PURCHASE INFORMATION
Application/Screening Process
Often, it is helpful for prospective owners to complete a questionnaire to help both you and us to determine whether your personal situation, lifestyle, and preferences are compatible with a specific puppy. If you choose to, you can complete our adoption application which will give us a basis for discussing your needs and preferences in choosing your next pet.
Pricing
Puppies are priced individually depending on their sex, markings, and overall quality. Generally, females are slightly higher than males because they are in greater demand. Please call or e-mail for price quotes on specific puppies pictured in this site which are not specified. We accept the following payment methods: Credit cards are accepted through paypal with a 5% admin fee added to the final cost, personal checks are accepted for the holding and confirmation deposit, cash or credit card via paypal is requested for the final payment.
Registration
I reserve the right to offer a limited or full registration. Full registration must be discussed and approved before a deposit is placed on a puppy. I also reserve the right to decline the sale of a puppy for whatever reason I see necessary for the best interest of the puppy. You will receive your registration application when you pick up your puppy.
