STEP 3:  CHOOSE YOUR PUPPY

  • The selection process takes place around 6-7 weeks old,

on a designated Selection Day noted on the litter page.

  • You are responsible to be available for this process,

as the date is supplied in advance. 

  • Choosing is completed entirely online.

We serve families all over the country, you do not travel to us for choosing.

  • Individual photos and/or videos of the puppies are posted to a private webpage.  Each family receives the link and time to view and make a selection. This is a progressing process,

beginning with the 1st-pick family, then 2nd-pick, and so on...   

 

Half the balance for your puppy is due on Puppy Selection Day,

in order to continue holding your reservation.

*IMPORTANT:

We strive to provide each buyer with a physically healthy, socially secure and mentally acute puppy.

Also, we seek to improve the quality of the breed.

Therefore, in rare cases, if we observe an abnormality or receive information of significance from our vet or from a test we've done, we reserve the right to NOT release a puppy ,even if the buyer has made their choice/pick. In such a case the buyer will be fully reimbursed or given the chance to pick another puppy. We sincerely hope this doesn't occur. It is very rare.

STEP 4:  PICK UP YOUR PUPPY

You are responsible to pick up your puppy

on the designatedd Pick Up Day noted on the litter page.

Pick up day is scheduled for the first Sunday

once the puppies are 8-9 weeks,

depending to holidays and our schedule.  

Appointments will be set ahead of time for each family.

At pick up, you will receive an AKC registration application,

record of current shots and deworming, proof of vet wellness check, and a Puppy Adoption Contract that will need your signature.

 

The balance of payment is due by Puppy Pick Up

 .

*If you are unable to pick up your puppy on the specified date, we can occasionally care for your puppy an extra few days for a charge of $100. This option is based on our schedule and other limitations at the time.

and at times add photos to our gallery or social media.
