What do your
puppies cost?
All of our puppies as of January 2010 are between $700.00 and $1500.00 depending on the parents and the results of the puppy testing that we do.
Currently we are breeding two types of temperament - Schutzhund and Therapy dog
lines. The higher priced puppies would be suitable for Schutzhund, the lower
prices for Therapy or family protection and pets.
What is included in the price of the puppy?
Our
guarantee and health certificate from our
veterinarian and also a Microchip. All shots and wormings allowed for their age will have been given.
We also include a bag of food. We also have a lifetime support program for any
questions you may have.
How do I reserve a puppy?
We require a 25% deposit on all puppies. If you change your mind that
amount minus $200.00 will be refunded to you.
What happens if I need to delay my purchase by a
litter?
Your deposit will be transferred to the other litter If purchased within
one year of the original deposit date. The puppy must be
under 5 weeks old to transfer the deposit.
Can I pick up my puppy at your facility?
Of course, our trainer will even give you a puppy training 101 lesson when
you arrive. We prefer that you do come and pick up your puppy.
Who picks the puppy for me?
If you are having the puppy shipped to you it will be selected by our
trainer who has evaluated the puppies and will choose one to meet the needs
you specify. You can also select one from video or pictures on the site if you
wish. Our trainer will advise you of the noted temperament and working
qualities each are displaying. Our dogs are bred to be working dogs
and schutzhund competition dogs. We test them all for those qualities. If you
are coming onsite to select one, we will evaluate one with you when you
arrive. If at all possible we HIGHLY recommend you come to our location to
select your puppy. We temperament test all puppies between seven and eight
weeks of age. We do tape all our tests and put them on the website for
prospective parents to view and select from.
If I receive a dog and it has a health problem what
happens?
You have one week once you receive the dog to take it to the veterinarian
and have it checked. Our puppies and dogs are 100% guaranteed to be healthy
when they leave our facility. If the dog is determined not be healthy by your
vet, your vet will need to contact our vet to discuss the issue. If it is
determined there is a problem, we will ask the puppy be returned as soon as it
is certified by the vet that it is okay to fly and we will send you another
puppy. We must receive the puppy back in the condition that it left our
facility in before we send you another puppy. Please also see our guarantee
for information on hip problems.
Will the puppy have any shots?
Yes, all shots that can be given up to the day they are shipped or picked
up will be current. You will be given a copy of everything they have received.
They will also have been wormed.
Are there any other costs involved in getting the
puppy?
If your puppy or dog is being shipped you will pay the shipping costs and
the cost of the crate.
You will pay the airline when you pick up the dog for the shipping fee.
Shipping fees in the US usually range between $225 and $300 for a puppy.
What should I have at home for my puppy?
Go to our "Are you
ready for your puppy" page for details.
What do you feed your dogs?
All of our dogs, puppies and cats are fed
all natural foods that do not contain wheat. Feed your animals an all natural
diet - period. You should buy
all natural products like Life's Abundance,
or another product that has no wheat. You can purchase
Life's Abundance through our site. A bag will be sent to you when you purchase
a puppy or dog. Some people recommend feeding raw diets. After 20 years of
working for a Veterinarian I do not recommend this unless you are going to be
very strict with a diet that consists of raw meat and supplements. Feeding a
dog nothing but hamburger is not a well balanced diet any more than a
vegetarian eating nothing but vegetables is - you must supplement with other
things like vitamins and do your research into what needs to be supplemented.
Also traveling and showing a dog on a raw diet is a pain and you can't just
switch to a kibble diet when on the road, your dog will have stomach problems
the entire time.
How much do your adult trained dogs cost?
The prices for trained adults vary depending on what you are looking for
and the level of training desired. Most are a minimum of $2500.00.
Occasionally we have retired adults that we sell for $2000.00. The retired
dogs have been neutered. At this time it is rare that we have adults
available. We purchase adult dogs for our breeding program and would only sell
one that was unable to replicate itself in it's puppies. So far we have not
had that problem.
