💰 Pricing & Reservation

To reserve a puppy, a $300 non-refundable reservation fee is required. This fee covers services rendered prior to reservation and is applied toward the final purchase price. All puppies must be paid in full by 6 weeks of age.

​

• $2,200 | Ridged Puppy

  • May have minor cosmetic faults (e.g., single crown, minor tail kink, or excess white).

  • Includes a non-breeding agreement and Limited AKC Registration.

• $1,300 | Ridgeless Puppy

  • Genetically identical in health and temperament to their ridged siblings; ridgelessness is purely cosmetic.

• Price by Request | Breeding & Show Quality

  • Offered exclusively to ethical, responsible breeders. Full AKC registration is provided only upon approval.

 

✨ The Diamondcrest Difference

We go above and beyond standard care to ensure your puppy is confident and prepared for life.

​

• Advanced Puppy Preschool: We follow a specialized curriculum focused on building trust and confidence. These daily exercises create resilient puppies ready for any family environment.

• Early Potty Training: We begin "potty pan" training at 3 weeks old! By the time they go home, our puppies have a strong understanding of where to go, making housebreaking much easier for you.

• Crate Introduction: At 5–6 weeks, we introduce open crates for exploration. Our goal is for puppies to feel calm and relaxed in a crate, ensuring those first few nights in your home are stress-free.

• Comprehensive Health Testing: Parents are OFA certified for Hips and Elbows, DM Clear, and heart-cleared by a veterinarian.

 

📦 What’s Included with Your Puppy

Every puppy is sent home with a comprehensive care package to start them off right:

​

• Health: 2-year health warranty, FL health certificate, up-to-date vaccinations, and deworming.

• Insurance: 30 days of free pet insurance through Trupanion.

• Registration: AKC Registration (Limited registration provided upon proof of spay/neuter).

• Essentials: Properly fitted collar and leash, plus a "Go Home Goody Bag."

• Support: Lifetime breeder support—we are here for you forever!
