• WE ARE CURRENTLY BEING RAVAGED BY FOREST FIRES IN OUR AREA & ALL AROUND US. OUR HOME IS NOT IN DANGER, BUT OUR FAMILY'S PROPERTY IN SEELEY LAKE WHERE ONE OF OUR SONS LIVES FULL TIME IS UNDER EVACUATION WARNING.  WE ARE TRAVELING THE 100 MILES BACK & FORTH AND TRYING TO DO OUR REGULAR RANCH WORK AND OTHER JOBS. WE WILL BEND OVER BACKWARDS AS USUAL IF YOU ARE COMING TO GET  OR TO FLY OUT ONE OF OUR CURRENT PUPPIES READY TO GO NOW. (TWO GIANT SCHNOODLE AND TWO MINIATURE SCHNAUZER PUPPIES). PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE TO OUR FAMILY & DON'T ASK FOR A VISIT IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO GO HOME WITH ONE OF OUR CURRENT BABIES. PLEASE READ OVER AND OBSERVE OUR VISIT POLICY.
  

• FAMILY MEMBERS AND RANCH HANDS TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING AT THE RANCH WHEN WE ARE BUSY WITH SUMMER ACTIVITIES, BUT THEY DON'T DEAL WITH OUR CUSTOMERS. WE ARE BUSY WITH CROPS AND BACK & FORTH FROM OUR FAMILY LAKE HOUSE UNTIL AFTER LABOR DAY, BUT WILL STILL BE MAKING TIMES FOR PUPPY PICK-UPS & FLIGHTS WITH THE SIX PUPPIES WE CURRENTLY HAVE AVAILABLE.

  OUR MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT COMING TO OUR HOME OR TO VISIT OUR PUPPY BABIES IS TO:

PUPPY PIVK-UPS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, AT LEAST 48 HOUR ADVANCE NOTICE WHEN WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS SO WE CAN ARRANGE TO BE AT THE HOUSE IF WE DON'T HAVE PREVIOUS PLANS.  APPOINTMENTS WILL BE MADE WEEK-DAYS BETWEEN 1 PM AND 3 PM AS MORNINGS ARE CHORE TIME AND EVENINGS WE ARE BUSY WITH THE KIDS, UNLESS SPECIAL ADVANCE ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. THIS IS NECESSARY AS WE WORK AWAY FROM THE RANCH AND WEEK-ENDS WE ARE BUSY WITH FAMILY ACTIVITES  AND SHORT HANDED.  

WE ARE NOT A KENNEL WITH OPEN KENNEL HOURS!  THIS IS OUR HOBBY AT OUR HOME, SO HAVE TO WORK VISITS AROUND OUR WORK SCHEDULES, RANCH AND FAMILY SCHEDULES. Please don't come more than 5 minutes early as we are busy up to appointment time and sometimes out on the ranch and not at the house until scheduled times. If you are more than 15 minutes late and haven't called, we'll be on to something else.

WE DO NOT SCHEDULE WEEK-END pick-upS AT ALL DUE TO OUR BUSY SCHEDULES. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!! PLEASE ARRANGE YOUR SCHEDULE AROUND OUR POLICY!  please do not ask AS WE DON'T LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE NO! 

WE CAN'T ARRANGE PICK-UP TIMES before 11 am any day. this is our chore time WHICH IS THE BUSIEST PART OF OUR DAY and we cannot break away before then. no exceptions!!
please leave your current pets at home or in your vehicle. We keep a closed campus as it is a danger to expose our puppies to outside germs or viruses brought onto our property (your dog may bring something in on it's feet from the rest area etc. that you were just at before coming here). Your dog can bring something in, even if it's not sick or if it's current on all vaccinations.
