Puppy arrivals will be announced on this site as well as my Facebook site.   To receive updated information notices go to the above Facebook link and follow us. Note: I do not maintain a waiting list nor accept deposits prior to availability being announced.   To be kept up on when puppies arrive and availability is announced "follow" my Facebook/Instagram page to receive those notices.  Once puppies arrive I will post that to both my website and Facebook.  Usually, within the first week, I will post individual pictures and availability. Once availability is announced then puppies can be reserved on a first request first reserve basis.  The exception to that is if a past client is looking to add a puppy to their family they will have the opportunity to pick a puppy prior to availability being announce if they contact me in advance. I will open emails in the order they arrive in my inbox.  Do not request through Facebook. A $500 non refundable deposit will hold your puppy until 8 weeks of age. Puppies are given names for our convenience of identification.  You are welcome to change the puppies name and name him the name of your choice on his registration papers.  All puppies come with AKC registration papers.   **ALL puppies are sold with limited registration.   Limited registration means that the puppy can not be used for breeding.  A non-refundable deposit of $500 will hold a puppy. The balance of the price of the puppy is due at the time the puppy is 8 weeks old.  Personal checks will be accepted for deposits if it is received three weeks prior to the puppy's pick up.  Balance paid at time of puppy pick up should be in the form of cash or Zelle transaction.  Please make checks out to Patty Black.  Puppies need to be picked up by 9 weeks of age unless other arrangement have been agreed too prior to reserving a puppy.
