Getting a puppy from Amanda
Amanda has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $1,000 non-refundable deposit and between $2,500 - $4,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“The price includes AKC registration papers, vet check up, age appropriate vaccines, dewormings and medical care, preliminary training, socialization, and more! Health Guarantee for the first year too! Deposits are non-refundable, as we take our time placing puppies to the right families, if someone decides at the time of pick up it's just not for them, it takes time and money in order to cover the costs associated with continuing veterinary care for anything age appropriate while we try to find a new home that is a perfect home for the baby!”
Contract & health guarantee
Amanda 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.
