Policies

They maintain a waiting list for puppies and ask prospective clients to do their due diligence and commit to being on only their list to help with forecasting. Deposits are not required to join the waiting list but are taken once puppies are whelped and assigned. Puppies come with breeding restrictions to prevent backyard breeding of untested and un-X-rayed dogs. However, these restrictions can be lifted if the dog meets their breeding requirements for testing and X-rays, with only NAVHDA’s charge for paperwork. They provide a warranty against genetic health defects for their puppies.

They have specific policies regarding waiting lists, deposits for puppies once whelped and assigned, and shipping. Puppies come with breeding restrictions to prevent irresponsible breeding, but these can be lifted if the dog meets their testing and X-ray requirements, with only NAVHDA’s paperwork charge.
