MAILING LIST

What does getting added to the mailing list mean?

Our mailing list does not require a deposit or any commitment. We will use this to email you and let you know when we have litters ready for reservation BEFORE we post anything on the website or advertise opportunities to the general public.

There is no rank order or guarantees.

PRICING

How much will a puppy cost?

Pricing can vary for a number of reasons but as a general rule our puppies range between $1500 and $3500.

DEPOSIT

How do I put down a deposit? How much is a deposit? What does it cover?

If you are ready to reserve a puppy we will be happy to send you a copy of our contract. Once the contract is complete, someone will review your submission and contact you with payment options. We typically utilize Cashapp, Zelle, and Cash for payments.

Deposits are a standard $500 regardless of breed or litter.

A deposit reserves a spot in a specific litter and holds your pick for that litter. It is non-refundable but can be transferred to a different litter if needed and mutually agreed upon.

RESERVATIONS

What does it mean to reserve a puppy?

Once we confirm one of our dogs is pregnant we will begin taking reservations for that litter. A reservation consists of submission of a completed contract and deposit fee. At this point you will know which pick you have for the specific litter you requested.

Since we will not know exactly how many puppies there are in the litter, we will only accept up to 5 reservations per litter. Once puppies are born we will add more slots as applicable. If there are ever less than 5 puppies in a litter we will transfer your deposit to another litter.

PUPPY SELECTION

When do I get to pick my puppy?

Pictures and videos will be posted to our Facebook page on an ongoing basis once puppies are born so you can get a good look at all puppies in the litter.

When puppies are between 4 and 6 weeks old and temperment can be properly assessed, we will reach out in order of reservation to each family and have you choose your puppy.

Once you've selected your puppy you'll begin to get individualized pictures and videos.

FINAL PAYMENT

When is my final payment due?

Final payments are required in order to receive your puppy. You can utilize the same methods mentioned for deposits.

PUPPY PICK UP

When and where do I get my puppy? What comes home with my puppy?

When puppies are 8 weeks old they will be ready to go home. Puppies can be picked up at our home in Chesterfield, VA. If you are unable to travel to this location to pick up the puppy please contact us for options prior to putting down a deposit.

At the time of pick up, you will not only receive your puppy but also the following items in your new puppy pack:

Vaccine/Health Record
