Where are we located?
Blissfield MI 49228

How Much?

See our policy below for pricing and the quality you get for the price. Remember you often "get what you pay for" As we train our puppies and they go home well prepared for their new roll as your family member and companion keep this in mind, the average private dog trainer is $300-500 per WEEK. Multiply this by 8 weeks minimum and you have $2400-$4000! Our puppies are priced well below what they are truly worth. 

How big will the puppies get?

Our dogs typically mature between 45 and 60 lbs, but we want to emphasize that weight is not a good indicator of size. We use height at the shoulder for size, as the same height dog could be at both ends of the weight range depending on how much they love food! Our dogs on average mature between 22 inches to 25 inches. We cannot guarantee size of any litter or any puppy, all we can do is give an educated guess. 

Do we temperament test? 

We do not do official temperament testing. While training the puppies daily I am able to gather vital information on training ability, independence, and other qualities that each puppy possesses at that moment in time. Puppies grow and change each day and with their environment. Any test done now would not mean they will continue to be that way in a new home. This is why we offer the observation of the core personality at the time they go home. Here is a great article regarding testing and what they discovered. It can be a great tool to know what areas your puppy is strong and weak in, but does not determine future temperament. That comes from environment and genetics.

                        Reservation Policy and other info
We offer the opportunity for you to reserve a puppy on a first come first serve basis.  Payment may be made in the form of cash, personal check, certified check, or money order. We also accept Square (fee involved) and Venmo for the deposit. 

We are now implementing a new way of doing our reservation list. We do not take the deposit amount of $250 until the puppies are a week old so we know they are healthy and how many. We get many requests to be put on our reservation list but have just as many back out or find another puppy. This is perfectly fine, but we do put a lot of time and effort into answering questions and keeping in contact. We will still have our free contact reservation list, but we are now offering priority to those who put down a $50 non-refundable reservation fee, in order of fee received. The $50 will be applied to the total amount of the puppy, and can be transferred to another litter. 

The final balance must be paid in full prior to the puppy leaving our home and can be made 2 weeks in advance with a personal check (must be cleared before puppy can leave our home), cash, certified check, or money order.

Puppies will not be ready to go home before 8 weeks. 

                        Puppy Pricing

Our puppies are $1800 unless otherwise noted. The non-refundable holding fee to reserve a puppy will be applied to this price. Each puppy will come with a 24 month health guarantee, available for review upon request. Puppies will come with the following:

  • Our puppies are raised in a loving environment with our three children, so they will be well socialized and well loved!
  • Early military proven "super dog" stimulation (Early neurological stimulation) 
  • Raised using the best understanding in animal behavior and the "Puppy Culture" methods https://www.puppyculture.com/ 
  • Vet checked and first vaccine
  • Stool samples for worms and de-wormed as appropriate
  • Started on potty training
  • Beginning crate training
  • 24 month health guarantee as outlined in the contract
  • A sample of puppy food that the puppy has been eating. 
  • A toy and small blanket with the scent of the home and litter mates for comfort during the new transition to your home
  • Microchip 
  • Collar
  • Lifetime support
  • We DO NOT crop tails or remove dewclaws. We find this practice outdated and inhumane, and most other countries have banned this practice. 

We are implementing a new program to encourage our families to take training classes and turn in their spay/neuter certificates without me tracking them down. Families will get a $50 refund upon completion of a basic obedience class taken by 8 months of age, and another $50 upon completion of the Canine Good Citizen test or getting therapy dog certified by 2 years of age. There is also a $50 refund for submission of the spay/neuter contract done between 12-18 months of age. If done outside of this range there will be no refund for the spay/neuter or training and appropriate proof must still be provided.

                                                                               Guarantee

Our parent dogs undergo genetic testing and hip and elbow evaluations. We are happy to provide proof of the results.  We have a 2 year health guarantee against serious genetic defects and hip/elbow dysplasia.   

                                  Spay/Neuter Agreement

We require all puppies to be spayed/neutered by 12 months of age (but not much sooner) as recommended by the AKC and the University of California Davis. Breeding contracts and CKC papers (when available) will be granted to approved homes for additional fee. 

