10 Rules to follow BEFORE you contact a breeder about a specific puppy
- Clear it with your Spouse FIRST!!!
- Clear it with your Landlord FIRST!!!
- Make sure that your entire family is OK with a new puppy!!!
- Make sure that you already have the money to pay for the puppy before you start contacting breeders about a puppy.
- Make sure that you are able to afford to feed, groom and vet care for a puppy throughout its whole life. I HIGHLY recommend checking out insurance for your puppy.
- Make sure that you research the breed you are considering purchasing.
- Make sure that you have the time necessary to give a puppy.
- Make sure that you are WILLING to put the effort into training and socializing a puppy.
- Do not count on your children to take care of the puppy 100% of the time. Assign children certain things to care for with the puppy, BUT consider yourself to always be the one responsible for making sure the puppy is cared for.
- Make sure that you can make a lifetime commitment to a puppy. Should something unexpected arise please contact your breeder for suggestions. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PUPPY TO AN ANIMAL SHELTER.
About Deposits
- A deposit is required to hold your puppy.
- We now take deposits after puppies are born.
- We reserve the right to refuse to sell to someone without giving a reason.
- Puppy deposits are non-refundable. If something should happen to the puppy you pick or it does not check out healthy when I have it Vet checked, I will refund your deposit in full. Other than that, deposits are non-refundable. Deposits do not transfer to another puppy or litter.
- We will HOLD your puppy for 3 business days to allow you to get your deposit to me. If I have not received a deposit by Day 3 mail service, the puppy becomes available again. It is your responsibility to contact me if I have not confirmed that I received your deposit. Please do not ask us to hold a puppy if you have no intention of sending a deposit.
- Once we receive your deposit we will notify you that we received it and will mail you a receipt along with a Puppy Supply List.
- We highly recommend you send your deposits via Priority Mail for tracking purposes. Please don’t send requiring a signature due to the fact most likely I won’t be in the house if and when the mail lady would bring up on the hill to the house. I’m lucky if I get into town one time a week and I would have to go into post office to pick it up. You can sign up for a notification for when it is left in my mailbox.
- We accept Certified Bank Checks or CASH for deposits. We will accept personal checks for a deposit only. Balance on puppy must be CASH unless the puppy is being shipped. In that case, the balance on puppy is due 5 days prior to shipping with a Bank Cashier Check ONLY.
Other
- No one under 18 years of age can purchase a puppy without a parent.
- We send updated pics from time to time so you can watch your puppy grow while you are waiting for it to be ready to come live with you.
- For Final Payment when puppy is picked up we accept CASH ONLY!!! No Cash, No Puppy !!! If Puppy is being delivered by a Puppy Nanny, final payment is due 5 business days prior to the puppy leaving me in the form of a Bank Certified Check.
