Our Policies and Other Information

Contract

Any person buying one of our puppies must sign a contract agreeing to maintain the well-being of the puppy. The buyer must agree to take the puppy for yearly exams, maintain the vaccination schedule, provide parasite (fleas, ticks, worms, heart worm, etc) preventive, provide the puppy with a high quality dog food, and a loving, comfortable living environment.

AKC Registration

Our puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). Beware of other registration organizations. There are many other registration organizations, some of which are not reputable. The American Kennel Club is the most prestigious and recognized registration organization in America.

Health Guarantee

Our puppies are current on their vaccinations and worming schedule.

We provide a one month health guarantee with each puppy we sale.

Our adult dogs are free of genetic disease, to the best of our knowledge. We guarantee our puppies to be free of genetic disease for one year.

Payment

We accept personal checks, cashier checks, money orders, PayPal, or cash. The full price of the puppy must be paid before the puppy can leave our premises. If you have paid with a personal check, the check must clear your bank before it will be considered 'paid'.

Deposit

If you wish us to hold a puppy for you until it is old enough to wean, a $200 deposit is required. The deposit on a puppy is non-refundable.

Transportation

The new owner is responsible for transportation of the puppy after purchase. You may pick your puppy up in person or we are sometimes able to meet you part of the way. If feasible, as a courtesy to our new families, we will make arrangements to ship the puppy via airplane. The cost of shipping the puppy is generally around $250 anywhere within the Continental United States. This includes the cost of the required vet check, certificate of health, the shipping crate, and transportation to the closest airport (80 miles). We will not ship a puppy unless we know the puppy can be shipped in realitive comfort. When the weather is extreme, shipping puppies via airplane can become problematic. Airlines can not, and will not, ship a puppy if the temperature is below 20 or above 85 anywhere the puppy touches down. Therefore, there are times when flying a puppy is not possible.

Please understand that we make travel arrangements as a courtesy. It is not our obligation.
