ACQUIRING A PUP
HERE'S A LOOK AT HOW WE HANDLE PUPPY INQUIRIES, COMMUNICATION, AND PLACEMENTS!
INQUIRY COMES IN FROM POTENTIAL OWNER
-
We receive your phone call or email
-
We will conduct a scheduled interview over the phone to:
-
Educate potential owners on the breed
-
Make sure you are a good fit for one of our pups
-
Discuss our breeding program and litter plans
-
Add you to our wait list for an upcoming litter
-
DEPOSITS ACCEPTED
-
You may submit a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. This deposit does not hold a specific puppy for you, but guarantees your spot on our list as puppies become available.
-
At this point, we will consult with potential homes about what genders preferences may exist, but cannot guarantee the number of males or females in a given litter.
-
-
1. A FEMALE IS PLANNED TO BREED AND GOES INTO SEASON; WE BREED THE DOGS
-
When we have a litter planned, all potential owners on our wait list will be notified via email.
2. ULTRASOUND POST BREEDING
-
Once we have had a successful mating, our females receive an ultrasound between 30-35 days of pregnancy to confirm that we are expecting puppies!
3. XRAY TIME!
-
We visit our reproductive vet around 2-3 days prior to the litter due date to shoot an X-ray. This will help confirm the number of puppies in the womb, so we can prepare best for a safe delivery!
4. WHELPING AND REARING
-
Once puppies are born, we will know what the gender split of the litter is. Sometimes there are more males - and other times there are more females.
-
Updates for puppies including their weights, photos, training videos, and notes will be shared to prospective owners
5. CONFORMATION & TEMPERAMENT ASSESSMENT
-
Between 7-8 weeks of age, puppies are evaluated for physical attributes and structure, as well as temperament. At this point, we will know which puppies go into a potential show home, and which would be better suited structurally as a performance prospect or pet.
6. PUPPIES GO HOME!
-
You will receive AKC paperwork, shot and veterinary records, a puppy care package, training handbook, and will need to sign our contract when you pick your puppy up. The remaining balance of the puppy is due prior to pickup/delivery. Owners are responsible for any cost associated with transporting of the pup. We provide mentorship, guidance, support, and training assistance for the life of you and your pup!
