All Ausdauer puppies are raised in our home with Puppy Culture, Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), and Early Scent Introduction (ESI). They are handled daily, exposed to new sights, sounds, people, and environments, and go home well started in crate and potty training.

A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a puppy once a litter is confirmed. Deposits can be made via CashApp, Apple Pay, Chime, or Cashier's Check. The remaining balance is due at pickup.

Puppies are matched to their homes after temperament and structural evaluations around 8 weeks old. We prioritize placing each puppy based on temperament and suitability for the home, while considering color and/or sex preferences when possible.

Because we breed first and foremost for our own program, we reserve the right to retain any puppy that best represents our goals moving forward.

All puppies are placed with a signed contract. All puppies are registered or able to be registered with AKC and ASCA. Most are sold on limited registration with a spay/neuter agreement, including performance homes. Occasionally, a show/performance prospect may be available on a co-own agreement only.

Puppies must be picked up in person. We do not ship via cargo. Families may fly in and take their puppy home in-cabin or arrange a reputable flight nanny at their own expense.

The closest major airport is St. Louis Lambert International (STL). If a health certificate is required for transport, a $100 fee will be added before the vet visit is scheduled.

Per the signed contract, any Ausdauer dog must be returned to us if ever unable to be kept. This ensures the lifelong safety and wellbeing of every dog we produce.
