Deposits

We are happy to take a deposit to hold your puppy. This is the only way you can guarantee your puppy choice. Due to the amount of scammers, the deposit amount will be a predetermined amount between buyer and seller. This will be personalized for you and your needs and wants. The deposit amount will be applied toward the cost of the puppy. The deposit and money you have paid toward your puppy will be forfeited after the puppy turns 9 weeks old, if we have not heard from you. Please let us know what is going on if you have issues. We strive for happiness in our puppies and our customers.

Contract Information

Your puppy is guaranteed to be in good health and free from visible signs of infection at the time of delivery. A record of All Vaccinations and Wormings will be given to the new owner.

Puppy Tips

Preparing for Your New Puppy

Getting ready for your new furry friend's arrival is important for a smooth transition. Here's what you'll need to do:

Get the Essentials: Before your puppy comes home, make sure you have everything ready. You'll need a collar, leash, a crate (great for training), safe toys, a cozy bed, and sturdy food and water bowls.
Set Up the Space: If your puppy will stay outdoors, get a well-insulated doghouse in a sheltered spot. Make sure it's elevated and protected from harsh weather.
Plan the Diet: Choose a puppy food that meets their nutritional needs. Look for brands like Purina® Puppy Foods, which are specially formulated for growing pups.
Find a Vet: Pick a veterinarian nearby for regular check-ups and emergencies. Ask for recommendations from friends or neighbors. We recommend Dr. John Tarleton in Georgetown.
Choose the Right Time: Bring your puppy home at the start of a weekend or during vacation days. This gives you time to settle them in and start training.
Travel Plans: Coordinate with the seller about pick-up time and avoid feeding the puppy right before to prevent car sickness.
Settle in: Help your puppy adjust to their new home. Supervise interactions with children, and teach them how to handle the puppy gently.
Establish a Routine: Take your puppy outside after meals, naps, and playtime to relieve themselves.
Medical Records: Bring any immunization records to your vet to start a medical history.
Name and Training: Choose a name and stick to it. Consistency is key in training. Crate training can be useful for keeping your puppy safe and housebreaking.

Remember, patience and consistency are essential for a happy relationship with your new puppy.

Buyer’s Responsibilities

MAKE SURE you are ready to take responsibility for a puppy and have made arrangements with your landlord BEFORE you make a payment! Deciding that you are just "not ready" once the puppy gets to you is not an option. We will be happy to take the puppy back (shipping at the buyer's expense), but NO REFUND will be given.
Refrain from taking the puppy to public places until the puppy has had all its vaccinations. (as recommended by your veterinarian) to ensure full immunity against diseases. This includes but is not limited to dog parks and pet stores such as PetSmart.
Provide the puppy with routine preventative care, such as, but not limited to:
Annual physical examinations by a licensed veterinarian.
Follow veterinarian guidelines for vaccinations and worming.
Please understand that owning a puppy means you will incur some vet visits!! Even the healthiest of puppies must see the vet at least once a year!
An agreed-upon, non-refundable amount included in the total cost of the puppy, determined by both the buyer and seller.
We are happy to keep a puppy longer than 8 weeks, but please make arrangements ahead of time so that we know what is going on. If we are unable to contact you and no arrangements have been made within 8 weeks, the deposit will be forfeited.
The balance will be due before the puppy is delivered.

Health Guarantee

Your puppy is guaranteed until 1 year of age against a fatal and life-altering congenital disease that adversely affects the health of the animal.
Seller will not be responsible for any medical expenses incurred. The buyer is aware that owning a puppy means trips to the veterinarian and understands that he/she will be responsible for all expenses. The guarantee is limited to the cost of the puppy.
As of the date of delivery, the puppy will have received proper vaccinations and worming. The buyer has been informed of these and is responsible for future vaccinations and worming.
This guarantee does not include Coccidia, Giardia, and Kennel Cough, which are common in puppies and usually caused by bacteria. Kennel cough is self-limiting and must run its course, like the common cold. Coccidiosis: This guarantee does not cover Coccidiosis. Coccidia are parasites that live in the cells of a dog's intestines. It is common for puppies to have this parasite present. Any type of stress (shots, environment changes, etc.) may cause a coccidia infection.
A puppy showing any serious genetic or congenital defect will be replaced as follows:
Animals must show the defect by 1 Year of age. The breeder must be notified of the problem within 3 business days of the licensed veterinarian’s determination of the problem, and the report, must be forwarded to the breeder’s veterinarian. The breeder’s veterinarian must concur with the report.
A puppy with a defect must be returned in good condition (other than the specified problem). Unless otherwise agreed on by both parties.
No refund, in part or in full, will be given unless something happens to the puppy while in the seller's care.
This guarantee applies only to the original owner; the agreement is nontransferable to a 3rd party.
Replacement puppies will be mutually agreed upon by both parties and of comparable quality. It is understood that the replacement puppy may not be from the same parents as the original puppy. A refund of the original cost of the puppy is also an option. A refund of the original cost or a partial refund may be considered.
The buyer is responsible for the transportation costs of the replacement puppy.
Any physical problem which is or could be the result of injury is not covered under this guarantee.
The breeder guarantees a healthy companion pet, but does not guarantee the buyer will be able to show, breed, or hunt the animal, regardless of show or breeding potential.
This contract supersedes any and all previous agreements.
This contract is null and void if the terms and conditions are not fulfilled.

Children's Roles in Pet Care

First, it's great that you want to share the responsibility of pet ownership with your children. However, it's important that you assign age-appropriate tasks. Here are a few examples of what you may expect.

Toddlers

A toddler can help parents with pet care simply by being involved — "helping" a parent fill food and water dishes, grooming, going with parents to take the dog for a walk, or going to the veterinarian. Another good trick is to have the toddler give the dog a treat for good behavior, i.e., get in bed or crate before the family leaves the house. The toddler and the pet both enjoy this special job!

The 5-7 Year Old

This age group is capable of doing some of the tasks above (feeding, watering, grooming) without parental help. Still, you can't expect that a child this age will remember to do these jobs without friendly reminders from Mom or Dad.

The 8-12 Year Old

Parents still need to supervise children in this age group for some tasks, like walking the dog. Before a child is 10–12 years of age, it's not advised that they walk a dog without adult supervision. However, the child can feed, water, and play with the dog alone (depending on the dog's temperament and area for exercise).

Teenagers

Depending on your teen's maturity, you can sometimes allow him/her to take full responsibility for the dog, including feeding, cleaning up after, driving to the veterinarian, and exercising the pet. Allowing the teen to take the dog to obedience classes can also be a good activity for both.
