Puppy Application

Our price for dogs is $3500 USD. We match all puppies to homes best suited for them as their wellbeing is our priority. After we make our selection for which puppies we are choosing to retain, the remaining puppies will typically get matched with homes around 8-9 weeks of age. Puppies sold will go to their new home no sooner than 8 weeks of age; if cropped we will keep the puppy until the stitches are removed by our vet.

Feu des Étoiles Beaucerons reserves the right to refuse or cancel a sale to any prospective buyer for any reason at any time. Feu des Étoiles Beaucerons requires a non-refundable payment of $500 USD in order to hold a spot on our wait list for one of our puppies. Payment is only due after you have been accepted as a prospective buyer; deposit will go towards the final purchase price.

Crops must be requested well ahead of time. If a dog is requested to be cropped, we have limited trusted vets to complete them. Cropping availability TBD. If you choose to get a puppy's ears cropped: ear cropping will be an additional non-refundable $1000 USD due by the time the puppies are 7 weeks old and will be completed by a licensed veterinarian under anesthesia. Puppy must be paid in full no later than 1 week prior to the scheduled appointment in order to have any crop services rendered. If the crop is not paid in full by the provided date to be cropped, you will lose your option to crop and anything you have paid towards the crop. Should a puppy be sold with natural ears, they are not to be cropped after they leave; this will be considered a breach of contract and we will repossess the puppy.

We do not offer discount puppies. Each puppy had the same amount of care and effort put into breeding and raising them, and the pricing reflects as such regardless of gender, color, or registration.

This application will help us to make contact with prospective homes. There is an additional contract for all puppies. Show homes will have full registration and an additional contract to review. We as the breeder will also remain as co-owner on all puppies. Thank you for considering Feu des Étoiles for your new family member!

Why do you think a Beauceron will be a good fit for your lifestyle and goals? Have you ever met a Beauceron before? Why are you interested in this specific breed?
Are you interested in show, sport/working or pet?
If interested in a show puppy, have you ever shown before? We do not want to discourage or intimidate anyone interested in showing because it is a fantastic way to meet others in the breed and develop a lot of friendships as well as building an incredibly strong bond with your dog. The flip side of that is showing requires a lot of commitment to training, travel and sometimes hiring handlers if unable to show yourself, the time and financial aspect is something to take into consideration when inquiring about show prospects.
Do you prefer a male or female puppy?
What is your preferred color? We DO NOT place puppies based off of color alone so if you are set on a Black and Rust or a Harlequin ONLY and there is not one that fits the criteria for placement you can move your deposit to a future litter or forfeit the deposit. WE place puppies based off temperament matches, energy level, conformation and goals for the dog; if we can also accommodate gender and color we will happily do that. If that is a deal breaker for you we understand.

There are no right or wrong answers to any of these questions. This is just to help me get an idea of what you are looking for in a new puppy. After this is submitted you will get an email to set up your phone interview.

Scheduling of the phone interview is not a guarantee of acceptance to the waitlist for a future puppy. We strive to place our puppies in the best possible homes for them; being a working breed dog they need a very specific home environment. We are not opposed to placing dogs with first time owners that have done appropriate research and have already made arrangements with a breed specific or breed knowledgeable trainer.

Were you referred by anyone to our kennel? If yes we’d love to thank them for the referral!
