The waiting list is small and the questionnaire is below, if interested send a deposit (Zelle and Paypal are available options) with the questionnaire.

Visiting:
Prior to a family making the selection of their pup, they may start seeing 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, there is a reunion that families are welcomed to come back for.

Adoption Fee:
Please call for the adoption fee. A $500 non-refundable deposit along with the questionnaire below, lines up families to make their pick at 7 weeks with the final payment due upon pick-up at 8 weeks. In each litter, we reserve the right to withold a puppy for myself, donation or placement. Zelle, PayPal or personal check are payment options. We are available locally and ship nationally.

Time Frame:
Typically there are 5-10 puppies in a litter. The families shown below will be choose 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 a future 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 have the right to change their choice as shown.

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 or their desired time frame in the future. If anyone can think of something more fair, please advise.

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