WAITLIST ANSWERS
The First Step
The first step toward joining our waiting list is to complete our Getting to Know You Form.
After we review your form, we’ll contact you to schedule a short phone call. This gives us an opportunity to answer your questions, learn more about what you’re looking for, and discuss upcoming litters.
You’re also welcome to call us if you have questions about Harman Corgis or our policies.
Staying in Touch During the Waiting Process
Email is our primary way of communicating with families on our waiting list, so please provide an email address you check regularly.
While you wait, you’ll receive our monthly Harman Corgis newsletter with updates on our dogs, upcoming litters, educational resources, and news from our program.
When a Litter Is Born
Once puppies are healthy and thriving, we begin contacting waiting-list families whose preferences may be a good fit for the litter. This usually happens when puppies are 1–2 weeks old.
When you’re contacted, please consider your schedule, finances, travel plans, and whether the timing is right for your family before committing to the litter. We ask that you respond promptly to let us know whether you’d like to move forward.
Committing to a Litter
When you’re ready to move forward with a specific litter, you’ll be added to that litter’s list.
You will have,
- Access to the litter’s private webpage with updated photos and videos
- Puppy Preparation Series with information to help you prepare for bringing your puppy home
- Educational resources and guidance throughout the process
Your payments will be applied toward the purchase price of your puppy according to the following schedule:
$200 — Waiting List Deposit
Due when you join the Harman Corgis waiting list.
$600 — Litter Commitment Payment
Due when you commit to a specific litter.
$600 — Five-Week Payment
Due when the puppies are five weeks old.
$600 + Sales Tax — Final Payment
Due before your puppy leaves Harman Corgis.
Need a different payment schedule?
We’re happy to set up a payment plan that better fits your needs. Please contact us to make arrangements.
Puppy Selection
Each puppy receives a comprehensive veterinary examination at approximately six weeks of age, followed by our formal temperament evaluation at approximately seven weeks.
Once these evaluations are complete, we’ll schedule a private Zoom meeting with your family. Puppy selection occurs in the order families joined our waiting list.
During your meeting, we’ll discuss each puppy’s temperament evaluation along with our observations from watching the puppies develop over the previous weeks. We’ll help you understand the differences between the puppies and provide guidance as you select the puppy that best fits your family and lifestyle.
Staying Connected
Once you commit to a litter, please remain responsive to emails and other communications throughout the process. If we’re unable to reach you after multiple attempts, we reserve the right to remove you from the waiting list so we can provide the opportunity to another family.
