Frequently Asked Puppy Questions...
How much for a puppy?
Our puppies are $2800. The sex of the puppy does not influence the price.
A "picking order" does not affect the price. If you need additional boarding, training, or breeding rights then that's where there are additional fees.

Do you offer additional training?
We offer additional training for weeks 8-12 of the puppy's life for several reasons. One reason is for a puppy to have a better foundational start to becoming a service, therapy or emotional support dog. Another reason is for those who want a puppy as a family pet, but need help with getting through a potentially challenging phase. The extra cost for this service is an additional $2000.
Why should we do additional training?
Between weeks 8 and 12, puppies love to explore their world with their teeth, voice and often times jumping. Sometimes they don't appreciate their new environment with restrictions, which is a very essential part of growing up: the crate, set feeding times, wearing a harness and being controlled by a leash. It is a critical time in getting your puppy off to the right start. The extra training we offer helps your puppy to sleep through the night, to not jump, bite, or bark as much, accept that the crate is their safety place, which also aids in potty training so that your puppy doesn't pee or poo all over the house.
How do we get on a list to reserve a puppy?
If you are wanting a puppy from us, you will need to complete our puppy questionnaire, puppy contract and put down a $400 nonrefundable administrative fee. Our breeding practices have allowed us keep a pre-reserved waiting list. Currently, the waiting times are roughly 6 months for a puppy. This fee is your guarantee to us, that you are serious about having a puppy join your family. It gives us the ability to start the process of qualifying you and your family for a puppy. We complete a variety of background checks on you. If you are found to have any domestic violence or animal abuse cases in your past you will not be eligible for a puppy from us. This fee also helps cover our time in consultation and follow up with you, and aids in paying for critical care items needed for puppies. So, please make certain you are ready for a puppy before you continue further.
​
Refund Exceptions:
We do understand that it's impossible to predict the future. In the event we fail to produce a puppy within the time contracted to arrive, or the puppy fails to thrive, your fee is 100% refundable. In the event you need to hold off on getting a puppy, we will allow you to put the puppy plans on hold, for no longer than a year, with no additional fee, as long as you tell us before the litter is born. However, if the sales price of the puppy has changed the contract price will be amended.

Planned Litters
Which litter should you choose?
This section is just a brief bit of information on our breeding pairs. If you are interested in the parents' biographical information, please visit our females and studs sections.
​
Let me start out by saying, we are very selective of our breeding dogs. We have re-homed dogs we felt would not be good for our program, after raising them for almost 2 years. But because we take this very seriously, we do not put forth any breeding that would not only better the breed, but would not represent what our goals are when breeding. We only breed dogs which are of a calm, loving dispositions, with excellent temperaments, and almost perfect conformation. Therefore, any breeding pair will produce similar offspring.
Breeding Plans
Midnight to Major
Breeding 1/2025 and 8/2025
This will be Midnight's 2nd litter to Major. Midnight is our son's service dog, for Type 1 Diabetes. She was purchased, as a puppy, to be a breeder for us, but has turned out to be so much more. She is such a fun-loving, intelligent dog and accompanies us to many places. Even though she and Major are both black, their coat color genetics will permit this breeding to be blacks and yellows.
Secret to Major
Breeding January 2025 and August 2025
This will be the first litter for Secret and Major. Secret's last litter was to our Captain. Their puppies are a year old and doing great. we just chose to use Major this time. Because we are very selective of our breeding dogs, we expect this litter to be as stellar as any litter we've produced. We expect yellows and blacks.
Gabbi to Chief
Breeding March 2025 and October 2025
This will be our 2nd litter of Gabbi x Chief puppies. we are excited about this breeding because their puppies have turned out absolutely gorgeous. Your typical chocolate Labradors are not calm and easy to cuddle with. We selected 2 amazing parents to produce just that.
