Pricing: Puppies are priced according
to quality, being Pet or Show Quality.
**note**Due to the HIGH volume of emails I receive asking "How much are your
puppies?" I will no longer be answering these types of emails. If you are
SERIOUS about a puppy, then fill out the questionnaire or call us. IF you
are a wonderful home that checks out, I will work with new owners on this
issue. Find out about us, before putting a price tag on a life.
Please understand we breed only once or twice a year, but we if you are
truly interested in adding a Min Pin to your home please fill out the
New Owner Questionnaire
. We may not have what you are looking for at the time, but we may know
another reputable breeder that does!
Remember that from time to time we may also have: Older Puppies, Young
Adults, or Older Adults available for adoption. They deserve great homes
too, not just puppies!
Obvious
Pet puppies are left natural eared - due to expense and travel, unless the new family members would like
to have their puppy cropped. If this is their wish, we will assist in
helping to make arrangements with our vet, at the new owners expense. We are
also here for advice regarding questions to cropping or any other matter.
Pet Quality puppies will be
placed with Limited Registration, meaning the puppy is not allowed to be
bred or be shown in conformation events. The puppy however is allowed to be
shown in other sports, such as obedience, agility, and fly ball. Pet puppies
will be placed with a spay/neuter contract, stating that the puppy should be
sexually altered prior to six months of age, or will already be altered
prior to leaving here. Upon altering, a sign vet
certificate shall be sent to the breeder to verify that the pup was altered.
When we receive this, all registration papers will be then sent by mail to
the new owners.
Show quality puppies will be
placed with a Co-ownership until puppy finishes it's AKC Championship, when
we will then remove the co-ownership, unless otherwise specified in a show
contract. We will only place a show quality pup with full rights to those
who are experienced exhibitors, and a individual that will provide all
requested references. Inexperienced exhibitors new to the ring, are
also welcome to apply for a show quality pup, but must understand our
concerns with new comers in the ring. We may request that we handle your new
puppy in the ring until you gain enough experience to do so yourself.
Shipping: We only ship to
approved homes, by means of ground transport. We prefer not to fly young
puppies or dogs.
Age:
No puppy will leave here prior to the age of 10 weeks old!
In some cases we can tell a puppy is not show quality and may leave at this
age, others may stay on longer for further evaluation.
Health Care: All puppies will
be currently up to date on shots (DHPPC), worming, and are vet checked. We do not
recommend giving shots that contain LEPTO, due to bad reactions in dogs that
has been documented.
*Puppies/dogs, are to be vet
checked by owners with in 72 hours of receiving puppy to make sure that
puppy is in good health, if found other wise, upon the findings of our vet,
we will replace puppy/dog for one of equal quality.
Deposit: We require a deposit to
hold a puppy for new owners, and if you wish to have us crop ears (pet
quality puppies) by our vet prior to puppy coming home to new owners, we
require cropping costs up front.
Balance to be due prior to puppy leaving for their new home.
If you are interested in
finding a show or pet quality dog, you may contact
us, or please complete the "New Owner Questionnaire"
and send it to us. We will respond as quickly as possible.
