Waiting List Information

Our 2010 Goose x Nyea litter-- ten puppies successfully whelped thanks to WhelpWise!
If you would like to be added to our waiting list, please contact us immediately.

Although puppies are placed in their new homes based on personality, temperament and compatibility with each family, not on a first-come-first-served basis, families are contacted for interviews and home visits in the order received.

Families will be placed on our waiting list and guaranteed a puppy only after they have been interviewed and visited with us and the litter at least once (this is typically done between 8 and 11 weeks of age) to ensure a compatible puppy suitable for placement with that family is available. We do not accept deposits for this reason.

Please also note, we do not allow families to "pick" their puppy. Although we take sex and ridged (or not) preferences into account, choosing a puppy based on photos and physical attributes does not render an ideal fit between the puppy and the new family. Keep in mind this is an addition to your family that will likely be your constant companion for the next decade or longer, please trust that we have come to know our puppies the best and can determine which puppy is the best fit for your family.



Yes, we're located in New York BUT...

Although we have relocated to Western New York (between Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY), I make frequent trips back to the Midwest for shows and to visit family and friends. If you are interested in being placed on our waiting list and would like to schedule a home visit and interview to coincide with one of our trips, please contact us.
