Helpful Information - please read these frequently asked questions before submitting you query
Do you have any puppies?
Puppies for sale tab the most up to date information. We sell exclusively via Wait List, so no, we do not typically have pups for sale to the public.
We are a boutique breeder with primary focus on sweet cavalier personality. We only have a handful of litters each year, our puppies are available to only the best of homes.
Please complete the questionnaire/application and we will contact you to approve you joining the Wait List.
How much do you charge? When do I pay?
​
We are not able to or interested in competing with commercial breeders or puppy mills on price point. We have a lot more to offer than the lowest upfront cost.
​We are happy to let applicants know the price of the last or current litter but this is not a quote or commitment to future prices.
Our focus on raising healthy, well adjusted and enjoyable companions for many years to come, means that our puppies are simply the best that money can buy and are priced accordingly, at the higher level of the market.
​
Please do your research on puppy prices and ongoing costs associated with care for your new fur baby.
Final prices are set after the pups are born and are advised to the buyers typically within 5-10 days.
A non-refundable Acceptance Deposit of 30% is due soon after.
Payment of the deposit locks your price, otherwise prices are subject to change without notice.
The balance of the cost will be due in week 8 of puppies life and must be confirmed as cleared funds in our bank account before you will be able to collect your puppy.
What is the process?
Before starting the process please fill in the questionnaire it also serves as an application for our superior puppy. We are selective about the new families and will not sell our dogs to homes we feel would not be perfectly suited.
We offer puppies to the people on our Waiting List in order as joined, taking into consideration your preferences to the best of availability.
When you accept the puppy a 30% non-refundable commitment deposit is payable.
Should a sale fail or if for any reason there are pups still available, we will offer puppies to people that have filled in the Questionnaire and who were approved as a suitable home for one of our pups. For instance people who might have missed out previously or who are looking to purchase another pup from us.
Waiting List. How to join? Am I locked in?
We charge a set fee to join our Waiting List and when you purchase a puppy from us we issue an equal value discount.
Please speak to us to discuss the expected wait time for your preferred colour pup.
This fee is non-refundable for change of mind or circumstances. Some buyers choose to join multiple lists, it is your personal decision.
In the event where we are not able to offer you a puppy within an agreed time, as documented in writing time, we will offer you a refund.
We have never had this happen yet, but if you pass on puppies 3 times you will loose your waiting list spot and the fee.
So I'm on your waiting list. Do I have to accept the first puppy offered?
No, you can choose to reject the offer. Life can be fickle, you might be moving, having family situations or other reasons why you are not in a position to take the pup when it is ready to go home. You might not like the colour, markings or gender of the puppy. We might be able to offer another pup from the same litter or we might not.Whatever situation is, you can choose to pass and wait for the next litter.We have never had that happen yet, but if we offer you a puppy as per your specifications and you pass on 3 puppies you may loose your waiting list spot.
