Over time, our approach to puppy selection has evolved through various methods. Initially, we would accept deposits upon announcing our breeding plans, adjusting our breeding cycle based on interest. However, after experiencing two occasions where pregnancies didn't occur despite taking deposits, we revised our approach. We began only accepting deposits post-confirmation of pregnancy, making breeding decisions more challenging without pre-deposits but ultimately deemed it advantageous in the long term.

Another issue we encountered was ensuring variety for deposit holders. We allowed deposit transfers to subsequent litters, but without limitations, this resulted in lengthy deposit holding periods, which proved problematic even after restricting transfers to five upcoming litters.

Our subsequent strategy involved accepting deposits only after the litter's birth, allowing potential owners to assess puppies firsthand. However, since puppy selection occurs at six weeks old, deposit holders sometimes missed out on their preferred choices, leading to further deposit transfers.

So, starting in 2025, we will adopt a new approach, accepting deposits at the six-week mark when selections are finalized. While this method lacks upfront interest gauging, it aligns with our breeding philosophy of producing litters primarily for our program, making it a worthwhile adjustment despite its drawbacks.

Our deposit will continue to be set at $500. Additionally, we're maintaining the option for pet parents to pay in full during the selection process and receive a 10% discount on the total purchase price.

Please note that this discount excludes any transportation fees that may be required and cannot be stacked with any of our other discounts.