                                          Allergy Note

Although doodles are considered to be allergy friendly, it can vary from person to person and dog to dog.  Doodles and Poodles are also considered low shed, but we are unable to guarantee the degree of shedding, which depends on coat type and grooming frequency.

                           Shipping Terms and Conditions

If you would prefer not to drive, we will be offering transportation of your puppy within a certain distance for an additional cost. Puppies can be flown to you in cabin with my husband or myself for the cost of the airline ticket plus $50 for our time, or you can fly to us and we will meet you at the airport. We can also recommend a great flight nanny. Our closest airports are DTW in Detroit or Toledo airport. (DTW is almost always cheaper) Average cost for flights round trip is about$350-500 depending on destination.   

Driving deliveries will be charged by the government standard mileage rates of 53.5 cents per mile.

On this date _____________________________, the above described dog has been sold as a pet and companion to___________________(hereafter known as Buyer) by John and Amanda Coblentz, (hereafter known as Seller) in the amount of $________
 
 
 
 
The following conditions apply to the sale of the above described puppy:
 
1. The Seller guarantees that the puppy is in good health on the date of purchase, and has received a veterinary exam, routine de-worming, and proper vaccinations. Records will be provided to Buyer at time of purchase. The Buyer has the right to return the puppy to the Seller within three (3) business days after purchase and receive a refund of the purchase price, if the puppy is found by a veterinarian to be suffering from any disease or illness. Proof of examination and diagnosis by a licensed veterinarian must be provided to Seller and the puppy must be returned to the Seller immediately.
 
2. Health Warranty: The Seller guarantees that testing of hips, eyes and elbows have been performed on both parent dogs but should this dog become unable to function as a pet due to the following: crippling hip or elbow dysplasia as confirmed by an OFA report of  moderate or severe dysplasia, blindness caused by progressive retinal atrophy as confirmed by a board certified canine ophthalmologist, or congenital heart condition (excluding Dilated Cardiomyopathy if the dog is on a grain free food) as diagnosed by a canine cardiologist, the Seller agrees to reimburse for reasonable customary medical treatment necessary, after diagnosis, to correct or cure the condition up to but not more than 100% of the purchase price of the puppy, minus any incentives received. The Buyer will supply the seller with said reports at the Buyer’s expense and will also supply a written statement from a certified veterinarian to include the dogs description and microchip number, stating that the puppy/dog was not overweight and has not been involved in any physical trauma and has received regular routine exams.  This guarantee will remain valid until the dog reaches 24 months of age.  The Seller must be promptly notified of such problems and agree in writing prior to Buyer euthanizing the dog for one of the aforementioned problems or this guarantee will not be honored.   Seller will not require that the dog be returned in order to fulfill this guarantee. Seller reserves the right to confirm the results before a refund is granted. Buyer MUST provide proof of spay/neuter within 12 months of age (or after first heat cycle in females) as agreed or health guarantee is null and void. The genetic conditions tested and covered under the health warranty are as follows; Degenerative Myelopathy, Golden Retriever-PRA 1 and 2, Ichthyosis, Muscular Dystrophy, and Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures. A dog with carrier status will not be covered, as a carrier will not display the genetic condition.
 
2. Health Warranty (cont): The health guarantee covers only what is stated above, for the dog listed above, and does not include any illness due to the ingestion of foreign objects, food, chemicals, physical injuries or issues whose cause is unknown or may have an environmental link. Breeder does not warranty against non-threatening occurrences such as hernias, missing or misaligned teeth or allergies. Seller strongly advises to continue the puppy on the food they are sent home with to avoid digestive upset and is not responsible for food allergies or intolerances.  Stress from a new environment can cause a healthy puppy to experience GI upset. It is not unusual for a puppy to get a stress related illness such as coccidia or giardia immediately after going to a new home. Please contact us for advice along with your veterinarian if something should occur. Because these are found in abundance in the environment Seller is not responsible for these issues and will provide Buyer with proof of negative fecal exam prior to the puppy going home.
 
3. The Buyer agrees to provide a life-long commitment, comfortable and safe environment, prompt medical attention, proper grooming and responsible care. This includes keeping this puppy/dog parasite free and up to date with vaccinations, proper nutrition, which consists of a good quality professional feed given at regular intervals, and fresh water available at all times. 
 
