Q. & A. with Courtney
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Courtney
Courtney 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.
Courtney partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
"Puppies are matched once they are old enough and evaluated based on personalities and temperament"
Price
"Deposits are made once there is a guarantee of a puppy being available for the home after litter evaluations that are done at 8 weeks of age. Puppies do not go home until 12-14 weeks of age."
Contract & health guarantee
Courtney 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 Courtney 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 Courtney directly.
