FAQ
Everything buyers ask before they call. If yours is not here, text us — we would rather answer it than have you guess.
How much does an XCB puppy cost?
Between $4,200 and $10,000, depending on pick order and sex. We publish the full pick ladder for every litter on the Available Puppies page — no 'text for price.' First pick males carry the highest number because you are choosing before anyone else from the strongest litter we produce; fourth pick is the same breeding, same health guarantee, same papers, just later in the order.
What does the deposit do, and can I get it back?
A $1,000 deposit locks your pick position in the order it is received. It is non-refundable, but it is fully transferable to any future XCB litter within 24 months. If we fail to produce a puppy of the sex you reserved, you choose: move to the next litter or take the deposit back in full.
Do you publish pedigrees?
Every breeding dog's 3-generation pedigree is published on that dog's page — sire, dam, grandparents and greats, all named. Where a dog is listed on Pitpedia we link the record so you can verify our paper independently before you call.
Do you ship?
Nationwide, all 50 states. Insured door-to-door ground transport within 1,500 miles, and flight-nanny cabin delivery beyond that — your puppy flies in the cabin with a handler, never as cargo. Transport is quoted separately from the puppy price. Pickup at the kennel is always welcome by appointment.
Are papers included?
Yes. ABKC registration, a 3-generation certified pedigree, health certificate from a licensed veterinarian, vaccination and deworming records, and a microchip registered in your name. Full breeding rights are available — ask before you place your deposit, because it affects the paperwork we file.
What is the health guarantee?
A written 1-year health guarantee covering basic health and genetics. The full contract is published on this site before you ever pay us anything — read it first.
How old are puppies when they come home?
Eight weeks minimum, and we hold to that. Between six and eight weeks a puppy learns bite inhibition and dog-to-dog manners from its littermates that no human can teach it later. Some go home at ten weeks if they need more time.
Can I visit the kennel?
Yes, by appointment. We would rather you came. If you can't travel, we do a live video walkthrough — you see the dam, the litter, and where they are raised, on camera, in real time.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — through a third-party pet financing partner, with a soft credit check that does not affect your score. Approval takes a few minutes and it turns a $6,000 puppy into a monthly number. TODO: confirm provider (SweetPay and LendingUSA are the two most used by breeders in this category).
What is a stud fee and what does it cover?
Our stud fees run $8,500 to $12,500 and cover breeding rights only. Collection, packaging, shipping, storage, clinic and insemination costs are separate. We require a current brucellosis test and a pedigree review before booking. A successful litter is defined in the agreement as three or more puppies born alive.
What if I've never owned a bully before?
Say so on your application — it is not a disqualifier, it changes which puppy we match you with. A first-time owner gets the steadiest temperament in the litter, not the biggest head. We also stay reachable by text for the life of the dog, and most of our first-time owners still text us at year three.
