Interested in adding a Windward PWD to your home?
Can you "pick out" your puppy? In short, NO. As the breeders with many years of PWD experience, we evaluate our puppies from the beginning to learn their personalities. It is far more important that each puppy's personality will fit with your family's needs than it is that you get the puppy you want based on looks. If you are adamant that you get to pick out your puppy, then we are not the breeders for you. While we will do our best to honor your "wish list" (male/female, curly/wavy, color), we ultimately have the final say and will place each puppy in the appropriate home. Families find out which puppy will be theirs when the puppies are 8 weeks old.
So what do you get besides a new PWD puppy? The cost of our puppies includes complete health testing on their AKC-registered parents. Records of such tests and a copy of their pedigree will be provided (and should always be verified on www.ofa.org as some breeders have been falsifying health records) electronically or with hard copies. Your puppy will have their dewclaws removed shortly after birth. Your puppy will be wormed multiple times as it is common for nursing puppies to carry roundworms. They will receive their first two vaccinations, allowing their first trip to your vet to be happy visits without being poked. If we are able to coordinate schedules with the canine ophthalmologist, we have all puppies checked with a CAER exam before leaving for their homes. Your puppy will be highly socialized to people of varying ages as well as older dogs based on the protocols of Puppy Culture. Our puppies are raised right in our living room so that they receive daily hands-on interaction and are familiar with the normal sights and sounds of a household. We also like to send pictures and/or videos at least once per week so you can enjoy watching your puppy grow. We frequently do livestream videos or post photos to our Facebook page as well. (If you live close or can make the trip, we LOVE to have our puppy families come for a visit when the puppies are a couple of weeks old and are getting active. The more, the merrier!) All records and information will be provided to you in a binder at the time that you pick up your puppy as well as a bag of food and various other goodies, affectionately known as the "swag bag."
Not only will you get a well-adjusted PWD family member, you will also get lifetime breeder support. We are here to provide encouragement, suggestions, and our words of wisdom as questions arise. We provide information on food, training, puppy proofing, and necessary materials before your puppy comes home. Throughout your dog's life, we are only a phone call or email away for whatever you may need.
It is our policy to provide copies of health certifications, links and/or referrals to training articles (e.g., puppy proofing your home, etc.), contract, pedigree, feeding and vet instructions, etc., before you pick up your puppy. As a general rule, we try to send weekly "pupdates" via email to potential buyers (a "pupdate" is a progress report and pictures). It’s fun for us to share the delights (and occasional misadventures) of puppyhood with potential new families!
Puppies are $3500 with a $500 non-refundable deposit required once the pregnancy has been confirmed (the remaining $3000 is due at the time of pickup). Deposits will be refunded if the dog does not have puppies or we ultimately decide not to place a puppy in your home. Deposits WILL NOT be refunded if you change your mind. We generally only have one to two litters per year. If we have accepted your deposit for a puppy, then that means we have turned away other wonderful families that had hoped to have one of our puppies. Therefore, deposits will not be refunded except in the circumstances already outlined or based on Christie's discretion.
**All puppies are sold on a contract agreement (varying based on show or companion homes). This contract will be provided well in advance of you receiving your puppy for your review. Puppies going to companion homes are sold on a strict spay/neuter contract ONLY. Show prospects are sold on co-ownership only.
If you're interested in being considered as a forever home for one of our puppies, then please complete our Puppy Interest Questionnaire. Christie will review your information and be in contact via email initially.
