PUPPY INFORMATION
Puppy Application:
Puppy Application:
Application Process -
The Application process for acquiring a puppy is designed to ensure that each puppy is placed in the right home where they will be loved, cared for, and thrive. Applicants are required to complete a detailed Application form consisting of 66 questions. These questions will ask for information regarding your experience with pets, your living environment, lifestyle, and readiness to take on the responsibilities of raising a puppy. It’s essential that all answers are truthful and comprehensive, as the information provided is used to determine whether or not you are a suitable fit for one of the puppies.
As part of the Application process, you will also need to consent to a Background Check. This includes verifying your identity and reviewing relevant factors that ensure you can provide a safe, stable home for a puppy. If the information provided in the Application is not sufficient or accurate prior to the Background Check, your Application will be declined. If the Application and Background Check are successfully completed with all necessary information and clear records, you will be approved to move forward with the next steps.
Being approved for the Application will place you on the General Waitlist for future litters. However, please be aware that being on the Waitlist does not guarantee immediate or prioritized contact, as the selection process is based on matching the right puppy with the right home. The Application process is an important step in ensuring that each puppy is placed in an environment that meets their needs and provides the best possible quality of life.
The General Waitlist:
How It Works -
The General Waitlist is for applicants who have completed the Application Process and Background Check. Once approved, applicants will be added to the list; however, being on the waitlist does not guarantee priority when puppies become available. After the puppies are born, all applicants will be notified. At 7 weeks old, each puppy will undergo a temperament test to assess their personality, energy level, and needs, ensuring the best possible match with a suitable home. Applicants will be contacted based on the puppy’s needs and how well they align with each applicant’s lifestyle, ensuring the puppy is placed in the most fitting environment.
Once the puppies are ready for selection, applicants will have the opportunity to choose a puppy based on their suitability to the family’s lifestyle. This means that not all applicants may be selected for a puppy from the litter, as placement depends on each puppy’s characteristics and the family’s needs. For instance, a high-energy puppy may be placed with an active family, while a calmer one may be more appropriate for a laid-back home. The goal is to place each puppy where they will thrive, rather than following a first-come, first-served approach.
Puppy Holding Deposit:
Holding a Puppy -
In order to reserve a puppy, a Non-Refundable Deposit is required to secure your selection, thereby rendering that particular puppy inaccessible to others until it is released to you (unless for some reason your Deposit is forfeited, and puppy relisted as available). The Holding Deposit amount is subsequently deducted from the overall price of the designated puppy. Please note that Holding Deposits will only be accepted once a puppy has been chosen. Therefore, deposits will not be entertained prior to the birth of the puppies. It is imperative that the Holding Deposit be remitted in full to effectively secure the specified pup.
Holding Deposit -
The Holding Deposit is non-refundable; however, you are allowed one transfer to a different puppy within the same litter if more than one option was originally offered to you. This transfer is only available if the alternate puppy has not already been selected by someone else. The opportunity for a transfer will arise after all considered individuals have made their selections. Please keep in mind that this is a one-time transfer, and no further changes will be allowed after it has been used. If you choose not to proceed with a puppy from the current litter, you may withdraw, but the Holding Deposit is non-refundable. You can either apply it to a future litter or forfeit it entirely.
Pick Up/Delivery Day:
Pick Up -
Before picking up your puppy, the remaining balance must be paid in full at least 3 days prior to the scheduled pickup date. Accepted payment methods include Cash in-person or Good Dog. This advance payment ensures a smooth transition and allows time for payment to process without any complications. Once the payment has been received and confirmed, a signed copy of your Puppy Purchase Agreement will be mailed to you within 2-4 weeks, though it may arrive sooner. Prompt payment is essential to finalize the process and prevent any delays in bringing your new companion home.
*I DO NOT TAKE CHECKS, USE ANY CASH APPS, OR OFFER PAYMENT PLANS*
Delivery -
In the case of acquiring your puppy through Ground Transportation, it is essential to settle the remaining balance through Good Dog at least 3 days before the scheduled pick-up. Failure to complete the payment in full will result in the cancellation of the puppy's dispatch, incurring a cancellation fee determined by the transporter. Following the successful payment, you can anticipate receiving a physical copy of your signed Puppy Purchase Agreement by mail within 2-4 weeks. Click HERE for Ground Transportation Prices.
Reasons For a Waitlist Removal:
General Waitlist -
If, after 72 hours of the breeder attempting to communicate with the buyer regarding the chosen puppy (whether it pertains to scheduling for pick-up/delivery or general inquiries), the deposit will be forfeited, and no refund will be issued due to a lack of communication. The 3-day timeframe is considered sufficient for responding to messages, especially given the significance of the matter concerning acquiring a puppy. While follow-up messages will be sent, the countdown begins from the initial message until a response is received from the buyer. Communication is a critical aspect, particularly when it involves contacting the buyer about a puppy that is soon to be in their care. The Puppy Purchase Agreement explicitly emphasizes the importance of timely communication, including messages, photos, videos, and updates.
Registration Options:
Limited Registration -
Limited Registration will only be granted following a thorough approval process. Prospective owners must submit an application for consideration. If approved for Limited Registration, it is mandatory to spay/neuter your puppy/dog at 18 months of age, with the procedure to take place no earlier than 18 months and no later than 18 months. With Limited Registration, the privilege to breed your puppy/dog is not conferred. All puppies will be pre-registered at the breeder's expense prior to leaving for their new homes. Puppies with Limited Registration are priced at $1,200 and are exclusively available to active/working homes. Please note that any financial transactions made are non-refundable. I will personally conduct Embark testing for each puppy before they depart for their new homes. This reflects my commitment to ensuring the health and well-being of every individual puppy in my breeding program.
