The Complete Process

Every family is different, and we treat it that way. Here's exactly how we work — transparent, personal, and built around doing right by every puppy and every home. Two paths in, same destination: a BCK puppy in your life.

Available Now
Puppy Ready to Come Home

We have a puppy available right now — vaccinated, vet-checked, and ready. Browse, apply, meet, reserve, and bring them home. The fastest path to your new family member.

Upcoming Litter
Reserve Before They're Born

When a litter is forming, a non-refundable deposit secures your pick position — first in, first pick on selection day. Spots are limited and fill on a first-come basis.

Path A

01
🔍
Browse & Connect

Every puppy on our site has photos, a personality profile, and full health background — so you can get a real sense of who feels right before making any commitment. Take your time with it.

Memphis families: Schedule a free in-person visit at our home — Tuesday through Sunday by appointment. Meet the puppies, see where they were raised, spend time with the parents.

Out-of-town families: Live video calls available 7 days a week via FaceTime or Google Meet. See the puppies in real time and meet us face to face from anywhere in the country.

No commitment required at this stage. We want you completely confident before taking any next step.

02
📋
Apply

We ask every family to complete our short puppy application before we move forward. This isn't a hurdle — it's how we make sure every BCK puppy goes to the right home, and how we get to know you before we speak.

It covers your household, living situation, experience with dogs, and what you're hoping for in a puppy. Takes about five minutes. We review it and come into the conversation prepared — so our Q&A is specific to you, not generic.

💬
Breeder Q&A

Before anything is reserved, we sit down together — in person or by phone — for a real conversation. You bring your questions, we bring ours.

We'll talk through each puppy's personality, energy, and temperament and match that to your household and lifestyle. Ask us anything about the parents, the breeding program, how the pups were raised, what to expect in the first weeks. No question is too small.

Memphis families: This happens naturally during your in-person visit — the conversation flows from what you're seeing right in front of you.

Out-of-town families: We do this by phone or video after reviewing your application. Usually 20–30 minutes — completely unhurried.

04
✍️
Reserve & Sign

Once we've both agreed it's the right fit, we make it official. Your reservation fee secures your puppy — from that moment, they're yours.

Memphis families: Sign the Puppy Sales Contract together in person at our home. Your $500 reservation fee secures your puppy and is applied toward the purchase price. Remaining balance due at pickup.

Out-of-town families: Your $500 reservation fee secures your puppy. Your Puppy Sales Contract is sent digitally within 24 hours — sign electronically, and we confirm everything in writing. Remaining balance due at delivery.

The contract covers the bill of sale, our 2-year health guarantee, spay/neuter terms, and our return policy. We walk through every section before anything is signed.

🏠
Welcome Home

Memphis pickup or personal delivery — either way, your puppy arrives with everything they need and you leave knowing exactly what comes next.

Every BCK puppy comes with a vet health certificate, full vaccination and deworming records, their 2-year health guarantee, a signed contract, crate, bowl, starter food, favorite toy, and momma's scent blanket. We also walk you through their current routine so you don't go home guessing.

After that — we're a call away. Questions about food, training, behavior, health — text, email, or call. We stay in touch with our families.

Path B

01
📝
Apply & Reserve Your Spot

Complete the waitlist application and submit your $200 non-refundable deposit. Your pick position is confirmed the moment your deposit clears — first deposit in, first pick on selection day. No exceptions.

Note your gender preference on the form. We honor preferences based on availability at your pick position — the earlier your spot, the better your odds.

📸
Watch Your Puppy Grow Up

From the moment the litter arrives, you're on the inside. We send weekly photos and video updates directly to waitlist families — watching your puppy open their eyes, take their first steps, and discover the world before they even come home to you.

You'll also have our direct line. Questions about temperament, coat development, how the litter is looking — real answers from the people raising them.

Check our Available Puppies page for current litter details and expected dates.

03
🐾
Choose Your Puppy — Week 5 to 6

When the puppies are 5–6 weeks old, we contact waitlist families in pick-order. You choose your puppy from those available — in person at our Memphis home or via FaceTime video call from anywhere in the country.

By this point you'll have had weeks of photos and updates. You'll already know which one is yours before we even make the call.

At selection, you sign the Puppy Sales Agreement and pay the $200 selection fee — applied toward your total purchase price. From this moment, your specific puppy is secured and reserved for your family only.

04
🏠
Home at 8 Weeks

The remaining balance is due at pickup or prior to delivery. Your puppy is ready to come home at 8 weeks old — fully vaccinated, vet-checked, crate introduced, and carrying momma's scent blanket for their first nights.

Memphis pickup or personal in-cabin delivery anywhere in the USA. Your puppy travels in our arms — not in cargo, not with a stranger. Always.

Go-home timing varies by litter. Exact dates are confirmed when the litter arrives and we have a clear read on the pups.
