Price

Puppy prices range from $1,800 - $2,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $300.

“The price is based on the parents and all puppies have AKC limited registration, prepaid and registered microchip, first set of vaccinations, up to date on deworming, and a veterinary health check. The puppies are raised in the home and socialized to the environment as well as litter trained and introduced to crating and leash walking. Deposits can be moved to another litter, but are non-refundable unless the reserved puppy becomes unavailable or puppy of your preference is not born.”
