We'd love to hear from you! If you would like to receive more details about our puppies, please complete our application below. The demand often exceeds the number of puppies we have available. We want our puppies to go to the best of homes! We like to get to know the goals and lifestyle of each potential family. This information helps us start the dialog to ensure that each of our puppies are matched with the right family. The more detailed information you provide, the more accurately we can assess if we have a good match. Thanks for taking the time to complete the information below!  

Completing the application below does not automatically add you to our reservation list. We do reserve the right to reject an application or void a reservation at any time if we feel any family is not a good fit for our puppies. The health, safety, and care of our puppies is our top priority at all times. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, age, ancestry, disability, gender, or sexual orientation. Our puppies live with a variety of families and lifestyles. If you have difficulty completing the form below, feel free to cut and paste it into an email instead. You can reach Evelyn directly at comer978@comcast dot net. We will get back to you as soon as we can. Note that our initial email will contain lots of details and photos which sometimes is caught in spam filters. We also have a busy dog show schedule plus full time jobs which sometimes cause a delay in responding to applications. Please reach out again if you do not receive a response within a couple weeks as sometimes we experience technological problems. Please no unsolicited spam messages.
