BLACK GOLD MINIATURE SCHNAUZER's PUPPY WAITING LIST

Transparency is extremely important to me. I proudly publish our complete waiting list online so prospective Black Gold families can see exactly where they stand and how our selection process works.

To join our waiting list, a non-refundable $200 waiting list deposit is required. Your deposit confirms your commitment and secures your position on the list based on the date it is received.

We do not hold positions on the waiting list without a deposit. Once your $200 deposit is received, you will be sent our Puppy Questionnaire and officially added to the waiting list.

Your $200 waiting list deposit will be applied toward the total $700 puppy deposit once your puppy is born and selected.

Puppy selections are offered in the order waiting list deposits are received. The color and gender preferences shown beside each family’s name reflect their current preferences and may be changed at any time before puppy selections begin. You are not permanently locked into the preferences you originally selected.

To keep our waiting list current, accurate, and fair to families who are actively waiting for a Black Gold puppy, we are implementing a Two-Pass Policy, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

Families are never obligated to accept a puppy simply because their turn has arrived. I completely understand that circumstances and timing can change. However, if a puppy matching your stated color and gender preferences is available to you and you choose to pass on two consecutive opportunities, your name will be moved to the bottom of the waiting list.

A litter that does not produce a puppy matching your stated preferences does NOT count as a pass. For example, if you are waiting for a Black & Silver male and no Black & Silver male is available when your turn comes, you have not passed and your position on the waiting list remains unchanged.

Families who have already communicated that they are intentionally waiting until a particular year or timeframe may remain on the list without penalty. The Two-Pass Policy will apply once that family’s requested timeframe arrives and they become active for puppy selection.

This policy is not intended to pressure anyone into choosing a puppy before they are ready. Its purpose is to prevent inactive positions from remaining indefinitely at the top of the list, while giving families who are actively ready for a puppy a more accurate representation of the waiting list.

Only families on our waiting list will be given priority opportunity to select available puppies. If puppies remain available after the waiting list has been contacted, they may be announced on Good Dog, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and here on our website.

Black Gold Miniature Schnauzers proudly reserves the right to retain any puppy from any litter for our breeding and/or show program. We also reserve the right to decline placement of a puppy at our discretion.
