Policies



Deposit
    I can accept a $200.00 deposit by paypal (please add 3% for paypal fee's) to my e-mail address or a money order by mail with a confirmation number. I can not hold a puppy without a deposit. I don't accept personal checks for a deposit or for pickup.  If you have a deposit I will occasionally send you new pictures so you can see them grow. I do not refund deposits if you change your mind. I will apply your deposit to another puppy within one year if you choose, but you must let me know that you want to do this.

Registration
All of my babies are sold on limited AKC registration only, unless you make it known to me before or at time of pick up that you want full registration. An additional charge on most puppies is required.  

Shipping
I will ship a puppy if necessary.  I prefer that you make a visit here to pick up your puppy.  You can also make arrangements for me to deliver your puppy.  I generally charge $50 per hour I have to drive.  If the distance is too far and the puppy must be shipped the fee usually runs $300.  Airline fees keep changing though so we would have to check the ratesat the time you would be picking up your pup.  The fee includes a vet check, health certificate, crate, and airfare.



Extras
When you pick up your puppy you will get a puppy packet with a toy or blanket with the siblings smell, a sample of food, shot  and de worming record, health guarantee with basic puppy care instructions, and registration papers if applicable.

If I feel your puppy is ready to go by 8-9 weeks of age and you can not pick him/her up, I do charge $3.00 a day for care. Except if he/she is being shipped and I can not ship right away. If your puppy is small, it will not leave here until I feel it is big enough and in this case the extra per day charge will not apply.

If you would like the puppy vet checked before pick up let me know and I can get that done, but you will be required to pay the fee upfront. I generally take my dogs to the vet only when I feel I do not have the knowledge or means to help them myself.  I have spent many years raising dogs and have a lot of experience.  I have also taken a veterinary technician course.  That said, I do all vaccinations, dewormers, flea treatments, and any other medication myself.  I check ears, temperature, weight, feet, posture, etc.  When there is a problem out of the ordinary is when I take my dogs or puppies to the vet.  I've experienced lots of things and recommend that you do take your puppy to the vet for any concerns once you get it.

I give vaccinations starting at 8 or 9 weeks old.  If you are having me keep your puppy longer or you would like to come back for the scheduled vaccinations I will charge $10 per vaccination.  I have also done microchipping in the past and that runs $25, however, with my recent relocation I am not currently providing that extra service.  I may begin to do that again in the future.
