The more specific you are about aesthetic requirements, the longer you should expect it to take to find a puppy to 'match' your requirements. Breeding is a complex endeavour, and our first priorities will always be health and temperament of the puppy. We are not the breeder for you if you want to order a customised puppy that is within a very restricted criteria list. If you want a specific coat type, colour, and gender, we are not the right breeder for you. We accept applications from families whose primary interest is a well-bred and well-raised puppy. With that being said, we will, of course, do our best to match you with the puppy that matches the qualities and attributes you are seeking; however, we are not able to, nor do we guarantee availability of some or all of your preferences about sex, colours and coats. Your patience and  understanding with this is appreciated.

Timing

What is your ideal timeline for welcoming a puppy into your home?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Please note, it may take 6 – 12 months before we have a puppy availability that meets your preferences.
