Q. & A. with Renae

Getting a puppy from Renae
Renae 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 non-refundable deposit and $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“We believe this is a fair price for this quality breed. The Price is comparable to other breeders with same health testing in parents and program implementations we have in pace. Deposit is to reserve your puppy, if circumstances change we miss out on potential puppy families and need to begin advertising again on an older puppy, therefore deposit is non-refundable.”
Contract & health guarantee
Renae 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 Renae offers a contract
or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them.
