Litter and program updates

Getting a puppy from Emily

Emily 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 $3,500 - $4,500 and include a deposit of $1,000.

“The price change reflects if pup is purchased with breeding rights. Breeding rights can be granted but it is a selective process. 1000 will secure your placement within the litter, should something arise and you can no longer take the pup you can move your deposit to a future litter but funds will not be returned.”

Contract and health guarantee

Emily 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 Emily 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 Emily directly.
