PUPPIES

In placing puppies we determine each individual puppy's placement according to that specific puppy's personality, and by the role it will play within its new family. Because, as breeders, we feel it is very important to place each puppy in the right home, we carefully evaluate each puppy's temperament as it is growing up in order to make this determination.

We do not allow buyers to choose what puppy they would like from the litter, since this would often result in a poor match between dog and owner. It is our goal for the dog to have a happy, lifetime home with equally happy owners, and we have been very sucessful using our experience to match up puppies and owners.

While buyers may choose to limit what sex and color puppy they would like to have,
we do not encourage this. Buyers who do so must be aware that this will limit their chances of getting a puppy from a specific litter, since the puppy of that color and sex in the litter may not be the best match for them. (FYI... the differences between a male and a female that will be neutered or spayed is minimal. Both make excellent pets.)

Please understand that the careful breeding of puppies on a limited basis is not a made-to-order business in regards to color, sex, temperament or quality (show or pet).

In matching puppies with owners, we try to be as expedient as possible in the decision making process, but we do not begin making final decisions about which homes individual puppies go to until after 6-8 weeks of age when overall health, temperament, structure and movement can be clearly evaluated. (Puppies do not leave for their new homes until after 8-10 weeks.)

ADULTS

We may also occasionally offer adults for sale. These dogs are usually retired show dogs or puppies that we "grew up" that didn't end up making the cut for the show ring. All of these dogs are well socialized, house broken, and up to date on all health checks.
