How Our Waiting List Works at AZ Doxies

We’re excited that you’re considering welcoming an AZ Doxies puppy into your family! To keep everything clear and fair, here’s exactly how our waiting list and deposit system works.

 

Quick Summary

Deposit: $500 (non-refundable) to join the waiting list.

Applies Toward Purchase Price: Yes—credited to your final balance.

Rollover Flexibility: You may roll your place over up to 4 different litters of the corresponding coat length before forfeiture.

 

 

Selection Order

Picks are made in strict deposit order across our single waitlist. Changing your coat-length preference does not change your place in line.

Communication

We keep you updated at key milestones—from confirmed pregnancy to go-home day (via Instagram @AZ_Doxies).

Step 1: Choose Your Coat-Length Preference

Longhair

Smooth Coat

 

You can change this preference at any time without losing your spot or resetting your timestamp.

Step 2: Place Your Deposit

A $500 non-refundable deposit secures your spot on our single waitlist.

Your position is set by the date and time your deposit is received.

The deposit is applied to your final purchase price.

Step 3: Stay in the Loop

We’ll keep you posted with:

Breeding announcements and pregnancy confirmations 

Whelping updates (birth announcements)

Puppy photo/video milestones

Projected pick dates and go-home windows

Step 4: Make Your Pick

Picks are typically done around week 3–4 after the puppies are born, once we can evaluate temperament, structure, and early development.

Pick appointments (virtual via What’s App or Instagram) occur in deposit order.

If a current litter doesn’t match your goals, you may roll your spot to the next eligible litter (and you may adjust your coat-length preference anytime).

The Puppy Pick Process

Week 1–2

Puppies settle in—nursing, bonding, growing. We share early updates (via Instagram); picks don’t happen yet.

Week 3–4

Personalities start to show; picks open in deposit order. Families receive updated photos/videos (via Instagram).

Pick Day

We will reach out when it is your time to choose. Once you pick your puppy it is officially reserved.

After Picks

We continue updates via Instagram and virtual calls until go-home date, (typically around 8 weeks).

Our Rollover Policy (Up to 4 Litters)

You may roll over your selection up to 4 different litters of the corresponding coat length. Your original deposit timestamp and place stay the same when you roll or if you change coat-length preference.

When a Deposit May Be Forfeited

You exceed 4 rollovers.

You no-show or do not respond by your scheduled pick time after we’ve reached out via your provided contact methods.

Payment & Pricing

The $500 deposit is applied to your final balance.

Remaining balance is due per your purchase agreement.

Special Notes

Preferences

Share preferred sex/color/temperament; we’ll help match responsibly.

Transferability

Deposits are under the original purchaser’s name and are not transferable.

Changing Coat Lengths

You may switch between Longhair or Smooth Coat at any time—no penalty, no reset, no new list.

Out-of-State Families

We can guide you on travel/transport options where allowed and safe.
