Things you should know before applying

- You do not get to pick your puppy, we chose all puppy placements, however, you can of course refuse any puppy offered and wait for a later litter

-New puppy homes are NOT CHOSEN until puppies are between 8-10 weeks of age! This means I will not be able to tell you who is spoken for and who is not before this point, and in some cases, I may not even know until this time if I have something that is suitable to you at all. I understand it’s hard to wait and not know, but it’s to ensure that the best possible matches are made for both the puppy and the family.

- I do not require deposits, I do require that puppy purchase price is paid at the time of pickup or prior to departure for those flying out of state

- All puppies must come back if no longer wanted for any reason, and at any point in their life. 

- You will be required to sign a contract when purchasing a Kessel Run puppy. This protects BOTH of us and the puppy.

- At this time I do not sell dogs as service dog prospects. The breed as a whole is really not suitable, though a few individuals might be able to succeed in this area, I’m are not comfortable with the odds being so heavily against them when there are many other far more suitable breeds available.
