At The Proper Pointer Co., we completely understand the excitement of wanting to have “first pick” of the litter—each puppy is so special, it’s hard not to want them all! To keep the process fair and organized, we’ve created a simple waiting list system based on the order in which deposits are received. This ensures that each family has a clear place in line when it comes time to make their selection. Once deposits begin coming in, the first deposit secures first choice, the second secures second choice, and so on.
Puppy selections begin at around three weeks of age, once their unique markings start to take shape. German Shorthaired Pointers’ colors and patterns can change quite a bit in those early weeks, and waiting allows you to get a better sense of how your Proper Pointer will look as they grow—though we can’t guarantee how markings will continue to develop.
For the health and safety of our puppies, we do not allow in-person visits during this early stage. At three weeks, puppies are highly vulnerable to illnesses such as the Parvo virus, which can be devastating to an entire litter. To protect them, we offer FaceTime sessions, detailed photos, and video updates to help you feel confident and connected throughout the selection process.
Once you’ve chosen your puppy and placed your deposit, you’ll receive weekly photo and video updates through our Facebook and Instagram pages, so you can watch your little one grow and develop until the exciting day you finally bring your Proper Pointer home!
