FAQ
General Information:
Q: How much are your puppies? What do they come home with?
A: Pricing depends on title status of the parents:
Non-titled parents: $2500
One titled parent: $3000
Two titled parents: $3500
All dogs are sold on limited AKC registration. They are not permitted to be bred or collected under any circumstances if they are limited registration. This is clearly stated in the signed final sales contract. Full AKC registration (breeding rights) will be granted once advanced titles are achieved (IGP1 minimum or equivalent) and all health exams passed (HD, ED, DM minimum). This is all clearly stated within the signed final sales contract, to protect the buyer.
Pups receive:
2, 4, and 6 weeks dewormer
8 weeks DHPP, dewormer, Pet Armour Plus (flea and tick prevention), Sentinel Spectrum (heart worm prevention)
Transfer into new owners name with AKC
10 weeks dewormer, DHPP #2, AKC Reunite Microchip
12 weeks Rabies (if flying)
OR DHPP #3 (if driving)
Q: Do pups come with full AKC registration? Does it cost extra?
A: Pups will be sold on limited AKC registration with the exception of select programs/individuals receiving full rights on the contractual agreement of the dog being first proven with advanced titles (IGP1 minimum or equivalent) and all health exams passed (HD, ED, DM minimum). This is stated in the signed sales contract, rights will be lifted from limited to full once these minimum stipulations are met. We do not charge extra for full rights, it must be earned through proving the dog first.
Q: Do you have a wait-list? How much are deposits? Do you ship/arrange transport?
A: Yes, wait lists are listed on the upcoming litter page as well as social media platforms. Deposits are $800 non-refundable and will be deducted from the final purchase price. You can get on the wait list by emailing through the contact us page or through Facebook/Instragram page's messenger. Link for those pages at the bottom of the website.
Puppy payment is due in full at 8 weeks. At this time the puppy will be transferred in to the owner's name with AKC, so full commitment is required.
Pups can go home at 10 to 12 weeks depending on whether they are being driven or flown. We can arrange the flight by cargo or with a flight nanny on the buyer's behalf, but all expenses related to shipping will be the buyer's responsibility. International shipping is also available, same rules apply. We do not use ground shipping, pups must be picked up in person or in some cases we can meet the buyer halfway with the puppy for a fee.
Q: How do we socialize our pups?
A: All puppies are born and raised in the home from birth to 5-6 weeks. From day one they are handled and started immediately on ENS on day 3 to 16.
Puppy ENS stands for Early Neurological Stimulation - a short, structured set of exercises done with very young puppies (typically days 3-16 of life) to gently “wake up” their developing nervous system. It’s sometimes called the “Super Dog Program” because it was originally researched by the U.S. military canine program.
What the exercises look like, they’re quick - about 3-5 seconds each, once per day:
Tactile stimulation (tickling between toes)
Head held upright
Head pointed down
Supine position (on their back)
Thermal stimulation (brief exposure to a cool surface)
When done correctly, studies and breeder experience suggest puppies may develop:
Stronger stress tolerance
Improved cardiovascular performance
Better immune response
Increased confidence and resilience
It gives them a tiny controlled amount of stress at the right time, which helps their system adapt and grow stronger. Further ENS information can be found here: https://breedingbetterdogs.com/article/early-neurological-stimulation
Nails are trimmed once weekly from 2-12 weeks.
Pups are taken individually, in pairs, and collectively on outings from 5 - 12 weeks to help with environmental desensitization and early socialization.
They learn invaluable life skills and behaviors during the 12 weeks they live with their parent(s) and littermates. Since they go through fear stages between 7 to 10 weeks, this longer window also helps avoid sending them home during an already stressful time internally.
