​
Litter Selection
Litter participation is available to approved Tier 2 families in reservation order based on the date their Reservation Fee was received. An additional Commitment Fee is required to move into Ready-to-Match status for a current litter.
Litter lists officially open once puppies are approximately one week of age.
Placement reflects reservation timing and stated preferences, including gender when possible.
Families with flexibility regarding gender, color, markings, or timing may have earlier matching opportunities.
​
Puppy Matching & Selection
For families in our Ready-to-Match tier, puppy selections take place at approximately 6–7 weeks of age, once temperament, structure, coat, and personality are more clearly emerging.
At this stage, we provide personalized matching guidance based on each puppy’s developing traits and your family’s lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
Final selection remains with the family, supported by our recommendations and temperament-based matching insight.

Important Considerations
Please understand that the timing of litters is dependent on natural breeding cycles and successful pregnancies, which cannot be guaranteed or precisely scheduled. For this reason, planned litters may shift, be delayed, or in rare cases, be adjusted or canceled if it is in the best interest of the health and well-being of our parent dogs.
The health and safety of our breeding dogs is always our highest priority.
Because we work with living animals, we are also unable to guarantee specific outcomes such as size, coat type, color, markings, or gender. While we are able to provide educated estimates based on parent genetics and previous litters, these traits can vary within each litter.
If your family is seeking a very specific gender, color, or coat type, we recommend allowing additional flexibility in timing, as this often results in a longer wait to achieve a match that fits those preferences.
Our focus is always on producing healthy puppies and making thoughtful, temperament-based matches that set both puppies and families up for long-term success.
Our goal is to thoughtfully match each puppy with the right family and lifestyle. We know choosing a breeder — and adding a puppy to your family — is an important decision, and we appreciate the time you are taking to get to know us as well.
