If inter-island shipping is required that is an additional $200.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will forfeit the deposit and any rights to the puppy if: (a) Buyer fails to complete the purchase of the Dog for any reason within 3 days of the agreed delivery date. We charged $50 dollars a day for those 3 days. (We do not board dogs. Puppy must be picked up on the agreed delivery date - 8 weeks post whelping.) Seller shall be free to sell the puppy to another party.
In the event that the Dog is not available due to sickness, death, or any other circumstance owing to the fault of Seller, Buyer’s deposit will, at Buyer’s option, be either refunded or the Buyer may wait until puppy is recovered or transferred to the next litter of puppies.
Be advise we take the best possible care of the puppies while they are with us. Although our Vet will exam the litter prior to being re-homed. The seller is giving a health guarantee for 3 working days. In that time a licensed veterinarian must examine the puppy. If she/he finds any life threatening illness the puppy may be returned for a full refund. This request must be made within the first 3 working days and will only occur at the return of the puppy to the seller. All shipping costs for return are the responsibility of the buyer. This guarantee is null and void if a veterinarian has not examined the puppy within this time frame. Buyers taking the puppy out to parks or for 'show and tell' prior to its Vet visit, risk Parvo or other environmentally acquired infections (EAI). This sales agreement excludes all EAI.
This puppy is offered with a 12-month health warranty from date of birth against any serious life threatening genetic defects. If a life threatening genetic defect arises the seller will offer a replacement puppy of equal value when this is available. The seller DOES NOT require that the buyer return the original dog. The buyer must provide the seller a veterinarian certificate attesting to this genetic defect. The seller reserves the right to request a second opinion at the veterinarian of their choice and may require further genetic/health testing if the circumstances are warranted.
The seller does not guarantee that: 1) this dog will be non-shedding or hypoallergenic 2) the final coat type or color of the dog. 3) the dog will not react to environmental sounds or 4) to the dog's temperament.
We recommend taking the puppy to training classes, and getting pet insurance. We suggest you discuss with your Vet the importance of NOT subjecting the puppy rigorous activities such as jogging /running or extended strenuous hikes until s/he is at least 18 months of age to help protect the puppies joints. Be aware early spay/neutering increases the risk of joint problems as well as some cancers.
