Puppy Waitlist Instructions

The Hoku Kennels Waitlist, Selection, & Premium Tier Framework

Because we operate strictly as a small-scale, preservation-first home program dedicated to uncompromised health, our placement spots are highly exclusive. To guarantee the absolute highest tier of neonatal care and socialization, each of our select females whelps a maximum of only 1 to 2 litters per year total—meaning we rarely have available chow cubs.

To secure a companion puppy from our upcoming winter matrix, families must join our official registry through our structured, tiered selection framework.

How the Premium Choice Tiers Work

All premium selection slots open chronologically strictly after Hoku Kennels has selected our structural program keepers to maintain our future show ring rotation.

CRUCIAL WAILIST ADVISORY: HARD CAP ENFORCED
Because Hoku Kennels operates strictly as an elite, low-volume preservation program, we enforce an absolute hard limit on our financial registry. To guarantee we never over-book a litter or keep families waiting for years, we accept a maximum of only four (4) paid reservation deposits per litter cycle. Once these 4 premium positions are filled, our built-in checkout system will automatically lock down, display a "SOLD OUT" status, and reject further applications until the next scheduled breeding cycle. If the buttons in the store feature are active, a position is currently open in our winter matrix—secure your draft position immediately to avoid missing this rotation.

1. The Ultra-Premium Draft Positions

For serious connoisseurs who demand absolute control over their selection parameters regarding sex, coat color, and coat type (Rough vs. Smooth), we offer three designated elite slots for each litter:

  • 1st Choice Pick: $2,000 Reservation Deposit (Grants you the absolute first choice of all remaining companion puppies in the litter).
  • 2nd Choice Pick: $1,500 Reservation Deposit (Grants you the second choice of all remaining companion puppies in the litter).
  • 3rd Choice Pick: $1,000 Reservation Deposit (Grants you the third choice of all remaining companion puppies in the litter).

2. The Standard Priority Tier

  • The Investment: $500 Reservation Deposit
  • The Mechanism: Secures your general chronological draft position (e.g., 4th choice, 5th choice) behind our Ultra-Premium pick holders.
  • The Protection: If nature does not produce a puppy that fits your desired preferences in the current litter, your priority status is fully preserved. You maintain complete control of your standing and can choose to pass and roll your deposit forward to the top selection spot of our next upcoming litter rotation.

3. The Basic Standby Tier

  • The Investment: Free to Join (No deposit required).
  • The Dynamic: Standby families are only contacted if companion spots remain open after every single member of the Ultra-Premium and Standard Priority Tiers has made their selections.  Because our exclusive waitlists fill up rapidly upon ultrasound confirmation, standby status rarely guarantees puppy availability.

How to Submit Your Deposit (Checkout Instructions) 

To bypass domestic credit card merchant processing fees and keep our program overhead entirely optimized, we process all reservation deposits through secure offline mobile transfers.

CRUCIAL MEMO FOR BUYERS: Please input your Full Name and your specific selection tier (e.g., "John Doe - 1st Choice Pick Deposit" or "Jane Doe - Standard Priority Deposit") in your mobile application's payment memo field. The exact second your mobile transfer clears, our database will lock in your permanent chronological draft position, update your file, and instantly email your signed Health Guarantee & Bill of Sale receipt.

Binding Financial & Contractual Terms

  • Deduction from Total Balance: Whichever reservation fee tier you choose, your deposit is strictly non-refundable and is deducted directly from your final, flat-rate $5,500 all-inclusive companion placement fee. (For example, a 1st Choice Pick depositor pays $2,000 upfront and handles a remaining balance of $3,500 at placement).
  • No Genetic Guarantees: Because nature dictates coat colors and structural types, there are no guarantees that a specific litter will yield the exact combination you desire. If your preferred pick is not born, your remedy is to roll your priority slot forward to a future litter.
  • Transit Liability Transfer: Once your puppy leaves our care and enters transit with an approved flight nanny or global carrier, Hoku Kennels is permanently released from all logistical liability regarding what happens during transit.
  • The 72-Hour Mandate: The Buyer is strictly required to schedule a comprehensive physical check with their licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of receiving the puppy. Flight dates are finalized well in advance—so there are no excuses to not have a vet visit scheduled in advance so there are zero exceptions to this rule. Failure to complete this exam and return the signed clinical records to Hoku Kennels renders your contract completely null and void.
  • Limited AKC Restrictions: All companion puppies are placed exclusively on a Limited AKC Registration with a strict spay/neuter covenant. (Full registration is on a case-by-case basis for prospective show homes) Breeding an animal from our yard instantly voids all health guarantees and triggers automatic civil breach-of-contract penalties.
