More information for Deposits and how they are used for Puppy
Selection Process:
We have amazing dogs from Champion European Bloodlines, many of our dogs are also
champions. More than 95% of our puppies go to repeat clients and their referrals.
You can find clients who have gotten their babies from us, all
across the USA, including Alaska & Hawaii and even Mexico and Australia.
Our clients will tell you, our babies are well worth the wait. When considering getting a puppy from us, please keep in mind,
planning ahead by doing an early deposit is highly recommended.
We recommend early deposits as we offer our puppies as they
are born, to clients in order of deposits received.
We
are typically 1-2 litters out on our deposit waiting list and sometimes even 3-4 depending on time of year. So, planning ahead is very important if you are wanting to get a
puppy from us.
When placing a deposit, we always recommend placing it for the next available puppy,
this will give you the most options for puppies as they become available and the puppy selection process.
When puppies
are born or become available at anytime, they are offered to clients in order of deposits received for each desired breed.
If anyone with deposits ahead of your deposit,
chooses to pass on a puppy, for any reason, then the passed on puppy would be offered to the next client with deposit, and
so on, in order of deposits received, until someone chooses the puppy available.
Usually clients
will do a deposit for specific breed, color and sex (male or female). Some clients will just do a breed deposit and
are open to color or either male or female.
Some clients will pass on puppies
born, while waiting for their specific preferences they desired and requested before choosing their puppy.
While other clients who may have done deposit
for specific color or sex, choose to take one sooner, even if not what they originally did deposits for, taking an alternate
color or sex or sometimes even another breed etc, if that means they can get a puppy sooner.
When this happens, the available puppy (s) are offered to the
next client with deposit on that waiting list, and so on, until someone chooses the puppy available.
People
that are more flexible on sex and color tend to get puppies sooner than those who are more specific on sex and/or desired
color of puppy wanted.
Clients passing on a puppy, do NOT lose their place in order of deposits received,
by passing on a puppy. The next puppies born, will be offered again, to clients in order of deposits received, for the
same breed.
Examples for reasons a client may choose to pass on a puppy:
timing/availability of puppies to go home, wanting specific color, wanting Male or Female or waiting for specific parents.
We typically
tentatively accepting deposits for "Next Available Puppies" Usually this is a season ahead, meaning:
if Spring/Summer, then we are typically accepting deposits for Summer/Fall puppies
or Fall/Winter puppies. Or if Fall/Winter, then we are usually accepting deposits for our Spring/Summer puppies.
Obviously,
we cannot guarantee the color or sex of the puppies born from any litter, until they are actually born, as we have zero control
how many male/female or what color or how many will be born.
We tentatively accept deposits for an estimated 8 puppy litter compiled of any combination
of 8 total; 4M 4F deposits or Open to either m/f. This is an average based on "our litter size averages".
Clients are always more than welcome at anytime,
to move their deposit to any other available puppy, meaning deposits are always transferable to any other available puppy,
regardless of breed, color, sex or age of puppy.
If for any reason a client wanted to switch to another available puppy because they were able to
get a puppy sooner or did not want to wait or wanted to get a different puppy or breed of puppy, our clients always have
this option.
If a client moves their deposit from one litter of the same breed to another litter, meaning: passes or
waiting for another litter/same breed, their deposit is moved in the same date and order as it was received.
Passing on a puppy = moving deposit to the
next litter/same breed of puppies with another litter/same breed, does not alter the order of people waiting for puppies,
It MAY however, move people up or down the
list for specific sex or color, but in general does not alter the order for clients waiting for puppies from that breed.
When a client
requests us to move their deposit to another breed, their deposit is then dated for the date they requested us to move their
deposit to the alternate breed of puppies.
We do NOT allow the newly moved deposit to bump the people already with deposits paid that have been already
waiting for that specific breed of puppies.
When switching breeds, the date of received deposit is changed because it would alter things for clients
that have already been told what deposit order they have.
So we will ONLY move deposits to another breed, with the deposit date for order of puppies to
be offered to clients to be changed to the date moved to that we were told to switch breed desired.
That way previous deposits paid are not altered due to someone
switching what breed they would like to get a puppy from.
FYI; sometimes a puppy becomes available and a client
with deposit on another breed hears about it and wants the puppy, they have option to move their deposit to the available
puppy, so long as there is not someone with a deposit paid ahead of them waiting for that breed of puppy.
The gist of all of this = the more flexible you are for what you want in a puppy ie = male / female or
color preference, will also determine how soon you will be offered a puppy.
Otherwise, remember, the order of deposits
paid, determines the order puppies are offered to clients and the puppy selection process order.
We do everything we can to make getting a puppy from us as quickly as possible and
always fair to everyone, no matter if you
are a new client, a referral client or a repeat client who has gotten several puppies/dogs from us over the last nearly 40yrs.
We strive for everyone to be happy in getting
a puppy from us with a fair and very spelled out process, so that there is no confusion for anyone. We take the time to spell out all options clients have when doing a deposit while
waiting for their puppy.

Micro Chipping:
|
It is an extremely good idea to permanently
identify your dog with a tattoo or microchip. Microchips are the most popular form of permanent identification. The
chip is injected like a shot, just under the skin, between the shoulder blades. The chip can be read at any vet office or
humane society. It is used to identify your puppy/dog when found or provide proof of ownership. It does NOT hurt
your puppy/dog, although sometimes it startles them while we are putting it in. We do this here at the farm, it is like
getting your ears pierced and only takes takes a few minutes. ALL of our puppies are microchiped. For your other animals,
your veterinarian can also do this for you.

Picking up Puppies:

at time of pick up of your puppy. You will receive your puppies shot record written bill of sale, health guarantee,
