Is there anything else you would like us to know or questions you have? Please include below.
To secure your spot on our waitlist, a non-refundable deposit of $500 is required. This deposit confirms your commitment and helps us ensure quality homes for our puppies. We process waitlist spots based on the order of approved applications and deposits received. If we cannot provide a puppy by the end of 2025, your deposit will be fully refunded. By making a deposit, you commit to accepting a puppy from the litters due in late 2024 or 2025. We will update you on your waitlist position and communicate via email or phone. If you choose to pass on a litter, you may retain your place for future litters, but repeated deferrals will require a discussion to determine your continued placement. Final puppy selection will be based on the order of deposits and our evaluation of your preferences and the puppies’ suitability. Applications are processed in the order that they are received and if your home is a good fit, you’ll receive further instructions and updates.
