10 Rules to follow BEFORE you contact a breeder about a specific puppy

  1. Clear it with your Spouse FIRST!!!
  2. Clear it with your Landlord FIRST!!!
  3. Make sure that your entire family is OK with a new puppy!!!
  4. Make sure that you already have the money to pay for the puppy before you start contacting breeders about a puppy.
  5. 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.
  6. Make sure that you research the breed you are considering purchasing.
  7. Make sure that you have the time necessary to give a puppy.
  8. Make sure that you are WILLING to put the effort into training and socializing a puppy.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
