We do not "hold" a puppy until we have a deposit and do not take a deposit until you are approved. All deposits are non-refundable. Please note that by making a deposit does not guarantee immediate placement. A non-refundable deposit of $1,000 will be required once your application has been approved. After that the remaining amount of $3,500 will be due at the time of pick up or delivery (delivery fee will be added and based upon location) Once you have been approved and have made your deposit you will be placed on the wait list. You will then be contacted once puppies are available to you at 2 weeks old. You then will have SIX weeks until your new puppy can go home.
