Please give us as much detail as possible when you fill out your puppy application. Remember, this is usually our first opportunity to interact with you and get to know you and your family. Your puppy application tells us a lot about you including the type of home you live in, your family members, your hobbies, your lifestyle and your plans and expectations of a puppy. Based on this information, we short-list applicants.
All of our short-listed applicants go through a detailed in-person (or video) interview process as well as a home check, reference checks, and a veterinary clinic check. We do not start this part of our vetting process until our puppies have had a chance to grow up a little bit.
If I am short-listed, am I guaranteed a puppy?
We work very hard to match each of our puppies with the family that is best suited to that puppy's temperament, drive and energy level. We formally evaluate structure, temperament, drive and energy level at 7 to 8 weeks. This evaluation factors heavily into our final decision on where to place puppies. Our goal is to place puppies for life. That means, if we don't have the right puppy for you and your lifestyle, even if we think you are fabulous, you will have to wait a little longer for a puppy.
