Any puppies available? How much are adoption fees? When can I receive my puppy?
Our puppy page is kept current to within a few days. Adoption fees range from
$500 to $850 for an AKC companion pup. In most cases, pups are a minimum of 8 weeks before they are ready for new homes.
How do I know my pup is healthy? Do you check for "collie eye"?
We have all AKC puppies examined by a
board-certified ophthalmologist.
We also have all puppies visit our
regular vet
who examines them for general health and vigor. He also checks for congenital defects including hernias, luxating patellas and
heart defects. All puppies receive appropriate vaccinations. We offer a one year written health guarantee. We are always available
to answer questions about your puppy's health after he/she is in your home. We include instructions on care, feeding and all
appropriate paperwork from the above examinations.
How do we purchase a puppy?
Call or email to tell us of your decision.
We will quickly respond in the manner by which you contacted us.
To secure your puppy choice, a $150 down payment is required. Deposits are non-refundable after pups are 2 weeks of age.
The balance of puppy cost, plus any shipping expense, is due before travel.
Most forms of payment are accepted.
If using PayPal
, add 3% of PayPal payment to cover transaction fee.
What about shipping?
Air travel is best for long distances. After years of experience, we can confidently say that
puppies fly amazingly well. The stress of air travel is short-lived and no worse than car stress.
Air travel cost is $400. We try to fly out of St. Cloud, MN, but sometimes we
have to fly pups out of Minneapolis. Travel expenses look like this: $225 air fare,
$25 travel crate, $60 "Interstate Health and Acclimation" veterinarian certification, $40 mileage to St. Cloud airport
or $90 mileage to Mpls. If total shipping cost varies by more than $25, we will send a refund, or charge
you, accordingly. If you are within close proximity to central Minnesota, you may pick up your puppy yourself.
