Picking out Puppies
PLEASE DO NOT GET ON MORE THAN ONE WAITING LIST unless you are VERY honest about it. You need to understand that we think our puppy buyers are just as in love with the puppies as we are. We’re posting pictures, writing up instructions, running live feeds, researching everything from pedigrees to nail grinding, all so we can hand off this puppy, this supreme glorious creature of wonderfulness, with the absolute maximum chance that it will lead a fabulous life with you, and we’ve built all kinds of air castles in our heads about how happy this puppy will be, and what it will do in its life with you, and so on. Finding out that you had your name on four lists shows that you don’t realize that puppies are not packages of lunch meat, where getting one from meis basically the same as getting one from Stop and Shop.
Also, as soon as your name is on one of our lists, we’re turning away puppy buyers. If we’ve sent ten people elsewhere because our list is full, and then suddenly you say “Oh, yeah, I got a puppy from someone else,” it really toasts our bread. So just BE HONEST. If someone came to me and said “I’m on a list with So and So, but she’s pretty sure she won’t have a puppy for me, and I’d love to be considered for one of your dogs and I’ll let you know just as soon as I know,” I’m FINE with that. I understand how this goes. It’s not a disaster for me to have a puppy “left over” at eight weeks because you ended up getting that So and So puppy; it’s just frustrating to have the rug yanked out from under me.
Puppy picking may start at day one. You must be ready to make your decision at that time. When it's time to pick I'll start with first in line and will work my way down the list in the order. I will try to reach you for 24 hours after that. If I can't reach you, I'll move to the next in line. Picking will move quickly on the day of picking, so be sure to give me good contact information (all picking will be complete by 1 week if I have extra puppies that need homes). This gives me time to home any remaining pups. I may choose to delay picking to 3-4 weeks if all pups in the litter are claimed. All picking will be from photos and videos taken weekly from birth. These will be posted on our Facebook Page or under available puppies on this site
If you are on the waiting list and I can not reach you after 48 hrs. your name will be removed.
