**Puppies are evaluated for structure, temperament, and core reactions starting at birth.  Evaluations continue til weaning and sometimes beyond.  Puppies are listed as Hold, Available, or Reserved.  Hold pups are pups that we are evaluating for retaining in our program or one of our specific working teams.  Their status may change depending upon further evaluations.  Available pups are offered to approved waitlist homes before new inquiries. However, if listed as available, we will evaluate your situation and put your name on your preference and should that put fit your home and be available after waitlist, you will be contacted.  Sometimes this is immediate, sometimes it can take a few weeks.  Reserved are pups that are spoken for and being held for a waitlist individual. Their status may change if their initial evaluation does not continue to fit the homes requirements.   Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding any of our pups or for information regarding our waitlist.
