Questions to answer before you commit.
These are the questions families ask us most often. If yours is more specific, I’m happy to talk it through.
What does a puppy cost?
Our standard price is $3,000 for a male or female, regardless of color. The $500 deposit is applied toward that total. Optional arrangements are discussed separately.
Read moreDo you charge extra for color or pick of the litter?
No. We do not add a premium for color or a “pick of the litter” label. A specific color or puppy still depends on availability and the agreed selection arrangement.
Read moreWhat does my deposit reserve?
Deposits are taken for a male or female of a litter. Confirm the litter, selection arrangements, and written terms directly with us before paying.
Read moreIs the deposit refundable or transferable?
Our sale agreement contains nonrefundable deposit language. Review the agreement offered for your placement and ask about transfers, exceptions, or contingencies before you commit. Any different arrangement should be confirmed in writing.
Read moreWhen do I choose my puppy?
I help with puppy picks around six weeks, explaining the temperaments I see so you can make a more informed choice.
Read moreWhen does my puppy come home?
Usual go-home is eight weeks. Our optional ear-cropping arrangement adds $500 and moves go-home to nine weeks. Confirm the actual date and arrangements for your puppy.
Read moreCan I meet the dogs before committing?
Yes—contact us to arrange a meet-the-pack visit. If distance is an issue, ask about a video conversation.
Read moreWhere can I read the dogs’ health information and reports?
Available health information and reports are included in each dog’s individual profile. Visit Our Dogs and select the dog you’d like to learn about.
Find an individual dog’s profileHow does the health guarantee work?
Our standard puppy agreement includes a three-year health guarantee beginning at go-home. The written agreement controls the actual coverage, conditions, documentation, and remedy. Co-ownership terms can differ.
Read moreAre puppies registered? Does that include breeding rights?
Our puppies are eligible for AKC and ICCF registration. Your agreement explains the registration arrangement and any restrictions. If you are interested in breeding rights or co-ownership, discuss that with us before reserving; registration eligibility alone does not include unrestricted breeding rights.
Read moreDo I need a working home?
Tell us what you want from the dog and what your daily routine can support. We value capable companions and guardians as well as working dogs; the individual puppy’s temperament and drive need to fit the home.
Read moreCan a puppy live with children or other pets?
Our dogs are part of family and farm life. Tell me about your children, existing pets, and routine so we can discuss the right individual puppy and how you will manage introductions, supervision, and training.
Read moreWill you help after go-home?
Yes. I offer ongoing breeder support and welcome questions as your dog develops. Keep us informed about both progress and concerns.
Read moreCan you arrange transport?
Discuss your location and travel needs directly before booking. We can begin with a video conversation; transportation availability, method, timing, and any cost need an individual arrangement.
Read moreHow are payments documented?
I send an updated invoice to your chosen email address whenever money is received. Confirm the recipient and payment instructions directly before paying.
