ABOUT BUYING A PUPPY

    You can buy a puppy at anytime after birth and make a deposit to hold
    this particular puppy until it’s old enough to ship or be picked up. Puppies
    cannot leave our ranch until they are at least eight weeks old. We reserve
    the right to decide if it’s in the best interest of the puppy to be held longer
    then eight weeks before shipping. Payment in full plus shipping charges
    are due ten days before shipping. At this time we do the final Vet exam for
    the health papers, complete the necessary paper work and make the flight
    reservations if the puppy is flying.
                                    ABOUT PAYMENT

    We prefer and use PayPal almost exclusively. With PayPal you have several
    choices on how to make your payment. You may use your credit card,
    checking account or pay from your PayPal balance if you have an existing
    account with available funds. PayPal is free for you, the purchaser; it’s fast,
    safe and your purchase is protected. You do not need a PayPal account to
    purchase a puppy from us. I can send you a PayPal invoice which will be self-
    explanatory.

    We can also accept money orders sent via the postal service. This will work if
    there is enough time. Mail is not convenient for us because we do not have
    rural mail delivery and we only get into town once or twice a week to retrieve
    our mail.

    Bank money transfers are also acceptable, but do cost more then the other
    methods. If you would like to use a bank money transfer as your method of
    payment we can provide you with the necessary account information.
                                       ABOUT SHIPPING

    If you purchase a puppy and it needs to be shipped we will take care of
    everything on this end. You only need to show up at the airport at the
    appointed time to retrieve your puppy. We charge a set fee for shipping
    and that includes everything. You will receive a crate, insurance and
    health papers at no extra cost. There will be no add-ons or surprises. We
    use several different airlines depending on the best connection and
    scheduling for your area. We can give you a flight date at the time of
    purchase. We will eMail you the final flight plans with full details 2-3 days
    before the flight. Please be assured that the airlines and we will do
    everything in our power to assure that you receive a sound healthy
    puppy safely.  
                             ABOUT PUPPY GUARANTEES

    We have been in the professional livestock business our entire lives.
    There is one thing that you learn fast. Don’t breed animals with
    problems and don’t sell known potential problems. We occasionally
    sell a puppy with a minor problem but we sell it at a considerable
    discount and let the buyers know right up front what the problem is.
    Most times these are just cosmetic problems and in no way affect the
    health or longevity of the puppy.

    Since we have no control over the care of a puppy once it leaves
    here, we offer no guarantee other then a very thorough Vet exam
    prior to delivery. If the puppy is not 100% we will not ship it. We invite
    you to call our Vet to discuss the puppy you are buying to be
    assured that the puppy is healthy and sound.

    There is no guarantee against Coccidia, Guardia or Kennel Cough,  
     as these are sometimes stress induced or can be contacted by
     contact with sick puppies at the airport, vet's, etc. We vaccinate
     for Kennel Cough and we preventative treat our puppies for
     Coccidia and Guardia.  They will have a fecal exam by the Vet
     prior to shipping and will be clean at that time.   

    If something would come up with the puppy in the future that will
    prove to be of a hereditary nature and life threatening we will work
    with you. We want you to have a sound healthy puppy that will live
    out its normal life span with no serious problems.  You also must
    realize that you are buying a real live living critter and like people,
    sometimes they can get hurt or sick. You will have to expect to do
    your best to give this puppy quality and regular medical care and
    attention as needed with annual checkups, vaccinations, wormings,
    etc.

    We have considered a contract to cover all of the above, but have
    yet to read one that is not 90% plus in favor of the breeder/seller.
    Actually not worth the paper they are written on. If someone can
    show us a good contract that would benefit both us and the buyer,
    we would certainly consider it. In the meantime you have all this in
    writing, copies of our eMails and copies of the ads we run.

    Most important we have our reputation and we have references. We
    are licensed by both the USDA and the Missouri Dept. of Ag. and
    have Blue Ribbon Kennel status. We are one of only ten Blue
    Ribbon Kennels in the state of Missouri. We are closely monitored
    and have just passed our most recent inspection with 100%
    compliance. Click on the following link and check it out:
