Send in a puppy application, then I will give you more info on how to place a deposit and get on our Master Waitlist. After your desired litter is born,(when you place a deposit we will ask you what litter you are interested in/timing/color) in the order we received deposits, we will contact you to see if you are ready to be placed on the Litter’s Reservation List. Litter Reservation Lists open when the puppies are 2 weeks old. In the order we received deposits we will offer the Premium Spots. After you are on a Litter List you should figure out your puppy’s travel plans! When the puppies are 6 weeks old we will start the puppy selection process, then at 8 weeks old the puppies go to their new homes!

Breeding pairs and timing are subject to change until breeding has occurred.​
