We are here to educate and assist our puppy buyers when needed. You do not purchase a dog and go away, you join the family. We are there if you need us, but do not put pressure on you to connect unless you need help. Getting a dog from us is like adopting a child, so if you don't feel you have the commitment for one of our puppies then it is not necessary to go the next step in this process. We do not let our puppies go into their homes until they are 10-12 weeks of age and they are on the way to being house trained, crate and lead trained and will stand for examination and are well socialized. Ears, if cropped, will be healed and you will be sent home with instructions for taping for your vet. We can try to locate a vet or breeder in your area that knows how to tape the ears. We will sell a natural eared dog if that is your preference. Our pet/companions have had shots up to the age they leave, cropped, wormed, health guarantee, and initial training (crate, leash, standing for examine, house breaking started) before they go home. Companion quality puppies will be sold on a limited registration. This means that the puppy is fully registered with the American Kennel Club, but may not compete in Conformation shows, nor may it be bred. I recommend that companions be spayed or neutered at the appropriate time. Show potential price is discussed individually depending on age and quality of dog you are purchasing. I can safely say if you want a companion/pet puppy you need to have about $500 set aside to purchase your equipment needed: crate, toys, bowls, bedding, collar/lead and the food(s) and supplements we recommend. This does not include any other expenses you need to incur, such as a fenced in yard, a dog sitter and a new mini-van so your puppy travels in style!
