Their health, structure, and personality are always our top priorities.

We make sure each puppy is set up for success before going to their new home.

Question 10

How does the pre-paid waitlist work?

How are puppies selected from the waitlist?

Accepted Answer

When a litter is born, we contact families on the waitlist in order.
Selection usually begins around 1–2 weeks of age, once coat types are more visible.
Each family has 24 hours to choose. If no selection is made, the deposit rolls over to the next puppy or litter, and we move to the next person in line.

• Early access before public release

• Priority selection

• Better chances of getting your preferred puppy

Can you guarantee timing or availability?
