Apply
Complete the application now. On the application, you must specify the litter from which you want a puppy and which gender you prefer. The litter is identified by the mother’s name. We will call you once we have received your application.
Deposit & Pick Your Puppy
A $500 deposit by Venmo or Zelle saves your spot in that litter's picking order. Picking order follows the date your deposit is received, with separate orders for boys and girls. Your deposit stays fully refundable and transferable until you choose your puppy. Once we receive your deposit your spot in the litter’s picking order is reserved for you. The picking order is determined in the order we receive the deposits. Your total deposit will be deducted from your final payment. Puppy Picking Day happens when the litter is 4 to 5 weeks old. Before your call, we share individual photos and videos of each puppy so you can arrive with a favorite in mind. You can meet the puppies by FaceTime, Zoom or phone, or in person through our window. At this age, our veterinarian advises that visitors not handle the puppies, to protect them from accidental exposure to outside germs. We're glad to recommend a puppy that fits your family, but the final choice is yours. Once you choose, your deposit becomes a non-refundable earnest deposit held for that puppy. If none of the puppies feel like the right fit, you may forward your deposit to a future litter. You'll be placed after any families already committed to that litter.
