Frequently Asked Questions when purchasing a puppy

 

1.  Can  you reserve a puppy for me?


     Yes,  we require a $400 deposit to hold  a puppy if the puppy is under 8 weeks of age and remaining balance is  due before we can ship the puppy. We do not place a puppy on hold unless  we have received a deposit. If puppy is over 8 weeks of age, payment in  full is required unless other arrangements have been made.


2.  What payment forms do you accept?

   We accept pay pal (3% processing fee added) or Venmo.  We will accept a check or money order, but Paypal/Venmo is preferred.

3.  If I put a deposit on a puppy, is it refundable?  

 Deposits are  non-refundable UNLESS something happens to the puppy here (gets  sick/injured/or dies) or if the puppy does not check out 100% at the vet  check. If this should happen then we will either refund the deposit or transfer the deposit to another available puppy of your choice.


 

4. Have the puppies received any  vaccinations?   

Yes, we give our puppies 2 parvo vaccinations, kennel cough vaccination and a 5 way vaccination along with routine worming.  Puppies are vet checked at 7 - 8 weeks of age.  



5.  Do you ship the puppies?  

Yes we do!  We have a ground transporter and a flight nanny we work with - please contact us for pricing.


6.  What is included in the shipping cost?

   The transport - we also send along a small baggie of the puppy food for transitioning as well as a blanket and toy so the puppy has something familiar along during the transport.

 
7. Do you have a contract?

  Yes, there is a copy of it on the "guarantee" page.  No other warranties or guarantees beyond what is listed.  


8.  How old does the puppy have to be before it can leave? 

 They need to be 8 weeks of age before we can let any puppy leave.  Sometimes we may require them to be a bit older depending on the weaning progress.  Puppies have their vet exam done between 7 - 8 weeks of age.  


9.  Do you have references?


Yes, we do have references and will release them upon request also check out our testimonial page.



10.  Are the puppies purebred and registered?   

Our puppies are purebred and  registered with APRI (American Pet Registry). Our parents are all dual  registered with AKC and APRI. The puppies will come with APRI  registration papers and these can be sent to AKC for AKC registration as  well. We name our puppies for advertising/identification purposes only  -  they are not registered under a given name - you may choose a name  and register your puppy under your given name!  


11.  Any testing done on the adults?  

Yes, OFA testing is done for heart and patellas.
