A non-refundable deposit of $250.00 secures your spot on our waitlist and is applied toward the total puppy price. An additional non-refundable deposit of $250.00 is due once the litter is born if you want to commit to that litter and is applied toward the total puppy price. If a litter is already on the ground then a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 would secure your spot. The remaining balance of $900.00 is due at pick-up when your puppy is nine weeks old.
We accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle and Cash.

Deposit & Payment
What's Included With Every Puppy
-
Lifetime Health Guarantee on Genetic Diseases — We stand behind the health of every puppy we produce. Every parent is OFA certified in hips, elbows, eyes and heart. Parents are also DNA tested for genetic diseases through Embark before entering our program.
-
AKC Registration - We register your puppy at pick up with the AKC at no additional cost to you.
-
Microchipping and AKC Reunite - We microchip your puppy at 5 weeks old and we registered them with AKC Reunite at puppy pick up with no additional cost to you.
-
Personalized Puppy Folder - In this folder you will find your pups vaccine records, a copy of the vaccine schedule, an info sheet with all the items we use and recommend, a copy of your puppy contract, a personalized evaluation of your pup, a training guide that takes you through year one, and some yummy (I assume) dog treat recipes.
-
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) - From day 4 until day 16 we put your puppy through 5 steps that cause mini stressors so the puppies learn that they can overcome stressful situations.
-
Sound Acclimation — We introduce your puppy to household sounds and recordings of sounds like fireworks, thunder and gun shots. We also expose them to real-world stimuli throughout the first nine weeks, like trips to Tractor Supply and Home Depot (once they have their first round of shots).
-
Small Pet Introduction - We have two cats that interact with the puppies daily, this helps the puppies understand small pets are not prey.
-
Nail Trims - We trim your puppy's nails every few days to get them used to it, we use nail clippers and a Dremel to grind them down.
-
Crate Training Started - We start crate training for you so it should be an easier transition. We start by feeding the puppies in individual crates, then we let 2 puppies share a crate for naps, then we move to puppies taking naps by themselves in the crate.
-
Potty Training Started - We use Little Wolves potty trays in our puppy pens, this teaches the puppies to go to a designated spot to potty, a place that is away from their food and sleep area.
-
Swag Bag - Helpful items for you and your puppy.
-
Us - We will be here for you and your pup every step of the way. We are always available for questions and we even offer discounted boarding for those pups that live local.
