Puppy Waiting List

As ethical breeders, we keep a puppy waiting list for our puppies.  Our puppy waiting list allows us to carefully plan our future litters and make sure all our puppies have good homes waiting for them.  This process also helps us to make sure each puppy is matched to the perfect person or family for their personality and provides us with ample time to offer plenty of education and support for families as they prepare for their new puppy.  

Please Note: If you are looking for a puppy immediately, please visit our Purchase A Puppy page for more information.

How The Waiting List Works

As ethical breeders, we believe in maintaining a fair and transparent process for our puppy waiting list, which we describe in the following paragraphs.

Basically, our waiting list is a collection of people who are 100% committed and ready to receive one of our fantastic puppies into their homes and lives!  These individuals or families join our puppy waiting list by completing our New Owner Questionnaire and submitting a security deposit.  Once we receive both, they have officially secured their position on our puppy waiting list.

Whenever puppies are born, we observe the puppies closely and learn a lot about their personalities and temperaments right from the beginning.  Sometimes there can be subtle clues even right at birth when they are observed closely as they are in our home.  As they grow and they begin moving around and their eyes open and they begin exploring the world through our socialization and enrichment activities and through their interactions with each other, we get to observe their behaviors and tendencies even more.  Eventually, we personality test our puppies, but we usually already know what their personality type is by the time we do the testing.  

We use the exclusive Elite Breeder Personality Testing & Matching protocol in our program.  This protocol takes into account not only the puppies' personalities, but also the family and lifestyle needs and preferences of our future fur-families as reported to us using the New Owner Questionnaire.  With this information, we professionally-match each puppy to their new home.  This way, we ensure your puppy is the perfect fit specifically for you and your family. 

We offer puppies to their new families based on the order of the waiting list and any preferences specified by our future fur-families.  This means the sooner you secure your position on the waiting list, the sooner you will receive your puppy.  Although you can join our waiting list at anytime, we always recommend doing so before litters are born.  This not only means you will receive your puppy sooner, but it also allows us to focus more attention on caring for our puppies.

Please Note:  Female puppies generally sell much faster than male puppies.  If you are only interested in a female puppy, it is highly recommended that you join the waiting list as far in advance as possible.  Most our female puppies are sold well before they are even born.
