When we start allowing those on the waiting list who have paid their deposits to pick a puppy, I will contact the first person (oldest date of contact) first. Each person will have 24 hours to choose their pup or pass. We generally start this process when the puppies are a few weeks old to ensure pups are healthy. If your chosen puppy is found to have a major health issue (heart murmur, etc.) at the 6 week exam, you may pass and pick another puppy if available, wait until next litter, or possibly be offered a discount. (Umbilical hernias DO NOT qualify.) We do NOT wait until 8 weeks to choose puppies based on behavior or personality traits. *
