Frequently Asked Questions

​Our puppies are priced at $2,500, with a $500 non-refundable holding fee applied toward the final purchase price. This reflects the investment we make in carefully planned breedings, comprehensive health testing, veterinary care, Puppy Culture protocols, and early training and socialization. Each Puppy goes home with: • AKC registration paperwork • Microchip • Vaccination and deworming records • A Puppy Bug-Out Bag (leash, toy, blanket, training guide, and more) • Lifetime breeder support

The first step is completing our Puppy Application.(https://www.alaskagsp.com/our-puppies/application) This allows us to learn about your lifestyle, experience, and goals. Approved applicants are contacted to discuss next steps and potential future placements.

We open waitlists once a breeding is officially planned and applications are actively being reviewed. Approved families are offered placement on a waitlist based on suitability, goals, and timing. Each litter typically has 6–8 reserved spots available on the waitlist. These spots require a holding fee and a signed holding fee contract (https://www.alaskagsp.com/_files/ugd/c4e43b_a16756d2d01a46a7b2636d5d76296275.pdf) to secure placement. Once a pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasound, we may open an additional 4–6 interested-party spots for families who prefer to wait until puppy numbers are known. Please note: • A holding fee is required to reserve a guaranteed spot on the waitlist. • A puppy is not guaranteed without both a holding fee and a signed contract. • Holding fees are non-refundable but may be transferred to another appropriate litter or returned if no suitable puppy is available for your home. This structure allows us to plan responsibly, match thoughtfully, and ensure every LakeHaus puppy is placed in a committed, well-prepared home.

Because we breed very selectively—typically one to two litters per year—families should expect an average wait time of 6–12 months.

Our program is built on intentional breeding, transparency, and long-term responsibility. Every decision is made with the goal of producing sound, versatile dogs who thrive in both work and family environments.
