General Puppy Inquiries

(If you want to actually reserve a puppy, read the section below.)

Reserving a Puppy

If you are ready to reserve a puppy, you have made it to the correct page to help you out. For the most part, there are four steps to follow once you have made the decision that the time is right for a puppy to join your family.

First, e-mail me or call me to make sure the puppy you are interested in is available.

Second, read through the Guarantees. Placing a deposit on a puppy is an agreement between us, and I want you to have confidence that your puppy has guarantees.

Third, I will need a little information about you for my records. The form lower on this page is my "puppy information form," that gives me most of what I will need to know, and is required for all puppies purchased.

Fourth and last, after you fill out the form below, place a deposit on your puppy to reserve him or her once you make a final decision (this deposit goes toward the puppy's price). I will soon afterward mark the puppy as being reserved, so everyone knows he or she is not available. Please note that until a deposit has been placed or sent on a puppy, the puppy is available for purchase. I can no longer reserve puppies where no deposit has been placed.

After reserving a puppy, remember to check out this page for tips on supplies and puppy food for your puppy.

Once you and I decide upon a time for you to meet your puppy, I will give you instructions to reach my acreage. Online mapping and GPS have taken my visitors all over the county, getting them lost. Please do not rely upon GPS and online mapping...for my address, it is unreliable for some reason!  Contact me for detailed instructions to reach me.

Information Form For My Puppies' New Owners

Phone Number(s) If this puppy would be a surprise and we should not e-mail or call a given number, please indicate that in the box after your phone number!


What gender do you want?


If you see a puppy on the Puppies page that you are particularly interested in, please let us know which puppy that is. For example, you might say "Cutie Pie's female puppy #2." If you don't have a puppy picked out, leave this blank.


Will you be showing and/or breeding your puppy in the future?


Most of our puppies come with Limited AKC (pet only, not breeding/showing) Registration. Occasionally, we may sell a litter without registration papers as well. See our Puppies page for registration options and prices. Pet Only (Limited AKC registration typically costs less than Show and Breeding Rights or Full AKC registration, which we typically charge more for). Are you looking for a puppy with FULL registration for breeding/showing, or Limited registration for a pet-only puppy?

If you buy a puppy, will it have to fly or be shipped to you?

We live in SW Iowa, about 2 hours each from Des Moines, Kansas City, and Omaha. I sometimes will fly puppies, but prefer not to. We can discuss this before you reserve a puppy if you live far away.


If you answered "Yes," please list 2 major airports near you so we can determine if shipping is an easy option to arrange:


Would you be planning to spay or neuter your puppy?



It is important to me to know that if you have one of my puppies, you are ready for the commitments that go along with owning a dog and raising a puppy. Cockers, like many breeds, are wonderful dogs. But, they do have their moments...such as during potty training! Puppies of all breeds go through chew stages and require potty training to be indoor dogs. Are you ready? :-)

What comments/questions do you have for me? Type them below:

Did you read the Guarantees page?

The Guarantees page is required reading for all of our puppies' new owners. By sending this form, you are assuring us that you have read the Guarantees page before reserving a puppy.

Also make sure you read the bulleted sentences/notes that describe each litter, which typically appear right above the first puppy's photos.
