FAQ

How do we pick which puppy we want?

We ask buyers for specifics, color, and gender depending on what that pairing can produce.

Can I have my deposit back if I decide not to purchase a puppy?

All deposits are non-refundable, however transferable to another upcoming litter if the dam does not produce gender or number of puppies to fulfill your request.

When do I get to pick my puppy?

All picks can be selected using our Current Litter page, Upcoming Litter page or in-person, on specific dates/times (chosen by breeder) after 7 weeks of age.

When is the remainder of puppy payment due? 

Cash payments can be paid on the pick up day.  Online payments (Venmo or Paypal) must be made 3 days prior to puppy pick up.   This allows time for bank transfers.  All personal checks must be received 1 week in advance of puppy pick up.

What if I can’t pick up the puppy on the designated pick up day?

Any puppy not picked up on the assigned pick up date, will incur a daily kennel charge of $25.00 per day.
