Our notification list is a list of email addresses of those who wish to be contacted via email when we have puppies available. We will not take phone numbers as it is too time-consuming to call as we can have 50 or more email addresses on the list. We will not take deposits on unborn puppies.  We can note on the list if you are looking for a particular type of puppy: male/female, smooth coat/long coat, a particular color.  

Here is how it works.

• After a litter is born, we will normally wait around 3 weeks before we make a decision as to which puppies will be available from a litter.  This is the point that we will start taking deposits on our puppies. This allows us time to make sure all the puppies are healthy and to determine if they are going to be long or smooth coats. Sometimes we will wait longer, especially in a litter of puppies with breeding/show potential. 

 

• Once we have made that decision, we will send an email to those on the email list before we post them for sale on our website, AKC Marketplace or puppies.com. If you were interested in a specific puppy, you would submit our Puppy Application (If you have completed a Puppy Application in the past, we keep those on file so you would need to email us with your interest in that specific puppy.) From here, all applications for a specific puppy are reviewed.
   

• Once we review the applications for that puppy, we will notify you and accept a deposit at that point. Please do not send a deposit until you have been notified. We normally give the first person contacted 24 hours to make arrangements for the deposit. We don't mind emailing more photos or even doing a video or video chat of the puppy during those 24 hours but the arrangements for the deposits need to be made within the 24 hours of the email from us saying you are first on the list for putting a deposit on that puppy. 

• ​

• If the arrangements have NOT been made within the 24 hours, then we will move on to the person who emailed us second about that puppy.  We have had too many people say they want a puppy and then we never hear from them again.  Then we have lost opportunities to find that puppy a home because we have told others who may contact us that the puppy had been sold. 

•  

• We want to be fair to everyone on the list and we feel this is a fair way to do it.

• If you have any other questions about our notification list, please contact us.
