Pricing Policy

The following is our pricing policy for our Maltese, Havanese, Havamalt & Maltipoo puppies (and any other breeds we may add to our program).

The goal of our pricing policy for our Maltese, Havanese, Havamalt, & Maltipoo puppies (and any other breeds we may add to our program) is to be as fair as possible to everyone on our Waiting List.  Supported by the latest science, technology, and decades of research and experience, we take great pride in working to ensure your puppy will be healthy and an enjoyable canine companion.  With all we put into them, our puppies are the best puppies that money can buy and we price them accordingly.

Our Pricing Policy

• The price you will pay for your puppy will be based on the email price quote you received when you first signed up for the Waiting list, providing that: (1) Your Waiting List Security deposit to obtain your position on our Waiting List is received within 7 days of receiving the email with the price quote, and
  (2) You accept the first puppy you are offered who matches the preferences you state on joining the Waiting List.  If you do not accept said puppy and instead postpone to receive a puppy from a later litter for any reason, your price will be the current price at the time you accept your puppy from a future litter.
• When a litter is born and we expect to be able to provide a puppy for you from that litter, we will send you an email to confirm that you are ready to receive a puppy.  If you are ready at that time, you will be required to put down a $500 Litter Reservation Deposit (previously called the Ready For Puppy Security Deposit) within 3 days.  
• W​hen you are offered a puppy and make the decision to accept your puppy, your remaining balance is due at puppy pick-up, when your puppy is 60 days old (8 weeks and 4 days old).
• Based on market conditions, we will increase our puppy prices from time-to-time.
  
• We have no obligation to notify you of price changes, but we are willing to answer inquiries at any time.

Our Security Deposit Policy

• Your position on our Waiting List is determined by the date we receive your Waiting List Security Deposit.
• Your Waiting List Security Deposit guarantees you a puppy as soon as a puppy that matches your preferences is available.
• Your ​Litter Reservation Deposit (previously called the Ready For Puppy Security Deposit) guarantees that we will offer you a puppy from our current litter or litters.
• Your Waiting List Security Deposit and ​Litter Reservation Deposit (previously called the Ready For Puppy Security Deposit) are non-refundable, but will be applied towards the purchase of your new puppy should something unforeseen happen that does not allow us to provide a puppy from the current litter or litters.  For more information, please visit Should Ethical Breeders Require Non-Refundable Deposits?

Policy On Puppies Boarded With Us Beyond 60 Days

• The final payment is due at puppy pick-up, when your puppy is 60 days old (8 weeks and 4 days old).
• Occasionally - by prior request - we will board a puppy past 60 days (up to the following Friday or Sunday). Because this age is critical for puppy bonding time, we do not usually keep a puppy longer than the Friday or Sunday following the puppy pickup date. 
• On rare occasions - by prior request - we will board a puppy for up to 4 weeks beyond 6 days.  We require a boarding fee of $100/week for puppies boarded with us beyond 60 days.  We also require that the full boarding fee and the puppy's remaining balance be paid in full by 60 days old. 
• While every safety precaution is taken, any puppy kept with us past that day is done so at the owner's risk, and we cannot be held responsible if something unforeseen happens to the puppy.
