Pricing & Process
​
Bringing home a puppy is an investment- not only financially but emotionally. We take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is to raise well-prepared, healthy and happy Miniature American Shepherd puppies and thoughtfully place them in homes ready for a lifelong companion.
​
Below is an overview of our pricing and how our process works.
​
Pricing
​
All puppies are placed in companion homes on limited registration with a spay/neuter agreement. Full rights for an additional charge may be available in limited cases pending our approval. On rare occasions, breeding rights may be considered for programs that closely align with our values and standards.
​
Miniature American Shepherd Puppies
​
Pet pricing ranges from $2000 - $2500 depending on individual factors such as size, sex, coat color, eye color, and overall structure.
​
While certain colors or smaller sizes may be more in demand, every puppy receives the same loving and intentional care. Our priority is raising healthy, well-balanced companions and not simply flashy markings.
​
German Shorthaired Pointers
​
Our GSP puppies are priced at $2000.
​
Reserving a Puppy
​
We strive to keep our process straightforward and transparent.
​
To reserve a puppy from a current litter, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required and applied toward the total purchase price. The remaining balance is due at pick-up or prior to delivery.
​
We do not hold a puppy without a deposit.
​
Future Litters & Waitlist
​
Families who would like early access to upcoming litters may join our waitlist.
​
A $300 non refundable waitlist fee secures your place and is applied toward your total deposit. Once puppies are born and you are ready to move forward with a specific puppy, the remaining $200 completes the $500 deposit to hold a puppy.
​
Puppy selections typically begin around 6 weeks of age. That allows us time to observe temperament, confidence and drive so we can thoughtfully guide each family toward the best fit.
First pick in each litter is reserved for Foxtail Hollow.
Going Home
Most puppies go home between 8-12 weeks of age, depending on individual readiness and size.
​
Puppies are training pad and/or litter box trained. They are introduced to crate training and weather permitting they are also introduced to outdoor potty habits beginning around 6 weeks of age.
​
Pick-up & Transportation
​
We are happy to work with families throughout North Carolina and nationwide.
​
In Person Pick-up
​
Families are welcome to pick up their puppy directly from our home.
​
Ground Transport
​
We offer personal ground delivery within the Eastern and Midwest United States. We are happy to meet within one hour of our home at no additional charge. Beyond that, transport fees are based upon distance and current travel costs.
​
Airport Meet-up (RDU)
​
We can meet families at Raleigh-Durham International Airport in NC for no additional charge so you may fly home with your puppy in-cabin yourself (airline carry-on pet fees apply).
​
Hand Delivery by Us
​
We also offer nationwide hand delivery by flying with your puppy (in cabin) to your nearest major airport where we can then meet you to deliver your puppy to you. This service typically ranges from $650-$1,000, depending on location and flight costs from RDU.
​
We personally handle transportation of our puppies to ensure a safe and low-stress experience for each puppy. Feel free to ask for a no obligation quote to deliver a puppy to you.
​
We understand that bringing home a puppy is a meaningful decision, and we are here to answer questions and guide you every step of the way.