 4. The Seller does not guarantee against shedding, coat type, or allergic reaction.   The Seller does not guarantee the size, color, or temperament of dog as a puppy or at maturity. 
    
 5. This dog is warranted only for the purpose of being a companion animal, not for any other purpose or reasons. No warranty is given to the buyer for any special purpose or function of this dog. This dog is not to be used for any illegal or immoral activities and is not to be used for any type of puppy-mill or breeding purposes.
 
6. In the event that the Buyer is unable to keep the dog or provide an appropriate home in accordance with this agreement, Buyer will not abandon the dog or surrender it to a shelter, but agrees to contact Seller. Buyer may return the dog to Seller with no refund of purchase price. Health Guarantee is null and void upon transfer of dog to new owner without agreement of Seller.
 
 
Spay/Neuter
7. The puppy is sold with no breeding rights included.  Buyer agrees to have the dog spayed/neutered between twelve (12) and eighteen (18) months of age, unless a female has not had a heat cycle, which is then acceptable to wait until after the first cycle to ensure the dog has reached maturity. Doing so for the female can also help with lifelong urinary health. The Buyer will provide the seller proof of spay/neuter by mail or email (amanda.m.coblentz@gmail.com) with a written veterinary certificate or a copy of the bill with said dog’s information and microchip number within 30 days of the surgery.  Failure to provide proof of spay/neuter will render the health guarantee null and void and the Buyer shall pay the Seller the sum of $1,000 for breeding rights. Any legal fees incurred by the Seller to enforce this non-breeding contract are the sole responsibility of the Buyer.
  
8. In the event that that Buyer feels there is reason for a refund before 24 months of age, proof of proper health care must be provided by a veterinarian, including routine vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and flea and tick control, along with the reason and documentation for the refund request. If this information is not provided the health warranty will be void. Request must be related to what is covered in the health warranty only. Proof of diagnosis must be provided and the Seller has the option of having the diagnosis confirmed by a Veterinarian of their choice before a refund is issued. 
 
9. Training and Temperament: Buyer understands that all puppies exhibit certain undesirable behaviors (nipping, chewing, jumping etc). Buyer is responsible for appropriate training of puppy to correctly teach acceptable behaviors, and is responsible for proper socialization of puppy. Buyer agrees to provide proper training no later than 16 weeks of age and continue with training as long as necessary to establish a 
solid foundation for a well socialized puppy. Training may be done independently or through professional trainers. No one can guarantee the future temperament of a dog due to environmental influences, improper training, lack of socialization, neglect or abuse. Therefore, we do not warrant such.
 
10. Upon execution of this contract all veterinary care and its associated costs are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Buyer.
 
11. In the event of a dispute between parties, neither side shall be permitted to publish or communicate the existence of content of such dispute in any way in any online forum or social media. Should any slander occur causing any type of damage to the reputation of HeartSong Homestead and/or its owner, resulting from any disputes associated with this agreement and the aforementioned dog, or should any part of this contract be violated, the Buyer agrees to pay fines of $10,000 in addition but not limited to collection costs, attorney frees, court costs, and all other expenses of enforcing the rights of the Seller under this agreement.
 
12.  If Buyer or Seller commences any legal action as a result of this contract, Buyer agrees that the place of venue for such action shall be the state of Michigan in Lenawee County. Any legal fees incurred in upholding this contract will be the responsibility of the Buyer. This contract is legally binding to all parties named within and applies only to the Buyer and Seller named below and is not transferable to other parties.
 
13. Incentives:
            The total of $50.00 will be reimbursed to the buyer upon submission of proof of spay/neuter within 30 days of the procedure. A copy of the bill and the dogs description and microchip number must be on the form. Spay/neuter must be done between 12 and 18 months of age, unless female has not had her first heat cycle. In this event the buyer must notify seller to continue to be eligible. This incentive will not be honored if said dog is spayed/neutered before 12 months of age.
 
            Upon completion of a basic obedience course on or before 8 months of age, buyer   will reimburse seller $50.00 (fifty) after completion certificate is received within 30 days of completion.

 Seller will not be responsible for any veterinary bills or shipping costs. Seller is not responsible for physical injury or liability to people or property after the puppy has left Sellers care.
