Getting a puppy from Julia
Julia has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Julia partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.
“I require a thorough application to be filled out. This application lets you know what is important to me and gives lots of information about a prospective home . A placement can then be discussed using this information so that the right puppy is placed in the right home.”
Price
“The price for a Drogheda Danes puppy is $2500 UNCROPPED. If a crop is desired I can arrange the ear trim at a veterinarian's office for $600. This ear trim does require significant aftercare in the form of ear taping while cartilage stiffens. If you have asked for the puppy to be cropped, the deposit is non-refundable. Otherwise it may be refundable depending on the circumstances.”
Contract & health guarantee
Julia may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Julia offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Julia directly.
