F.A.Q.

 1. ” How do you determine picks, prices, deposits? ”

  see  picks, prices, deposits for more info

 2. “Do you offer written guarantees ?”

 Yes, and I’m not opposed to writing them to suit a persons concerns. Contact me directly

 3. “Do you ship ?”

 Yes we can, see shipping for details

4.  “Do you have all the dogs you list on site ?”

 No, many are long gone and some are near by, when I can place a dog within reach with people I trust it’s tempting.  Many times I’ll keep a dog on the web site simply so people can see what’s behind the dogs currently on the yard.  

 5. “ Do you worm and vaccinate ?”

 Yes.  In fact I try to time vaccinations such that new owners see at least one shot done with their own eyes, and can take the bottles to their vet and tell him so.   And I worm all puppies with Pyrantal Pamoate several times on ten day intervals.

 6.” How big are your dogs ?”

  Big, enough to do anything you need a big dog to do, see 

 A WORD ON WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

7.  Do you have a testimonial page ?

Not at the moment, but I should, it’s in the works ( past clients please contact me if you’d like to give one )

Picks

Many a breeder will pitch you the notion they will match you with the pup that suits you.  While there is some validity to that approach, as they should have been observing the pups for longer than you, and should know better what they are looking at anyway. It does ask you to place your complete faith in them.   It asks you to believe they will not put someone they know better, or care about more, in front of you.  Though I will accept that faith when offered, I think that’s a bit much to ask. 

  I will ask you what you are looking for, I will tell you what I see in the litter.  But in the end I believe the choice should be the buyer’s.   And the buyer who is willing to pay more should choose before the buyer willing to pay less.  The other factor that determines who drafts where is who gets a deposit in first, more so with the purebreds as their prices tend to vary less.

Breeder’s prerogative: 

  I retain the right to exclude one pick of each gender of every litter from the buyers for my own consideration.  I may not always use that, I retain it.

 Prices 

 Purebreds:  As a general rule I aim to keep my prices on comparable dogs very competitive as the rare breeds tend to be overpriced anyway.  But there are too many variables, each litter needs to be addressed individually

  Crosses:  There are no established market prices on the crosses that I do, because at present I’m the only guy in the world doing these particular crosses.  So we let the market determine the prices.   I will establish a “minimum” price for each litter and buyers willing to meet or exceed it shall be guaranteed a pup, the picking order is determined by allowing the best offer to pick first second second, etc.  It’s sort of blind bid in that we don’t reveal the offers until the end. Contact me to inquire as to Minimums for a given litter.

 Deposits: 

 Can be made by personal check in an amount representing 20 % of price or offer.  Balances should be paid in cash, money order, direct deposit, or pay pal.  If you must write a check for the balance you should expect to wait for it to clear before receiving your k9.   Deposits not paid in full are subject to forfeiture as per written time lines of specific contractual agreements.
