• Complete the Application

  • Once your application is approved pay the $350 non-refundable Reservation Fee

  • You will be notified when a litter is available that fits your profile 

  • When puppies are born you will receive a birth announcement and a request for a second deposit of $1000 to hold a puppy from the specified litter. 

  • You will be notified at this point when your puppy pick up date is. We do not have the ability to hold pups past the 8 week mark, and so if you cannot pick up on that designated date arrangements must be made ahead of time, or you will be moved to the next available litter.

  • 6-7 weeks we will do temperament assessments to determine the best fit for your family.  You will then be notified of your puppy allocation!

  • Price for a SHAC is $3500 plus MA sales tax. All pets are sold under a spay/neuter contract.

  • We do not allow our families to “pick a puppy”. We have a lengthy process in place and we are best suited to choose the puppy that is best for your family. That being said we invite our families into the process by talking about their specific needs and goals. 

  • We welcome our families to visit their litter WHEN POSSIBLE after they have reached 6 weeks of age. Visits are kept short (1/2 hour per family). Please remember we are not a “pick your puppy” breeding program and so the visit it just that – a visit.

  • We are a busy family with children and puppies and ALL VISITS MUST BE SCHEDULED. 

  • If you have a scheduled appointment please be on time.
