🐶 About Our Puppies
Our Boykin Spaniels are the result of carefully planned pairings — both health and DNA tested.
• Each puppy is assigned a **colored whelping collar** at birth for identification
• Puppies will not leave until they are **8 weeks old**
📋 Waiting List Information
To join the Puppy Waiting List:
**Step 1: Phone Interview**
Call Warren at (931) 272-1198 to see if a Boykin Spaniel is the right fit for your home.
**Step 2: $100 Non-Refundable Deposit**
This deposit secures your place and is applied to the final balance.
📌 Let Warren know if you want a male or female (or ask for help choosing)
📅 Order is **first come, first served**
🔁 If a litter doesn't have enough puppies, your deposit rolls to the next available litter
🍼 After Puppies Are Born
**Additional Deposit Required (due within 1 week of birth):**
• Waiting List Clients: $400
• New Clients: $500
🔒 Puppies are not “on hold” until this is received
❗ All deposits are non-refundable except for rare medical reasons affecting your pup
🐾 How Do I Choose My Puppy?
At Cavern Kennels, we use a **puppy draft system** — like the NFL Draft.
📋 Your pick order is based on when your deposit was received.
🗓️ **The puppy draft happens when the puppies are 7 weeks old**, just before they go home at 8 weeks.
🐶 Drafts are held separately for **males** and **females** to match families more efficiently.
**Example:**
• John placed the first male deposit — he gets the first male pick
• Sarah was second for a female — she gets the second female pick, and so on
Each puppy will have:
• A **colored collar**
• Updated videos
Warren is available to help families prior to draft selection!
