Purchasing A Puppy

    I understand that it is my responsibility to contact the breeder with any questions I have prior to reserving a puppy for purchase.


    I understand that if I wish to purchase a specific puppy, that puppy will not be reserved for me until I have completed the new owner Questionnaire AND submitted my security deposit.


    I understand that if I reserve a specific puppy, the breeder reserves the right to offer me a different puppy if the puppy I selected is not a good match for me.

    I understand that the breeder cannot guarantee that a puppy with my preferences will be available within a specific time-frame.  I further understand that the more narrow or specific my breed and trait preferences are, the longer it will take to receive my puppy as the deposit transfers to the next available litter born.  


    I understand that once a litter is born and the breeder contacts me to let me know that they have a puppy that they expect will be a good match for me, then to confirm this puppy I will be required to submit a $500 Litter Reservation Deposit to reserve a puppy from that litter.  All deposits apply towards the balance due for puppy. 


    I understand that all deposits are non-refundable. 

Registration & Paperwork

    I understand that my puppy’s parents have certified pedigrees through the American Kennel Club.


    I understand that my puppy is sold as a companion pet only and as such will come with limited registration paperwork from the American Kennel Club. I understand that I will register my puppy with the American Kennel Club.

    I understand that I will be given the opportunity to review the full health guarantee and sign it when I receive my puppy.


    I understand that I will be given a copy of the signed health guarantee for my records after I receive my puppy.

Likewise, I agree to continue providing well-rounded, superior care to my puppy for the duration of my puppy’s life.

If my puppy has received any treatment that was not dosed by weight, I understand that I can still return my puppy if I wish to, but I will not receive a refund.

Spay/Neuter & Breeding Policy

    I understand that the breeder recommends that I wait until my puppy is at least one year before I spay or neuter my puppy. I understand this is because there is a lot of research linking early spay and neuter with many health problems, including joint problems and cancer.

Liability Waiver

I agree that I will not hold the breeder liable for any illness, injury, or behavior issues that arise after the puppy has been transferred to my care, except for what is covered by the Year Health Guarantee.

Lifetime Support

I understand that the breeder provides support for the lifetime of my puppy. I understand that this includes lifetime return of my puppy/dog if or when needed.
