Telltale selects the puppy for you, since we know our pups better than anyone else. If two equally suitable puppies are available, then we allow the puppies and you to let us know what's the best match. This decision is made around 7-8 weeks. (Note: even if approved, if we do not have a puppy who matches you, we will not sell you a puppy from that litter). Are you okay with this?

Anything else you'd like me to know? (Questions, clarifications, preferred pronouns, etc.)
Thank You!
