The fees for our puppies are $4000 on limited papers (for pets) and we require a $500 deposit to reserve a puppy. All our puppies on limited register as (pets) are sterilised before they leaves, the Boys will be having a vasectomy which means he will still have his testicles for hormones for growth but he isn’t able to produce pups. The Girls will have Ovarian Sparing Spay which means they still have their hormones for growth which is very important but cannot have puppies. The deposit is not refundable. (Only as we put a lot of time vetting our buyers and its frustrating when someone pulls out to then find another). Do you acknowledge this? 

You can lookup info on the parents of the pups if we own them on our website. Hip & elbow scores & DNA results are listed. 
Please tell us how you found out about our breeding program. Did someone refer you? If so, who? Did you find us on the web? If so, which website did you find us on or what were you searching for? Please be specific.
