Please let help you!

 I always hope the puppies find the right home the first time.  When you ask about a puppy I will ask you a few questions!  Answering these questions will help me recommend a puppy for you or help me advise you about the puppy that you have chosen.  Please don't think of it as an "application".  There are no right or wrong answers.  .

I have listed the questions below.  You can answer them in the Comment section or use the link to print and mail or email them back.

I am sorry I can't put the questions into an "easier to answer" format on this website.   Printable Puppy Questions Link

Puppy Questions that I may ask you:

1.   What breed are you interested in?
2.   Any color or sex preference?
3.   Why would you like this breed?
4.   Do you have any previous experience with this breed?
5.   What would you like this dog to do for you when it grows up?
6.   How much indoor and outdoor space will this dog be able to enjoy?
7.   Do you have any other pets?   Any livestock?
8.   Does your household include any:  
      8a.   Elderly or disabled people?
      8b.   Children under 5 years old?
9.   Where will this dog spend its:
      9a.   summer days?
      9b.   summer nights?
      9c.   winter days?
      9d.   winter nights?
10.   On average how many hours a day will this dog be home alone?
11.   What do you want the dog to do when it is home alone?
12.  Is there anything else you would like me to know?
13. Do you plan on picking up your pup in person or airline shipping (please

14.  Your Name, mailing address, and phone number please.

Thank you for your time.  This will help everybody stay happy and healthy!

Puppy Deposit Definitions:

Advanced Deposit  - a $ deposit to pick a puppy when it is born.
Puppy Deposit - $ to hold a particular puppy you have picked out from the litter.
Notification List - see waiting list.
Waiting List - no $ sent in, but I will notify you if/when pups are available
                       after the paid depositors have made their choices.

Puppy Deposits

Advanced deposits  placed before the puppies are born to get in line to pick a puppy from an upcoming litter:

Collie Advanced Deposits are $105 with $100 subtracted from/applied to the price of the puppy.   $100 will be subtracted from the puppy's price.  When you choose a specific pup another $160 is due to hold that particular puppy.   $150 will be applied to your puppy's price.  Deposits are only refunded if I can't deliver a healthy puppy.   I can accept pa ypal and credit /debit card payments.  Mailed money orders are acceptable as long as they have plenty of time to clear before the puppy goes home.

Deposits for puppies that are already born:  please see the Puppies Now pages for the deposit amount on a litter that is already born.  These deposits are also subtracted from the puppy's price.  These deposits are only refunded if I can't deliver a healthy puppy.

The Notification List is free.  I will be happy to put you on the email list for when we have puppies available.  However, I highly recommend an Advanced Deposit if you might want a puppy within a year.  There are often so many paid deposits that some litters often do not have any remaining puppies left to advertise!

Please use the Buy Now link to make Deposits, Booking Fees and Payments with credit cards, debit cards or an existing pay pal account.  I can also accept card payments over the phone.  The  link charges me an online processing fee.  Please add $5 to your payment so I do not have to raise my prices  "across the board".
