Q. & A. with Ray
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Ray
Ray 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 $750 non-refundable deposit and between $2,250 - $4,250 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“The $750 acts as a retainer fee. It is non refundable and non transferable. Once you place a puppy it is removed from the market for you. If you decide to change puppies I will not refund the first deposit. Please understand that when a puppy is not seen on the market, it is VERY hard to find homes as they get older. This is the reason we keep the deposit; more time and money spent on marketing, updated pictures, and shots if needed. Please be sure the puppy you pick is the puppy you want.”
Contract & health guarantee
Ray 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 Ray 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 Ray directly.

Working with Ray was the easiest process! She truly cares for all her babies and assures that they go to good, loving homes. Asher (Blessed) is just the absolutely perfect little ball of fluff and has fit into our family with ease!

I purchased “Bourbon” from Ray of Poms and have had a wonderful experience! Ray was responsive, answered all of my questions in detail, and coordinated flying Bourbon all the way to Alaska with ease! The flight nanny she used took fabulous care of Bourbon during his travels and he arrived freshly groomed and better than expected. Ray remained in contact after he was delivered to help with transferring AKC paperwork and answered any questions that came up. Bourbon has been a wonderful addition to our family with a sweet sociable personality. It is clear that he was handled frequently, socialized, and accustomed to grooming before he came to us. I get many compliments on his beautiful colors and thick coat! 5 stars ⭐️ highly recommend!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
