Heather 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.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

“We will begin to take non refundable deposits when the puppies are one week old. Puppies can be picked/assigned in order of the waiting list. The remaining balance will be due when the puppy goes home. We will take a $300-$500 deposit to hold a spot on the waiting list. If you don’t get a puppy from the litter you put a deposit on, you will have the opportunity to get a puppy from another litter.”
Heather 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 Heather 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 Heather directly.
When you pay and communicate on Good Dog, you’re covered by Payment Protection.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Heather.

We had a great experience with Heather buying our pup. Our Presley was given a take home bundle with a lot of helpful items and information. We love our Presley and would use this breeder again.
