Reservation Process
Clear. Honest. Straightforward.
As our breeding program has grown, we’ve updated our reservation process to better serve families and streamline how puppies are placed. We now use a universal waitlist system that gives every prospective buyer a clear path to selection based on deposit order, rather than trying to manage multiple lists across different litters.
This approach simplifies the process, increases transparency, and ensures everyone understands exactly how puppy reservations work at House of Payne English Bulldogs.
Deposit
To join our waitlist, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required. This deposit goes toward the final purchase price of your puppy and locks in your place in line.
We no longer accept reservations for specific litters. Instead, all reservations go onto one master waitlist, which applies to all current and future litters.
Note: The deposit is non-refundable, except in the event that no litters are produced within 12 months of your deposit being received. In that case, you may request a full refund in writing.
Waitlist Placement and Priority
Your place on the waitlist is determined by the date your deposit is received and acknowledged. When we have a new litter and puppies are ready to be offered, we reach out to families in order of the waitlist. There is no jumping the line and no uncertainty about your place in the process. When it's your turn, you’ll be contacted directly with available puppy options.
Puppy Selection
When it’s your turn on the waitlist, we will contact you directly to schedule an appointment to meet the available puppies in person. During this visit, you’ll be able to interact with the puppies, review their individual traits, and make your selection. Prior to your appointment, we will share photos, videos, pricing, and details of the puppies so you can start considering your options in advance. If you do not find a puppy that feels like the right fit, you may pass and hold your place in line for the next available litter—there’s no penalty or loss of position, provided you’re within your 12-month selection window.
12-Month Right of Refusal
You have 12 months from the date of your deposit to select a puppy. During that time, you may pass on as many litters as needed. If no selection is made within that 12-month period, your deposit is forfeited, and your place on the waitlist is removed. This policy helps keep our list accurate and ensures puppies are being offered to active, ready homes.
What to Expect – and What We Don't Guarantee
We do not guarantee:
- Color or markings
- Gender
- Size or weight
- Specific pricing availability in any given litter
- Immediate availability
While preferences can be noted, we do not breed to fulfill color or cosmetic requests. Our focus remains on producing healthy, well-structured, temperamentally sound dogs. Rare colors may appear naturally in our litters due to the genetics of our bloodlines, but they are not promised.
