please bear with me if I am slow to reply to your messages...Jeff recently had a heart attack and triple bypass...... and many days I am dealing with some smaller health issues of my own, so I don't get to messages everyday.
2017 was a wonderful year. To all of you that opened your heart and home , adding a Wingshot puppy, we thank you so much !
Grace delivered a small litter mid May, 1 female puppy is available, ready for a home now.
Late May, Tessa also delivered a small litter, 2 males are available for a home, ready on July 21.
We currently have 1 male German Wirehair puppy available. If you have visited in the past and met Tobi.., he is the sire to the puppy... Anna is the dam . He is 5 months old...so sweet and a bit lazy !

Jeff describes a Braque Francais as "a Vizsla of another color". Please see their info page on this website for their description.

We want to know where our pups go and what type of home/lifestyle they will have, so if you decide you'd like to place a deposit for a Wingshot puppy we ask that you share your personal information with us. We are not trying to be nosey, but these breeds are not a match for every home. We do not accept a deposit without knowing information about the new owner...example: home/family info (work or school, children, current pets, fenced yard, etc), outdoor activities, plans for the puppy, your experience with raising a puppy, how you know of the breed, etc. **PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE NOT BREEDS THAT SHOULD BE LEFT IN A CRATE ALL DAY WHILE THE FAMILY IS AT WORK/SCHOOL **
Currently all new puppies are $1200. We require a $200. deposit to reserve a new puppy. At the time of the deposit you need to specify if you want a male or female puppy. The deposit is non refundable & non transferable unless there are not enough pups born to fulfill your reservation. Your check should be made payable to "Wingshot Kennels". The mailing address is on the "home page" of this website and will also be at the bottom of most of the email correspondence. The balance is due when you pick up your puppy. For deposits: we accept personal check, bank certified check , money order or paypal (please use the payment address of "wingshotkennels@gmail.com " for PayPal payments). For the balance: if you are picking up your puppy at our home, payment can be cash, personal check, or bank certified check. If you want to make the final payment by PayPal please add 3% to the amount due to cover the PayPal fee, this is not required for the deposit amount. If we deliver your puppy, please make payment in cash. If you message us with questions, please use the email address: wingshotkennels@gmail.com.
I take photo's of each litter after they are born and as they grow and send out to the new owners in an album via email or post on FaceBook or Instagram at various times to keep the owners updated on their progress.
Most of our puppies are picked up in person at our home at 7 weeks old; the puppy selections/placements are made on this day. We do not require new owners to pick out their puppy before the take home date unless prior plans prevent you from being here on the take home date. If you are getting the "last puppy", we do not know which specific puppy it will be .... until the take home date. For the pick up day we schedule each new owner a time to come in the order of your reservation number. We try to make this day pleasant for everyone so if you will be picking up your puppy we ask that you clear your calendar for this day. We understand that things come up sometimes, but if you can't be here on pickup weekend, we do charge an extra $50 per week to hold your puppy longer. Your new puppy needs to be in your home by 9 weeks old.
If you can't come in person, we can air ship your puppy as cargo via Delta Airlines ..... the cost of shipping is not included in the price of the puppy. The total cost of air travel is $425, this is usually from the Atlanta airport to get a non stop flight. The total shipping cost includes the flight & insurance, a travel crate, vet visit to obtain a health certificate which is required to fly, a 2nd shot, extra deworming and any additional necessary stomach medicine, and travel to the Atlanta airport. We put a baby receiving blanket in the travel crate (we never use shredded newspaper) along with some chew goodies. Puppies are familiar with the baby blankets, we use these in the crates when the puppies take a nap. Puppies must be 8 weeks old to fly. The total final payment (puppy & flight expense) is due one week before the flight. If you are having your puppy air shipped, you will need to make your selection from photos & video that will be sent to you. The 2nd flight option is for the owner to fly into either Atlanta or Birmingham airport, we meet you at the airport with the puppy and you fly back out the same day with the puppy in the cabin with you. If the flight will require the puppy to be in the airline's care for more than 5 hours we STRONGLY urge you to use the 2nd option for flights. We have always had excellent service from Delta but recent changes now require the puppy to arrive in Atlanta 3 hours before the flight departure. When you add this to the actual flight time and the processing time once the plane has landed we feel it is too long for an 8 week old puppy in a crate.
If you'd prefer your puppy not to fly, we can sometimes make arrangements to deliver the puppy to you. The cost of delivery depends on how far we travel.
PLEASE NOTE : WE WILL NOT RELEASE A PUPPY TO A "PET TRANSPORT COMPANY " . If something happens last minute that prevents you from being here on the scheduled pick up day, please contact us immediately . We will work out other arrangements to get your puppy to you. DO NOT MAKE A PAYMENT TO A "PET TRANSPORT COMPANY ".
We provide you with a "puppy packet" which contains articles on various information...examples: supplies you will need; vaccinations; food, plants & things to avoid, tips on house training & nipping; etc. We also provide a health guarantee which covers a 26 month hip guarantee and provide you with a record of the dates of the puppy's shot, deworming and any other medicine given.
All of our Vizsla's are AKC registered & all Vizsla litters are AKC registered; Vizsla puppies will be registered individually and have an AKC limited registration, this is a non-show & non-breeding registration. You must have a full name picked out for your puppy when you come to pick it up. Braque Francais puppies will be registered with NAVHDA and you will need to have a full name picked out when you pick up the puppy. All puppies have their tails docked and dewclaws removed. All pups have their 1st shot & several dewormings before going to your home. The puppies are handled, played with and talked to daily and have visits from the grandkids.
