Frequently Asked Questions

What are the steps to purchasing a puppy?

1. Apply Today

To begin, we require everyone to fill out an application. This is to make sure we are on the same page and feel comfortable placing puppies in forever loving homes.

​Once we review your application, we will either reach out with more questions, or reply via email with a contract

2. Contract & Deposit

Once approved, we require a contract to be filled out and signed, then we take a deposit to hold the puppy of your choice. We do not hold puppies without a contract & deposit.

We accept a couple different forms of payment options which will be outlined in the contract. 

3. Puppy Goes Home

We are happy to work with buyers on how they get their puppies home and it's mostly a case-by-case scenario. We prefer your balance paid in cash at pickup/delivery.

We have delivered puppies via flight nanny, driving them, pickup at our home, or meeting somewhere halfway.
* We are happy to have approved applicants come visit puppies in person *

What does a puppy come with?

Mentality

We do our absolute best to expose our puppies to as much real-world things and experiences as we can in such a way that they confident, social, and well rounded for everyday life, no matter what their forever home will offer. We raise them in our homes with lots of hands on exposure.

In order to do that we expose them to most, if not all, of the following:
Potty Pad Training
Toys
Noises
Inclines
Tunnels
Stairs
Doors
Vacuums
Children
Other dogs

Health

Because we health test, we are confident in what we are breeding, therefore offer a health guarantee with each of our puppies.

All puppies get their first vaccines before leaving.

They get a vet exam.

Each puppy gets microchipped prior to going home as well.

Go Home Pack

Going to a new home can be quite the adjustment, so we do put in extra care to make sure all our puppies get the best possible start in their new homes.

​We send all our puppies to their new home with a Go-Home Pack that includes the following:
Blanket with siblings smell
Toys
Some of their current food
Treats
Potty Bags
Potty Pads
Health Record Keeper
Vet Exam Report
Microchip Information
​Limited Registration (when applicable)

Do you have a wait list?

The short answer is no. We do not keep a wait list and only take contracts and deposits on puppies we have available, not future puppies.
We do not keep a call list (sorry just too hard to keep track of for us), but are happy to have folks check in with us from time to time and we can let them know of current, upcoming, and planned litters.
​Please reach out to Tamara for this information at 970-596-8012
