PET QUALITY PUPPIES
The puppy being sold may or may not have a physical fault or disqualification that would keep him/her out of the show ring. The faults these puppies may posses will not affect health or temperament in any way. It will not prevent the puppy from living an otherwise normal life, and they are perfectly suited as a family companion. Pet puppies can also compete in companion events such as obedience, agility, flyball, lure coursing, etc for titles; and we do LOVE to see our pet puppies participating in such activities with their new families! ALL pet puppies are sold with limited registration and a spay/neuter contract.
If you are interested in purchasing a pet puppy form Apricity Kennel, please read over the Pet Quality Contract.
SHOW QUALITY PUPPIES
The puppy being sold has been determined at 8 weeks of age to be a prospect for the conformation ring & preservation breeding programs. The puppy will be sold outright to prospective breeders who agree to promote the Hokkaido breed in a positive manor, and breed to all standards held by the Hokkaido Association of North America (HANA) and the American Kennel Club (AKC). Show evaluated puppies come with full registration, and they may be bred once titled and health tested. All show evaluated puppies MUST be shown in AKC/UKC conformation dog shows. Along with conformation shows, we highly encourage our puppy buyers to participate and compete in companion events as well.

CO-OWN PUPPIES
Many of our show quality puppies (and a few of our import puppies) will be sold on a co-own basis. This means although the dog will reside with you; we reserve the right to show and use said dog for breeding whenever we feel fit to do so. We prefer our co-own dogs to live relatively close to us (northern Virginia), though exceptions can be made. We only ask that you allow us to pick the dog up at least one weekend a month for training, showing, and/or breeding purposes. We highly encourage our co-owners to train and compete with their co-own puppy in conformation shows and companion events.
