FAQ’s concerning the purchasing process for our puppies…

Thank you for your interest in adding a Vom Hause Alistair puppy to your family. I receive a lot of inquiries asking questions about the way we operate and thought I should outline our process.

I try to fulfill buyer’s puppy requests as quickly as possible, but most of my litters are sold before they are born or shortly there after. I have a waitlist that I am happy to add people to in order to lock in their spot. I encourage anyone serious about adding a puppy from our kennel to be placed on the waitlist as it is the only way to ensure you will receive a puppy in a timely manner. In order to be placed on my waitlist, I have a reservation agreement I fill out, both parties sign, and then accept a $250.00 non-refundable fee. This reservation fee goes towards the total purchase price of the puppy and counts as half of the total deposit amount needed to lock in your puppy pick. After you have been placed on the waitlist, as each litter is born, I start on the top of my waitlist and contact folks to let them know babies have been born - at that time buyer’s can decide if they want a puppy from that litter. If you choose that litter - we accept the remaining $250.00 which serves as the total deposit amount of $500.00. No other payment is necessary until 8 weeks at either pickup or shipping. If you decide, you do not want a puppy from the current litter, you keep your spot on the list and we will contact you with each subsequent litter that is born until buyer is satisfied and chooses a litter to purchase a puppy from.

I love for my families to see the puppies and feel like a part of the process. I send updates with photos and videos at least weekly, sometimes more frequently. I post photos and updates to our Facebook page also, so feel encouraged to add my kennel’s Facebook page to stay up-to-date on all announcements and pictures. I also welcome potential buyers to video call (facetime or google duo) and “meet” me and the puppies.

Choosing your puppy goes in order of who was on the waitlist and secured their puppy via a deposit first - typically puppies are chosen as they are picked up at 8 weeks old or we can arrange video calling/emailing pictures for those families that will be having their puppy shipped.

I do ship ground and air. I have a couple ground transporters that are terrific and it typically costs $300-$500 (this can vary depending on different factors). Shipping is done between the puppies new family and the transporter - I am happy to set this up. Just let me know.

Another FAQ is puppy price — Puppies are generally $2500 across the board. I do not charge different prices based on puppies gender. I do SOMETIMES have a discounted puppy - I will post that information if the situation occurs, otherwise, the price is $2500 and firm. I am non-negotiable on my puppy price.

We follow the European standard and do not dock tails or front dewclaws. We do remove rear dewclaws.

Any other questions - feel free to send me a message on Facebook, text, or call. I love my puppy families and look forward to meeting you!!
