ADOPT YOUR PUPPY

• We offer high quality dogs and are listed with the AKC as Breeders of Heart. To receive this merit is a multistep process.   Bred with H.E.A.R.T. is a new way to engage, encourage and recognize all breeders who meet specific health testing standards and who participate in continuing education.  Our puppies are $2,000, plus tax.

• We are selective in who we share our puppies with, so it is best to fill out an application first.  We love our puppies and feel a definite responsibility to give them good homes.   The application page shares a list of questions, but mostly we want to get to know you, so please add to it anything else you may feel is appropriate. 

• Once the application is received and approved, the next step is reserving a puppy.  The application fee of $135 is applied to the sales tax, but is non-refundable if you decide not to get a puppy. 

• We encourage you to come visit us after the puppies turn 5 to 6 weeks of age, as their little personalities are becoming more evident by that stage.  Visitors are welcome by scheduled appointments.  

• Once you have decided on the puppy you would like to reserve for yourself, half of the total cost of the puppy ($1,000) is then due.  Ultimately, the choice of puppies go to those who first decide on a puppy and make their first payment. If more then one person wants the same puppy, priority is given to those who first payed their application fee.

•  Once your puppy has been reserved, the last payment is due by pick up day. 

• Puppies are sent home AFTER eight weeks with their mother, this is non-negotiable, as it is what is best for your puppy.

• On pick up day you will be given an AKC folder that includes vaccination, litter certificate,  health records, and papers for registration with the AKC.  Please know that we do not offer breeding rights, so there is this restriction with the AKC.  Puppies are also given a goodie bag that includes either a toy or blanket that has their mother and litter mates sent on it. Puppies are de-wormed at two, four, six, and eight weeks.  A health record including the veterinary visit and date of vaccinations(Parvo, Distemper, and Influenza vaccinations) will all be sent home in  a folder on pick up day.  

• As the puppies grow, we like to post pictures, and/or videos on our website. We do endeavor to keep our website up to date with individual puppy pictures, and their availability status.

• We like to introduce our puppies to... children, crate time, noises, leash, and grooming tools, etc.    Puppies will ride in a vehicle with their littermates and mother present to condition them for travel prior to going to their new home.  Potty training usually starts by 5 weeks.  We do also talk to our puppies and initiate the learning of simple commands such as "go potty, come, and sit."

• We offer a two year health guarantee.

• We are confident you will be completely happy with you future companion, but if circumstances should require you to give up your dog, we are here to support you, and if necessary welcome them back into our home.

*We love receiving picture updates as your puppies grow.  It warms our hearts to see them enjoying their new lives.  Thank you
