Puppy Application Form

Puppy Application

The information contained in this application is used only for the purpose of placing a puppy and will not be used elsewhere. There is a non-refundable $200 waitlist fee to be on our Master Waitlist that will go towards the total price of the puppy. Once there is a confirmed pregnancy, you will be contacted via email to confirm if you want to be on the Reservation list for that litter. An additional $300 reservation fee will be required to hold your puppy pick spot and will be collected after a confirmed pregnancy and will be deducted off the total price of the puppy.

Where did you hear about us?*
Please provide Social Media usernames: (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc)
Preferences

Please keep in mind that the more flexible you are about size, gender, color, etc., the more likely you are to find a suitable puppy. The more specific you are about aesthetic requirements, the longer you should expect it to take to find a puppy to 'match' your requirements. Breeding is a complex endeavor, and our first priorities will always be health and temperament, not color or other aesthetic traits. That said, we will, of course, do our best to match you with the puppy you find most visually appealing and we will never force you to get a specific puppy. If a puppy isn’t available that you want, you will be allowed to transfer to another litter.
