Thank you for your interest in purchasing one of our puppies.

Matching:

To help us thoughtfully pair each family with the puppy that best fits their goals, lifestyle, and expectations, we ask that you complete the application below and submit it once finished. This information allows us to make informed placement decisions based on puppy temperament and household fit.

Please note that we reserve the right to decline a sale if, after discussion, we feel that none of our current or upcoming puppies would be an appropriate match. 

Applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received. Once both the application and contract are submitted, a $600.00 deposit is required to hold your position on the waitlist. Deposits are non-refundable but may be transferred to another list. If at any point we determine that a suitable placement is not available, your deposit will be refunded in full.

Important Clarification
Applications are not for general inquiries. They are intended for families who are ready to join our waitlist and move forward with a contract and deposit.
If you are not prepared to proceed at this time, please reach out with questions regarding pricing, timing, or lists before submitting this form.

 

We strongly prefer to initially connect with families by phone, as this allows us to answer questions efficiently and determine whether moving forward is a good fit for everyone. If you have questions about pricing, timing, or availability—or are unsure whether you are ready to join the waitlist—don't hesitate to get in touch with us to schedule a phone conversation before submitting this form.

 
Placement Statement 
This application is used solely to help us match each puppy with the most suitable home.
It is not a test, screening, or judgment of worth, and there are no “right” or “wrong” answers.
Our goal is appropriate placement—not approval or denial.

To Join a Waitlist, You Must:
Submit this application along with the deposit 
Complete our contract (link provided after submission)

  

This is where we find out a little more about the puppy's new home and family. Please remember in most cases there is no "right" or "wrong" answer. This is just a way to get to know you! 

Breeding Restrictions: Not all dogs should be bred, as breeders, we understand this. There are risks involved when breeding dogs, including the health and death of the female and her litter. Therefore, Nosam Kennels has chosen to limit the registration of their puppies to educate Puppy Buyers as well as protect and maintain the integrity of the breeds. The decision will be made together whether the dog in question should be bred. Ultimately, we hold our Puppy Buyers to the same standards we hold ourselves when determining if a dog should be bred and that it would be an improvement to the breed.

Therefore, all puppies will be sold on limited NAVHDA or AKC registration and breeding rights will only be released when a signed contract is met. All dogs will be required to be spayed & neutered if they have not met the requirements for full AKC.

Pet puppies on Limited AKC can still fully participate in sports like dock diving, agility, Hunt tests and other performance events—so Limited registration doesn’t hold you back there. However, conformation showing isn’t allowed on Limited AKC which is what we sell all puppies with. 

If you wish to show your puppy in AKC conformation, you’ll need FULL AKC registration, which requires a different contract. Our standard contract is for Limited AKC and doesn't allow for conformation or breeding. This contract includes a commitment to earn an AKC Championship title with the dog and Co-ownership with Nosam Kennels.

Please tell us a little about where puppy will live as a puppy (we know circumstances change).

 

 

DEPOSITS:

 Please note that deposits will not be returned if a puppy is not available for the sex/color Puppy Buyer has requested. However, the deposit will be transferred to another litter in the event a puppy is not available for the sex/color the Puppy Buyer has requested. The puppy Buyer will be allowed to move to the end of the deposit list of available puppies of the opposite sex/color or move to the next list for an upcoming or planned breeding.

If you choose to push your deposit back, you will no longer be locked into the original price format. If the price increases, you will have to pay whatever the price is at the time you choose to get a puppy. If you change your mind about the purchase, you can use the deposit later, but it will not be refunded.

 

 

CONTRACT

We require a signed contract prior to placing any puppy. We believe it is both responsible and professional to clearly outline our mutual obligations in writing so expectations are understood and there are no questions later. For that reason, our contract is detailed.

All buyers must submit an electronic version of the contract when joining our waitlist and will sign a paper copy at puppy pickup. The contract outlines expectations, health guarantees, return policies, and other important terms related to ownership.

We offer a health guarantee against genetic conditions that interfere with the puppy’s vital functions. While our breeding dogs are health tested, genetics can still be influenced by prior generations. In the event of a concern, we reserve the right to obtain a second veterinary opinion. If the condition is determined to be genetic, the buyer will be offered a refund upon return of the original puppy.

Additional details and specific terms are outlined in the contract itself.

Please submit the contract after this application. The link will appear on the submission page for this application.
