Getting a puppy from Sandra

Sandra 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.

Sandra 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 do temperament testing in the days leading up to selection day visiting. I do mark pups with certain attributes, but the final choice of a puppy is always yours to make. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $2,000 refundable deposit that secures a spot on the general waitlist. The remaining $1,750 - $2,000 is due before pickup, plus applicable taxes and fees.

Pay over time with Klarna.

“Pups are born in and raised in our home, socialized and loved daily by family members aged toddler through adult. Pups are microchipped, vet checked and more. The order of deposit received equals the order of selection of your new family member. Balance is due prior to the puppy reaching 8 weeks of age.”

Contract & health guarantee

Sandra 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 Sandra 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 Sandra directly.
