Frequently Asked Questions

Simply let me know via email or text that you are interested in a puppy with your name, phone number and email address along with your desired color and sex. 

No. I reserve the right to ensure my puppies go to the best homes. Once you are on my waiting list I will begin vetting you as a potential owner. This process begins with getting to know your lifestyle and expectations for a puppy over the course of several weeks. Prior to accepting a deposit I will have you review my contract as I check your veterinary reference. If at any time I feel you are not the right fit I will let you know. 

Yes, but not until temperament testing is completed at 7 weeks of age. I want to know conformation, temperament and personality prior to accepting deposits. When you do put a deposit down it is on a specific puppy so you are guaranteed to get the puppy you want Instead of only getting who’s left over. I do not like locking someone into buying a puppy weeks or months in advance by taking deposits just to be on my waiting list. You can back out and remove yourself from my waiting list at any time if something comes up to where getting a puppy would not be ideal.  

My puppies come with limited AKC registration, Microchips, age appropriate deworming and vaccinations, 30 days health insurance. Nomograph testing, Volhard temperament testing, Early Neurological Stimulation, Early Scent Introduction, socialization, desensitization to noise, introduction to crate training and potty training. 

I do not remove dews because doing so can lead to arthritis later in life. 

That depends. Not all puppies in a litter are breeder quality. I will not sell breeding rights to a dog that is not also show quality. Sometimes full registration is not available due to the stud contract I agreed to. 

If I am able to sell full registration then it will be to established breeders who’s line compliments my own and to show homes.  Please contact me to discuss this further if interested in breeding rights. 

Deposits are paid via Good Dog’s website. Their platform is secure and they offer a payment protection plan that protects both myself and you. My deposit is $300, due after reading and agreeing to my contract and guarantees and after choosing which puppy you want after temperament testing at 7 weeks of age.  GoodDog does have processing fee in addition to the deposit amount. 

I guarantee their health for 7 days after they are picked up. If your puppy becomes ill during this time I will pay the deductible and remaining balance of their vet bill after insurance, up to 50% of the purchase price. 

I send puppies home with 30 days free health insurance through Trupanion which covers 90% of illness or injury expenses directly to the veterinarian after a $250 deductible. 

I do not. Puppies need to be picked up in person by the person purchasing the puppy. I like to meet all puppy buyers and go over all paperwork and sign the Bill of Sale stating the puppy is in your possession and paid in full.

I will meet buyers at the airport for an additional fee, if you choose to buy round trip tickets and fly into a Salt Lake City or Reno to pick up your puppy and then fly home with your puppy in the cabin (at buyer’s expense). 

I charge $300 to meet in Reno, NV. Salt Lake City, UT or Twin Falls, ID. The travel fee is divided between all buyers who can meet me there on the same day.
