REGAL RIDGE SCHNAUZERS
WAITLIST & ADOPTION PROCESS
Choose the waitlist if you want to wait for upcoming litters and be kept updated — or adoption when you are ready to reserve a puppy.
— PLEASE READ FIRST
WHAT THE WAITLIST MEANS
The waitlist is for families who are not looking for an immediate puppy. You join because you are willing to wait for upcoming litters, and we keep you informed along the way.
- You are choosing to wait — for planned and future litters that may fit your preferences and timeline.
- You will be updated — we share litter news, expected timing, and next steps so you always know where things stand.
- A puppy is not guaranteed on a set date — placement happens when a litter and match are right for your home.
- Ready sooner? Use the adoption / reservation path when matching for a specific puppy begins.
— INVESTMENT
OVERALL PUPPY FEES
Totals are based on breed. Waitlist and reservation fees are applied toward this amount — never added on top.

WAITLIST PROCESS

Reservation fee: $600 · Applied to overall total based on breed
— HOW FEES ADD UP
CREDITED TOWARD YOUR TOTAL
Miniature · $1,200
- Waitlist fee $300 → remaining $900
- Then reservation $600 → remaining $300 at go-home
Standard · $2,000
- Waitlist fee $300 → remaining $1,700
- Then reservation $600 → remaining $1,100 at go-home
If you go straight to adoption without the waitlist, the $600 reservation still counts toward the same overall breed total.

REVIEW BEFORE YOU APPLY
Two separate agreements cover our process. The Waitlist Agreement is for joining the list. The Puppy Sale Contract is signed when a specific puppy is reserved. Both can be downloaded as PDF.
