Stella Maris SamoyedsThe process
From application to going-home day.
No surprises, no pressure, and no stage where you are guessing what happens next. This is the whole process, written down.
Application
Tell us about your household, your days, and what you want to do with a Samoyed.
Conversation
We talk — properly. Grooming is a real commitment and we would rather say so now.
Reservation
A deposit holds your place in the litter, not a specific puppy.
Matching
At about seven weeks we pair each family with the puppy that actually fits them.
Going home
Eight weeks, fully vetted, with a starter kit and us on the other end of the phone for life.
Pickup day
What to bring, and what to expect.
Plan on staying a while. Collection is not a handover in a car park — you will meet the parents, see where the puppy has been living, and go through the paperwork properly.
Bring a crate or carrier
A puppy travels safely restrained, not on a lap. Bring something they can settle in for the drive.
Bring a towel and water
Long drives and small bladders. Assume at least one stop and one accident.
Allow an hour or two
We go through health records, feeding, the contract and the microchip transfer together.
Bring the whole household
Everyone who will live with this dog should meet it here, children included.
Deposit & balance
$1,000 to reserve, $2,800–$3,300 on collection.
Before taxes and fees. The deposit is non-refundable, but transferable to a future litter. The deposit counts toward your total, and holds your place in the litter rather than a specific puppy — matching happens at about seven weeks.
A three-year genetic health guarantee. We stand behind the puppies we produce with a three-year genetic health guarantee and lifelong breeder support. If something genetic goes wrong, we want the phone call — at three months or at three years.
Included
What goes home with the puppy.
Next
Now get the house ready.
Once you are matched, the useful work happens at your end. We have written down everything worth doing in the fortnight before a Samoyed puppy arrives.
