    You need to contact the Breed Club. It is not as simple as getting one when you want. Be prepared to travel anywhere in Ireland. Often you might have to go on a waiting list. Breeders who have a litter around Christmas often won't let them go until after Christmas Day.

    Christmas is the worst time of the year to get a pup OP - no routine , dark nights means harder to toilet train etc.

    Have you researched the breed extensively?

    No decent breeder will have Christmas puppies .. for numerous reasons.

    Google kennel club and contact them directly

    OP, we have quite a strictly upheld rule, normally enforced from November-ish onwards, to prevent this forum being used as a medium for people to source pups as Christmas presents, or in the run-up to Christmas.
    Whilst your enquiry has come up prior to the usual time we ban such threads, it does somewhat contravene the spirit of that rule. For that reason, and given that knine has pretty much told you what you need to know, I'm closing this thread now.
    Thanks,
    DBB
