✔️Retainer

A $200 reservation retainer is required to remove a puppy from availability to reserve exclusive holding time until pickup. This retainer will be applied toward the final purchase balance at pickup.

The reservation retainer is fully refundable within 48 hours of receipt.

🌟Documentation is intentionally shared privately during the 48 hour refundable window rather than displayed publicly.  This allows health testing, registrations, and program details to be reviewed with clarity, context, and thoughtful understanding during the reservation process.  After review, Buyer can request return of the paid retainer during the 48-hour grace period.

After the 48-hour grace period, the retainer becomes an earned holding retainer. This retainer compensates the breeder for loss of opportunity, exclusive reservation, and time held.

Exclusive holding begins immediately upon expiration of the 48-hour grace period, at which time the puppy is removed from availability. Once holding services begin, the reservation retainer is considered fully earned due to the immediate and ongoing loss of opportunity associated with exclusive reservation.

As holding services are rendered, the retainer is not subject to refund, regardless of the timing of buyer cancellation. The retainer continues to apply toward the final purchase price at pickup.

Pick-up

Puppies will be held only within approximately seven (7) days following paid retainer.

8 Week Old Puppies-

• At approximately 8 weeks of age, puppies will have received:
– First core vaccination
– Two (2) NeoPar parvovirus vaccinations administered by us under vet supervision
– Routine deworming at 2, 4, 5, and 7 weeks of age administered by us under vet supervision
— Microchip to be administered by your veterinarian

Older Puppies-

For puppies remaining beyond 8 weeks of age, we will continue to ensure the following are current prior to pickup:
• Age-appropriate vaccinations, 2nd and 3rd core
• Rabies vaccination (when age appropriate)
• Current deworming

Due to the added care, time, and expenses associated with older puppies, all related costs will be added to the purchase price and must be paid with final payment at pick-up.

Final Scope of Responsibility:

Veterinary ●evaluations ●testing, or ●diagnoses obtained by the Buyer after pickup reflect the puppy’s condition at the time of that examination and may be influenced by factors outside the Breeder’s control, including…

✔️transition
✔️environment
✔️exposure
✔️stress, and
✔️individual immune response

✔️Post-transfer findings do not negate or supersede the health status confirmed at the time of departure, nor do they imply that illness was present prior to transfer.

Once the puppy leaves our care, all veterinary decisions, evaluations, and outcomes are between the Buyer and their chosen veterinarian and do not reflect a failure of care, diligence, or transparency by the Breeder.

Our role is to raise healthy, well-started puppies. Open-ended boarding, flexible scheduling, additional vaccinations, and daily care expenses requested beyond standard placement have burdened that role. This policy update allows us to continue operating fairly, professionally, and with integrity.

✔️Bill of Sale Policy:

●Bill of Sale After Paid Retainer — We send our Bill of Sale after your retainer is placed,
because your retainer is fully refundable for 48 hours.

This gives you the freedom to review our contract without pressure — if any part of it does not feel aligned for you, your retainer is refunded in full within the 48 hour window only.

🤎 Our goal is mutual fit and clarity, not pressure.

●Bill of Sale Execution & Signing at Pickup

Our placement process is relational and intentional. For clarity, transparency, and the well-being of our puppies, all Bills of Sale and accompanying addendums are reviewed by the Buyer after retainer placement, formally signed, and returned to us within the 48 hour review window. This allows us to walk through health information, expectations, companion-only terms, and care requirements, ensuring nothing is overlooked or misunderstood.

No puppy will leave our possession until all contractual documents are signed. Should Buyer decline to sign, the placement will be discontinued.

This policy protects the puppy, the Buyer, and our program by ensuring full understanding and mutual agreement.
