The Acari House and its team are passionate animal lovers! Our top priority is ensuring the health and well-being of all our puppies.
Certainly, we acknowledge a potential bias, yet we confidently assert that our breeding and training program ranks among the nation's finest. While there are times when we have multiple litters concurrently, rest assured, we operate far from resembling a puppy mill. Transparency remains a cornerstone of our ethos, even during challenging times.
Each member of our dedicated team invests their utmost care and dedication into nurturing our puppies, a commitment that resonates through the delightful personalities of each of our cherished pups.
We warmly invite you to learn more about what sets us apart.
STEP #1 - FILL OUT AN APPLICATION!
Let us know your specific needs, a timeframe, and the details on what type of puppy you're looking for!
STEP #2 - GET APPROVED!
We'll take a look over your application, and send you a prompt email back or give you a call! We will help suggest the right breed and gender for you!
STEP #3 - PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT!
Our deposits are $500, non-refundable, and will hold your space in our deposit list! If you are opting for a puppy without required ear docking, your deposit will be $1000.
STEP #4 - MONTHLY UPDATES!
At the beginning of every month, we will email you and let you know what's going on at The Acari House as far as females in heat, pregnant, or that have puppies! We also update our website regularly with the most current info on our upcoming litters and their progress. **Note** -- remember to omit our email address from your email's spam filter!
STEP #5 - PUPPIES ARE BORN!
Within the first week of a litter being born, we will email our deposit list and let you know that we have a brand new litter! This email will include pertinent details of the litter including colors and genders. You will have 3 days from the time the email is sent to let us know if you would like to join the litter list. When we get all of the responses from those on the deposit list, we will go down the list and select the people who will actually get a puppy from the litter based on their preferences and deposit order during week 7 and notify you via email with a personal video.
STEP #6 - WEEKLY PUPDATES!
Each weekend you can check into our litter development page (linked in the litter announcement email) for new photos and a week by week summary. They're also chock full of good information for your new life as a puppy owner - not to mention loads of cute photos of the puppies from the past week!
STEP #7 - PAYMENTS DUE!
When the puppies are 12 weeks old, payments are due in full! With your $500 original deposit, the total cost of your puppy is $2000 for males and $2500 for females. Breeding Rights can be purchased for an additional fee of $500 per male & $1000 per female. In compliance with the Department of Agriculture, there is a 13% sales tax applied to your final invoice.
STEP #8 - GOTCHA DAY!
When your puppy is 14 weeks old, they can come home and officially join your family! You will be sent a checklist of items to ensure you have completed prior to your puppy departing our facility. Let the real fun begin!
WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND A LITTER I'M INTERESTED IN DOESN'T TAKE OR DOES NOT SURVIVE?
There are some times where a female does not get pregnant, or there are complications with the pregnancy that cause the puppies not to survive. Of course we do everything we can to prevent these situations from happening, but sometimes there is nothing we can do and nature takes its course. In these situations, depositors can wait for the next available litter.
