Sales Terms

Home Visits

Please note that I do not allow home visits. I did, but stopped this in 2007.
Over the years there have been increasing reports of breeders being threatened, robbed, or having dogs stolen during enquiries and puppy sales. Because of these risks, I contacted police directly to ask what the safest approach would be when selling puppies.
Their advice was very clear: treat puppy sales the same way as other private online sales and meet buyers at a neutral location away from your home.
For the safety of my family, my dogs, and myself, I have followed this advice for many years and will continue to do so.
I understand that some organisations recommend buyers inspect breeding premises. However, the reality is that breeders have increasingly become targets for theft and intimidation, and personal safety must come first.
One such incident was reported in That’s Life Magazine, where a breeder in New South Wales was held at gunpoint by a supposed buyer demanding a puppy.

For this reason, meetings with new owners take place at an agreed location away from my home.

Choosing the Right Puppy for Each Home

Over many years of breeding I have come to know the personalities, temperaments and needs of each puppy.

For this reason, puppies are not simply chosen based on appearance, colour or size. I carefully match each puppy with the home that will suit it best.

Every puppy has its own temperament and energy level, and my responsibility as the breeder is to ensure that each one is placed in an environment where it will thrive and become a happy lifelong companion.

My goal is always to create the best possible match between puppy and owner so that both will enjoy a long and successful relationship together.

Waiting List and Deposits

I do not take deposits for unborn puppies.

Litters are first announced on my Facebook page where interested people are welcome to follow updates. When puppies become available, those who feel they may be suitable owners are invited to make contact.

Deposits are only accepted once I have decided which puppy is suitable for which home.

A deposit secures the puppy that has been allocated and is non-refundable, therefore prospective owners must be certain of their commitment before placing a deposit.

Deposits are deducted from the final adoption price.

Payment

Full payment must be completed before the puppy leaves my care.

Payment may be made either:

• in cash on the day of collection
• by bank transfer prior to collection

No other forms of payment are accepted.

All contracts must be signed and in hand before the puppy leaves for its new home.

Transport / Flights

If a puppy is required to travel by air, the cost of freight is the responsibility of the buyer.

The company arranging the flight must be paid in full prior to travel.

I am happy to obtain flight quotations once I know the exact destination airport.

Communication and Updates

Once a puppy has been reserved, I provide regular email updates so new owners can follow the puppy’s development and progress.

This time also allows us to get to know one another and helps ensure that each puppy is placed in the most suitable home.

Prospective owners are welcome to ask questions and all enquiries will be answered honestly.

Prior to the puppy leaving for its new home, I provide written notes covering care, diet and general guidance.

Lifetime Support

I remain available to offer advice for the lifetime of every puppy I place.

If a medical concern arises, owners should contact me before visiting a veterinarian where possible (except in emergencies), as I may be able to provide helpful background information.

After adoption, emails are always welcome for questions or updates.
Phone calls should be reserved for emergencies.

Thank you for taking the time to read these terms and for understanding the care and responsibility that goes into raising and placing each puppy.
