Question 1

How does shipping a puppy work?

Accepted Answer

You can pick up at the farm by arrangement, or we fly your puppy to you with Alaska Air Cargo. Flying is easier on a puppy than most people picture. There is no conveyor belt and no baggage pile. Your puppy rides in a pressurized, temperature-controlled compartment, in a crate that already feels like home. We take care of the arrangements with the airline and the vet, get your puppy to the airport, and walk you through every step. If you are driving, one tip: skip the rest stops, to keep your puppy clear of parvo. We can also meet you part of the way, by arrangement.

Question 2

How does your waitlist work?

Accepted Answer

You apply, we talk by phone, you sign our contract, and your $500 deposit puts you on the waitlist. Start with the application on our Puppies page . It tells us about your home, your land, your animals and what you want in a dog. If we approve it, we get on the phone and go through everything together, and then we send our contract. We agree on a male or a female up front. Your place in line does not decide which puppy you get. We match each puppy to its home at seven to eight weeks, by temperament and by what you need. We ask for the balance a week before your puppy comes home. Right now we have spots remaining.

Question 3

How much do Anatolian Shepherd puppies cost?

Accepted Answer

Every Wild Rooster puppy is $3,000. That includes a $500 deposit, which holds your place. All of our puppies are the same price. The only exception is an approved breeding home with a breeding agreement. The price covers a vet check, first shots and deworming with the vet records, a microchip, AKC registration, a blanket carrying the scent of mom and the littermates, and a start on manners and potty training.

Question 4

What age do puppies go home?

Accepted Answer

We match each puppy to its home at seven to eight weeks, and puppies go home at eight to nine weeks. We wait until seven to eight weeks to match because by then we know who each puppy is. Until they leave, our puppies are handled every day, raised on the Puppy Culture program, and living on a rhythm of inside for naps and outside to eat and play. By the time they go home they are nearly house trained and used to a crate.

Question 5

What comes with a puppy?

Accepted Answer

A vet check, first shots and deworming with the records, a microchip, AKC registration, and a blanket that smells like mom and the litter. Every puppy also goes home with basic manners and a start on potty training. Our puppies nap and sleep in crates from four weeks old, so the crate already feels like home. Behind that is eight weeks of daily handling on the Puppy Culture program, and a breeder who stays in touch for the life of your dog.

Question 6

Why do your puppies cost more than others?

Accepted Answer

We can only speak for what goes into ours: health-evaluated working parents, eight weeks of daily hands-on raising, and a breeder who stays with you for the life of the dog. The parents of our litters are OFA evaluated for hips and elbows, and they guard our own stock, so you can see what your puppy comes from. For the first four weeks our puppies sleep indoors so we can weigh every one twice a day and play with each one three times a day. They are raised on the Puppy Culture program, start crate training at four weeks, and see the whole farm from the start. Every puppy leaves with a vet check, first shots, deworming, a microchip and AKC registration. We match each puppy to its home ourselves, and we answer the phone afterward.
