Price
Puppy prices include a $200 refundable deposit and $1,800 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“Matching puppies to prospective owners is a bit of a “dating game.” We want each puppy to be matched to an owner that best meets everyone's goals and personalities. Your deposit ($200) tells me you are serious. Once the puppies are older, I begin matching puppies to prospective buyers. If the puppy you want is not available, I will refund your deposit through this site. Final payment is due one week before puppy pick up.”
