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. |
