Reservations are arranged after a personal or phone conversation where we get to know each other and discuss what you expect from a puppy. After we agree, you pay a deposit which holds the puppy until collection. We choose the specific puppy together, usually when they are 5–6 weeks old.

The price depends on the specific litter and current situation — we are happy to provide you with the price during personal communication. The price includes FCI pedigree, microchip, complete initial vaccination, two deworming treatments, veterinary check-up and a starter food pack.

Puppies go to new families at the earliest at 8 weeks of age. Before collection they receive their first vaccination, are microchipped, and have their FCI pedigree issued. Until this age they stay with their mother and siblings, which is crucial for their healthy development and socialization.

On collection day you receive:

• Original FCI pedigree
• Veterinary record with vaccination and microchip details
• Starter food pack with the food the puppy is used to
• A toy or blanket carrying the scent of mother and siblings, to ease the transition
• Care manual and practical advice
• Our lifetime support — we are always there for you with advice

Yes. All our breeding dogs undergo a complete panel of DNA tests for breed-specific conditions (PRA, FN, AMS), X-rays of hip and elbow joints, eye examination and heart examination. Results of all tests are publicly available in the Our Dogs section. We only include individuals with satisfactory results in breeding.

Of course — and we even recommend it. By appointment, we welcome you to our home from the age of 4–5 weeks so you can choose your future companion and see the conditions they grow up in. You will also meet the mother (and sometimes the father) of the puppies.

Puppies grow up directly in our home, not in kennels. From birth they are in daily contact with the family including children, visitors, other animals and common household sounds (vacuum cleaner, hairdryer, traffic). Before leaving for new homes they also experience cars, various surfaces and basic situations. This period is crucial for a dog's entire life.

Yes, we have experience handing over puppies abroad, primarily within EU countries. The puppy must have a valid European pet passport and all necessary vaccinations for travel. We prefer personal handover — either you come to collect the puppy, or we can help arrange transport by mutual agreement.

The relationship with our families does not end at collection — on the contrary, it often only begins. We are available anytime for questions about upbringing, feeding, health or training. It makes us very happy to see photos and hear how "our" dogs are doing in their new homes.
