Application/Screening Process
Often, it is helpful for prospective owners to complete a questionnaire to help both you and us to determine whether your personal situation, lifestyle, and preferences are compatible with a particular breed or specific puppy. If you choose to, you can complete our questionnaire which will give us a basis for discussing your needs and preferences in choosing your next pet.
Pricing
Puppies are priced individually depending on their sex, markings, and overall quality. Generally, females are slightly higher than males because they are in greater demand. Please call or e mail for price quotes on specific puppies pictured in this site.
Registration
Your puppy will be eligible for a limited AKC registration. This means that while your pet is registered, its offspring are not eligible to be registered with the AKC. You will receive your registration application when you pick up your puppy.
Contract and Health Guarantee
You will be given a written, signed contract and two year money-back health guarantee at the time of your purchase. In order to qualify for the health guarantee, you must comply with the terms of the contract, which includes taking the puppy to a veterinarian for an initial health check, and providing proof of vaccination according to the schedule specified in your contract. Please e mail us with any questions related to the health guarantee. Click here to review a blank contract.
Waiting List
For details on our waiting list for upcoming litters and conditional holding deposits, see holding deposit.
Deposit on Available Puppies
We will gladly hold a puppy with a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the purchase price of the puppy. Puppies are sold to approved buyers on a first come, first serve basis. The balance of the purchase price plus applicable shipping fees are due 10 days prior to shipping or by the eighth week of age, whichever comes first.
Delivery
Transportation sharing is available on request. Please call to discuss your individual needs. We occasionally make arrangements to personally deliver a puppy to your nearest airport, flying the puppy in the cabin of the aircraft in an under-seat carrier, or we can help you make arrangements to pick your puppy up in person at the Little Rock National Airport, flying it home with you in-cabin.
Shipping
We ship our puppies via air carrier when suitable arrangements can be made for a climate-controlled flight, and the flight itinerary is not too stressful for the puppy. We take care to acclimate the puppy to its shipping crate for several days to minimize the unfamiliarity of the situation. Commercial carriers require that the puppy be a minimum of eight weeks old, and have a recent certificate of health from a vet. Although puppies are shipped in the cargo hold of the airplane, which is climate-controlled and of course pressurized, the ambient temperature must not exceed 85 degrees at any point along the itinerary. Please call to discuss your individual needs. Transportation costs are generally $300.00 which includes the shipping crate, veterinarian exam, supplies,and transportation to the airport.
Pay by Credit Card Online
Payment of deposit or balance can be processed online through Paypal. We prefer that you send your initial holding deposit through Paypal. Even if you are not currently registered with Paypal, we can send a request for payment to your e mail account, and you can respond with payment using your bank card or credit card. Subsequent payments can be made via personal check, money order, Paypal, Wal-Mart Money Gram, or cash if you pick up your puppy in person. |
