Once a breeding is planned, the notification list is e-mailed with some information about the dam and stud, along with an expected timeline. Those interested in mentorship will be invited to apply for a mentorship seat at that time. Puppy applications are sent out for completion once pregnancy is confirmed. A completed application does not guarantee you a puppy from that litter.

From there, interviews will begin. We'll meet virtually on Google Meet or Facebook Messenger to discuss the most important traits you'd like to see in your next dog. Once puppies are born, a few applicants will be chosen based on the projected temperament of the puppies. Deposits are collected from those homes at that time. The rest of the applicants are chosen once puppies are 5-8 weeks old and their temperaments are better determined. Deposits are collected from the remaining homes at that time. Placements are selected and announced when puppies are around 6-9 weeks old, after ongoing temperament evaluations are completed. Puppies are placed based on their temperaments and your individual needs, rather than going solely by the order of the waitlist. Applicants that will not be selected for a puppy from that breeding are notified as soon as possible with an included reason.
