Deposits
Please fill out a questionnaire to place a deposit. The deposit is $250 and the total price of a puppy is $4,000 for a pet or $4,500 for show.
A deposit can be placed to reserve a specific puppy listed as available or to be on the list for a future litter.
Terms:
A $250 deposit will reserve a puppy listed as available or reserve a position on our deposit list for the upcoming or current litter. The deposit holder will be asked to confirm that he or she wishes to be on the list for a specific litter.
Puppies will be selected in the order the deposits are received with the breeder having the option of first selection of any litter.
The selection will take place around six weeks of age at the discretion of the breeder in order to have time to evaluate show prospects. If the breeder is not interested in keeping a specific sex and there are no deposits for show puppies, the picking may begin earlier than six weeks.
If, at the time of selection, the deposit holder does not respond to the breeder’s contacts to commit to purchasing a puppy, then the deposit holder forfeits any rights to a puppy and the deposit. The deposit holder must respond to the breeders within three days of initial contact, which will include attempts by phone and email.
The buyer is expected to respond to the breeder's contacts to arrange how the puppy will be picked up or shipped. If the buyer has not responded to the breeder's communications, including contact by email and phone, by eight weeks of age, and made plans accordingly, then the breeder is free to sell the puppy to another.
Beginning at 10 weeks old, there will be a $100 boarding charge each week for puppies not yet picked up if sold prior to eight weeks of age. If arrangements have not been made to pick up the puppy by ten weeks of age, the puppy may be sold to another with no refund of the payment made.
Picking Order :
In every litter, the breeder reserves the first pick male and female to be kept or sold at his/her discretion. In certain instances, more than one puppy of a sex may be reserved for the breeder.
The breeder will keep a list of deposits received. When a litter is confirmed, the breeder will contact the deposit holders by order of deposit to see if they want to be on the list for the litter. Once contacted, the deposit holder must respond within three days to be on the list for the litter.
If no puppy is available for the deposit holder on the list, they will remain on the list to be offered selection in the next litter.
If a deposit holder has committed to a litter and then decides not to get a puppy from the litter, the deposit will not be refunded and no future puppy will be offered. This assumes that a puppy of the requested sex was available for them.
If a deposit holder passes on two litters offered, the deposit will be lost and the deposit holder removed from the list unless otherwise arranged with the breeder.
The order of selection for a litter cannot be determined until the puppies are a week old, and number and sex distribution is known.
No one can be on the list for a puppy without a deposit.
