FAQ

How much do the puppies cost?

Our puppies are AKC registered with a focus on true health and are $1,900 each. This comes with a 2-year health guarantee, and additional important information.

Do you accept deposits, how does payment work, and what is your process?

Whenever we announce a new litter here on our website, call us at 484-796-3017. We will place you on our call list for when that litter arrives. The call list is created in the order of phone calls received.

Once a litter is born, and we know how many males and females there are, we will contact everyone on our “call list”. Then, in the order of call backs with deposits, you’ll have choice of the litter. We strongly recommend an in-person choosing, but if somebody wants to do a virtual choosing of the puppy, we can accommodate by sending pictures by email. However, final pick up must be in-person.

If you wish to secure your puppy, you can place a deposit of $500 via PayPal, which will hold him/her until final pickup. The remaining balance is due at the time of pickup, in cash.


We accept deposits via PayPal. It is easy to establish a free account, which you can use to submit a deposit.

How often do you have new puppies?

We do not have a specific breeding schedule. The number of litters varies year to year depending on when we determine our female is ready. Because the good health and well-being of our animals is paramount, we analyze the dam's condition to be sure she's ready.

What dog food do you feed your dogs/puppies?

We started with a new and exciting dog food called Dr. Gary's Best Breed (Working Dog Recipe). We've noticed that the dogs are more content and happy, much less reactive (barky) to environment, and they're eating way less food. The food was recommended by a fellow professional breeder of 35 years.

Stud service is available only to approved females. Call 484-796-3017 to inquire.

What can we expect at pick-up?

Each client will receive at final visit a 35 lb bag of dog food, a leash, and a small & large collar. Collars and leash are constructed of soft and pliable, yet durable, bio material with stainless steel hardware that is guaranteed for the life of your pet.

Do you ship the dogs?

We do not believe in shipping our puppies, as it could compromise their safety. We ask that people who are interested in purchasing a puppy go through our formal meet-and-greet process as well as an interview. Our focus is on finding the best homes for our dogs—and the best dogs for your home!
