HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS

Welcome to Our Puppy Reservation Process!

​

We’re excited that you’re considering adding one of our puppies to your family. To help you understand how our process works, we’ve outlined the steps below:

​

  • Joining Our Master Reservation List (MRL):
    To get started, a $600 non-refundable deposit is required, along with a signed contract. This deposit places you on our Master Reservation List (MRL) in the order we receive both your deposit and contract. Being on the MRL does not mean you are reserving a specific puppy or litter. Instead, it secures your place in line for future litters, based on the order of deposits received.

  • Understanding Our Breeding Approach:
    While we understand families may have preferences for a specific color or gender, we cannot guarantee availability. Our breeding focus is on temperament and health rather than color, and the gender balance of each litter can be unpredictable.

  • Notification of Breeding and Expression of Interest:
    As each breeding takes place, we will notify everyone on the MRL via email. If you are interested in that particular litter, you will need to let us know at that time.

  • Moving to the Litter Reservation List:
    Once the puppies are born, we begin contacting families who expressed interest in that litter. In this step, you can confirm whether you would like to reserve a puppy from the litter and specify your preferred gender. If you decide to move forward, you will be added to the Litter Reservation List, securing your picking order based on your preferred gender. We will continue this process until all puppies in the litter are reserved or we have contacted everyone on the list.

  • Puppy Selection Day:
    You do not select a specific puppy when you are moved to the Litter Reservation List. Instead, you are securing your picking order for your preferred gender. The actual selection of your puppy will occur on the day the puppies go to their new homes, following the order on the Litter Reservation List.

  • Flexibility to Stay on the MRL:
    If, at any point before moving from the MRL to the Litter Reservation List, you decide that the timing isn’t right, or you prefer a different litter or gender/color that is unavailable, you can choose to stay on the MRL for a future litter. Your position on the MRL will move up as other families are moved to the Litter Reservation List.

  • Importance of Early Deposits:
    If you are not in a hurry to bring a new puppy home, we encourage you to place your deposit sooner rather than later. This will give you a higher position on the MRL and a better chance of securing a spot for a future litter that fits your preferences. Remember, the deposit is valid for 12 months from the date it is received.

  • Breeding Updates and Availability:
    For our 2024/2025 breeding season, we’ve updated our website with the pairings we anticipate. Please note that these pairings and timings are estimates and are subject to change. We do not accept deposits for specific litters unless the litter is born and puppies are available. You are welcome to indicate a litter preference, but we cannot guarantee availability from that specific litter.

​​

We hope this explanation helps clarify our process! If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to helping you find the perfect new member for your family!
