Our Process

From the moment you place your deposit to the day your puppy comes home — here's exactly what to expect.

How It Works

Your Puppy's Journey Home

We keep the process simple, transparent, and exciting from the moment you reach out.

01

Place Your Deposit

$500 non-refundable deposit secures your spot in line. You'll fill out a short application so we know what you're looking for. Deposits transfer to the next litter if needed.

02

Birth & Early Care

Puppies are born in our home and monitored 24/7 in the first weeks. At 3 days old, our vet handles tail docking and dew claw removal under safe conditions.

03

Vet Check at 6 Weeks

Each pup gets a full health exam, first-round vaccinations, and a microchip from our vet. You'll receive complete medical records before pickup.

04

Puppy Selection

After vet clearance, picks happen in deposit order. The first 3 of each sex are presold to deposit holders. Remaining pups are released afterward.

05

Choose Your Training

Pick the training level that fits your life — from a basic foundation to a full AKC STAR program or custom field training for hunting work.

06

Welcome Home

Pickup happens on the agreed date. Can't make it? We board at $25/day or deliver to your door at $2/mile. Either way — your pup arrives ready.

We presell the first 3 puppies of each sex, then wait for the litter to arrive to sell the remaining puppies.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Everything you'd want to know about our process before reaching out.

Is the $500 deposit really non-refundable?
Yes — but it's transferable. If a litter doesn't produce the pup you wanted, or your timing changes, your deposit moves to the next available litter. We just can't return it as cash, because reserving your spot means we turn other families away.
How long is the typical wait from deposit to pickup?
It depends on where you fall in line and our breeding schedule. Most families wait 3–6 months from deposit to taking their puppy home. We'll give you a clearer timeline when you place your deposit.
Can I visit before placing a deposit?
Absolutely. We strongly encourage it. Schedule a visit and you can meet the parent dogs, tour the kennel, and see exactly how our pups are raised. No pressure, no sales pitch.
What if I change my mind about training packages?
You can upgrade any time before training begins. Once we've started a package, we can't refund it — but we can apply credits toward future services for you or another family member.
Do you ship puppies?
We don't ship via cargo. We do offer ground delivery at $2/mile within driving distance, or you can arrange a flight nanny service we've worked with before. Most families pick up in person — it's a great way to meet the team.
What's your health guarantee?
Every puppy comes with a written health guarantee. We guarantee against genetic defects for the first 24 months. If any covered issue arises, we'll work with you on a replacement pup or a refund — full details are in the contract you'll sign at deposit.
