Each Mom has their Nursery List, which is a pick list for a litter.  Only expecting moms have a Nursery List that you may choose to join. 

 Puppy applicants who are approved for a puppy but are not ready to commit with a paid deposit. Nursery List opens at 6 weeks for Pre Approved list. First come first serve. You may be asked to reapply if your initial approval was more than 6 months from requesting to join a nursery list. 

 Puppy families open to most physical traits. Nursery List opens at 4 weeks for this list. $500 non refundable deposit is required.  You may stay on this list for up to 6 months. If a temperament match is not produced we will consider your request for an extension.

 Puppy families who are looking for specific physical traits. Nursery list opens up as soon as a litter is announced for the first 2 picks of each litter. $1000 non refundable deposit is required.  You may stay on this list for up to 12 months.

All deposits are non refundable and they expire in 12 months from initial deposit. If you are very specific about temperament and physical traits and do not want to commit to a list we advise that you follow our social media and website for any “READY PUPS” that may be available in the future

If you are not matched with a puppy from your selected Nursery List you may move to another Nursery List for the next available Ultimate Match spot (2 per Nursery List limit) or you may choose another puppy from that Nursery even if the physical traits are not what you originally were looking for.

If we do not have a puppy born that matches what you are looking for you may move to another Nursery List for the next available Ultimate Match spot. You have up to 12 months to be matched with your pup.

If there are no Nursery Lists open that would match the physical traits you are looking for, you will be notified once a matching Nursery List is open so you may join. .

Nursery Lists are only open for those expecting moms. You may not join a closed Nursery list (mommas not yet bred). We can’t control heat cycles or nature. 

Depending on the color you are looking for I will advise as to which list is best suited for you. Colors that are very rare are only produced by certain pairings so the Ultimate Match Program may be best for you.

Since we can’t predict which pairings produce what gender, the Expecting List is best suited for you. Join the Nursery List that has the gender you are looking for. 

Since we do not breed for size, our puppies can range in size depending on the pairing. However, we can estimate weights based on past litters and parent size so the Ultimate Match Program may be best for you, especially if you are looking for puppies on the smaller side

First Pick Disclaimer: Divine Pups reserves the right to first pick for every litter. Any Service Dog placement will automatically be assigned first pick for litters Divine Pups does not join. 

The first 2 pick spots will be available for the Ultimate Match Program if Divine Pups or Service Dog Placement are not applicable. If the Ultimate Match Program spots are not filled by 4 weeks old, these 2 spots will be available for the Expecting List. 

At 4 weeks depending on litter size each Nursery List will have a total of 2-4 available spots.

You will be notified via email that the Nursery list is open for the Expecting List. You will have 24 hours to reply . If we do not receive a “Join” response within the allowed time frame you waive your spot. The Nursery List will be open to pre approved homes on a first come first serve basis after the 24 hour period. 

All deposits are non refundable and they expire in 6 months from initial deposit. We only open our Expecting List during times that we are expecting puppies and allow a limited number of spots so we ask that you are committed in your search as we are committed to working to produce a puppy that would be a good match for you. Both physical and temperament traits are inherited so our breeding decisions are based on our Expecting List and Ultimate Match Program

Yes. You can switch to the Ultimate Match Program if we have available spots for the Nursery List you are interested in. A $500 additional deposit is due at the time of switch. (see FAQ for UMP prior to requesting a switch). Once you join the UMP you may not switch back to the Expecting List. 

The MOST important part of our program is to honor the voice of our puppies. If the available puppies are NOT a match for you after temperament evaluations you will be placed back on the Expecting List for the date we received your deposit. 

You may also join for the next available spot on another Nursery List. You do not have to make any additional deposits if you join another Nursery List, we will credit your original Expecting List deposit of $500 and your Nursery List deposit of $500 towards the next list you join.
