Payment
A $100 non-refundable deposit will hold a puppy for you. If you are planning to have the puppy shipped the remaining balance is due when the puppy is 7 weeks old. We will then make flight arrangements for the puppy to be shipped between 8-9 weeks. If you are planning to pick up your puppy here the remaining balance for the puppy is due in CASH upon pick-up. If you cannot be here by 8 weeks of age that is ok, we can keep the puppy for you a little longer. However, we do require the puppy to be paid for in full by 8 weeks of age. Please remember that the $100 deposit will only hold your puppy until he/she is 8 weeks old. If your puppy is not picked up or paid for by then he/she will be resold to a new family if prior arrangments have not been made with Heather.
- A $100 nonrefundable deposit is required to hold a puppy until it is old enough to go to your home, though some people pay fully at the time of their purchase decision. If for some reason, you are unable to finish buying the puppy, and you tell us before he/she is 7 weeks old, we will refund all but the deposit to you.
- No puppy is considered sold until a deposit has been received, although if we are sure you are sincere, we'll hold one for 24 hours while your deposit is in process. This is very important, because the most frequently-occurring issue we run into is waiting for a deposit from one buyer and having a second buyer want the same puppy. Usually, the first buyer is sincere, but sometimes it happens that there is no follow-through. The fastest way to send a deposit is via PayPal. You don't have to have a PayPal account...just click the button on your puppies page and you can either create an account or pay with your credit card via Pay-Pal. We highly recommend using PayPal for deposits so your deposit is immediate and there is no room for uncertainty.
- Please note that we want to do what is best for the puppy, and also what is fair for both you and for us. We have had situations where more than one person wanted the same puppy, and it is very hard to manage this without hurting feelings. If you are sure you want a puppy, we suggest that you contact Heather to verify that puppy is still available and then place a deposit on the puppy immediately. If a second party discovers the puppy and offers to buy, and if they appear to be a good home, we are hard-pressed to turn them down when no deposit has been paid or mailed. Please don't ask us to hold a puppy while you think about it, as we can't turn other good homes down when a puppy is not firmly sold.
- If you place a deposit on a puppy without verifying that the puppy is still avaialbe and it happens to be sold already then you will have choice of another puppy in the litter that is available or your deposit can be placed on an upcoming litter. No deposit will be issued.
- Payment in full is expected at least two weeks prior to shipping date if by check/money order, or at pick up if the final payment is in cash.Puppies will not be released until payment clears. Cash payment at the time of pickup is just fine, and is what most people do.
- Puppies held at buyer's request beyond 8 weeks of age must be paid for in full by 8 weeks of age. For example, if we hold a puppy for you until it is 11 weeks old so it can arrive at your home for a special occasion, the puppy must still be paid for before it is 8 weeks old.
In addition, puppies held at buyer's request beyond 8 weeks of age will require payment for veterinary expenses we incur beyond the 8 week age date. This includes routine care (such as vaccinations), emergency care, or any kind of care other than feeding/watering.
