Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when new puppies are available?

If you want the excitement of having a puppy from the earliest possible moment, it’s best to reserve a space on one of our litter lists.

 

The commitment when you reserve a space on a list is $309 deposit + a completed and signed buyer’s agreement is that once those pups are born, there will be at least one, who will be your forever pup. This reservation also means you’ll always be the first to know when new puppies are available because we’ll email everyone on the list to let them know new puppies have arrived.

No. We transfer deposits between litters for up to 12 months, sometimes longer, depending on the situation. However, if we are unable to match you to a suitable puppy within at least 12 months, ONLY then will we refund your deposit.

Yes. Life happens. Family and medical emergencies, changes in finances, realizing your not quite ready for the commitment of owning a puppy, etc. That’s just the humans. Life happens to dogs, too. Heats get missed, pregnancies don’t ‘take’, not enough puppies are born for those who want one, too many puppies are born so being puppy ready gets ramped up for some.

 

We transfer deposits between litters for up to 12 months, sometimes longer, depending on the situation.

*Transportation costs are a separate charge and not included in purchase price.

Your puppy’s parent’s health records are available online under their picture and description on the Puppy Parents’ Page.

 

We follow OFA guidelines for our Golden Retriever and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parents as well as Embark, GenSol, or PawPrint Genetics for DNA summaries. Please note, as Embark, GenSol, and PawPrint Genetics reveal, what is written is not a diagnosis; only a vet can make that determination.

We have a THREE YEAR Health Guarantee.

 

If your pup has a LIFE THREATENING genetic health issue, we will refund the money up to the price of the puppy. Please see your buyer’s agreement or the health guarantee itself for the steps on how to request a refund.

Once you receive a refund, the buyer’s agreement is void. Our business is concluded.
Puppies are wriggly little things, especially when they’re first born. It’s surprising how much they move before their eyes are even open. So, once puppies are born, you’ll receive pictures once every other week beginning in week one, then as it gets closer to time to choose your puppy, they’ll come once every week beginning around week five or six.

You will start by filling out the Prospective Buyer Questionnaire, and once we’ve read through it and are satisfied our puppy is going to good home, we’ll contact you to request a $309 deposit and signed Buyer’s Agreement.

Any puppy is a big responsibility and should not be entered into lightly. However, we do understand unexpected situations arise – allergy concerns, unexpected medical or health issues – something which might leave you unable to care for your puppy properly. Should you decide your puppy isn’t a good fit after 15 days or less, there will be a re-home fee. The re-home fee includes:

  • Transportation costs to return your puppy to us
  • Fees including vet’s exam, immunizations, grooming, re-listing
  • Boarding fee at $10/day for up to 20 days

Your “Estimated* Due Date” will indicate when we expect your puppy to be born. Your “Estimated* Go Home Date” will indicate when we expect your puppy to go home with you.

 

*Note: Dates are estimated and can be off by as much as 10 days or more and up to 2 months based on the natural cycles of the mother dogs and when they’re bred.

Families who have a reserved spot on the list will receive an email to announce puppies have arrived, how many puppies the mama had, and then how many of each gender. Beginning the following week, in Week 1, you’ll receive puppy pictures.
