Planned Pairing & Pick Order Notice: Placing a deposit establishes your priority picking order in sequence of deposit receipt, but does not guarantee that you will get a puppy out of a specific planned pairing or future litter listed on the website. There are natural unknowns before birth—including total litter size, gender/sex ratio, and puppy color. If a puppy matching your preferences is not whelped in that pairing, your deposit and priority pick order remain fully active and roll over to our next available litter.
