Step 1 - Complete an Interest Form
Filling out our Interest Form is free and helps us learn more about each other so we can see if we are a good fit. Click here to start the process today!
Step 2 - Schedule a Video Call
Within 1-2 business days of submitting your Interest Form, I will reach out to set up a video call to learn more about you and your family, explain our process in greater detail, and answer all your questions.
Step 3 - Reserve Your Puppy
After the video call (if we both agree to move forward), you'll then have the opportunity to place your non-refundable $400 deposit to reserve your place in line for Puppy Picks. (The Reservation Fee goes toward the Puppy Purchase Price of $2400). A Reservation Agreement will accompany your payment.
We do puppy picks when puppies are 7 weeks old after all have been temperament tested. Each family on the Reservation List will be able to view the temperament test videos and results to help them select a puppy. You can learn about our current and planned litters here.
Step 4 - Watch for Pup-Updates
It can be hard to wait for puppies to be born or for them to be ready to come home. In the meantime, you can follow us on Facebook or Instagram. Once the pups are born, we will post Pup-Updates with photos and videos at least weekly on these social media platforms. Be sure to follow us so you don’t miss an update!
Step 5 - Puppy Picks
Once puppies are 7 weeks old and temperament tests are complete, we then do Puppy Picks in the order that Reservation Fees ($400) were placed. Each family on the Reservation List will be able to view the temperament test videos and results to help them select a puppy. I'll reach out with some date/time options for our video call to discuss test results and puppy choices.
Step 6 - Go Home Day!
Per Ohio law, puppies may transition to live with their fur-ever families at no younger than 8 weeks of age. Go-home dates are specific to each litter and will be communicated ahead of time. A mutual time will be chosen for you to pick up your puppy. Please contact us for details if you are interested in using a Flight Nanny or delivery. You can begin preparing to take your puppy home now!
