Getting a puppy from Julie
Julie 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.

Price
“Both parents are DNA tested, free and clear of all genetic diseases, and are active Service Dogs. Every AKC-registered puppy receives a professional foundation with ESA/ESI programs, plus preliminary crate and grass pad training. They are vet-checked, dewormed starting at two weeks, and receive age-appropriate shots. Invest in a puppy built on unparalleled health and expertise. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place on our waiting list or to hold a specific puppy. Non-Refundable: The deposit is non-refundable if the Buyer cancels the purchase for any reason, as this fee compensates the Breeder for lost advertising time and other potential sales opportunities. Breeder Protection: In the unlikely event that the puppy becomes unfit for sale due to illness or injury while still in our care, the deposit will be either fully refunded or transferred to a puppy in a future litter, at the Buyer's discretion.”

Julie 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.
