Getting a puppy from Donna

Price
Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and between $1,500 - $1,700 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“Puppies go home with a limited AKC Registration, Health Certificate, first set of puppy shots, dewormed. Deposits will be taken starting May 22, 2023. A deposit will hold a pup for you. It does not necessarily determine the order in which you recieve a pup as we try to match a pup with their family.”

Donna 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.
