Pricing & Process

Please familiarize yourself with this process before reaching out about any Available Puppies. Thank yoU!

Our puppy purchasing process changes every few years to reflect changes in the market and changes with buyer preferences. We also make changes to our process that we feel are necessary in order to protect our puppies and set them up for absolute success. Any information that you read on this page is current, however, if you have purchased a puppy from us in the past please understand that our process may have changed.​

​​

🐶 Choose a Breed: The first step to purchasing your very own Rebecca Creek Retriever is to decide which breed is right for you. Visit our breeds page to learn more about the different types of dogs we produce.

​

📝 Puppy Application: Once you've decided on which breed is right for you, it's time to complete our Puppy Application. There will be an application fee of $50 due before your application will be reviewed. Once your application is reviewed & approved, you will have the opportunity to place a deposit on either an available puppy or reserve a spot on our waitlist. We keep a master waitlist and do not separate lists by breed. Families on our waitlist receive first priority in reserving puppies from new litters.

 

💸 Non-Refundable Deposits: Deposits are non-refundable but transferable to future puppies or litters and do not expire. If you have placed a deposit on an Available Puppy, you will be allowed to come and meet the puppy prior to paying your balance and bringing the puppy home. If you have placed a deposit to reserve a spot on our waitlist, you will be contacted when it's your turn to reserve a pick spot for a new litter.

​

⏰ Puppy Wait Times: It is almost impossible for us to predict wait times for those that choose to get on a waitlist. Our breeding plans change often because we are dealing with mother nature. While we encourage anyone who wants priority in choosing a puppy from a new litter to get on a waitlist, we want to be clear that we do not attempt to predict wait times or make guarantees regarding whether or not a planned breeding will take place.

​

🎉 Choosing a Puppy: (applies to those on a waitlist) When we have a new litter, we will begin scheduling meet & greet appointments for those interested in choosing a puppy from that litter. These appointments will be made in order of the waitlist. Meet & greet appointments will occur when puppies are approximately 6 weeks old. These appointments last one hour per family, and each family gets a private appointment. We record our Puppy Snapshots in between meet & greets and virtual puppy picks. Puppies will be then be chosen virtually via video calls at approximately 7 weeks. Picks up appointments will then be scheduled, as all paperwork is completed and balances are paid prior to take-home day at 8 weeks!

​

🚙 Boarding: Have a trip planned that may interfere with you bringing home your puppy when you would like to? We offer puppy-safe boarding right here at Rebecca Creek Retrievers. You can also include training in your puppy's stay (see below).

The Virtual Home Manners (VHM) is a convenient solution for training your new puppy or adult dog at home. VHM offers two levels: Virtual Home Manners Puppy (VHMP) and Virtual Home Manners Adult (VHMA), with successful completion leading to awarded titles.

​

The program assesses your dog's ability to perform ten essential home manners skills through video evaluation by CGC Evaluators, all without the need for in-person testing. These skills focus on owner control, walking the dog, and bonding through playtime. To begin, check out our "How to Train" VHM training videos.

​

Virtual Home Manners is a great starting point before advancing to AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) in-person training. The ten skills tested include petting, grooming, sitting and lying down on command, coming when called, staying in a designated place, being house-trained, demonstrating a healthy relationship, playing indoors, walking on a leash, and engaging in outdoor exercise.

​

Upon completion of the Virtual Home Manners Puppy (VHMP) title, the puppy will have mastered the following skills:

​

  • Being comfortable with petting by the owner on the head, chin, shoulders, and back.

  • Accepting grooming, specifically brushing by the owner on the back and chest.

  • Responding to the "Sit" command, with or without a lure.

  • Responding to the "Down" command, with or without a lure.

  • Coming when called from a distance of 10 feet within the house.

  • Going to a designated place and staying there for 15 seconds.

  • Being house-trained, with the owner attesting to and describing their training process.

  • Demonstrating a healthy relationship and engaging in play activities indoors with a family member or the owner, such as fetching a stuffed animal, playing with a ball, performing a simple trick, or participating in a preferred game.

  • Walking on a leash outdoors in a straight line for 20 feet.

  • Participating in outdoor exercise with a family member or owner, including activities such as fetching a toy, chasing, swimming, or running with the owner.
