Frequently Asked Questions
How much do puppies cost? 12% HST is additional for Canadian Purchasers. Why do male puppies cost less? This simply reflects that female puppies will be spayed before departure at our expense and that male puppies will not be neautered in advance and must be done at owners expense by six months of age. What you save on the puppy price you can apply towards the neuter cost later. Very occasionally (at breeder discretion only , not owner preference), female pups may depart unspayed, in which case they will be priced the same as males and purchasers shall sign an agreement to have their puppy spayed at their own expense by six months of age.
We request a $500 deposit once a litter has been planned and the pregnancy is confirmed. We prefer not to accept deposits until we know a litter is on the way and if you are looking for a puppy more than 4 months in the future we ask that you just check back closer to that time.
Yes but only if we don't have a puppy born/available that is a good match for your criteria/preference. Otherwise deposits are non refundable and indicate our commitment to hold your puppy for you and are also your promise to us that you have commited to purchasing a puppy. Your deposit can be kept on file for up to 1 year if you choose to delay your purchase until a later date. Can I pick out my puppy?
We used to let people choose their pups from photos or in person but found that people were picking their pups based on inappropriate criteria such as whether it comes to them or the "sparkle" in its eyes and that the puppy they chose was often not well suited to their lifestyle or level of I don't live on Vancouver Island and can't travel to pickup, do you offer delivery? Yes we can provide safe delivery across North America by Air, weather permitting and will often provide personal delivery by car to the lower mainland. Prices range from $100 to the lower mainland to $275 to other major centers such Kelowna, Calgary or Regina. I have holidays planned for the week my puppy is ready to be picked up, can you keep it longer for me?
If you are not able to pick up your puppy on the take home date then we advise waiting for another litter or getting our professional trainer to board/train your puppy. We do not personally board puppies or keep them for extra time past their take home date except for June due to the end of the school year. Puppies that age are a tremendous amount of work to socliale and care for properly and we look forward to well earned rest periods in between litters of puppies and plan our own holidays accordingly.
