Application

Please submit the application at the bottom of this page and a $750 deposit once approved.

We place puppies according to their potential compatibility with the lifestyles, desired activities, and goals of applicants, not necessarily in the order of deposits received. **We give special priority to professional trainers wanting a demo dog, and applicants that are eager to show the dog** Structure and temperament evaluations will be performed by unbiased third party professionals between 7-8 weeks of age, and they can go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age. We are not willing to make placement decisions prior to evaluations. We recommend that owners fly to us to pickup their puppy, and the puppy can fly home in the cabin as a Carry-On Pet. If an owner is unable to pickup the puppy, we will deliver it for a fee of $400/day of travel + expenses. We offer additional puppy training for $3000/month starting at 8 weeks old.

Conditions of Sale and Guarantees:

  • Show and Breeding Prospects are $3000. Puppies with a disqualifying fault are $2500 and may not be shown or bred.

The $750 deposit will be held in reserve to pay for OFA Hips, Elbows, Heart, and Eyes when the puppy is 24 months old, and we will pay the provider directly at the time of service.
