PRICING:
We have a lot of inquiries about the price of our puppies. Pet/companion puppies are sold with limited registration, which means no breeding rights. Pet/Companion puppy prices $900-$1200. Breeding/show prospects are sold with full rights on contract. Email me for copy of contract. We are very selective about selling with full rights. Breeding/Show prospect puppy prices $1800-$2500.
DEPOSIT/PAYMENT:
In order to hold your choice of puppy I require a deposit of $200 which does go toward the total price of the puppy. If the deposit is not received within 7 days the pup will not be held. The deposit of $200 is non-refundable by this I mean that if you decide you don't want the pup then you will not get your deposit back. If the pup were to die however, I will either refund your deposit or you can transfer the deposit to another pup that is not spoken for or to a pup from a future litter. For the deposit I accept Paypal (friends & family), Venmo, checks, money orders or cash. For the balance of the pup I prefer cash or money order. Make checks/money orders payable to Kelly Dirksen.
*We reserve the right to refuse to sell our puppies to anyone, at anytime before they leave our farm, without a reason given.
RETURNS
We will take back any of our dogs or puppies at any age if the owners can no longer care for them. We do not refund money unless genetic defect or health issue. We will find a suitable home for the dog/puppy.
WAITING LIST:
We do usually have a waiting list for our puppies. I will accept deposits before the puppies are born. This deposit holds your place on the list. Picks are made in the order the deposits are received. Once puppies are born I contact the people on my waiting list and from there people start picking their puppies. The people with a deposit down gets first pick. After they have made their pick I will contact the rest of the waiting list that did not place a deposit. It does not cost to be put on our waiting list but to secure your place a deposit is recommended.
GUARANTEE:
All puppies will be vet checked, current on shots & de-worming before going to new homes. Tails docked, if you would like the tail left on contact me before litters are born to arrange that. The puppy has to be picked out and deposit placed at 3-5 days old before we dock tails. We don't remove front dewclaws anymore but do remove rear ones if they have them. They come with their AKC and/or AKC & ASCA registration applications, extended pedigree, health records, Purina Puppy Chow puppy packet & a 2 year health guarantee on hips & eyes.
PICKUP OR SHIPPING:
Puppies can be picked up here at our farm by appointment. Sometimes depending on my schedule, I will drive to meet you with your puppy. If you are not in driving distance and want your puppy shipped, we do ship weather permitting. I ship out of the Cinncinati, OH airport (CVG). There are restrictions for shipping a live animal.
*Animals must be at least 10 weeks of age.
*Shipping kennel or cage must meet standards for size, ventilation, strength and design. Animals must have enough room to stand up and turn around. Kennels must be equipped with one food and water cup. Kennels must be marked with shipper's name, address and phone number and pick-up person's name, address and phone number (if different from shipper), Live Animal Stickers should be applied to the kennel and the last time fed and watered indicated. Place newspaper or absorbent material on the bottom of the crate.
*Animal may not be exposed to temperatures of less than 45 degrees Fahrenheit unless there is an acclimation statement by a Veterinarian. Or temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Please understand that during the summer months when the temperatures are high sometimes I have to reschedule shipping the puppy due to the temperatures. I use www.weather.com to keep up to date on the temperatures and this is what the airline goes by too.
*Health Certificate must be issued by a licensed Veterinarian and be no more than 10 days old.
Contact us for a shipping price. I do require the balance of the puppy & shipping cost before I will ship the pup. If paying with a personal check I will not ship until the check clears which is usually 7 to 10 working days.
