Adoption Fee Guidelines

Each our puppy goes through the same training and socialization program and each is given our outmost care. Therefore each puppy has the same adoption fee regardless of sex, or purpose he/she will be serving in his/her new home.  However, we understand that for some people it matters that they pick their puppy first more than for others and sometimes those people get on our waiting list too late to have that first pick. Based on our previous experience with the puppy buyers we decided to offer a first pick right for two puppies (after the breeder’s pick) out of each litter for an additional fee to the right homes.  The rest of the puppies will be picked based on the order in the waiting list.

All puppies are initially sold with Limited AKC Registration. Puppies that are sold as companions and pets only cannot be bred and must be spayed, or neutered before 12 months old. All Victorious puppies are required to have health clearances performed on hips and elbows regardless of whether they are sold as a show, performance, or companion dogs. As a breeder, I feel strongly that I need to know what I'm producing in all my puppies. Every puppy that is produced by my dogs is equally important to me in the evaluation of my breeding program. Therefore I will refund 50% of the cost of the OFA tests (hips and elbows), except for the cost of anesthesia.     

We offer our most promising pups with best conformation and outmost talent for performance  only to people who are serious about breeding and training and will dedicate time to work towards their titles in performance and/or conformation. Most promising puppies are offered on co-ownership contract for the same price as other pups plus one ‘First Pick’ puppy back from the first litter for a female puppy (we have to approve the male for the first breeding), or two (2) free stud services that will produce live pups for a male puppy.  If preliminary OFA x-rays have been done prior to a pup leaving our home half of the cost of these tests will be an additional charge. Occasionally we offer a full ownership with 100% breeding rights to the people we trust. The cost of the health tests on pups sold with AKC Full registration is a full responsibility of the pup’ new owners.  At this point we are interested in offering the most promising  male-pups free of charge on a life-time co-ownership agreement to the right homes. We would like to have our best Victorious males available to us to use in our breeding program. Please inquire us about this opportunity.

Reservation deposits are applied toward the puppy's purchase price. We accept reservation deposits of $200 as soon as the puppies are born.  Please understand that all deposits are NONE REFUNDABLE because as soon as we get you deposit we list a pup as reserved and no longer available for other prospective buyers. Each deposit might be transferred to the next litter. Deposit payment by PayPal, cash, Money Order, bank wire transfer is preferable.    

The costs of crate, insurance during shipment, and cost of freight charges as well a health certificate is an additional cost payable prior to shipping of our puppy. Shipping in the U.S. for an 7-8 week old puppy (weighing 10-18 lb)  is approximately $230 plus $65 for the Medium sized crate and $60 for the Health Certificate for travel.    

We highly recommend coming and getting your pup in person. This will also allow you to meet us, see the dam and the environment your pups grew for eight, or more weeks. This would also allow us to spend time with you and explain a training program we started your puppy in and provide some guidelines for further training and socializing that puppy will require to grow up into a well-rounded dog, which you and people around you will enjoy.

We encourage all our puppy owners to have a relationship with us for the life of the dog. We are here to guide, help and offer an advise for our puppies owners. We want to know what all the puppies look like, how they move, and what their health and personality is like.  At a minimum, we require pictures and updates on a yearly basis. Of course, we would love to receive more frequent updates!
