We Don’t Keep a Waiting List. Here’s Why:Unlike
what you may have heard, not all reputable breeders keep a waiting
list. While some believe it’s a hallmark of credibility, we have our
reasons for not maintaining one. A waiting list can often lead to
rushed decisions, mismatched placements, and undue pressure on both the
breeder and the potential puppy parents. Instead, we focus on finding
the perfect homes for our puppies at the right time, ensuring each
match is well-considered and harmonious. We’re Not a Bank (or Even a Credit Union)Many
breeders require a significant fee or deposit to join their list, often
well before puppies are even conceived. You might wait 12-18 months for
a puppy. We prefer not to act as a 'bank' holding funds for unborn
puppies due to the uncertainties involved. Even under ideal conditions,
pregnancies can be missed, miscarriages can occur, and other unforeseen
issues may arise. This approach allows us to focus on ensuring healthy
puppies and happy matches without the added financial pressure on
potential owners. 
Nothing in Life is FreeWe
used to maintain a wait list without requiring a fee or deposit. This
turned out to be a mistake as we had numerous families on the list, but
nearly all either found puppies elsewhere or didn’t respond when we had
puppies available. Many were on multiple waitlists or just browsing
without serious interest. Managing this was time-consuming and
detracted from caring for our puppies. By requiring a fee or deposit,
we ensure that our waitlist is comprised of genuinely interested
families, allowing us to focus on providing the best care for our
puppies. 
We Want to Match the Perfect Puppy with the Perfect FamilyWith
a standard waitlist, you become just a number, like being 3rd or 6th
pick for a litter. This can lead to disappointment if the puppy you
fall in love with is chosen by someone ahead of you. You might end up
choosing a puppy that's not the best match or waiting for the next
litter. Our process eliminates this issue. No money exchanges hands
until you see a puppy you personally choose. When we open our
reservation list, every family has an equal chance to select their
perfect puppy. Life Happens. We Get That.Once
you pay a fee to be added to a list, you're committed. But what if you
find another breeder who feels like a better fit? Or your life
circumstances change, and you're no longer able to add a new puppy to
your home? A lot can happen during the typical 12-18 month wait. 
Realistic Expectations are KeyBiology
is unpredictable, and despite our best efforts, outcomes can vary. A
waiting list often creates a false sense of security, making clients
believe their place in line guarantees a puppy. This can lead to
disappointment if the expected litter doesn't occur. We prefer to set
realistic expectations from the start, ensuring that you understand the
uncertainties involved. 
A More Effective ApproachWhile
offering our puppies on a first-come, first-serve basis might seem
chaotic, it’s actually more practical. It avoids the frustration of
waiting for over a year, only to find out that the puppy you wanted
isn't available. To improve your chances of getting your perfect puppy,
follow a few simple steps and stay engaged. This method ensures a
smoother, more reliable process for everyone involved. Steps to Secure Your PuppySubmit Early: Complete and submit our Puppy Application promptly for approval.
