Why reserve buy your pup? Highly colored pups often are often chosen first. Reserve a pup early so you get to choose the pup you like from the litter.

How to Reserve Your Rancho Santiago Catahoula Pup

Contact Rancho Santiago to receive information concerning how to make your puppy reservation.

Rancho Santiago’s “Reservation Waiting List” system is our effort to be fair to our buyers. Buyers paying to reserve their pup from a litter to make sure they get to choose their puppy from a litter before that litter sells out.

Order of a buyer’s pick from a litter is made in the order of the date your payment is received in the ranch office.

Some buyers prefer to make no reservation and take their chances on a litter not being all sold out. Pups not reserved are for sale to the public on a first-come and first-buy basis.

Upon request, payment options are sent to a potential buyer by email.

The full payment at this time is $875.00: $850.00 plus $25.00 for a Vet health inspection and health certification.

A BUYER’S RESERVATION DEPOSIT FOR A PUP IS NOT REFUNDABLE.

When a litter arrives, if the puppy you dream about is not in that litter, you may elect to pass to the next available litter to make your puppy choice.

After weaning at 5+ weeks and passing a Veterinarian health certification the pups are ready to be chosen. We notify the #1 reserved buyer to select or pass their pup choice to the next litter. The next buyer listed by date of receipt of payment moves into the first position to make their choice.

If no response is received 24 hours after the buyer is notified of their time to choose a pup, that buyer’s name will be moved to the bottom of the reserved list.

Puppies not chosen will be offered to the public on a first-come-first-served basis.

We offer our buyers more of a guarantee than we receive as buyers from sellers at the time of purchase. A Rancho Santiago pup must pass a veterinarian’s fitness examination evaluating general health, conformation, hearing, eyesight, and internal organ health as sound before sale.

Rancho Santiago’s guarantee is that at the time of examination the pup passed a Veterinarian health inspection at five weeks of age or older and is physically sound of health according to the vet’s examination. Each individual pup’s photo at the top of Rancho Santiago’s Health Certificate verifies the inspection is for the pup pictured. This document is signed and dated by the veterinarian.

Before taking possession of the pup a buyer or their representative should always read the veterinarian health certificate and closely inspect the individual Catahoula for soundness. The buyer or their representative should not take possession of the dog if there is any concern about health or physical soundness.

We cannot guarantee the dog’s future physical health, development, emotional state, behavior, or how it responds to training after the dog leaves Rancho Santiago’s gates because the pup is out of our direct supervision, care and control. When the buyer, their representative, or dog transporter takes possession of the buyer’s dog, they become responsible for the dog’s health, safety, and well-being.
