How To Purchase ...

We ALWAYS reserve the right to refuse a sale if it is in the best interest of the puppy or dog.

We require a $1000.00 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy. If you are not able to take possession of the puppy (8 weeks or older) right away we will hold it for you for a short time but payment must be made in full. In the event that you can not complete the purchase of the puppy your deposit will be held and you may apply it to a future puppy, you will have 1 year to utilize the deposit after which time your deposit will be forfeited.

WE ACCEPT VISA, MASTERCARD and DISCOVER
The preferred methods of payment are through Venmo, CashApp, or PayPal Friends and Family. We will accept regular PayPal but an extra 2.9% will be added to cover the convenience fees. If the final payment is made with a cashiers check or postal money order it must arrive and clear before we will release the puppy for transportation. If you choose to pick up your puppy in person you will need to bring cash to pay the balance due.

PLEASE NOTE: We will not tolerate charge-backs! Any charge-backs will be prosecuted to the fullest and will be turned over to a collection agency, after which it will be reported to all credit reporting agencies as an unpaid debt that will remain on your record until paid in full. If you pay with a credit card belonging to someone else the cardholder's name will also appear on all the puppy's paperwork along with the actual purchaser's name.

Growth plates are the area of active new bone near the end of the long bones. They’re made up of cartilage, a rubbery, flexible material. Each long bone has at least two growth plates, one at each end.
​
The growth plate determines the future length and shape of your dog’s mature bone. When your puppies’ growth is complete, at approximately 12-18 months of age, the growth plates close and are replaced by solid bone

The growth plate is the weakest area of your puppies growing skeleton, weaker than the nearby ligaments and tendons that connect bones to other bones and muscles. In a puppy, a serious injury to a joint is more likely to damage a growth plate than the ligaments that stabilize the joint. An injury that would cause a sprain in an adult dog can be associated with a growth plate injury in a puppy.
Growth plate injuries often heal well. However, the most frequent complication is the premature closure of the growth plate. When the growth plate closes early, the affected bone grows less than it would have without the injury. The result may be a limb that is shorter than the opposite, uninjured limb. If only part of the growth plate is injured, growth may be uneven and the limb may become crooked.

Most growth plate injuries happen from falling or twisting. Fast-moving activities and too much repetition are also common causes. So while it may be fun to watch your puppy slip and slide on your hardwood floor, or jump off your sofa, these activities increase the risk of growth plate injuries. 

Puppies DO need exercise in the correct amount and type.
Bones are living tissue and grow according to the stresses placed on them. These stresses include appropriate amounts and types of exercise throughout puppyhood.
Too much exercise, either due to excessive bouts of exercise, or a single overload event, may cause an injury to occur.
At the same time, too little exercise may lead to your puppies’ bones not developing to their true potential.
​Your puppy needs the right amount and type of exercise for their age. Accidents may still happen but ensuring enough stress, without overdoing it, will give your puppy the best opportunity of developing a strong skeleton.
Examples of good exercise include:

• Playing with other dogs/puppies of similar energy levels.
• Self-directed play.
• Short walks that lengthen over time.

As your puppy grows you can then progressively introduce activities like stairs, jumping, and swimming. Check out the puppy exercise chart for more details.
