Getting a puppy from Jenna

Jenna has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices range from $3,000 - $3,800 and include a non-refundable deposit of $540.

“Please inquire for price. Our deposit is $500 before the puppies are born and that sort of “secures your spot” and I know you are ready to commit to getting a puppy from us. The deposit is not refundable if you change your mind; however, if you want a puppy from a certain litter and we do not have a puppy available for you in that litter, I will give you the option of having the deposit refunded, transferring the deposit to our next litter, or transferring your deposit to a breeder friend (who is similar to our breeding program) if they will have puppies available sooner. Keep in mind that you can choose the sex of the puppy beforehand if you have a strong preference one way or another, but I want to make sure you know that I choose which puppy you will be getting based on temperament testing and structural evaluations... if you have a favorite or 2, you can let me know.... I make no promises, but can keep it in mind in case there are 2 that I think would be a good fit and one happens to be a “favorite”, I will do my best to match that puppy with you.”

Contract and health guarantee

Jenna may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Jenna offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Jenna directly.
