What is your "Waiting List"?

Our "waiting list" is a list of people that have told us that they would like to get a puppy from us. They tell us what colour and whether they want a male or female puppy.

When we have a new litter, we wait 2 weeks before we put the pictures etc. on our website.  In the mean time we notify the people on our waiting list that we have new pup available. This means that they get first pick to "reserve" the puppy of their choice. Once the waiting list has had first choice, then the pictures are put up for the rest to see the remaining puppies if there is any. 

How do I Reserve my puppy?

We accept "reserves" on puppies with a $100.00 non-refundable deposit. This can be in the form of a cheque or money order.                                                                                             Where are you located ... ?

We are located in KAMINISTIQUIA, ONTARIO, just outside of  THUNDER BAY, ONT.

I live far from you, will you ship me a puppy?

YES we do ship puppies wherever Air Canada OR west Jet flies

Air Canada has some restrictions. They will not accept live animals for shipping when the weather is TOO COLD or TOO HOT.

This means that the pups cant fly between December to March 31.  And sometimes during hot weather in the summer.

West Jet has climate control and can accept puppies anytime.

How old are they when they are ready for their new home?

We do not let any puppies leave their mother until they are at least 8-9 weeks old.  We like to let the moms wean their babies naturally.
