Review the site and learn about the breed. Next, submit a Puppy Application. Note your 'must haves' on the application. The more open you are to gender, coat, and size, the sooner a litter will be assigned to you. We are not a puppy store, and we prioritize honoring the proper placement of our puppies. 

Complete a phone interview with CHL. When approved, submit $100 Reservation fee. Fee is non-refundable. Your name will then be added to the Master Reservation list, and possibly a specific litter list or training slot if applicable. 

Check back often to watch your placement on the Master Reservation list, as it is fluid and changing frequently. Many times clients ahead of you may pass due to size or timing of the litter. Clients are contacted, in list order, when a litter of the requested size is expected due or born. 

What is the temperament matching process?

Whether you are in need of a dog for service, ESA, facility or therapy work, or as a family companion- temperament testing is key to finding the right puppy for the job. At your puppy visit, we will dive deeper into learning more about your needs to make the right match. What will be the role of the dog? Who will care for and train puppy? How much time will the puppy be alone? What energy is best for your lifestyle? Do you have children or other pets? What is your previous experience with puppy raising? 

Temperament Evaluations are done around day 49-52. Individual puppy date, scorecards, and interpretations are made available to clients waiting for that specific litter. After reviewing the temperament results, we will ask for your top 2-3 choices and then matches are ultimately assigned by CHL. Breeder selection for dogs to add to our program or the Stud owners program occur first. Service dogs, facility dogs have next priority with placements. ESA, therapy dogs, and family companions are also matched using the same procedures. 

We want our clients to be 100% happy with the puppy matched to them and transparent with the process. How does this work? You may choose to accept the puppy assigned, or pass and return to your position on the Master Reservation list to wait for another puppy. Please note, clients ahead of you on the Master Reservation list may have passed on a particular litter due to size or timing, but then accept a position on the list for the next litter. Passing on a puppy assignment does not necessarily mean you will be first in line on the next litter born. 

When you accept a position on a litter list, it is expected that you will take home your puppy on the scheduled Gotcha Day, choose another delivery option, or enroll your puppy in our training class.  Gotcha days are on the Saturday after the puppies turn 8 weeks old. 

We strive to get the temperament matches right from the beginning. If for any reason you are unable to care for your puppy or dog, we will take back your puppy and assist in re-homing.  Puppy mills and backyard breeders will not offer to take back a puppy. Please buy responsibly.

Look over the Master Reservation list, posted on this page. Reservation order is based on deposit date. The list is fluid and frequently changing. Frequently, clients pass due to size or timing of the litter.  Estimated time to be offered a puppy is  noted on the list, but this is only an estimate. Timing of the litters is dependent on mother nature. Breeder has all rights to puppies born and how many puppies will be released to the Master list. Most commonly, 1 or 2 spots are held for Breeders per litter. When you are assigned to a litter, your name will be placed on the specific litter list. Families who have been on the reservation list for more than 2 years, or have passed on available litters multiple times will be marked INACTIVE until we have received further notification of interest. .
