Nap time in the Puppy Pen

Our conditions are:  

1.

Pet puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract, with a Canadian Kennel Club non-breeding agreement.

2.

We require two letters of reference from pet professionals as to how you have cared for your past or current pets, such as a veterinarian, groomer, or trainer. If you have not previously owned a pet, then two letters of reference from a current employer and co-worker will be acceptable. We are very willing to provide references to you from trainers and pet owners who have purchased dogs from us. We require these references because puppy placement is very important to us and we want to make sure our pups get the best homes possible.

3.

We also insist on the right of first refusal, which means that at any time in the dog's life you cannot commit to the dog, for whatever reason, and need to re-home the dog, you must offer to return him/her to us first, no questions will be asked, and we will take the dog back. We are concerned about the dogs we breed and want the best possible for them, we do not want them dumped into a shelter or rescue centre, or placed with someone whom we would not be comfortable selling one of our dogs to.

4.

The health guarantee does not cover accidental death due to owner's negligence (hit by car, etc.).
