Maremma Sheepdog Reservations and Sales Policies

All puppy reservation fees, puppy payments, shipping fees and other fees will now be made through the Good Dog secure payment system, or in cash. We do not accept checks, Venmo, wire Transfers, or any other payment methods. Good Dog offers purchase protection and additional support to new puppy owners for a fee. For those who do not wish to pay this fee there is a fee-free option.
Instructions on how to pay fee-free on GOOD DOG are at the bottom of this page.

A Word About Our Maremma Pricing

Our Maremma Sheepdog puppies have a base price which is listed below. This is for a puppy of 12-14 weeks old. After that the price increases with age to cover the increased care and training of the puppy. The price of your puppy will reflect the age when you pick it up, not when you reserve it. Therefore if you pick up (or ship) your puppy later than originally anticipated you may need to make an additional payment to cover the added training time. Our puppy pricing scale is as follows:

MSCA/UKC Registered Maremma Sheepdog Puppies

12 weeks old $3000
14 weeks old $3100
16 weeks old $3200
18 weeks old $3300
20 weeks old $3400
22 weeks old $3500

Pups 6 months and over and adult dogs occasionally available and are priced individually, but our average prices are:

6-11 months $3500
12-23 months $4000
2-3 years $5000
Older Adults priced individually

Unregistered Maremma puppies have a different starting price but follow the same incremental increases, as they receive the same care and training as our registered puppies.

Puppy Reservation Fees & Lists

Master Waiting List

If we do not have a puppy available from a current litter that suits your needs you may go on our Master Waiting List at any time by paying a $500 non-refundable Master Reservation fee. This puts you in line for a puppy from a future litter but does not commit you to a particular litter or lock you into a price. The price will be set when the litter is born or shortly before or after and is subject to change at any time before a full litter reservation fee is paid.
Once a litter becomes available that suits your needs you will be given the opportunity to switch to that particular Litter List, according to your place in line on the Master Reservation List. If you choose to go on the Litter List then the balance of the reservation fee will be due, as outlined below. If you would like to wait for a future litter then we will go to the next person on the list.

Specific Litter Lists

Once a litter is born and we see how many puppies we have available we will begin taking reservations for that particular litter, from both people who were already on the Master Reservation List and from new customers. A non-refundable Reservation Fee of 50% of the total purchase price (based on 12 weeks of age) is required to be on our Reservation List for a particular litter. If you were already on our Master Reservation List then you will pay the balance due on the Reservation Fee, above the $500 you previously paid. If you were not on the Master Reservation List then you will pay the full 50% down Reservation Fee.
This Reservation Fee signifies a commitment between Prancing Pony farm and the customer, and covers the time spent with that customer, therefore it is non-refundable for any reason. However this fee may be transferred to a later litter, at PPF's discretion. If the customer chooses to transfer to a new litter the price will reflect the current advertised puppy price of the new litter, NOT the price of the previous litter.

Final Payments

Final Payment for the puppies is due when they turn TEN weeks old. This is so that we have a firm commitment from the customer and can begin making shipping arrangements or setting up customer pick-up of the puppy as well as completing necessary paperwork, contracts, etc.
The puppy will need to be picked up between 12 7 14 weeks of age. If the puppy is picked up later there will be an incremental price increase as outlined above. If you had previously paid your balance and the puppy stays past 14 weeks there will be a balance due.
To reserve a puppy that is 10 weeks or older the total purchase price is required and is non-refundable but may be transferred to a later litter.

Last Minute Cancellation Policy

If the customer cancels after the final payment is made the entire payment is NON-REFUNDABLE for any reason, but may be transferred to a later litter. The price will reflect the current advertised puppy price of the new litter.
