Frequently Asked Questions

Our puppies are born and raised inside our home. Either in our dining room or our main room (where my computer desk is) and both are next to our living room. They are exposed to all sorts of sights, sounds, cats, dogs and my daughter on a daily basis. We train our puppies to go potty on newspaper on a rabbit tray for easier clean up. Puppies are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks of age, given first 5 way puppy vaccine at 8 weeks, microchipped and examined by a licensed veterinarian prior to leaving our home.

We send our puppies home with 4 pounds of food, appropriate leash and collar/ slip lead, a few toys, a health record of each deworming, vaccine, microchip and health certificate. I also pay for their AKC Registrations which will be emailed and a hard copy will be mailed to you from AKC once completed. 

Any litter we have is for ourselves first are foremost. We reserve first pick male and female from day one. Show/Performance homes will be able to choose after we select ours. Although most of the dogs we produce can be shown and finished we do think they deserve loving pet homes thus remaining puppies will be placed by order of deposit received. I do allow the new owners to choose their puppy. I have only had to step in once in 14 years of breeding because I felt they were not choosing the correct puppy for their family. I only accept deposits if I can guarantee you a puppy. For example. If 6 puppies were born, I automatically reserve 2, thus only 4 remaining puppies will be available for deposit.  Evaluations are done when the puppies are 8 weeks of age, sometimes they do not turn out to what I was looking for then I may have a puppy available after everyone else has chosen their puppies. 

I select my puppies based on whom I feel has the best structure. My breeding programs first priority is temperament without excluding health and pedigree. This allows me to be extremely picky when the puppies are 8 weeks old. Whether you have 2nd pick after me or last pick, no one will be getting a bad/unwanted puppy. 

Yes- However, I only allow visitors with approved applications and deposits when the puppies are 7-8 weeks of age by appointment only. This is my home, not a pet shop. Although I have nothing to hide I do have dog chores and work full time. The health and well being of my dogs and puppies means WAY more to me than a sale of a puppy to have any member of the public just coming onto our property after being god knows where and intentionally or unintentionally bringing unwelcome diseases that can be fatal. Unfortunately, we did learned this the hard way.

Yes. We cover any puppy we breed for two years against eye diseases and hip dysplasia. Elbows as well for the Finnish Lapphunds. I have a 5 page sales contract with my written health gurantee which is given prior to picking up your puppy. 

I am not God and cannot nor will ever say the puppy you get from me will never or ever come down with something in its lifetime. However, I try my very best to make sure my dogs are healthy inside and out. If I learn or discover anything I am open and honest about it. I will stop using a line if it can/possibly will produce any progeny that would cause a difficult life for the dog and its owners. I breed as a very expensive hobby as it is a passion for me not a means of income.  

Communication is key also, if something does come up please notify me as soon as possible. I will try my best to research and help.

I am sorry if I have not responded to you in a timely manner, please know it is not intentional. Between dog chores, working full time second shift, raising my daughter who does go to school and sometimes sleep. My mind can get off track from time to time. The fastest way to reach me is through Facebook Messenger whether my personal page or my Facebook page: Midnight White Siberians and Finnish Lapphunds. 

If I offer you a puppy, it is because I am guaranteeing you a puppy. It is your choice to send a deposit to reserve one of our puppies. Once our puppies are reserved we refer prospective homes to other reputable breeders or ask them to wait for another litter. Thus no, the deposit if non-refundable, especially if you found another puppy from another breeder.  I will e-mail you a deposit form to be mailed to me, if you  have any questions once receiving it please contact me and ask questions if you have them.

If you come to visit or when you pick up the puppy and we have that sixth sense that hey a puppy from me is not going to be the best fit for you, me, and most importantly the puppy... then I will gladly refund your deposit right then and there. 

With all due respect, I do not care how much money you have, if I get a bad vibe or hear something bad/unsettling from another breeder (the dog breeding world is very small and a lot of us talk to each other) you are not getting one of my puppies.
