This deposit guarantees that we, the seller, will hold the puppy you have chosen for you, the buyer. The deposit also is a guarantee that you, the buyer, will complete the purchase of your chosen puppy. If you, the buyer, choose not complete the purchase of your puppy within the agreed upon time, the deposit will not be refunded or transferred to another puppy. The deposit will only be refunded or transferred to another puppy if there is a medical condition with the original puppy.

All our puppies receive a final veterinarian health check prior to leaving our home. If our vet detects a problem you have the right to pick another puppy or receive a full refund.

The deposit is applied to the purchase price of your puppy. The balance in full is due prior to shipping your puppy to you. If you are driving pick up your puppy, the balance is due in cash or Certified Bank Check, upon receiving your puppy. A puppy that is not paid in full will NOT be shipped. No Exceptions.

We will book the flight or make truck reservations for your puppy when he/she is paid in full. No Exceptions.

There are several steps that must be taken to ready your puppy for transportation including, but not limited to, a visit with the veterinarian. Once that appointment is made and your puppy is given his clean bill of health, we can then proceed to final shipping arrangements.

We utilize two forms of shipment: Air; via AMERICAN and CONTINENTAL airlines and Air-Conditioned/Heated, Specialized Ground Pet Transport. We will utilize the method that is best for your puppy and available for your area. We do not use Amtrak. We do not "mail" your puppy to you. No Exceptions.

To insure that the flight or ground pet transport is not booked up, we require you pay balance in full at least one week prior to your expected ship date.

There are only so many "spaces" available per flight, per day for puppies. These spaces fill up fast, so you must understand that you cannot send your payment in full one day and expect shipment the next. There are also times when I must travel long distances to get your puppy to the appropriate transportation station. Minimum travel time is 1 and 1/2 hours and can be a long as 4 hours just to get your puppy to the ground transport or airport. Please be understanding and work with us when making these arrangements.

For those areas that can only be serviced via Airlines such as the Pacific Northwest, Northern California, Utah, Wyoming, the Dakotas and the far Northeast, please note:  During times of extreme heat or cold, the airlines will not allow puppies to be transported. It is far too big a risk for the puppy's health. If this happens and your flight must be rescheduled, we will inform you immediately and reschedule your puppy's flight as soon as possible.

PUPPY MILL? I THINK NOT!

 On the subject of "puppy mills"...we are NOT one, nor do we know of any. We have several good family friends who raise dogs as a business. Contrary to what you may have read on the internet or seen on TV.....the horrible treatment of dogs and puppies is not "the norm".  We follow a very strict guideline, as do all the breeders I personally know, of premium or super premium foods, vaccinations and boosters as well as regular visits to the vet for wellness checks and health certificates. We must adhere to these strict guidelines to be able to place puppies on ANY transport vehicle. Without the Health Certificate...a puppy does NOT travel.  Most breeders also pay for Microchips as well as four or five generation pedigrees, plus chew toys, baby blankets or travel crates.  We do NOT profit from shipping fees...and in truth, often "go in the hole", more often than not, now more than ever with the rise in fuel. 

We place our puppies with families and do not sell to pet stores at this time If you are considering purchasing from a pet store, I encourage you to ask lots of questions just as you would if purchasing online.  Adopting a puppy is a huge commitment as well as a costly one and should not be taken lightly. If I can be of any help, please let me know.
