Priority Waiting List
The purpose of our priority waiting list is to get you a puppy as quickly as possible. We understand that sometimes when we get a puppy for you the timing is not ideal. Because of this we will allow you to pass and wait for the next litter ONE time (If you choose to pass on the second puppy offered to you we will remove you from our waiting list and $100 deposit is forfeit). Please do not get on our waiting list until you are ready for a puppy or indicate on your form when you will be ready for a puppy (longest wait can be is 8 months. See below for more details). Even if our list is long, we have gone all the way through it, down to the last person a few times now, when placing puppies.
​
**After vet checks are complete we will start at the top of our waiting list and contact each person letting them know it is their turn to choose. It is each buyers responsibility to watch our website and any upcoming litters they may get to choose from. We will send both an email and a text. If we can't get ahold of you, for what ever reason, within 8 hours we will move onto the next person on the list. **
​
Current Litters
To be placed on our waiting list for puppies already born we must first have received your deposit and signed Puppy Holding Agreement form (see pdf below). For deposits we accept Cash and/or Venmo - Deposits are non-refundable. Puppies go home at 8 weeks (unless another date has been agreed upon). If not picked up by 8 weeks we charge $10/day for boarding and extra medical expenses. Buyer must indicate which puppy they would like at time of deposit. Deposits can be transferred to another available puppy in the same litter at any time. If buyer changes their mind and wants to wait until another litter, the puppy they originally chose must be younger than 6 weeks old. If puppy is over 6 weeks and the buyer no longer wants the puppy, their deposit is considered forfeited and the seller has no further obligations to the buyer.
​
Future litters​
With your non-refundable holding fee of $100, you will be placed IN ORDER of the time we receive your holding fee on this priority waiting list for the puppy of your specifications. When we get a puppy that we believe matches what you're looking for, you will be notified according to your position on the priority waiting list. If you are happy with the puppy choice, then you will be required to place an additional holding fee of $200 to have the puppy held for you. Holding fees will go towards final asking price. Holding fees ARE transferable to another puppy within the same litter at any time. If buyer wants to wait for another litter AFTER having a specific puppy reserved for them, that puppy must be younger than 6 weeks old to do so. If buyer no longer wants the puppy deposit was placed on and puppy is over 6 weeks old, deposit is considered forfeit at that time and seller has no further obligations to buyer. If a suitable choice is presented to you and you choose not to follow through with adopting a puppy, your holding fee will be considered forfeited at that time. Buyers will only be allowed to stay on the waiting list for a year unless a puppy matching their specifications never becomes available during that time. If this is the case, the buyer may opt to stay on the list for an additional agreed upon time by buyer and Puppy Wags & Kisses. If we do not get a puppy with your specifications (breed, gender and/or color), within one year from the date you place your deposit and you do not want to remain on our waiting list we will refund your $100. For deposits we accept cash or Venmo. At pick up we accept Cash only unless we are shipping puppy to you. We will make other arrangements in those circumstances.​​
​
**Please do not send payments via Venmo without contacting us first. We will send you our personal link. Thank you!**
​
Because of our work schedules, activities, and time requirements with our puppies, we only take and send pictures once per week. This will usually happen on the weekends. Please keep this in mind before you decide to place a deposit on one of our puppies. We also only accept CASH at pick-up if you are picking up your puppy in person. If we are shipping him/her to you we will make other arrangements for final payments.

Pre/Post Pick-Up Policy
For safety purposes, we are no longer allowing buyers to come to our home to meet/pick-up their puppy. We know this is a red flag for some, so we want to be up-front about it and welcome you to look at other breeders that do allow home visits. We understand the concern, but the safety/health of our family, pets, and property will always come first for us. Not all buyers have the best of intentions, and because of this, all puppy showings/pick-ups will be in a public place.
Because of our work schedules, activities, and time requirements with our puppies, we only take and send pictures once per week. This will usually happen on the weekends. Please keep this in mind before you decide to place a deposit on one of our puppies.
Thank you for understanding.

If you have any questions about any of the breeds we raise, or a question about any of our puppies please feel free to contact us. Our preferred method of communication is text, but we can usually return calls or emails fairly quickly .
Shipping
Shipping Considerations
Via Flight Nanny: We are pretty limited with shipping via airplane. It is still very difficult to get flights, and you will need to be very patient and accommodating with when puppy will arrive. Our nanny flies standby and can only come if there is a seat available. Most airlines are not running all regular flights yet. Consequently those that are operating are full and don't have any stand by seats available. Plans have often had to be rearranged, changed or canceled entirely. Please let us know at the time you place your deposit if you will need shipping and we will see if that is something we can do.
**Again it is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer to pick up or arrange pick up of their puppy if we are unable to do so.**
​
Ground Shipping: We do have more availability for ground shipping (especially in the Western United States). Let us know if this is something you would like and we can see if we can make it work.

Genetic Mutation CDDY-IVDD
CDDY-IVDD is a newly discovered genetic mutation. 85-90% of all smaller dogs carry this mutation. Cavaliers are especially prone to this as it is part of what gives them their distinctive look. We do NOT guarantee against our puppies having 1 or 2 copies of this genetic mutation. Click link below to learn more about it.
