1.) Homework

Before getting on our wait list, do your homework! Learn as much as you can about these breeds and make sure they fit your lifestyle. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions you have, we'd even love to meet you in person and let you meet some of our dogs.

​

2.) Application

Once you've decided this is the breed for you and want to pursue getting one we ask that you please fill out our application. Make sure to put as much detail as possible when filling it out since this is what we start referring to in the future when it comes time to matching with your puppy. Once we've reviewed your application you will get an email back from us letting you know if you're application was approved. Please give us time to review them as we can get pretty busy with dog events, raising the litters, life, ect. There is a non-refundable $100 fee to join our wait list. This is for families that are committed to purchasing a puppy from us. This fee will be deducted from your puppy's deposit. Those on our wait list will receive updates about our breeding plans and decisions we make including breeding announcements, confirmed pregnancies, puppy count, and more. The wait list deposit is non-refundable. But in the case that the dam does not have enough puppies per gender or does not take to the pregnancy the $100 deposit will either be applied to a different litter wait list or refunded. This would be your decision! But this deposit will not be refunded if I have a puppy to provide you but you decide to no longer get one.

​

We very rarely have availability after puppies are born (especially for our Dachshunds) so if you are interested we highly suggest to apply and place your wait list deposit to secure your spot!

​

3.) Deposits

We wait several weeks to keep a close eye on everyone after being born and make sure everyone is thriving. Then we will reach out to those on our wait list for our next step of the process. We will setup phone calls with each family to get to know each other better and get more of an idea of what you're looking for in a puppy. At this stage we do not guarantee a specific puppy to anyone as the puppies are too young to see how their personalities will be but we do have you pick if you would like a male or female puppy. This is when we start taking the non-refundable $500 deposit (or $400 if you placed a wait list deposit) to reserve a gender spot for the specific litter. Any deposits made will be deducted off the purchase price of the puppy. If for any reason after placing a deposit you can no longer bring a puppy home at that time you will have 12 months to place it on a different puppy.

​

4.) Puppy Matching

Once the puppies are  7 weeks old we conduct a temperament test and start evaluating their structures. This gives us a better idea of which puppy would fit for each family. We will match the puppies to their families based off your families activity levels, puppy’s temperaments, and your goals for them. I like to match puppies this way as I wouldn’t want to place a very active puppy with a calmer family and vice versa. This helps set you and your new puppy up for success. We have seen how each puppy’s personalities have developed the last 8 weeks and have an idea of what kind of home they’ll need. For our Dachshunds, some puppies may not be matched until they are older (9-10 weeks old) because they are being further evaluated for show prospects.

​

5.) Go Home

We start letting our puppies go home at 8 weeks old but may hold onto select puppies longer for further evaluations. We ask to set up a specific time for pickup as we will go over everything we have introduced the puppy too, registering their microchips, submitting the AKC registration together, and more. This is also when we will take the remaining balance owed for your puppy. Once we are finished going over everything during your pups go home, you're officially all set and ready for your new pup! Please feel free to use us as a resource though as we will always be here for your pups! 

​

IMPORTANT REMINDER:

As the Breeder we reserve the right to first and second pick of every litter as we breed for ourselves first.

If at ANY POINT, we feel you are no longer a safe or right fit for our puppies, we reserve the right to stop the process and no longer sell to you. Our puppies’ safety and well-being is our highest priority.
