A deposit of $500 lets you "evaluate" a newborn up until 5 1/2 weeks  of age, without risk. If at 5 1/2 weeks of the age the newborn is not developing as you wanted, then you may release the puppy back for sale. Your deposit can then be used to either "evalaute another newborn, OR go toward the purchase of one of our puppies you are sure of OR  the deposit will sit on our waiting list until you are ready to use it. Waiting list deposits are valid  up to 1 1/2 year Once a puppy is 6 weeks old and you wish to purchase then we need to have 50% down on file to reserve.
