Why do you require a waiting list deposit?

Having a waiting list deposit allows us to have a more accurate waiting list of people who are seriously interested in purchasing a puppy. This allows us to give customers a better estimate of when they can purchase a puppy. The non-refundable waiting list deposit of $100 is applied to the purchase price of your puppy.

How long will take to get a puppy?

Spring and Fall are usually our most requested periods for getting a pup. It all depends on how many litters are clustered together, the sizes of the litters and the number of people on the waiting list. We cannot give guaranteed dates but keep our website updated with an approximate timeframe.

Can I pick which litter I get a puppy from?

We do not take requests for specific litters before pups are born. We have no idea if the pregnancy will take, the litter size, or the sexes of the pups until they are born. Rather, we put everyone on a waiting list. Everyone on the waiting list is notified when a litter is born. Anyone can request a pup from a litter they are interested in. Reservations take place over a 3-day period shortly after birth. If 10 pups are available and 20 people request pups, the 10 available pups will go to those who are most senior on the list that requested pups. YOU choose the litter and sex of the pup. We select which specific puppy each family will get from the litter based on the puppy’s personality and family’s needs described in our Puppy Preference Form. This makes more sense since we interact with the pups on a daily basis, rather than selecting one you think is best after seeing them for a few minutes. Every pup has its good and bad days- we are looking for consistent behaviors and personality traits.

How do I potty train my puppy?

We have found that people who use the crate-training method are most successful in potty-training their puppies. In this method, you take the puppy outside to go potty, give them a treat when they potty, bring them inside and play with them for 30 minutes to an hour watching them closely for the entire time, then put them in their crate to take a nap, when they wake up carry them outside to potty, give them a treat and repeat the process (except at night you skip playing with the puppy). Focus on potty training and this process for the first week or two that the puppy is home. This way they are going outside when they actually HAVE to potty and will learn faster than having numerous accidents in the house.

What kind of food do you recommend?

We currently are feeding our pups blue Buffalo small breed puppy food both wet and dry.

All our adult dogs are home cooked for and do a rotation diet with a mixture of beef, chicken, organ meat or fish mixed with veggies and kibble (Halo with raw coating).

Can you fly puppies?

We will not ship puppies, but people can fly their puppies’ home in a carrier under the seat. It is important to let us know if you plan to fly before purchasing a ticket as different airlines have different requirements and check the age restrictions as well! A typical fee is $125 from airlines.

Should I take my puppy to training class?

Yes! We recommend that people take a training class after their puppy has their second set of vaccinations. We also recommend that people take another training class when their puppy is older (6-9 months) to learn even more! It is far better for YOU to take your pup to class rather than sending them off for training. 50% of the training is (YOU) and consistency.
