Deposit & Adoption Terms
​There is NO FEE to be put on our waiting list for a future litter!  
However, in order to adopt a puppy and reserve your spot in line for a puppy choice, a deposit must be received from the adopter!
By making a deposit or any payment to breeder(s) David & Susan Brandon, adopter agrees to all the following terms.
​​
Deposits:
1. All deposits are non-refundable!  No exceptions! 
2.Deposits can be made by CC via Paypal or by cash in person after your adoption application has been reviewed and approved.  Please send it as a friend via PayPal or request a  invoice (5% fee).  Deposits are $100.  This holds one puppy for you and secures your spot in line.  Positions are based on the waiting list & adoption applications approved.   
3. In the event a puppy should pass away after deposit is paid, or for any unforeseeable reason or event beyond breeder's control (including but not limited to health issues or injuries where buyer would not want the puppy), breeder might offer you another available puppy, apply adopter's deposit to a future litter, or offer a refund(at our discretion for the situation).

2.  Adopter agrees to make their puppy selection by 4 weeks of age and pay reservation fee of $400.  The reservation fee can be made by cash, bank cashier's check or money order (payments should be mailed with tracking).   Reservations are for the benefit of the buyer(s).  There may be an additional waiting period to collect all adopter's choices & fees in the order deposits were received, and this will be determined by breeder(s).  If breeder does not hear from adopter by the time puppies are 5 weeks, breeders reserve the right to re-home adopter's puppy choice to another adopter.  Since all deposits are non-refundable, (see above as #1),  breeder considers all deposits & reservation fees a donation to help cover feed, supervised feeding wages, bedding, veterinary care, and all other care needed for our dogs.   Breeder will make every attempt to contact adopter by contact info given.  It is the responsibility of the adopter to stay in contact with the breeder to secure their puppy choice and the interest in their puppy.
3. Adopter agrees to pay remaining balance due at or prior to 8 weeks when puppy is ready for adoption.  Should Adopter and Breeder agree to an extended puppy boarding agreement, it shall be considered only after final payment is received.   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.  In the event of a adopter's emergency (will be solely determined by Breeders discretion) a re-homing fee of $350 will be kept per puppy.   All deposits go to wages, feed, bedding, veterinary care, and all other care needed for our dogs.

​4. Adopter understands that the Breeder reserves the right of 1st Selection Male and/or 1st Selection Female from any and all litters, for breeding purposes.   Adopter understands there is the possibility of adopter moving down one spot on the Selection Order should Breeder decide to keep a puppy for breeding purposes. This is rarely the case, however breeders retains the option to exercise the right to keep a puppy if the need should arise that one of the adults needs to be replaced due to age, health, injury, etc.
​​5.All our puppies are micro-chipped as this is a permanent identifier for your pup(s).  Your pup's micro-chip (AKC ReUnite) comes with lifetime enrollment/registration with no additional hidden fees for the lifetime of the original owner.
6. By making a deposit, and or adopting a puppy, adopter agrees to these terms and all puppy/dog adoption contracts.

7. Adopter agrees that Breeder has the right to change or update these terms within reasonable limits as Breeder deems necessary.

Adopter's Responsibilities:
1. Breeder provides a well exam by their veterinarian to check each puppy to insure its in good health around 7 weeks of age.  Breeder advises adopter to get a well exam for their new puppy/dog and establish routine and make arrangements for needed vaccine boosters by a veterinarian of their choice.

6. The adopter shall have the puppy spayed or neutered between the ages of (6-9) months, unless full breeding rights have been purchased.

Puppies are not a manufactured product; therefore breeder does not offer a warranty for them.  Adopting anything, whether it's a pet, or a child, comes with inherent risk.   For those who want to reduce the risk of unexpected expenses can choose to obtain insurance from a third party.

11. Should adopter at any time not want puppy/dog or not be able to keep puppy/dog adopter will contact Breeder and offer to surrender it back to the Breeder.  Adopter will give breeder 1st choice to take puppy/dog.  If Breeder agrees to take puppy/ dog back, adopter will surrender registration papers with puppy/dog to Breeder.   If Breeder takes the puppy/dog back, No monies will be reimbursed.  If Breeder can not keep puppy/dog Breeder may be able to assist Buyer to find a suitable home.
12. Should Breeder agree to take back a female dog originally purchased with Full AKC Registration / Breeding Rights, and said female dog is pregnant, Breeder will not “split” proceeds with adopter who is surrendering the female dog. All proceeds from sale of litter belong solely to adopter and adopter shall sign AKC registration papers over to Breeder.
13. Adopter agrees that Breeder has the right to change or update these terms within reasonable limits as Breeder deems necessary.
