RockinDachs Pricing Guide: Investing in a Radiant Legacy
At RockinDachs, the price of our companions reflects our unwavering commitment to their health, temperament, and lifelong well-being. When you welcome one of our "gems" into your home, you are investing in a meticulously bred, expertly nurtured, and thoroughly supported family member.
We believe in matching the puppy to the family's lifestyle. Our pricing structure is designed as a staircase of value: you may choose to bring your puppy home as a young "nursery graduate" to shape them yourself, or you may invite them to stay in our professional development program to master essential life skills.
> Note: All puppies start at the Sapphire Tier unless they have officially graduated to a higher skill level through our training program.
I. The Core Value: What Your Investment Includes
Before reviewing our tiers, understand that every RockinDachs companion—regardless of price or age—receives a comprehensive foundation that sets them up for success. This is the non-negotiable standard included in every adoption:
• Exceptional Genetic Health Screening: Our parent dogs undergo extensive DNA health testing through Embark to screen for inherited diseases. We prioritize sound physical conformation in every breeding pair.
• Holistic Early Development: Dedicated care within our home, including Intentional Bio-Stimulation & Sensation (ENS/ESI), intensive socialization, and daily pack time.
• Full Veterinary Preparation: Age-appropriate vaccinations, regular deworming, microchipping with free lifetime registration, and a thorough health examination.
• Lifetime Genetic Guarantee: Backed by our rigorous DNA testing, we offer a lifetime guarantee against debilitating genetic diseases identified in our panel.
• Lifelong Support & Community: Exclusive access to our private RockinDachs Legacy Lounge Facebook group and ongoing guidance for the life of the dog.
