If you are interested in being added to our waitlist for our 2024 litter plans, please read about our puppy purchase process and follow the link below for our Puppy Application, and fill it out to the best of your ability:
Note: we are primarily seeking additional show, sport, hunting, and/or breeding homes at this time,
but welcome active companion homes to apply as well.
Our puppy purchase process is as follows:
- Optional (at any time!): Contact us with questions about the breed and/or our program! We are happy to spread the good word about the breed or talk about our goals, regardless if you are looking for a puppy or not.
- Fill out & submit our Puppy Application.
- Video or Phone Call with us – this is a two-way interview guided by the information provided through our Puppy Application.
- If both parties agree to move forward, we will send a copy of our boilerplate puppy purchase contract for your reference and review (which will be customized based on your needs/goals and the puppy(s) available)
- If the boilerplate puppy purchase contract is agreeable, you give us the “all-in” and we will add you to our waitlist.
- Shortly after puppies are born, we will contact those on our waitlist to let them know a puppy is available for them. Likely when the puppies are between 2 and 4 weeks old, we will request a non-refundable deposit to hold your spot.
- When the puppies are around 7 weeks old, based on evaluations by us and trusted mentors, we will pair each puppy to each family. We do not allow families to pick their puppy; however, we will take each family’s needs and goals into account when matching them with a puppy. We find this method best to ensure a successful match.
- When the puppies are around 8 weeks old, we will organize a “Puppy Pickup Party” at our home in San Diego, CA. We will finalize payments and paperwork, answer questions, have lunch, take photos, and send you home with your new adventure buddy!
- For the lifetime of your puppy, we provide support, encouragement, and (god forbid) a soft place to land should your puppy ever need it. Due to our commitment to preservation of the Drentsche Patrijshond, we have a vested interest in each of the puppies we produce, whether they go on to be breeding candidates, sport dogs, or beloved family pets.
Thank you for your interest! We will reply with next steps as soon as possible.
