Reserving a Puppy

1. The Application is required (each time you get a pup from us).
2. We will get OwyheeStar application reply to you ASAP. 
3. At the bottom of the reply, you find more information.
4. Once approved--a Wait List Deposit is required to secure a place on the list.
5. Waiting List Deposits $ 100 
6. The typical wait is between 4 and 6 months for a potential pup to be born.
7. The full puppy deposit is required once a potential pup (fitting your criteria) is born. Puppy deposits range from $ 150 to $ 800 depending upon the situation.

  • Traditional Smooth Coat Pup with the Breed Standard Docked Tail  $150
  • Longhair pups $ 250
  • Non-docked Traditional Smooth Coat $ 750 (1/2 the total cost)
The precise pup within the specific litter will most likely be unknown. The exact pup will be determined by the Discovery and Placement Test (which happens on or shortly after the) six-week birthday. Nevertheless, puppy deposit is required when OwyheeStar believes there is a potential pup born for you within a particular litter.



Deposit Details

1. You must follow up the application reply with a deposit to be added to the Wait List.
2. The deposit applies toward the total cost of the puppy.
4. No part of a deposit is refundable. 
5. Deposits will be applied to a future OwyheeStar pup in the event there is a crisis or other situation that prevents you from getting the current pup. 
6. In the unlikely event that a pup doesn't pass the wellness exam or fails to thrive, your status would be upgraded. As possible, you would be moved to a priority placement due to lost opportunity. You would get a pup as soon as it is possible to get another pup meeting your criteria. You would have the option to adjust your criteria (changed the sex or coat color) to expedite the process. 
7. When we receive your deposit--you will receive a Bill of Sale which reflects the cost of the pup as well as all payments. If there are additional charges for any reason, they will be listed on this invoice.

Beyond the Deposit

The balance due after your initial puppy deposit must be paid prior to or at the pup's departure. 

​There are several options for getting OwyheeStar paid. Please check out that information to the right under the heading--Paying OwyheeStar. Remember, if you wish to use a personal check they need it two weeks in advance of the pup's departure. Some people like to send partial payments from time to time, and that is perfectly acceptable.
