We're so excited for you to meet our adorable puppies! To ensure a smooth and pleasant experience for everyone, please take a moment to review our visit and purchase guidelines.

​

Scheduling Your Puppy Meet & Greet:

• Appointments are Required: To give each family our dedicated attention, all puppy visits are by appointment only. We are not a retail store, and unscheduled arrivals cannot be accommodated.

• Punctuality is Appreciated: We often have several appointments scheduled. Please arrive on time for your visit. If you anticipate being late or need to reschedule, kindly contact us as soon as possible so we can make arrangements.

• Preparation is Key: Before your visit, please ensure you are fully prepared for a new puppy. We ask that you have discussed this exciting decision with your family/significant other and have submitted your puppy application. This helps us ensure a good match for both you and our puppies!

​

Puppy Pricing & Payment Information:

• Pet Only Sales: All our puppies are sold as "Pet Only" and do not include breed registration papers, unless specific breeding rights are purchased separately.

• Down Payment Process: Once you've chosen your puppy, we will email you a secure down payment form to complete. This form is for your protection and convenience.

• Deposit Payments: Deposits can be made via Venmo, or Square. We will send you a payment request.

• Final Payment: For the final payment at puppy pickup, we require cash.

• Iowa Sales Tax: A 7% Iowa Sales Tax will be applied to all puppy sales.

• No Checks Accepted: We are unable to accept personal checks as a form of payment.

​

Important Information for Out-of-State Buyers (Outside of Iowa):

• Iowa Health Certificate Requirement: Iowa law mandates that any puppy sold to an out-of-state resident must be accompanied by a STATE OF IOWA HEALTH CERTIFICATE, issued by our licensed veterinarian. This certificate includes details about the puppy, you, and our kennel.

• Certificate Issuance: The Iowa Health Certificate can only be issued once a specific puppy has been chosen. This means out-of-state buyers must select their puppy BEFORE traveling to Iowa. Please note that obtaining the certificate can take 24-48 hours, depending on our veterinarian's schedule. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this legal requirement. We encourage you to contact your own veterinarian if you have any questions about this process.

• Rabies Vaccination (If Applicable): If the puppy is 12 weeks old or older at the time of pickup, a rabies vaccination is required by law for out-of-state transfers.

​

Health & Safety Protocols for Your Visit:

• Protecting Our Puppies: To safeguard the health of our vulnerable puppies, we kindly ask that you reschedule your visit if you have been to another breeder, rescue, or have been around a sick dog within 48 hours of your appointment.

• No Outside Pets: Please do not bring your current pets to the appointment.

• Kennel Access: For the safety and well-being of our animals, no one is allowed inside our kennel facilities.

• Restroom Facilities: We do not have public restrooms on-site. Please plan to use facilities before your arrival.
