Adoption Process:
If interested in one of our puppies please fill out our puppy application page and take the time to review our purchase agreement. Once your application is submitted text me so that I know to look for it! (435 313 1779) Once I have reviewed your application I will reach out to coordinate a good time for a phone call so that I can answer any questions you might have! In order to get on the list you will need to send a deposit of $500 to secure your spot on your preferred litter/masterlist. The order in which deposits are received determines the picking order for puppies. Deposits are nonrefundable and go towards the final purchase price. Please do not place a deposit unless you are fully ready to add a puppy to your family and are committed to caring for them! I have had a problem with people passing on a puppy due to timing and it is really hard trying to find new families at the last second for our puppies! So my policy is - I will allow you to pass on a puppy that meets the criteria for what you are wanting, but you will drop to the bottom of the masterlist.
Puppy selection takes place around 5 weeks old. I find this is a good time for new owners to see a puppy's coat characteristics a bit as well as their emerging personalities! Families can also save money on transportation if we can book flights earlier! Families in Utah are welcome to come to my home for selection. I ask that only direct family members come as puppy immune systems are still developing and we want to keep our puppies healthy! If you live out of state we will do selection over Facetime. After selection process is finished, I will send you an invoice within a few days and the balance must be paid in full before your puppy leaves my care. (A 7.45% Utah sales tax will be added if picking up your puppy in Utah). All payments must be processed before pick up day! The only form of payment I will accept on pick up day is cash.
Finally- Puppies go home to their families around 8 weeks old. I will give you the "pick up" date range once puppies are born, so that you can plan accordingly. (See FAQ page if you have more questions on this process or contact me.)
FYI- Occassionally we have 2-3 moms that go into heat at the same time. I have trained helpers that I use in this situation so that I am not overwhelmed with litters. All of my litters are raised with the same curriculum whether in my own home or someone else trained by me! Typically they raise the litter the first 6 weeks until its time to wean puppies from mom and then puppies come to me for the last 2 weeks of training/socialization. I find this works well since mother nature can be unpredictable as to when each mom is ready to go into heat!
