All of our hounds are AKC registered and each puppy will come with an AKC puppy application. It is the new owner's
responsibility to fill out the application and send it to AKC to have his/her puppy registered with AKC. This process
can also be done online, as long as you have the actual puppy application in hand. Certain codes, that are unique to
each application, are require to registered the puppy online.
All puppies are sold with limited registration unless other arrangements are made between buyer & breeder.


All puppies are priced the same, no matter of coloring, parentage or genger.  Each puppy is $500 and sold without breeding rights.  Prices on full AKC registration (breeding rights) is undetermined at this time.


When picking up your puppy, please let me know what day you expect to be here.  I will not hold you to anything.  Let
me know the day before that you are definitely coming the following day.  Call when you're around an hour away, so
that I can take the food away from the puppy.  The puppy may get car sick, so it's a good idea to bring cleaning
supplies.  To find a local hotel, visit our
Contact Us page.  Also, some people want to fly their private planes here.  You
can find our local airport info by visiting our
Contact Us page.  We do not have a big commercial airport.


We do not air ship our puppies.  We will agree to ground shipping though.  It's kind of like UPS.  They will come here
and pick up your puppy, and then deliver it to you.  It's slower than air shipping, but I prefer it.
 It's up to the buyer to
make arrangements with and to find a shipper, since you will be the one paying him/her.
 The prices vary, depending
on your location.  I've seen it as low as $250, up to $350.  When contacting shippers and trying to find the best one,
it's always a good idea to ask about a time frame.  Some can get to your puppy sooner than others.  Here is a list of
shippers that I have used in the past:  
Vagabond Hound
Pack Leader Animal Services
Buckeye Dog Hauling
Swickard's Dog Hauling
uShip
  • uShip is a great tool to find hundreds of pet shippers! You can accept bids on your delivery needs, and
    also research the shippers by their feedback score. It's kind of like ebay!


We make the puppies available for their new homes
no earlier than 8 weeks of age. Depending on how early they
are weaned, this could go over 8 weeks.  If you want me to hold a puppy, until you get here, I will require a
nonrefundable $50 deposit.  Your deposit goes towards the purchase price of the puppy.  If something happens to
your chosen puppy (dies or becomes severely injured) while in my care, you will have the option of another puppy, or
your deposit will be refunded.  Deposit refunds will only be given if the puppy is found to be unhealthy, is injured,
dies, or is stolen.  After the puppies are old enough to go to their new homes, 8 weeks of age,you will have 1 week to
pick up your puppy, unless we have agreed on other plans.  If you have paid a deposit on a specific puppy, but like
another when you get here, and it isn't sold, you can always change your pick!
  • Please note:  I do not take early deposits!  I usually wait until the puppies are at least 6 weeks before I
    accept deposits.  I like for buyers to know what the puppies look like before sending a deposit.  At 1 day, 2
    days, a week, 2 weeks, etc. you just can't tell.  After the puppies are born, I will put a posting on our
    website.  A few weeks later, I will post a date when I'll be accepting deposits.  When that day comes, there
    will be photos posted of the puppies and then you can send a deposit.  First come, first served.  I won't put
    everyone on hold, just so that 1 person can take a week or 2 in picking a puppy.

If you choose not to send a deposit, there is no guarantee that the puppy will be available when you arrive at my
home.  If you are mailing a payment, there is no guarantee that your puppy will be available at the time that the deposit
is received.  For some unknown reason, a lot of people will say that they are mailing a deposit, but they never do.  So
if you're mailing your deposit, I will hold the puppy only for a certain number of days, allowing time for the USPS to
deliver your payment.  If it does not show up in a timely manner, the puppy will be placed back up for sale.  So the
best way to insure your pick, is to pay via PayPal.  You can send a PayPal deposit by clicking the PayPal button
above.  To mail a deposit, please visit our
Contact Us page for a mailing address.

Cash ONLY on pick up. NO EXCEPTIONS! I don't want to have to track down a puppy and repossess it because
of a bounced check!
Money orders (Must be received 7 days before pick up)
Personal Checks (Must be received 7 days before pick up)
Credit Cards are accepted through PayPal.
eChecks are accepted through PayPal.
Instant bank transfers are accepted through PayPal.
Debit cards are accepted through PayPal.


We are NOT Wal-Mart!  We are not open for business 24/7!  If you arrive at our home, just to "look" at my dogs and puppies, you will be turned away.  You would not like a stranger coming to your home, nosing around your backyard, touching your puppy and dogs WITHOUT
your permission, and I don't like it either!  If you call me and make an appointment, I will be more than happy to show you our dogs, as long as there are no
unvaccinated puppies here at the time.  If you just show up, and especially if I find you nosing around my property without my permission, I won't be happy.  I
have children and a life.....I can't just drop everything when someone shows up without notice.  It's been several years since someone attempted to steal one
of my dogs, but it has happened in the past.  If I find a stranger on my property, I don't know what their intentions are.  Please be respectful of me and the
buyers who are waiting to pick up their puppies. I hate that I have to put this on my website, and that I sound like a butt, but this is happening more and more
frequently. Yes, I am selling puppies, but I don't look at them as commodities. I've been with them ever since conception, which has been several months.  
These are my pets and treated as such until they leave with their new parents. I don't like putting my dogs and puppies on display when every Tom, Dick and
Harry takes the notion to drop in and show their kids the cute puppies. Thank you for understanding!
     
We have a strict requirement of all our guests....We ask that you do NOT go to see other puppies, anywhere, in the
same day before coming to our home. This is how Parvo Virus gets spread! It is a little safer if the puppies have been
vaccinated, but it isn't 100% safe until the puppies have received their "entire series" of vaccinations. After weaning,
puppies will receive vaccinations every 3 weeks until 16 weeks of age.  Until the ENTIRE series of vaccines are
finished, the puppies can still catch Parvo and other deadly contagious diseases!

We will
not accept visitors to our home before the puppies have had their first vaccinations. This is done for the
protection of the puppies.  As stated above, visitors may track in germs on their clothes and shoes like Parvo, which
is a very deadly virus. The most common way puppies get Parvo, is from people bringing the germs to them on their
clothes and shoes. Even if you have not been around other puppies, the germs can still be picked up from
contaminated side walks and grass and then tracked in on your clothes or the soles of your shoes. Parvo can live on
the ground for up to 6 years. Bleach is the only thing that kills the germs in the environment. You will notice that many
other breeders that are careful will implement this same policy. I am sure you will appreciate this policy if you are
purchasing a puppy from us!

Until the new owner has taken possession of the agreed upon puppy, the puppy is my property, and I will care
for it as I see fit.
