Our Puppy Placement Process

A thoughtful process for the best possible match.

From the first hello to homecoming, every step is designed to make sure each puppy joins a family that is the right fit, for life.

1
Research Us & Our Program

We invite you to learn about our breeding philosophy, our dogs, and what makes our program unique. Make sure we are the right fit for you and your family.

2
Submit Your Application

Complete our puppy interest form, send us an email or give us a call so we can learn more about you, your lifestyle, and what you are looking for in your future Dobermann. This helps us place our puppies in the best possible homes.

3
Application Review

We carefully review each application. This will include a phone call and if possible a visit, to answer questions and learn more about how we can best help you.

4
Approval & Next Steps

Once approved, we contact you when the pregnancy is confirmed. Obviously, we can’t guarantee that there will be enough puppies for every applicant, if that’s the case we’ll put you on the list for the next litter.

5
Reserve Your Puppy

Once the puppies are born, we require a 50% deposit, for you that ensures that a puppy is reserved for you and for us it ensures that we are not holding a puppy that could go to another home.

6
The Right Puppy

We thoughtfully match puppies based on temperament, lifestyle, and the best fit for both family and puppy. We keep you updated throughout the entire process.

Costs

Deposit

A 50% (of the purchase fee) non-refundable deposit reserves your puppy for you.

Deposit Details

The deposit is credited toward the final purchase price when the puppy is collected.

Remaining Balance

The remaining balance is due at pick-up. Full details are provided once your puppy is confirmed.

Current puppy pricing is shared with you when you contact us.

Important to Know

A few things to keep in mind:

  • If you decide to pass on a litter, you can move onto the list for the next litter.
  • We do not reserve puppies without a deposit.
  • We reserve the right to refuse any application.
  • Our goal is to place the right puppy in the right home, not just any home.

This is more than just a puppy.

It's the beginning of a lifelong partnership.

We’re so happy that you’re considering a vom Illerdamm Dobermann. It’s important to us that our puppies go to families where they will be loved and thrive throughout their lives, while having the opportunity to reach their full potential. We look forward to getting to know you and finding the right puppy for you together.
