Getting a puppy from Vicki

Vicki 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 $500 refundable deposit and between $1,700 - $2,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“We do first puppy shots, a fecal to make sure they don't have any worms, AKC registration papers which I submit for the new owners, micro chipping, and a White Pine collar and leash and a few toys. Since we do not breed that often, if there are not enough puppies to cover deposits we will refund the deposit immediately but if you back out and I have a puppy available for you, I keep the deposit.”

Contract & health guarantee

Vicki 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 Vicki 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 Vicki directly.
