Terms of Sale
guarentee the size that the puppy will be full grown!  We do NOT sell to puppy brokers or puppy mills!

Deposits/Payments:

We do require a $200 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to hold your puppy, in the form of a postal money order OR Paypal (plus 4% fee).

WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS! We must receive your deposit within 3 days of placing the puppy "Sale Pending".

If we do not receive a deposit within that time frame, the puppy will be listed "Available".
I spend alot of time emailing you with information and pictures about the puppies, as well as talking with you on the phone; this is all very time consuming.  I feel it is important to reassure you of my credibility and sincerity. I feel that by the time you place a deposit, you are 100% sure about purchasing a puppy from us. Therefore, I will NOT refund or transfer any deposits or payments simply because you changed your mind.  The deposit is given in good faith that you are sincere about purchasing the puppy.  When I recieve your deposit for the puppy of your choice, I consider that puppy sold and no other inquires can be made on a puppy with a deposit. There will be no refunds/transfers of payments OR deposits.  The balance is due by the time pups are 7 weeks of age to arrange shipping.  We must receive the balance BEFORE shipping or delivering any puppy!

What We Provide:

We strive to produce healthy, quality puppies.
Our puppies receive their first set of shots at 6 weeks of age, have had their first vet check, been de-wormed, received a bordatella vaccine, and also come with a Vet certified health certificate confirming your puppy is healthy.
We give a One Year Genetic Health Guarantee to all puppy buyers!

We do NOT sell puppies until they are atleast 8 weeks of age and have been seen by our vet.
ALL of our puppies are sold with a health certificate. We will be glad to give our Vet's information as a reference.

Shipping:

We ship with Continental Airlines.  Shipping is an additional fee.  When your puppy is shipped, he is shipped in a new crate to your nearest international airport (usually you can pick up in the baggage office).
Please have your ID and flight information with you when picking up your puppy, and please be on time and have Nutrical on hand. We ship within the US and CANADA.  We do not ship to any other countries due to quarantine periods.  The shipping price includes airfare, new crate, health certificate, and gas costs.

One Year Genetic Health Guarantee:

If, within 5 days following the sale, a licensed veterinarian of your choice certifies that, at the time of the sale, the animal was unfit for purchase due to illness or disease, the presence of symptoms of a contagious or infectious disease, or if, within 1 year following the sale, a licensed veterinarian certifies puppy/dog to be unfit for purchase due to a congenital or hereditary disorder which adversely affects the health of the animal you shall have the following options:
