Our Puppy Buying Process

-After placing your deposit, you will be added to the list of the litter you have chosen in the order that your deposit was received. You will receive an update when the planned parents breed and again around 4 weeks later when we confirm pregnancy by ultrasound. We will update you again when the puppies are born. Please check our

website and Facebook page periodically for other news and updates.

-Within 2-3 days of the birth of the litter, we will post a photo of the entire litter on our

website on the “Current Litters” page. After that, we will post updated individual photos approximately weekly, except during the week when the puppy’s eyes start to open. We usually skip that week because the puppy’s eyes can’t tolerate bright lights when they are first open.

-We will schedule a well-check visit with our vet at 6 weeks.  After this visit, we will schedule a puppy pick day.   Pick is done in the order of deposit by FaceTime or WhatsApp video. We do not know what puppies will be available until pick day. On pick day, all puppies will be available for 1st pick. After they have picked their puppy, it will be taken out, and buyer 2 will select from the remaining puppies. This continues until all buyers have had a chance to pick their puppy. Families must be prepared to choose their puppies in a timely manner. Other families are on the waiting list that are anxiously waiting to see which puppies they have to choose from. It is best to have your preferred puppies listed in order from first to last.

-We strictly prohibit visitors from entering our home. We are very concerned with communicable viruses and diseases. Visitors can innocently and unknowingly introduce a new virus to our dogs and puppies simply by bringing them in on the bottom of their shoes or clothing. We also don’t want to stress our mamma dogs or expectant mamma dogs. We know you are incredibly anxious to meet your new puppy. However, this is in your puppy’s best interests.  For families living close by, an in-person pick may be possible in our carport or front yard if time/weather permits.

-Pickup is at 8 weeks and is done in person at our home. We are not a boarding facility, so please ensure you will be able to pick up your dog at 8 weeks. Please note that the remaining balance owed on your puppy is due at least 48 hours prior to pick up. We accept Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Pay. Payment can also be made through GoodDog. When you arrive at our home for pickup, please text, and we will bring you your puppy and go-home material. We will be happy to discuss last-minute details during this time. If you are sick or have a fever or cough, please call, and we will be happy to reschedule your pickup.

-Your puppy comes with vaccinations and wormings that are up to date. Your puppy will still need additional shots by your veterinarian at their recommendation. Your puppy will receive a 6-week health check by our vet, and you will receive a copy for your records. You are also eligible for one month of free pet insurance through Trupanion.

-We are here to support you for the life of your puppy. Please let us know if you have

any questions or concerns after you get home with your puppy.
