Getting a new puppy is a big commitment - financially and emotionally.  It is not something you should do on the fly, and you should not commit to a puppy until you have done all your research.   I am a serious breeder, and I only want to work with serious buyers who can make the commitment to me, my program, and one of my future puppies.  If you are looking to add a puppy to your home as soon as possible I am not the breeder for you.  I strongly believe in the old saying, "Good things come to those who wait." Reservation Fees from people who are just "shopping" from different breeders or who are not entirely committed to adopting a puppy from us can significantly increase the number of people on our reservation list.  This can give a false estimate for serious buyers about when they can expect to take a puppy, and this can prevent truly committed families from reserving one of our puppies. Like yours, our time is valuable to us. So, we ask that you please only apply and place a reservation if you are committed to a puppy, and specifically a puppy from our program. The reservation fee is deducted from the final price of of the puppy. In the event that a family decides not to choose a puppy from us, we will refund your reservation fee in less a $50 Admin Fee.  If you decide to move forward with me, as soon as you pay the Reservation Fee you will gain access to all things regarding your future puppy.  You can read in detail here You can read the required Reservation Fee form here
