Policies, Pricing, Deposits & Payments

All Black Gold puppies are $2,500, regardless of color or gender.

A total non-refundable deposit of $700 is required and is applied toward your puppy’s $2,500 purchase price.

The deposit is completed in two stages:

A $200 non-refundable waiting list deposit secures your position on the Black Gold waiting list.

An additional $500 non-refundable puppy deposit is due within 10 days of your puppy’s birth to officially reserve your puppy.

Once the full $700 deposit has been paid, the remaining balance of $1,800 is due when your puppy reaches 6 weeks of age. If delivery services are requested, all applicable delivery fees are also due at that time.

At the 6-week veterinary appointment, your puppy will receive an AKC Reunite Indigo ISO Microchip. Your complete contact information will be required so the microchip can be properly registered in your name.

By 7 weeks of age, your puppy’s name and ownership information will be submitted for official registration with the American Kennel Club (AKC).

Our goal is to have these important details completed before Gotcha Day so you can simply focus on welcoming your new Black Gold puppy home. 🖤💛

Your puppy’s purchase price includes the essential veterinary care and preparation needed for a healthy, happy start:

First puppy vaccinations
AKC Reunite microchip implantation
Routine deworming
Tail docking and dewclaw removal
6-week puppy wellness examination

All veterinary care is performed by a licensed Texas veterinarian (DVM).

Each puppy will also be registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) prior to going home.

Once your deposit has been placed, you’ll be able to follow your puppy’s journey from birth through 8 weeks with weekly photos and/or videos shared through our private Facebook Group, Instagram, and/or TikTok.

It’s important to us that our families feel connected to their puppy long before Gotcha Day arrives.

Every Black Gold puppy goes home with a receiving blanket carrying the familiar scents of mama and littermates, along with a puppy folder containing your Purchase Agreement, Health Guarantee, vaccination and deworming records, and helpful breed and puppy care information.

Your puppy will also receive a goodie bag with a toy and a supply of the food they have been eating to help make the transition into their new home a little easier.

Our goal is for every Black Gold family to leave Gotcha Day feeling informed, prepared, confident, and, most importantly, completely in love with their new puppy! 🖤💛

For the safety and well-being of our puppies, Black Gold puppies are never shipped via airline cargo.

Families are always welcome to pick up their puppy personally at our home. When air travel is necessary, we are also happy to coordinate meeting you or your approved flight nanny at our local airport.

If you need assistance arranging travel, we can provide contact information for trusted flight nannies. All puppies traveling by air must remain in the aircraft cabin with their owner or flight nanny for the entire journey.

Our priority is ensuring every Black Gold puppy travels safely and comfortably from our home to yours. 🖤💛

Black Gold puppies are placed exclusively in loving pet and companion homes. Breeding rights are not offered or granted under any circumstances.

Each puppy is registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) with Limited Registration. Your puppy is fully AKC registered; however, Limited Registration means that any offspring produced by your dog are not eligible for AKC registration.

A spay/neuter agreement is also required and must be signed prior to your puppy’s pickup or delivery.

These policies reflect our commitment to responsible breeding, the long-term well-being of every puppy we produce, and the preservation and protection of the Miniature Schnauzer breed. 🖤💛

Every Black Gold puppy is raised with exceptional care and is guaranteed to be healthy and free from any known contagious or congenital disease at the time of purchase.

Our puppies are raised inside our home as part of our family. From the day they are born, they are lovingly handled, cuddled, talked to, and surrounded by the everyday sights, sounds, and activity of family life, including plenty of attention from our grown children and young grandchildren.

We also incorporate intentional puppy desensitization and enrichment throughout their development. Our puppies are gradually introduced to a variety of sounds, surfaces, textures, movements, and touch experiences designed to build confidence and encourage healthy responses to new situations. These early experiences help prepare them to become well rounded, adaptable puppies who can transition more confidently into their new homes and the world around them.

We intentionally nurture both their physical and emotional development, helping each puppy grow into a confident, well socialized, happy companion prepared for life with their new family.

For additional peace of mind, every Black Gold puppy is backed by our 5 Year Health Guarantee against congenital defects.

From our home to yours, our commitment is to raise healthy, happy, well loved puppies while providing the thoughtful socialization and early experiences they need for the very best beginning possible. 🖤💛
