Your $250 reservation deposit secures your place in the selection order, based on when payment is received. Before selection begins, it does not reserve a specific puppy. Tell us your preferred sex and color when reserving. At around four to five weeks, River Bend Labs will contact your family in order to discuss each puppy’s emerging temperament and help you choose from the puppies still available. Once your family chooses a specific available puppy, your deposit reserves that puppy. Reservation deposits are generally non-refundable. You may change your choice to a different available puppy if you wish.
