Choosing a Breeder: Exciting & Important

We know that picking a breeder is both exciting and a little nerve-wracking — it’s a big decision, and you want to get it right. To help ease the process, here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from future puppy parents.


Deposit Policy We require a $500 non-refundable deposit to hold your puppy. The deposit secures your spot and goes toward the total cost. It is only refundable if we’re unable to provide you with a puppy.

Pickup Options We offer several convenient puppy pickup locations:

  • North Port, FL
  • Ocala, FL (near the Wildwood exit)
  • Or we’re happy to meet at one of the following airports:
    • Tampa International
    • Punta Gorda
    • Fort Myers
    • Orlando International

We understand the importance of feeling confident in your decision. If you're local or willing to travel, we're happy to arrange visits when appropriate.



We begin foundational experiences like crate introduction, potty habits, and basic socialization to set your puppy up for success.

​All of our Curly-Coated Retriever puppies are registered with the AKC (American Kennel Club). Currently, our Dachshund litters are registered exclusively with UKC (United Kennel Club). We provide the necessary paperwork and instructions for registration based on the breed.

Extended Stay Policy We’re happy to accommodate holding your puppy past the scheduled pickup date when arranged in advance. After the initial 7-day grace period, a care fee of $10 per day will apply to cover food, handling, and continued socialization.
