Our Policies
Reservations/Administration Fees
We do maintain a waiting list for future breedings. To get onto our waiting list for future breedings, we must have a completed and approved application from you. Once your application has been approved and only then, will you be placed on our waiting list. We will keep everyone on our waiting list informed when a breeding has taken place. Once the breeding has taken place, we will then require signed contracts from those interested in that breeding and will also require you to place your non-refundable reservation fee to secure your pick spot on that litter.
Puppy Pricing
Pricing will vary based on the litter and if we have older, trained dogs available. But, all puppies will be sold with limited AKC registration unless you are approved as a trusted, ethical breeder. All puppies will come with their AKC registration, 26 month hip/elbow guarantee, lifetime guarantee against all other genetic diseases that we can test for currently, 1st vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and lifetime breeder support. We do allow our puppies to be shipped at buyer expense.
Visitors
I do allow visitors to come and interact with the dogs, so long as I do not have females currently pregnant or a litter born. If you would like to visit, I ask that you contact me to schedule an appointment. We would love for you to come and meet our dogs! Or another option is that I will be posting when I will be at trials and where these trials will be held. If you happen to be in the area of one of our trials, you are also welcome to stop by and cheer us on at a trial!
Discounts
I do offer repeat buyer discounts and active military/law enforcement discounts (with proof).
I am also offering a rebate program on every puppy purchased. This is to help encourage puppy families to do more with their puppies and have a chance at earning back some of their purchase price. The title rebate program is as follows:

Registration
There will be a fee of $30.00 added to the purchase price of your puppy that MUST be paid on the day of pickup or 3 days prior to the puppy being shipped. This fee will be used to pre-register your puppy. As an AKC licensed Bred with HEART breeder, I am required to make sure that every single puppy that leaves me is registered with the AKC. With that said, from here on out, I will be doing the online Breeder E-Z Reg service with AKC so that your puppy's registration papers will be mailed to you directly from the AKC and you will receive a digital copy via email as soon as the registration is completed. This new policy change will also be reflected in our puppy contract once I get it updated. This is strictly non-negotiable.
Shipping
I do allow for my puppies to be shipped at the buyer's expense. I do not currently offer transport services myself, personally. I do, however, have several recommendations for reliable ground transporters or you are always welcome to hire your own transporter. Any transport costs charged by the transporters will be extra and are always the responsibility of the buyer and are due before the puppy will be transported. Also, it is my policy that any puppy being transported/shipped is to be paid in full by 6 weeks of age and I must also have your contract signed and returned to me, along with the fees for the puppy's prepaid AKC registration as well.
Puppy Naming
Puppy buyers are free to name their dog whatever they wish, but the registration name MUST include my kennel name. For example, Max z Pekelny' Pes.
