​
We thoroughly vet potential puppy homes by reviewing their puppy application, doing secondary interviews via zoom, as well as doing reference checks.
​
We create a "soft list" of approximately 7-10 puppy homes per litter. We make it very clear to our potentially homes on our soft list, that just because a potential home is on a "soft list" does not mean that they are guaranteed a puppy. Once puppies are on the ground, we watch how they develop, and start to have an idea who will most likely be getting a puppy between 3-7 weeks. We match puppies to their homes at approximately 7 weeks of age.
​
Matches are based on the temperament and ability of the puppy, as well as the goals of the puppy home.
​
Matches are NOT made on a first-come first-served basis.
​Our puppies are priced at $2500. This may vary based on pairing.
​
We currently do not require deposits/payments until puppies are matched to their homes.
​
Puppies must be picked up at our residence in Long Island, New York.​
