Deposits & Fees:
1. All deposits & fees are non-refundable! No exceptions!
2.Deposits are $100 per puppy. Deposit can be made after your adoption application has been reviewed and approved. A deposit holds one puppy and secures your spot in line for choosing a puppy. Adopters spot in line is based on the waiting list & adoption applications approved.
3. Adopter agrees to pay $400 reservation fee and make their puppy selection by 4 weeks of age. The reservation fee can be made in person by cash or by cashier's check via snail mail (with tracking). Reservations are for the benefit of the adopter(s). There may be an additional waiting period to choose your puppy depending on the order deposits were received, which will be determined by breeder. If breeder does not hear from adopter by the time puppies are 5 weeks, breeders reserve the right to give adopter's spot in line and puppy choice to another adopter. Since all deposits are non-refundable(see #1 above), breeder considers all deposits & reservation fees a donation to help cover feed, supervised feeding wages, bedding, veterinary care, and to cover any other of breeder's expenses. Breeder will make every attempt to contact adopter, however it is the responsibility of the adopter to stay in contact with the breeder to secure adopter's puppy choice.
4. In the event a puppy should become injured, have health issues, pass away, or any event where the adopter would not want the reserved puppy, breeder will offer adopter another available puppy or apply adopter's deposit to a future litter. In some limited circumstances breeder may offer the adopter a refund but it will be at the breeder's complete discretion for the situation.

Adopter shall pay breeder $15 a day for puppy board beyond 8 weeks old. If adopter needs additional time to board puppy or wants livestock training it shall be up to breeders availability and adopter shall pre-pay $100/week. If final payment is not received within this time frame, breeder reserves the right to re-home buyer's puppy to another buyer. Please keep in mind that if the adopter puts any deposits on a puppy the breeder will be turning away other adopters(postponing adoptions). Should the adopter for any reason change their mind or not be able to complete an adoption the adopter will forfeit all monies paid to breeder including deposits, reservation fee, and payments.
