Adoption information
Reservation Deposits
- Deposits are only required if you wish to reserve a specific puppy, or a priority pick in a litter. If you are interested in placing a Reservation Deposit, the initial deposit is subtracted from the remaining Adoption Amount.
- The remainder must be paid in full before puppy comes home.
- If for some reason a puppy of your choosing is not available from the reserved litter, or you decide to wait, then we will put you at the top of the Reservation List for the next litter.
- Reservation Deposits are not refundable but they are transferable and they do not expire.
Picking Your Puppy
- We post updates and pictures on our pages frequently to help you choose your puppy.
- Puppies are chosen on a first reserved, first served basis at 6 weeks of age when we post their video.
- After their 6-week video is posted and it is your turn to pick, you will have 24 hours to choose your puppy from the litter. After 24 hours, the next person with a reservation will be able to choose their puppy.
- We can also assist in trying to match the right puppy to your family. This is helpful if you have a special need in your home such as a disability or a history of allergies.

Delivery, shipping, and Pickup
Getting Your Puppy
Delivery & Shipping
If you are in Southern California, and have already reserved your puppy, we can usually hand-deliver your new addition at no additional cost.
More distant locations, or special gift and holiday deliveries, may require a nominal fee.
Shipping
The cost of flying your puppy to your location usually varies between $550-$600. This includes an airline approved crate, a health certificate from our California Certified Veterinarian, mileage to and from the airport, and airfare.
Pick Up
Puppies can come home with you after they are 8 weeks of age. We usually schedule puppy pick up days in Anaheim, Temecula, Glendora, Adelanto and Palm Desert for puppies that have been reserved.
Meet & Greets
Meet and Greets are scheduled for puppies who have not been reserved or adopted by 16 weeks of age. Any puppies still available at that time are brought to a dog-friendly location for adopting families to meet.
Visits
Unfortunately, we no longer allow visitors to our home, without pre-approval, for several reasons. The first reason is for the health of our dogs. Special precautions are taken daily to ensure the health of the mother and puppies against deadly illnesses such as Parvo and other highly contagious viruses: shoes are removed while indoors, floors are cleaned, back and front yards are cleaned, puppy play area is disinfected. Secondly, we reside in a gated community with strict guidelines that make it difficult to have visitors without going through a lengthy process. And lastly, we are not a kennel. Our dogs are family pets that we keep in our home and we value our privacy. Although we used to allow visitors, we have had some negative experiences that must be avoided.
Health Guarantee
- All puppies come with a one year health warranty.
- You will have 2 business days upon receipt of your puppy to take him/her to a Licensed Veterinarian for an exam. If the puppy is found to be seriously ill or in poor health, then the buyer will have a choice to return the puppy to us and we will replace the puppy with the next available one.
- We do not assume any responsibility for any health related issues or loss of life due to vaccinations or from any flea and or tick preparation
