Getting a puppy from Cindi
Cindi 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 between $1,000 - $1,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“Prices vary based on age and training of the dog. We do sometimes have older pups that are started in herding and other dog sports. All puppies are Embark tested, microchipped, and fully examined by a vet. We do not ask for deposits because we can't guarantee we'll have the puppy that fits your needs in a certain litter. We also don't want people financially invested before their puppy is ready to go home. Life happens. We'd rather not have buyers feel forced to take a puppy because they've already put down a deposit.”
Contract & health guarantee
Cindi 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 Cindi 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 Cindi directly.
