Getting a puppy from Kathy
Kathy has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
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.
Price
Puppy prices include a $500 deposit and $3,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“This deposit holds a spot for you to make a selection around 8 weeks of age. We test the temperament of each puppy and try to take each buyer’s request for sex, color and personality that will fit best for their family. We also consider if the buyer is interested in sports performance or therapy work. The deposit becomes non refundable after 6 weeks but individual circumstances are considered.”
Contract & health guarantee
Kathy 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.

+7Kathy and Neal felt like family from the start. From our first emails to my visit to their home, followed by Neal getting bringing supplies and helping.him get set up here. The ongoing support and helpful tips from Kathy have boosted my confidence that I'm doing the right things for Jazzy LB. Wish we lived closer, but I'm sure we'll keep the connection between our families - canine and human - strong.
