Frequently asked
If the answer you need is not here, text us and ask — we would rather answer twenty questions now than rehome a dog in a year.
What does a puppy cost, and what is included?
$700 with a $200 deposit. That covers first vaccines, worming, microchip registration, BAER hearing test, the parents' health certificates, a starter bag of the food they are weaned onto, and a written two-year genetic guarantee.
Do you ship, or do I collect the puppy?
Collection at the kennel, always. No cargo shipping. If the drive is long we can usually meet you partway, or you can arrange a licensed ground courier and we will hand the puppy over in person.
Are heelers alright with children and other pets?
With supervision and early work on the heeling instinct, yes — ours live with cats, chickens and grandchildren. Under about five years old we usually suggest waiting: running toddlers look exactly like stock that needs moving.
Can an apartment or a full-time job work?
Sometimes, if you are honest with us about the plan — a midday walker, a dog sport, a job site the dog rides along to. Eight hours alone in a flat with no outlet is where these dogs go wrong, and we would rather say so before you pay a deposit.
How does the waiting list work if these puppies are all placed?
Text us and we add your name to a list kept in a notebook, not a portal. No fee to hold a place. When the next litter is confirmed pregnant you get a message before the site is updated.
One text. No forms, no waitlist portal.
Messages reach us directly, so replies land within a few hours between six and nine. Tell us about your home and we will answer every question you have.
