Hidden Creek Puppy Policy
Our goal at Hidden Creek DK's is to produce hard working versatile hunting companions for the North American foot hunter. We aim to place our pups in hunting homes and ,ideally, hunting homes that will test in either the DKV or NAVHDA. This provides us with objective feedback on the success of the breeding. All of our breeding stock has been raised, trained and hunted by us. We know the dogs we are breeding inside and out before they are bred.
We believe that tested dogs receive the attention and training which allow them to realize their true potential. We strive to provide as much training help as possible to our owners. Since it is mutually beneficial, we offer significantly reduced training rates for Hidden Creek dogs that will be tested.
We encourage all prospective buyers to come and work with our dogs to ensure that their expectations will be met in regards to temperament, range, etc. We want our puppy buyers to be completely satisfied with their dogs. We will take any pup back at any time for any reason. A full refund will be given for any puppy with a congenital health issue within the first two years.
Puppy prices are $1200 for both male and female. We have had to increase our puppy price as costs for testing parents and registrations have increased. Deposits will not be accepted until the litter size is confirmed. Puppies will be registered with the DKV in Germany. Puppies will not be released until 10 weeks of age as we feel this is in the best interests of the pup and owner. Pups will have had initial introductions to the field, birds, water and be properly socialized by that time.
Started and finished dogs will be available from time to time. Prices vary and are based on the training level the particular dog has achieved. To us, a "started dog" is ready or has passed the DKV Derby and/or NAVHDA NA Test and well on the way toward the DKV Solms. Steady to wing and shot, solid in the water, and a reliable retriever.
Please feel free to call us or email with any questions.
