Pricing Info
Deposits are $300 due after approval to be on our master waiting list. Deposits are non-refundable but may be transferred to another litter up to a year from the litter you were to get a puppy from first (birth date). A pet puppy will cost between $2,200 (with a Limited Registration which means non-breeding or conformation showing registration) and up to $2,800 depending on the parents and the accomplishments. The remainder is due by pick up of the puppy.
Advance Puppy Options:
Pick Puppy
Pick Puppies are an additional $500 and come with a Full Registration. You will be bumped up to the top of the puppy list to have your pick of puppy. This is also something you can decide to do later down the road if you originally purchase a pet under a limited registration but decide say 6-12 months later that this dog is amazing and needs to be a breed ambassador! Let us evaluate your dog and say yes he is or maybe not quite breed/show worthy before jumping to that decision. If they are a great ambassador, then you pay the difference of $500 and we will revoke the limited registration and make it a Full registration. We recommend the Co-Breed option (see next paragraph) if you want to show and breed with assistance.
Guardian Home/Co-Ownership
The Purchaser is considered a foster or Guardian Home (Purchaser) of the Dog provided. The breeding dog lives with their adoptive family, Guardian Home, as a dog growing up safely, getting training, socialization, loved and cared for and is part of the family. The Guardian family has the opportunity to have a truly wonderful breed representative (top pick puppy) at a very low cost, in exchange for working with us for a limited number of litters or stud services. The Guardian Home (Purchaser) will get an agreed upon value for each litter and Stud dogs will get a portion of the stud services received. This is a “win” for everyone, the parent dog, the Guardian family, and Trademark Kennels.
The plan as summarized is-the dog returns to the Seller for female health testing and breeding (about 10-16 days), during their heat cycle, and will return home for the gestational period (about 7-8 weeks) and then again returns a week prior to whelp/delivery of the puppies and through the weaning process (about 7 weeks total). A stud dog is used only for about 5-7 days for breeding at most.
Guardian Home families must live within two hours of Trademark Kennels (or a representative) and the family must be willing to meet us half-way to attain the dog during these periods.
Breeder has rights to first pick puppy no matter your position in the litter as means of carrying on our bloodlines and for competition purposes.

Always In Our Hearts
Bar-Ben’s Impressive Copy CD was Vera’s first dog. She was allowed the opportunity at the age of 10 to pick her puppy from the time they were born and raise him up with appropriate training.
He was as loyal as could be, protective, athletic, smart, and just beautiful. There wasn’t a person that met him and didn’t fall in love with him.
Impressive left a legacy and produced many litters for Bar-Ben Kennels. Vera and Pressive had a bond unlike any other and ultimately this is the dog that planted the seed in her head for the love of the breed and catapulted her breeding program.
Bar-Ben’s Cyber Link CD
He was the Grandson of Impressive and carried on many of the traits Vera had fell in love with originally. He was a fantastic house dog and companion.
He was a favorite to everyone who met him. His intelligence was beyond unbelievable. We know he understood full sentences.
We Offer Boarding
Caring for your dog in a personal and safe way when you must go away. We are hands-on and take time to get to know each dog entrusted to our care.
Dogs are social animals and enjoy our companionship, the day-to-day activities, and the lovely country fresh air. At Trademark Kennels we help them get comfortable with a routine and lessen their stress overall by providing them stimulus and recreation time in our common areas, unless otherwise requested for health reasoning. Here they can play with jolly balls, softballs, varieties of toys, and even partake in water sports (baby pools). A tired pup makes for a happy kennel (and parent).
We do not support the concept of all day freedom for our guests. Too much stimulation without appropriate down time leads to increased anxiety, stress, forming of bad habits, and possible aggression.
