From the time of breeding to the time a puppy goes home, is approx. four months.
Many ask:
How long will I have to wait to get a puppy?
There are several factors that play a role to that question
1) When will the next breeding occur? (We have 2-3 litters a year)
2) Was the breeding successful?
3) How many puppies will be in the litter? (don’t know)
4) What sex’s will be in the litter? (don’t know)
5) What coat colors will be in the litter? (don’t know)
6) What color will the puppies’ eyes be? (don’t know)
I will be able to answer 3, 4 and 5 AFTER pups arrive and #6 I won’t be able to determine eye color till pups are 3/4 weeks old at the earliest.
I do not guarantee eye color
KEEP IN MIND; I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MOTHER NATURE
Also, I almost always have a deposit list going (sometimes up to/more than 20 deposits in while waiting on upcoming litters). I have found that even though I carry a long deposit list, people often “roll over” their deposits and choose to wait on other litters. These reasons have varied from going though divorce, loss of job to “just not ready” and various other personal reasons. So, even though my list may be long, the wait for a puppy can be sometimes shorter than expected.
Most reputable breeders have a wait/deposit list.
Same applies for us, we always have a deposit list going. We have a 4/5 month MINIMUM wait, often longer.
Because we only have 2-3 litters a year.
