Placement & Program FAQ
Do you currently have a puppy available?
Available puppies are listed on the Available page of this website.
If no puppies are listed, none are available at that time.
I do not maintain a traditional waitlist or notify individuals when litters are born. Applications open only after puppies have been fully evaluated and deemed ready for placement.
How much are your puppies?
Companion placements are $4,000.
Companion placements are thoughtfully structured and reflect the time, care, and investment required in responsible preservation breeding.
Pricing information and contract details can be found under the Apply section of this website.
Where are you located?
Charm City Pomeranians is located in Baltimore County, Maryland.
Puppies may be picked up in person. For those traveling, I am happy to discuss arrangements once a placement has been approved.
Do you offer breeding rights?
Full AKC registration is considered only under written agreement and aligned breeding goals.
Breeding homes must meet breed standards, health testing requirements as recommended by the American Pomeranian Club, and demonstrate a commitment to preservation.
Companion puppies are placed on limited registration.
Do you have a waitlist?
No. I do not maintain a traditional waitlist.
Because my program is intentionally small and placements are made thoughtfully, applications are accepted only for puppies currently listed as Available.
How do you determine which puppy goes to which home?
Placement decisions are based on best fit — considering structure, temperament, lifestyle, and long-term compatibility.
Puppies are not placed by order of inquiry or speed of deposit.
At what age do puppies go home?
Puppies remain with me until they are fully evaluated and veterinary cleared, typically 10–12 weeks of age, and occasionally longer if additional assessment is warranted.
What health testing do you perform?
All breeding stock is tested in accordance with parent club recommendations, with publicly verifiable OFA results.
In addition to required clearances, comprehensive genetic screening through Embark is utilized to support informed breeding decisions.
Do you ship puppies?
I do not cargo ship puppies.
In-person pickup is preferred.
For approved placements, travel options may be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
