The next generation

Our upcoming litters are thoughtfully planned with the future of our program and the families who will welcome these puppies home in mind.

How it works

From application to homecoming.

1

Apply

Send in the puppy application. It tells us about your home, your family and what you are hoping for in a dog.

2

We talk

We follow up with questions of our own. This is a conversation, not a queue number.

3

The litter arrives

Once puppies are born and growing, we watch temperaments daily and start matching families.

4

Matched with care

The best puppy isn’t necessarily the puppy you pick first, but the puppy who is truly the right fit for your home.

Get on the list early.

Applications for planned litters are welcome before a litter is announced, and early applicants are considered first.
