Our Process
.
Are you hoping to bring home one of our cuties?
Here is how to begin that process!
-
Fill out our online application HERE!
-
After an application is filled out, we will contact you so we can get to know you better!
-
If you decide to move forward with getting one of our puppies, you will need to sign a copy of our contract and warranty, which can be found HERE.
-
Finally, you will need to send us a $100 deposit to reserve your spot on our waiting list, or a $500 deposit to reserve an available puppy. Your deposit will also go towards the final price of your puppy!
-
This deposit is non-refundable if you should later decide you do not want one of our puppies.
-
We reserve the right to refuse a sale on a puppy if we feel it is not the right fit and is in the puppy’s best interest. Our puppies are our babies, and we are particular about where they go!
-
We also reserve the right to hold back any puppy for our breeding program before the waiting list makes their choices. Thank you for your understanding with this!
Further Breakdown of our Process
If/when your application is approved, we will be reaching out to you!
We will be doing a short interview to learn more about you, and we hope you will interview us too! We will ask you questions, and you can ask us questions as well. This may be over the phone or through e-mail or text. Whatever works best for both of us.
We want to learn what you are looking for in a puppy. We cannot guarantee super specific colors, temperaments, or sizes, but we can do our best to find you your best puppy match!
After our conversation, I will send you a copy of our contract for you to read over and sign and return.
When there are available puppies we will contact our list based on the order of deposits received. You can then choose your puppy from the available litter. If you need to wait until a future litter we can discuss options.
Once you have chosen your puppy, you will need to send us an additional deposit of $400 (for a total of $500) to reserve your puppy. If at any point, you decide not to get a puppy with us at all, any payments made up until that point are non-refundable and you will be removed from our waiting list.
If there are puppies available with no waiting list, you can simply fill out an application for the puppy that you are interested in, and after approval, you will need to send a $500 deposit to reserve that puppy.
I do not allow visits before the puppies are ready to go home for safety purposes. Puppies are so vulnerable to sickness and disease and we want to keep them as safe and healthy as possible. I do many picture and video updates, and I am very active on social media. I will also do FaceTime with buyers to see and virtually “visit” with their puppy.
See my FAQ section for more information on why we do not allow visits.
* OUR PRICING *
Our pricing is $2,500 – $3,000 per puppy for limited AKC Registration.

Bringing Home Your Puppy!!
The next step in the process is the super fun part! Getting to bring your new family member home. ❤️
We will either schedule a pick-up day for you to pick your puppy up at my home, or we may be able to help you schedule a driving or flight nanny instead for delivery. This will be an additional cost to you, paid directly to the nanny.
The remaining balance of your puppy will be due, in cash, at pick up. If you are using a nanny to help deliver your puppy, then the remaining balance of your puppy will be due, through one of our accepted payment methods, 2 weeks prior to your little one’s travel/go home date.
When you pick up your puppy, you will recieve a copy of our contract with both of our signatures, which will also serve as your receipt to show that your puppy balance is paid in full.
Next, you get to snuggle, play with, and thoroughly enjoy your new best friend! ❤️
