What is the cost of your puppies?
Our puppies range from $3500-$4,500 on AKC limited registration. Ear cropping is included in that price. We are excited to offer Klarna and Afterpay, as a financing option in case that price all at once isn’t feasible.
What is included with the puppy?
Our puppies come cropped, docked, dew claws removed, receive age-appropriate vaccinations and dewormings, a pre-registered microchip, 1-month of free AKC pet insurance, a vet check by a licensed veterinarian, a two-year health guarantee, and lifetime breeder support.
Puppies will also go home with a puppy starter kit which includes: a collar, food, toy, blanket with scent of litter mates, travel bowl, and folder with all health records, as well as some tips for adjusting your puppy to its new home.
Do you handle the aftercare of the ear cropping procedure?
Yes! We do OFFER to handle aftercare post-crop. This is not required, puppy can go home after crop and you and your vet can handle aftercare as well.
How does puppy placement work?
Prior to placing a deposit and being added to the wait list, prospective families must fill out a puppy application. The application and discussion with you tells us more about the type of temperament and drive that would be best for your family. We then do the Volhard’s Puppy Aptitude Test. After temperament testing, we take into consideration the desired drive and temperament and match the puppy that we feel would be the best fit with the prospective family. We do share scores of the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test with you, to come to a mutual agreement/decision.
Do you require a deposit to be placed on your wait list? If so, is it refundable if I change my mind or a litter is not produced?
Yes. We require an application and $1,000 non-refundable deposit to be placed on the wait list. In the event that pregnancy does not occur, or a puppy with the desired temperament, sex, and color preference is not produced, your deposit will be deferred to a later litter.
Do you ever offer full registration?
To preserve the breed and our bloodlines, we only sell our puppies on limited registration from the American Kennel Club (AKC). Unless you are willing to do a co ownership, then we will offer full rights.
Do you allow visitors?
For the safety of our family and dogs, we do not allow visitors. We do offer FaceTime with families. We also offer public local meet-ups.
