You are also committing to the below and understand what we have outlined and you agree to do all of the below IN FULL!
Your deposit is taken under these terms:
Deposit
Your puppy deposit is your agreement to us that you are taking one of our babies, and as such if you change your mind or decide you don't want this pup we will be unable to provide you with a refund. Once your deposit is taken we ensure you get a pup from us. So please be sure you want our pup, and that you will honour your commitment to us as we will for you.
Should you change your mind or not complete the purchase of the puppy, the deposit shall be non - refundable. Please ensure you ask all questions before paying your deposit.
If your wanting additional testing or have additional requirements about your puppy or the parents outside of the terms outlined here that will need to be agreed in writing by us prior to making the deposit as we will NOT go outside the scope of what we have listed here including testing on the puppy, the parents or any other requirements you want in order to complete your purchase of your pup.
ENSURE you have asked all questions, and are happy with our testing and our terms BEFORE paying your deposit. Asking for things outside of what is listed here after you pay your deposit may result in us not completing the sale and loosing your deposit.
We do in some cases allow the deposit to be used in future should you be unable to take one of our pups at the time of the deposit which is done on a case by case basis.
Should we be unable to provide you with a puppy we offer a full refund.
Our Testing
All of our dogs are DNA tested and Hip and Elbow scored which makes us stand out against other breeders who don't do the testing they should. Our testing goes with all of our puppies for both parents when the pups go to their new home. The pups are microchipped, vaccinated, vet checked and wormed before they go to their new home. We will also give you our starter guide booklet which helps to answer a lot of new puppy questions.
We do not dna test for specific breed type/purity genetics in any of our dogs. Our testing is focused on breeding healthy sound dogs and our dogs are approved to be bred from by our vet. You can see more about our dogs on our Facebook page which outlines well our relationships with our puppy families as our babies grow with them. We create a wonderful family client environment with our pup families and are here for the entire time you have your baby. This is so important to us.
We do not breed registered German Shepherds. We focus on breeding flat backed Shepherds and registered breeders are breeding to the breed standard they are required to which means breeding to the very sloped hind end. One of our main focuses is breeding dogs with flat backs that are healthy and happy. As such we do not focus on breeding dogs for showing which require registration.
Confidentiality:
You agree not give out any of our testing to other breeders/admins on Facebook pages/or people on any social media accounts or via email or in person without our permission in writing. Sadly breeders (especially breeders local to us in Taranaki) are stealing our testing (and other breeders testing) and altering it . They use facebook pages they run/manage using a number of fake names, asking for copies of breeders testing. There is no circumstance where you would need to give out breeder testing to other breeders or people on facebook or anyone else.
Should anyone contact you asking for our testing please contact us IMMEDIATELY!
If you see anyone asking for breeders testing or asking you directly for testing please contact us immediately so we can take action. We spend a lot of money on our testing and we do not want our testing stolen or solicited by other breeders acting as people using false names. This has become a serious issue for genuine breeders so you are not allowed to give our testing out without our permission in writing.
By paying your deposit your agreeing to keeping our testing confidential. You are ok to hand our testing to your vet however you are not allowed to hand our testing out to ANYONE else with out our permission in writing.
We stand behind our dogs 100% and are here with you the entire time you own your baby from us and should you have any questions about our testing please contact us and we can put you in touch with the vets who have done the testing and certified our testing.
We do not give out our testing for our pups to anyone unless they are buying a puppy from us and have paid a deposit. The testing is given out when the puppy goes to their new homes. Please ensure you understand this prior to making a deposit.
Breeding Contracts
We do not place breeding restrictions on our pups. However we require that any of our dogs that will be used for breeding will need to be DNA tested and Hip and Elbow scored clear and certified by a vet in writing to be bred from before any dog of ours is used for breeding purposes.
You will need to contact us for the full list of DNA testing requirements in order to ensure the right tests are done. (If you do not do this it may violate this agreement)
We also require the other dog (that is not ours) that is being used/mated with any of our dogs be DNA tested and Hip and Elbow scored prior to being mated to any of our dogs and certified as clear to be bred from by a vet in writing.
This is to ensure that the dog you are using with ours is also clear to be bred from by a vet and certified as such. It is incredibly important to us that we continue to ensure only well bred and well tested dogs are used to further the breed.
Onselling or giving away one of our dogs to another party:
In the unlikely event that you have to sell, rehome or otherwise place the dog from us in someones care permanently you will need to ensure that they are happy to abide by our terms outlined here in regards to breeding and testing, give them a copy of it and confirm they are happy to abide by these terms.
Our commitment to you and our dogs
Should your dog ever experience any health issues please contact us immediately. We stand behind our dogs for the life of your pup from us.
In order for us to look into any issues we would require you to send us your vet reports and you would have to send the dog back to us for us to access the issue and have the dog examined by our vets. Any issues are accessed on an individual case by case basis inline with advice and testing through our vets.
Should there be issues that are genetic we would ALWAYS take the dog back. However our dogs are DNA tested clear and are free of testable genetic issues as per the approval to be used for breeding by our vet.
