PUPPY INFORMATION

Please understand that when we breed a litter we are breeding for ourselves to further our breeding program and pedigree.
We do not just breed to make puppies we are breeding in hopes that we can create what we want to move forward with our breeding program.
After we have chosen our keeper puppy or puppies then the other puppies will be available to approved homes.

Our puppies are raised with tender love and care. They are raised inside of our home
with our human, Dane and Chihuahua family.
We do our best to breed healthy and happy puppies that make wonderful Champions,
Therapy dogs, Service Dogs, Performance dogs as well as wonderful quality companions.
All of the below goes into making a Colra Dane.

HEALTH
We do our very best to make sure all dogs/bitches that we breed or breed to are healthy and have EXCELLENT temperaments.
We health test our dogs that we breed and the dogs that we breed to are also health tested.
Please understand that health testing isn't a guarantee that a dog will be 100% healthy and never develop a health problem/issue.
it's a tool not a guarantee. Many things factor into good health other than genetics such as environment, exercise, food
Please remember these are living, breathing animals so nothing is 100% and we are NOT God

SOCIALIZATION
We make sure that we spend one on one time with each one of the puppies.
Puppies are socialized with our other Danes, my Chihuahuas, adults and if possible children.
The puppies go for car rides so we know who likes to ride and who may not.
All puppies are stacked and gone over at least 2 times daily.
Puppies are exposed to a variety of noises, textures, toys and smells.
We have NEVER had any complaints about ANY of our puppies temperaments.
(Please see our Temperament page)

PLACEMENT AGE
NO puppies leave before 8 weeks of age.
We do 2 evaluations of the puppies. One at 5 weeks and then another at 8 weeks.
At one of the evaluation there are either Judges, Professional Handlers or Champion Breeders involved to give their opinions as well.
We may hold on to a couple of the top show prospects until 12 weeks if we feel it's necessary before making our choice/s.
Once we have made our choices then the other puppies will be available to approved homes

We require a $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit.
If a puppy is not available the deposit can be transferred to another litter.
If Buyer decides they don't want a puppy NO refund will be granted
We only accept deposits from approved homes once the puppies are born
Puppies are not placed on a first come first serve basis. We choose who gets puppies
and on which order. We expect you to keep in contact with us during the puppy screening process,
during pregnancy and once puppies are born. Please do not expect to adopt a puppy just because you filled ou
t an application 5 months ago and haven't kept in contact with us. If you don't keep in contact with us before
you even have a puppy then chances are not good that you will remain in contact with us in the future.

AKC REGISTERED NAMES
ALL puppies will carry our Kennel name COLRA and you must have approval to add your kennel name on to the puppy.
For show prospects we normally we have themes. Sometimes we will have a list for you to choose from.
We try to encourage people to name their puppy something that goes with their registered names
However it isn't a requirement and puppy buyers are free to pick any "call name" for their puppy.

SHIPPING
We prefer NOT ship puppies.
We like to meet all of our perspective puppy owners and would assume that you would want to meet us as well,
see the Dam and possibly the sire along with any litter mates or other family members.
If this is not an option due to location we can ship puppies weather permitting of course.
NO PUPPIES CAN BE SHIPPED FROM MAY TO SEPTEMBER DUE TO THE HEAT EMBARGO BY THE AIRLINES.
Buyer is responsible for ALL shipping costs, the crate, the health certificate from the Vet and any other fees

Flight $300 to $600

If I am taking multiple puppies the $200 fee will be split between puppy buyers.

All puppies remain natural eared. If you would like your puppy cropped we can have the puppy cropped at an additional cost.
Please note cropping ranges from $800 to $1200 depending on where we are able to have the puppy cropped.
We can also recommend Vets who crop in new owners area.
New owners must understand the HUGE responsibly of taking care of cropped ears
