The $500 Waitlist fee shall be applied to the final Purchase Price of $2,300.00 for males, $2,500.00 for females, which includes Indiana State Sales Tax. Buyer acknowledges that Breeder cannot control litter sizes and that the wait time for puppies can be longer than expected. Buyer acknowledges that the Deposit is nonrefundable in all circumstances. However, if a puppy/dog that meets Buyer’s identified preferences is not available, (Example, Buyer has put a deposit on a female, and there are only male puppies born in the litter) when it becomes Buyer’s turn to pick a puppy/dog from the selected litter, Buyer may elect to have the waitlist fee transferred to the next litter. Puppies are reserved in the order of the waitlist fees received. Breeder reserves the right to first pick of the litter before reservations are fulfilled. Breeder does not offer refunds due to color, or guarantee any specific shade of red/apricot.

Buyer shall respond to Breeder to acknowledge birth of puppy and pending pickup date within 7 days of being notified of puppy's arrival. If Buyer does not respond to Breeder within 7 days of being notified of birth, and acknowledging puppy's arrival and pending pickup, Buyer understands the waitlist fee is forfeited, and the puppy will no longer be available for them to purchase.

Buyer, at its own expense, must have the puppy/dog examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of receiving the puppy/dog (the “Examination Period”) for the guarantee in this section to be valid. We recommend this appointment to be scheduled prior to picking up your puppy/dog. If, within the Examination Period, a licensed veterinarian finds the puppy/dog to be unhealthy or unfit for sale, the puppy/dog may be returned to Breeder for a full refund of the Purchase Price. The veterinarian must provide a written statement deeming the puppy/dog “unfit for purchase”, which must be sent to Breeder within 48 hours of the veterinary examination. The foregoing guarantee expressly excludes (x) any health issues caused by Buyer’s ill-treatment, abuse or neglect, (y) any health issues that result from the puppy/dog’s transportation from Breeder to Buyer and (z) all minor illnesses and health issues, including upper respiratory infections, allergic reactions, stress colitis/diarrhea, internal or external parasites (including Coccidia or Giardia) or contagious viruses(including canine parvovirus), UTIs, vaginitis or umbilical hernias.

A luxating patella, hip dysplasia, and collapsed trachea can all be caused by injuries to the puppy.

Kennel cough and other communicable diseases are not covered after the initial puppy/dog examination. In the event the puppy/dog exhibits symptoms of a suspected debilitating congenital condition, Buyer must immediately inform Breeder and supply any requested veterinary records to Breeder.
