OUR PROCESS
STEP 1
Fill out the Puppy Application, and we will connect back with you.
We love our puppies and want to find the best homes for them. If you are interested in any of our puppies, we will ask you first to please fill out our puppy application. After we receive it and review the information, we will contact you. We have created this questionnaire because we want the best match for you and your puppy. We feel it important for us to know as much about you and your lifestyle as we can.
​
STEP 2
After we receive a puppy application, we will contact you.
We want to talk to all of our prospective buyers to answer any questions and discuss any parts of the application. We are very open and don't necessarily turn people away because they might not have what you think would be the perfect fit. So please don't be intimidated by our application. After we have had a conversation and you decide that we are a good fit for one of our puppies, now is the time to put down a $100 reservation fee. It gives you the placement of puppy pick and reserves your fur baby! It tells us what available puppies we have left so we can share the love!
​
We do not do specific male and female picks. Many people don't have a preference and are more focused on the personality of the puppy. We find that the temperament of the dog has little to do with the sex of the dog.
​
We always reserve the right to withhold puppies for our own breeding program first. So if you are 1st pick it means you are 1st pick after we have chosen a puppy. We do not always take a puppy from our litters.
STEP 3
When puppies are born!!!
-
We will always post on FaceBook and can email or text you the dates of any breeding and pregnancy confirmations, whatever your desired communication preface.
-
We will keep you informed throughout the whole process: breedings confirmed due dates, and puppy arrivals. We will post lots of baby pictures and keep you informed of how everyone is doing.
STEP 4
Week 4 Visiting Allowed
We do encourage visiting in person after 4 weeks old. But please remember that we will also be making weekly videos and posting them. Please contact us if you would like to come get some puppy love!
​
STEP 5
Week 7 picking puppies and final payment due
It’s time to pick puppies! After we have finished our puppy personality tests, we are ready for puppy matching! We always reserve the right to take 1st picks of our puppies for our own program. After we share our week 7 video we will contact the 1st pick and they can choose by video, off sight or can set up an appointment to visit in person. After the 1st pick have been selected we will continue down in order of picks.
​
We will create a shared google photo album so you can see you the puppies grow! We will be sure to offer you much information about each puppy and their emerging personalities and help guide you so that you can make the best choice for you and your needs.
​
If you come to our house to pick out your forever friend, you may pay us on that day, or if you pick from a video, it will be time to send the final payment. We accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, credit card or checks that clear 7 days before pickup. No puppy will go home unless paid in full.
STEP 6
Puppy pick up
We allow our puppies to go home at 8 weeks old. We welcome and prefer local pick-up at our home in Columbus, NC. There may be delivery options available if you cannot come to our home to pick up your puppy. Please check with us for available options. We will not ship puppies on airlines unaccompanied by a person (in cabin flights only).
​
All puppies must be paid in full before they are picked up!
​
Rates
Our puppies are $3000 (AKC limited Registration). We feel strongly that every puppy has its perfect match, whether it be an adored family member, emotional support dog, therapy dog, or even a service dog. We do everything to make the best match with the puppy and their family.
The value of our puppies is determined by these factors:
-
Our breeding dogs have champion bloodlines and a show-quality pedigree.
-
We perform all the OFA-required health checks and screenings. We also have “all clear” DNA health screenings.
-
Our Puppy Jump Start Program has us working with these puppies every day. By 8 weeks, when your puppy is ready to go home, we will have started working towards basic skills, commands, and manners.
​​​
-
Only when your application has been approved and we have received your reservation fee will you be placed in line for puppy picking.
-
We accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, credit card or checks that clear 7 days before pickup. No puppy will go home unless paid in full.
