Before making a deposit, you must read the following. 

​​​

Deposits

• A $200 non-refundable deposit (+$6 PayPal fee if made online) is required to join our waitlist.

• Deposits sent without prior contact & approval will not be accepted.

​​​

Waitlists

• We maintain six waitlists: Black, Yellow, Chocolate × Male or Female.

• One deposit places you on one or multiple lists, up to you. 

• Deposit date = your spot in line (we do not sell or trade pick orders).

• Breeding pair requests can be noted if you are willing to wait more than a year, but pairings AND color preferences cannot be guaranteed.

• We highly recommend and appreciate joining more than one list to increase availability, or be prepared to wait longer if you only choose one waitlist. 

​​

Preferences & Declines

• If you decline two puppies (from two different litters) within your stated preferences and timeframe, your deposit may be void.

• Updates to your preferences after your deposit date are added to the waitlist as of the new date. Your original preferences remain in their original spot.

​​

Timing

• Breeding and take-home dates are estimates based on past heat cycles (typically every 6–7 months). Litters usually go home May to October of each year (estimated). 

• Our waitlist usually runs 2–5 litters out, depending on your preferences, contact us well in advance.

• We keep our own name at the top, but only take 1-2 puppies every year. Usually less.

​​

Contact Process

• When a litter is born, we begin contacting waitlist families around 1 week later.

• You will have 2 days to confirm once contacted.

• If we cannot reach you after two attempts by phone and email over four days, we will move to the next family in line.

​​

Cancellations

• If you confirm a puppy and later back out before Pick-Up Day, we may:

  • Move your deposit to the bottom of the list, or

  • Retain your deposit and remove you from the list (depending on circumstances).

​​

Pick-Up & Shipping

• Pick-up is in Ennis, MT, the weekend closest to 8 weeks old, we can occasionally meet families at the Bozeman airport. 

• Pick-up appointments are scheduled by deposit order (1st pick, 2nd pick, etc.), with one-hour puppy orientation time slots.

• If you cannot attend your appointment, selections can be made via photos and phone with our guidance the week before.

• Out-of-state shipping is available (see Shipping page). 

 

Note
Because we breed three colors of Labradors, sometimes all colors can be in one single litter. Our policies reflect this possibility. Please contact us with any questions, we’re happy to help clarify.
