A clear process protects the dogs, sets expectations early, and helps place each puppy in the right home.

3

Temperament Fit

We talk through the temperament that best fits your home, experience level, and day-to-day life.

4

Contract Review

Before moving forward, we review the contract so expectations are clear on both sides.
