Application Process

Our puppy application process is designed to ensure that you get the right puppy for your home environment. If you have any questions before applying, please dont hesitate to ask.  Im happy to chat and answer any questions  you may have. Texting is great 231-392-5761, and so is email carolyn@oldmissionretrievers.com

​

Deposits are taken on confirmed litters and are refundable by either party for any reason until the puppies are 5 weeks of age. A paid deposit holds your place on the reservation list.  The balance  will be due prior to taking your puppy home at 8- 10 weeks. Puppy prices vary and will be listed with specific litter info.

​

Visits are encouraged once the puppies reach 4 weeks of age. 

​

Puppies are allocated between 6 and 8 weeks based on temperament and other factors. The higher you are on the reservation list the more likely we are to have a puppy for you of the coat type and sex you prefer. Puppy picks are a collaborative effort between the breeder and families, with the goal of matching every puppy to the best home, and allowing every family to have their preferences met. 

 

*Families who wish to commit to completing therapy dog certification through an approved organization are eligible for a $250 credit at the time of completion. ( puppy must be at least 15 months old prior to testing) 

 

Once you submit an application, we will contact you with next steps, which include a phone call to ensure that we are a good match for your needs.
