Rosehall German Shepherds’ Puppy Picks
After phone, email and / or text communication, many of the families interested in buying our puppies come to our farm to meet us and see our facility, along with the parent dogs, to help them make their final decision to get their puppy from us.
We strongly encourage you to do this. Once we receive your deposit and the signed information sheets, you will be placed on the ‘pick list’ of the litter you have chosen for either a male or female puppy.
The pick for which you are listed is determined by the order in which we receive deposits. Prompt payment of your deposit gives you the pick that we have discussed in our communications.
Once the puppies are born, we will begin posting photos of the litter on our website. When the puppies reach about four weeks of age, we begin posting individual pictures of each puppy. Our pups are identified by a different color collar, which is shown in most of their pictures.
Temperament Testing
When the puppies are six weeks old or a little older, we test them for temperament. The results of that test will be summarized in a written description that will be emailed to the buyer and may be posted with the puppies’ individual pictures soon after.
Families with first picks must choose their puppies within 48 hours of the temperament tests being emailed or posted. Successive picks must be chosen within 24-hour windows for their consideration.
If picks are not made in a timely manner, you will be passed over for the next in line. The buyer is responsible for picking up his or her puppy from the farm in a timely manner. If a puppy buyer fails to contact us to make pick-up arrangements by the end of the eighth week after birth, we reserve the right to make the puppy available for sale to another family.
The first buyer will be considered, and you will forfeit your deposit. You must make the decision to pass on buying a puppy from a reserved litter no later than the time of your pick. If you pass, you can choose from a future litter and not forfeit your deposit. You do not have to pick which litter to move to at that time.
