Delivery
If you are flying here to pick up your puppy, we can meet at these airports for no charge: RHI, CWA
$200 charge to meet at MSP or MSN airports
Wisconsin: We may be able to meet up to 2 hours but it is dependent on our schedule and the weather.
Out of state: We will gladly help arrange transport!
Training
We would love to offer puppy training services to our new owners! The puppy would stay with us for a few more weeks and begin the basics. If you're interested in this, you can email us. It will be dependent on our upcoming schedules! We likely will not accept more than two puppies at a time.
Socialization
Puppies are raised in our home and are exposed to usual day to day activities. They meet dogs, chickens, rabbits, cows and goats. In the warm months they are introduced to water at our creek. They are around kids of various ages and experience the chaos of toddlers! We also use ENS + ESI
Early neurological stimulation and early scent introduction are wonderful exercises to give puppies a better, more confident start in life. If you'd like to read more about ENS, click here.

We will update those on our waitlist when the mama cycles, and we will be able to give accurate dates on when we expect the litter to be born, and when they will go home. When the litter is born, the remaining deposit is due. Deposits are $500. Deposits and reservation fees are non-refundable unless we do not have the gender/color. We accept payments through Venmo, CashApp and GoodDog.

6-7 Weeks
We will do individual weekly puppy photos, and videos or personality descriptions as they develop. Their veterinarian exam and vaccinations are scheduled around 6wks of age. We will perform temperament testing around 6-7 weeks of age, this is a series of tests to evaluate the type of family and energy level each puppy will possess, we test the following: confidence, dominance, energy, structure, touch and sound sensitivity, restraint, and more.
Puppies are chosen in order of deposit, based on the temperament evaluation provided and photos or videos. If we are keeping back a puppy, we are seeking the best show-type structure, we will not select until close to 8 weeks when their structure is the best prediction for maturity, all selections will be on hold until we choose the best addition to our program.

Take Home Day
Around 8 weeks of age, we will schedule pickup times. Puppies go home with AKC paperwork, vet records, microchipped, dewormed, health guarantee, 30 days of insurance, toys, treats, food, and more.
Final puppy balance is due at this time. We accept cash only on go-home days. If your puppy is being delivered or remaining with us after 8 weeks of age, the balance is due at 8 weeks by Venmo, GoodDog, or CashApp. We do not accept Zelle or PayPal.
We recommend current pets meeting puppies in a neutral area. During pickup, no pets are allowed on our property to prevent injury, parasites, illness or disease.
