Valeria & John 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 8 weeks old.
“Since we want to ensure the long-term happiness of both the puppies and their new families, the more we get to know about each puppy, the better we can match a family’s idea of their “perfect Griff” with the puppy that best fits. We utilize the “Puppy Head Start” early development program and continually evaluate, shape and reinforce the personalities of each puppy from their birth until they go to their new homes.”

“ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE but… they are TRANSFERRABLE from one litter to another. You will never loose your deposit, however you may need to wait a until the “right puppy for you” is available.”
