Deposits and Prepayments: 

• To reserve a  space on our puppy list, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required. There is no guarantee that you will get a puppy from any certain litter.  Deposits put you on a list, but do not guarantee a puppy from a given litter. Refunds will be made if we do not have a puppy for you within a year of receiving your deposit, but not if you change your mind.

• Final payment must be received two weeks prior to the litter evaluation and puppies will be sent to their homes the week following the litter evaluation.
