Updates, Application, Deposit/Adoption Fee, Recommendations, Sample Contract, and Waiting List

Updates:
12-12-25 Liberty was bred on the 9th via a surgical insemination with semen shipped overnight from back east. The procedure placed the collection into each fallopian tube. Everything went well and we'll know in the about 4 weeks if it took followed by an x-ray at 9 weeks just prior to whelping. The photo will be posted here and the home page for you to share and count pups. In the meantime, the sire I choose, threw the puppies on the home page, second row (3 pics/beautiful).
12-5-25 Liberty will be bred next week. Pups would go home in the late Spring. Prior updates have been removed.

If you click on the images below, they will pop up in a larger window.

Visiting:
Prior to a family making the selection of their pup (7th week), they may start visiting them at 4 weeks and weekly thereafter. Before puppies are born, prospective owners may come to the house and meet us, see where the pups will be raised, and ask any questions. We are in Burien in the Seahurst neighborhood. After the puppies go home and since they should not be around other dogs until they are fully vaccinated, I offer playdays every two weeks until they are 4 months old. This gives the owners a chance to talk and the puppies to play in a safe enviroment. Annually, (in the summertime) there is a reunion that families are welcomed to come back for.

Adoption Fee:
The adoption fee is $2,900 less a $500 deposit (sent with the questionnaire below), that has families making their puppy pick at 7 weeks and the puppies go home on the 8th week. Zelle is available for any payment.

Time Frame:
Typically there are 5-10 puppies in a litter. The families shown below will be choosing based on the date of their deposit. Once a deposit is placed, the owner has the option of the current litter, or to wait for the next litter. If identified, their preference of sex, size and coloring is shown - This gives others knowledge of who they may be leaning towards and helps me choose the appropriate sire for those highest on the list. Families do have the right to change their choices below.

Families for the next litter(s) - Sex, coloring and weight desired shown but may change:
1. Theresa and Ed - Female - Bi or Tri - 35# (Rollover from 2025).
2. Dave and Gretchen - Either - Tri - 40-55#
3. Evette and Daughters - Either - Tri - 25-35#
4. Amy and Pamela - Male - Tri - 40+#

Managing the List:
In the event a litter is larger than anticipated, or if a family needs to rollover, those lower on the list will be contacted to determine their interest. If someone does rollover, they will be placed on the list numerically, based on the date of their deposit. If anyone can think of something more fair, please advise.

We thought this was funny...There is a series of 3 photos that we put in a loop. Notice the basket getting further away from the wall then a puppy coming up the back bumps her off.
