Family raised pups, they are raised around all age groups, mom and dad are around them at all times. We do a $500 deposit for blue and white to hold specific pup and $200 deposit for black and white to hold specific pup. If at anytime you would have to rehome him, I would get him back. If after making deposit and for whatever reason you would need to hold off, the $500 would transfer to next liter. He will have all shots, chipped and vet checked before pickup. They do carry the blue gene.
