ADOPTION & GUARANTEE
Our Guarantee
We guarantee that to the best of our knowledge that your puppy is free of diseases, congenital, and genetic defects. We will not knowingly breed or sell puppies from parents that have a known hereditary deficiency.
We further guarantee that an excessive effort is made to keep the puppy healthy and the living facilities clean. We guarantee your puppy until age one against any life threatening or significant quality of life altering, congenital or genetic birth defect. We feel so strongly in our program, we even offer to extend your health guarantee to two years if you will continue your pup on the vitamin we start with them to help build their immune system. (Nuvet Vitamin)
At their first check up with us, our Veterinarian examines their ears, eyes, teeth, bite, heart, lungs, lymph nodes, knees, hips, range of motion of joints, bone structure and overall health. Your puppy will be up-to-date on shots and will have been on a complete de-worming schedule and will have a fecal exam to insure there are no worms present.
We do NOT guarantee against Giardia or Coccidia, commonly occurring microbial parasites in dogs and are known to be brought on by stress and passed by healthy adult carriers. If these are found during our fecal sample, we are happy to treat them with the recommended dewormer and prescribed "Metronidazole", and will send home documentation from the vet stating your pup was seen and treated. Giardia can show up in a test for up to 6 weeks after treatment, even though your pup may show no signs of being affected. A lab result is needed to determine if your pup has an active case or not. Giardia tests are sensitive, even flagging dead cysts as "positive" and our vet says it's extremely common. They only treat it if loose stool is present. Otherwise, the immune system will fight it off eventually.
We recommend that you have you puppy health checked by your Veterinarian, within 5 days of pickup, to confirm the health of your puppy.
Pet Allergies?
Are pet allergies a concern? Do you want to see if you would have a reaction before you adopt? Now you can!
Before you adopt any puppy with us you get to meet the puppy but meeting the puppy isn’t always an accurate test for your allergies. While you may not have a reaction to the puppy, at the puppy showing, you may have a reaction to the parent dog the puppy has been with.
To get the most accurate reaction, we’re now offering a T-shirt allergy test.
The cost is $75 with free OVERNIGHT shipping! We send you a t-shirt that has been exposed to the dander and saliva of a puppy and mother in the generation or litter you’re interested in. We mail this shirt to you for you or your loved one to wear. This exposure should trigger allergic reactions, should you have any, to our puppies.
Message me to order a T-shirt test today!
Boarding Rates
If your pup has been reserved and has a scheduled go home day, we give 2 days to arrange pick up. If you need more time than that, we offer boarding for up to 1 week past the Go Home Day. This means that young pups who stay for temporary boarding after their Go Home Day are still with their other non picked up littermates in the play area during the day, let out for supervised play time, let out for potty breaks, and then sleep at night in the play area.
If you pup needs to stay at our home for LONGER than 7 days after the assigned Puppy Pickup Day, we would need to discuss adding our Puppy Preschool Program. We offer multiple options! (2 week, 3 week, and 4 week stays) This would actually help you start inforcing the Crate and Potty training routine that we recommend so that they are not behind when you get them.
We are no longer able to offer boarding for our Doodles and Doxies Families, now that we are ODA Licensed with the State of Ohio. However, we do have several teammates that open their home to in-home boarding and we are happy to refer you! They are highly recommended by us, and we would trust them with any of our dogs! Boarding rate is $45/day for adults that need it.
Delivery Fee
By Flight:
DMV Flight Nanny Team: $50 to take your pup to the airport, and his FLAT RATE price is typically $600-750 (for West Coast). I've never see him quote more than those prices per region. Sometimes it's LESS. This is ALL INCLUSIVE, covering his service fee in addition to the airfare and pet fee.
By Ground: $1.00/mile roundtrip
**25% Discounted delivery rate for all parties if other dogs are added to our trip
Reservation List
A $200 non-refundable reservation fee is required to hold a spot on any future litter or waitlist of your choice. This deposit can be transferable to another litter if the litter you originally decided on does not end up having the gender or color you were hoping for. Please keep in mind that there are circumstances where a litter won't have enough puppies for everyone on the list. You agree to these terms when you decide to submit your deposit. We make EVERY effort to work with you and make sure you are aware of your options with each litter. If you choose to no longer get a pup from us, the deposit will not be returned. We also reserve the right to decide that you are no longer a good candidate for one of our puppies, in which case we would immediately refund all deposits you have made to that point.
Deposits can be made through the SECURE checkout process of Gooddog.com. We are proud to be members of their site. Their selective interview process gives our clients the confidence of knowing that we had to submit PROOF of genetic health testing before being approved to post! They offer to accept payments and PROTECT your payment, offering a refund if you do not receive a puppy from us! You can make your deposit payment or even the full puppy payment here. NO other financial institution or electronic payment option provides protection to both seller and buyer.
Puppy Selection Day
When a litter arrives, I will send a picture of the newborn litter identifying the parents and newborn males and females to everyone on that litter's Wait List. I will let you know the exact pickup date for the pups and will call/contact you in the order that your deposit came in. For example, if one of our moms has 6 puppies, I will send the newborn pictures to the first 6 families on the Wait list.
I will ask you 2 questions:
1. Will the pick up date work for you?
2. Do you want a male or female? I will let you know where you’d be sitting for choosing a pup of a specific gender. THE INDIVIDUAL PUPS ARE NOT SELECTED UNTIL 2-3 weeks old for the mini dachshunds, and 5 weeks old for the Doodles. You won’t be selecting one at birth. Only the gender is decided at that point.
Please note, transferring to another litter means you take the next available spot on the next litter of your choice, regardless of what spot you held on the previous litter.
On Puppy Selection Day (around 3-5 weeks old), we go in order starting with #1 Pick for boy and girl. We offer FaceTime Chatting with each member of our waitlist so that you can see the pups live. Puppy Temperaments are NOT established at this point. We find that most clients already have their mind made up on other preferences (color, gender, coat, size) and we always offer the option to pass on your selected puppy at any point before Go Home Day if we feel the temperament is not going to be the right fit for what they are looking for. Your deposits made would put you back on the Waitlist for the next litter.
Once you have selected your puppy on Puppy Selection Day, another fee of $300.00 is required to secure your puppy until the day they go home with you. This will be a total of $500 in non refundable deposits that will go towards the final price of your puppy. The remainder of the puppy's balance will be due in Cash on pick up day. We also offer GoodDog as the only electronic option of payment. If your pup is flying, we have Delivery Options, and Delivery needs to be finalized 3 weeks prior to pick up. If you are having your puppy flown or delivered to you, your balance is due in FULL through GoodDog the day before your puppy travels.
