frequently asked questions

FAQ

How often do you have litters?

To ensure every puppy gets individual attention and care, we currently have only one litter a year. Our focus is on quality over quantity, allowing us to spend ample time with each puppy for developmental learning, extra love, and temperament testing. If you are planning on bringing a puppy into your home in the next year or two, we highly recommend getting on our waitlist sooner than later! 

what do you feeD your dogs + puppies?

We feed our breeding dogs and puppies a highly nutritious, well-balanced diet from Red Barn. We carefully review every ingredient, ensuring there are no controversial fillers, and we’re thrilled that Red Barn owns their own manufacturing facility, is AAFCO certified, and family owned. Red Barn consistently receives top ratings from trusted sources like DogFoodAdvisor.com, which reflects the premium quality we trust for our dogs. In addition, they conduct extensive feeding trials on each of their recipes to ensure utmost nutrition and palatability. To maintain our two-year health warranty, we require that a Red Barn nutrition plan is followed, as it’s the only brand that offers the level of tracking necessary to verify your puppy is receiving a highly nutritious diet. While we recommend sticking with Red Barn during your pup’s first two years, as they’ll be going through many important developmental changes, we also support and recommend other quality brands like Stella & Chewy’s and I and Love and You. After the warranty period, you are welcome to switch their diet if you choose. 

how long is the wait for a puppy?

Since we focus on raising high-quality, well-socialized pups, we typically have a waiting period of about 6-12 months. It might seem like a long wait, but trust us—good things come to those who wait! Our puppies get tons of love, attention, and early training to ensure they’re the perfect fit for your family. Plus, the extra time gives us a chance to match you with your ideal puppy!

is the deposit to secure a puppy refundable?

Our deposit is non-refundable, but don’t worry—it goes directly toward the total cost of your puppy. We keep our litters small to give each pup the best start in life, so your deposit helps us plan ahead and make sure we’re connecting you with the perfect new family member. If life throws you a curveball, though, we can transfer your deposit to a future litter as a one-time courtesy!

do you sell puppies with breeding rights?

Our pups are meant to join loving families as pets, not for breeding purposes. By doing this, we’re able to preserve our exclusive and top-line lineage and maintain the highest standards for their health and well-being. If you’re looking for a lifelong best friend, you’re in the right place!
