The Adoption Process
​
Waitlist & Application Process
Interested in one of our current or upcoming litters? Apply via RightPaw to help us understand your home and lifestyle for the best puppy match.
Deposit & Allocation
​Once approved, a $500 deposit secures your waitlist spot and locks in your puppy’s price. Puppies are allocated in the order deposits are received.
​
Breeding & Milestones
-
Honeymoon: Mating occurs via AI with the assistance of our reproductive vet. Heat cycles typically happen every 6-9 months.
-
Pregnancy Confirmation: An ultrasound at four weeks confirms pregnancy.
-
Reservation: Waitlist families are contacted—if timing isn’t right, you can defer to the next litter.
-
Whelping: Puppies arrive about five weeks after confirmation. An x-ray before birth helps estimate litter size.
-
Puppy Rearing: Puppies stay with us until at least eight weeks, receiving vet care, vaccinations, microchipping, early neurological stimulation, and scent introduction.
Puppy Selection & Allocation
At six weeks, each puppy undergoes a temperament assessment to match them with the most suitable family. While appearance matters, we prioritize personality and compatibility.
Meeting Your Puppy & Gotcha Day
Once temperament assessments are complete, families may meet their matched puppy.
Pickup typically happens at eight weeks, with interstate puppies flying at 8-12 weeks depending on airline policies.
