Evolution Puppy Pricing:
Perhaps the most common question asked regarding buying a Keeshond puppy from Evolution is, "How much does a puppy cost?"
All puppies, male or female, companion or show prospect, are $1800. A $300 non-refundable* deposit is required to secure your place in line.
The price of your puppy includes AKC registration, 5 generation pedigree, AKC Reunite microchip and microchip registration, an exam at 8 weeks of age along with a health report from my veterinarian, a sample of the food the puppy has been weaned onto, a soft toy that has been with the puppy so that it has the scent of the littermates and dam, a collar and leash, and last, but certainly not least, a lifetime of support from a reputable breeder. At the 8 week exam, puppies are administered their first DAPPv (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Parvo) vaccine and microchipped.
Please note that companion puppies are sold on a contract that requires sterilization after long bones have finished growing, which is typically between 14-18 months of age in Keeshonden. Research continues to reveal links between spaying/neutering juvenile dogs with an increased likelihood of hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, mast cell tumors, and canine cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture as well as behavior issues and noise sensitivity, particularly fear of storms.
*If the litter does not produce the type of puppy that you're in search of (male/female, show/companion), you can either have your deposit refunded, or you can be placed at the top of the wait list for the next litter.

Buying a puppy from Evolution:
The first step in acquiring a puppy from Evolution is filling out and submitting a puppy application.

Keeshonden are my passion, and the puppies I produce are like my children, so it's very important to me that they go to the right home. I follow the Rule of Seven as well as the steps of Bio Sensor. I evaluate temperament at 49 days of age using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test, and structure/conformation to the breed standard between 7.5 and 8.5 weeks. It's important that I understand what activities you want to do with your dog, as well as your family dynamic to make the best decision about the appropriate tempered dog to send home with you. Matching the right puppy to the right family will ensure the best possible outcome.
