Price
Puppy prices include a $500 refundable deposit and between $1,000 - $1,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“The price includes registration, tails and declaws, 8 week health vaccinations and certificates, bandannas to go home with, along with specific toys and food. All of my puppies are the same price in each litter. The deposit is refundable, but I ask that if you place the deposit be sure you want the dog as there are others that do.
