Approved applicants are welcome to visit by appointment once puppies are 5+ weeks old. For biosecurity, we don't host visits during the first month.

Ear cropping is optional and discussed during matching. If you elect cropping, it is performed by our board-certified veterinary surgeon before go-home, at cost. Natural-eared puppies are equally welcome in our program.

Approved applications join the waitlist in order of approval. When a litter is born we work down the list for matching — temperament fit comes first, color preference second. Deposits are only requested after a puppy match is confirmed.

AKC registration, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming, vet exam record, 5 lbs of current food, scent blanket, our puppy-raising guide, and lifetime breeder support.

All breeding dogs have: annual echocardiogram and 24-hour Holter (DCM screening), vWD status via Embark, OFA hips, and OFA thyroid. Results are published on each dog's profile — we believe in showing, not telling.

A $500 reservation deposit holds your matched puppy and is applied to the final price. Deposits are transferable to a future litter if timing doesn't work out, per our written deposit agreement. All sales are concluded directly under our puppy contract.
