OUR POLICIES AND GUARANTEES
REFUND POLICY
We have reluctantly instigated this policy due to the less than ethical behaviour of a few puppy buyers. I am sure those who are honest will understand our position and support our decision to implement this protection for our kennels.
If you do not agree with our decision then please do not purchase a puppy from us. ALL puppies sold as pets WILL be rendered unable to breed BEFORE the purchaser collects it.
Cost of desexing and Shipping will be in addition to the price of the puppy. There will be no exceptions to this condition.
We believe that this way is far superior to promises that may or may not eventuate if not written down.
Make sure you have an understanding of any contracts or agreements. Ensure it is writing like this one and not a verbal agreement which frankly can be forgotten or misinterpreted.
Avoid making such verbal arrangements with any breeder who does not give you the option to have all the facts presented in writing.
