We are anticipating a breeding in April. Puppies from this litter will likely be going to their homes in August. We reserve your "picking order" with your deposit. First deposit gets first pick, second deposit gets second pick, and so on. There is no guarantee on color or gender, as we cannot control that.  

We firmly believe each of our puppies are equally valuable, regardless or color or gender. Our primary focus is on finding the right match for you!  Your $500 deposit goes toward the total package price of $1,700, so after your deposit $1,200 is due before pickup.

We will start accepting deposits once we have a breeding (watch Facebook for the announcement). Your deposit reserves your picking order (1st pick, 2nd pick, 3rd pick, etc...). There is no guarantee of color or gender, but you do get a guarantee of a healthy Kittelson puppy of your choice. 

We plan to wait till 3 or 4 weeks of age for puppy parents to pick their fur babies. Their eyes will be open and we will start to see some personality by then. Most people pick remotely via video chat and do not have to come in person. Although you are welcome to come pick in person if you would like. 

Your deposit money, of course, goes toward the final price of your puppy. Keep in mind that our deposits are non-refundable. If you change your mind and decide not to adopt your puppy you will forfeit your deposit money. We want to make sure our adopters are committed to our puppies.

The best option for your pup if you cannot make the trip yourself. We will connect you with our hand-selected Pet Transporter. Your pup will ride in style and receive care and affection, food, potty stops, and show up on your door step well-taken care of. You pay the contracted price upon your puppy's arrival to the delivery professional (this is not included in your puppy package). Prices vary by your location and quotes are given case-by-case. Call us for contact information to get a quote.

A fantastic option is to fly out to the Portland, OR airport. I can meet you there and hand you your puppy in an airline approved carry-one kennel. Alaska Airlines is still allowing pet carry-ons during Covid. You fly back with your puppy at your feet. For more information click here.

At this time most airlines have stopped permitting pet cargo. Fortunately, Alaska Airlines is keeping it open. However, many airports will not accept pet cargo if the weather forecast at time of arrival is 85 degrees F or more. The 2020 litter will be going home in August, so this is a slim chance and would have to be arriving on red-eye flights to avoid the heat. For more information click here.
