Purchasing Information
It is very important to me that each puppy is placed in a loving, forever home and that I maintain a lifelong relationship with each family or individual that purchases one of my pups. When you have me as your breeder you will gain a friend and a mentor. Staying in touch not only helps me make more informed decisions for future litters but is also very rewarding to see each puppy that I raised grow up and progress through the years. If you are not okay with that level of contact and involvement, that is fine... my dogs and I just wont be a good fit for you then. When applying for a pup please tell me a little about yourself and what kind of home you can give a pup. Please keep in mind Border Collies are an active, working breed who need a lot of training and exercise and a job to do. All of our pups ALWAYS have a home with me! If at any time or any point during the dogs life, weather it be 1 year or 10 years old, you are no longer able or willing to care for it I will ALWAYS take it back! Your dog will never end up homeless or in a shelter. I provide lief time breeder support!
Getting on a Waiting List
If you are interested in a pup I always accept names and inquiries to be placed on a waiting list for future litters. Once the puppies are born I will accept a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to place a puppy on a HOLD status. I reserve the right to remove someone from my list at any time, if I see fit. If that happens then you will get your deposit back.The deposit must be received with in a week of the pups being born and will consider a pup sold. It will include weekly pictures and updates of the puppies until they are ready to leave at 9 weeks. The actual puppy selection process doesn't happen until 6-7 weeks when personality, drive and structure can be assessed. I will definitely take color/sex into consideration but that is never the deciding factor nor do I allow people to choose puppies based on that criteria. Most of my puppies are spoken for before they are born so if you are interested in future litters it is never to soon to get on my waiting list!
Pricing
All of my puppies within a litter are priced the same regardless of sex or color. My price is $1,200 but may vary slightly based on stud fee.
Included at Pick Up
Your Puppy - copy of vet check, vaccination and deworming records and BAER test results, a puppy pack full of essentials, a copy of the Adoption Contract, parents pedigree, pictures and health test results, info on health, training, food & LIFETIME BREEDER SUPPORT.
Pick Up
I prefer for you to be able to pick up your puppy. This gives us a chance to meet each prospective buyer in person and for you to meet us and the parents of your puppy. I realize that pick up is not always an option for those who live far away so air or ground shipping can be discussed. My puppies are ready for their new homes around 9 weeks of age. We are located in SW Ohio near Cincinnati.
