"Please, if you are 'price shopping' or decided that you need a puppy 'right now' (spur of the moment decision), please don't call us, seriously.  We prefer to offer a pup in the future which assures us the adoptive family is planning ahead of time.

We want you to choose us because you have been shopping for reputable breeder and you appreciate what we are all about.

Quality care costs money.  There is no such thing as a 'discount' pet.  There may be a little price difference up front but quality care costs exactly the same over your pets lifetime.  A discount pup will usually end up costing you more in care and training so why not put the odds in your favor?!

If one skimps on the cost of a quality pup, our feeling is that same person will take shortcuts on the pups day to day care, including dog food, housing and expert Veterinary care. 

Our contract requires quality care, annual check-ups, etc. in order to maintain its lifetime guarantee.

If you want a bargain, please consider Brittany rescue!  You'll save the life of the dog and feel good at the same time!  We applaud rescuers!

Our puppies are highly bred with much thought and work put into each and every litter.  We do not ever offer 'discount' pups or have 'extras' left over.  It just doesn't work that way.  We have a list of qualified families waiting should someone not be able to take their pup. 

We never want to be in a rush to find a quality family which is why we have a 12 month waiting list for just a few pups.  We've seen negative outcomes with the 'last minute puppy buyer' but rarely with a family that plans in advance!"

Here are the 10 steps in obtaining a pup from us

First:  Click here for info / FAQ'S about our puppies Before contacting us as most common and unique questions are answered.

Second: Please read our interview by clicking here.

Third:  After you have read the FAQ's and the interview, and, if you remain interested, we openly welcome your e-mail and phone calls.

Fourth:  Submit your interview via e-mail using our contact form.  The interview is consistent with our contract so there are no surprises.

Fifth:  Wait for us to reply as to whether or not your application / interview for a puppy from us was approved or not.  If approved, decide whether you would like the option for first pick of sex (we require you know what sex pup you want in advance, hence pick of sex).  Asking for pick of sex can extend your wait time.  Pay your deposit at that time as that is the only way you can get on the wait list.

Sixth:   Wait for your puppy.  Your wait can be up to 12 full months since we produce a few pups per year on average.  You will not receive any puppy updates until we have a female actually bred with the appearance of pregnancy.  (We have found that the wait is not helped by sending out notices confirming that "yes, we are still waiting for the female to come in season".  That does no one any good.  Watch this page for updates.  If we post a pregnancy and you have not been contacted, contact us by all means.  That usually means you are not on the list for that particular litter.)

Seventh:  Prepare for your new arrival.  Baby / Puppy proof your home & yard, install a new fence or mend an old one.  Shop for puppy toys and such.  Contact pet sitters to determine who is reputable when you go away on vacation / emergencies without your Brittany.  Basically, you should make preparations for your pup in such a way as you would a child.  Safety, welfare, health (A good Vet!), etc.  We will provide you with a supplemental list to prepare for your pup prior to arrival.  This list will answer many common questions such as those about dog food, feeding, shots, etc.

Eighth:  Expect delivery at 7 to 8 weeks of age.  We do allow the 49th day pick as some believe in but encourage you to wait until your pup is a full 8 weeks old.

Ninth:  If your puppy is being flown to you, send your balance due including estimated shipping fees at least 2 weeks in advance of the arrival day.  If not being shipped, plan a day off to pick up the pup by coordinating it with us.  Payment is expected upon delivery.

Tenth:  Enjoy your pup but remember to take your pup to a licensed Vet within 3 business days of delivery as required by our contract.  You must also routinely / emergently provide health care through a licensed Vet to maintain your lifetime guarantees.
