to your location. Shipping is to be paid by the buyer at the time of purchase. We hope that you will be able to come and pick up your puppy onsite but we do realize that there are times when this may not be possible. Therefore, if you need to have a puppy shipped to you, please contact us first. In some cases, it may be cheaper to arrange for an escorted shipment as some shipping rates may be up to $300 in the US and if the airline offers a discount fare for a passenger that would be considerably less, it would be more feasible to pay for a passenger fare plus a $50 fee for transporting the puppy in an approved carry-on. For puppies to Hawaii, this is not possible. If you wish for us to deliver the puppy via this method, you will be responsible for all costs relating to the passenger fare and carry-on fee. Puppies must be eight weeks old to travel via air as per airline regulations. ALTERNATIVE SHIPPING: You may wish to research alternative shipping methods that may be better suited for your puppy such as Pro Pet Transports or Express Pet Transport. Your choice of shipping is at your own discretion and we are not responsible nor do we vouch for the integrity of any of these alternative transport companies. Please research carefully.

 

All puppies come with AKC registration papers, but in an effort to prevent our puppies from being bred without authorization, we hold papers until proof of spay or neuter is provided. If you are interested in full registration for show or breeding purposes, please contact us for our requirements as we are extremely cautious about this, and not many buyers are approved for full registration. In addition, puppies come with a complete health record showing all procedures and their shot records from a licensed veterinarian (we do not engage in self-doctoring our puppies), as well as a copy of their three-year pedigree. In addition, we provide new puppy packs from Eukanuba/IAMS that include useful information for your new puppy and a sample of their current food. We use only premium pet foods to ensure the healthiest puppies possible.

 

A purchase agreement is required for all purchases. If you do not live in the area, you may fill out your form and return it via fax, email or mail. In the event that you are having your puppy shipped, we will enclose your copy of the contract with your puppy.

 

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO UPDATE US ON YOUR PUPPY! Please feel free to write or email any questions you may have as you raise your puppy, and we love to get photos of our puppies as they grow up so that we can evaluate our breeding stock. See the purchase agreement for information on this issue.
