Katie and Joe DiPietro

Thank-you so much for your interest in our sweet puppies!

We take great care and pride in our breeding program, the health of our puppies and their socialization as they develop.

Along with these important factors, we also spend countless hours in observation of each individual puppy to help determine which one will thrive in what home.

Our allocation process is a two-fold system. We ask for and welcome input from potential puppy families and ask each family to give us their top 3-5 choices in the litter, once they reach the age of 6-7 weeks. At 6 weeks of age, we hold a Virtual Open House designed exclusively for our new puppy families. This will allow you to virtually meet the litter from which you are purchasing a puppy. After viewing each puppy, we ask each family to give us their preferences from 1 to however many puppies are in the litter. 

As the puppies approach the 8 week age, we also will do our very best to give you an idea of who may or may not be available, based on needs & order of deposit receipt of other applicants.

At 8 weeks of age, the puppies are evaluated by a professional. Once that is complete, we begin the allocation process. We take the information from each family and make the placements based on what they are asking for along with the observations we have made as we carefully watch each puppy mature, interacting amongst themselves as well as with the people they come in contact with. Although we do place puppies based on the order of deposits received, we also will only place a puppy in your home if it is a good fit. We ask families to be open minded when it comes to the many varied specifics such as gender and color. The more open minded you are in the allocation process, the more likely we will be to place a puppy in your home as soon as possible.

This is a process we have been doing for years now. We have yet to have a family that is anything but thrilled and appreciative of the perfect placement of their new puppy.

We hope this answers all of your questions about our allocation process.

We will look forward to hearing from you.
