GENERAL POLICY:
It is our kennel's policy to do what ever we can to match new owners and puppies/dogs . We make finding the best home for our dogs/puppies a major priority. Although we can not control situations and environments beyond our kennel grounds, we will always try to see that our new owners get a dog/puppy that will fit their needs and situation. In making this a priority, we hope to avoid not only unhappy owners, but unhappy dogs.
MEDICAL:
Our puppies and started or finished dogs are always current with vaccinations upon delivery. Complete health records are furnished for the new owner.
Puppies' hips are guaranteed to be free from hip dysplasia until their third birthday and replacement puppy will be furnished upon return of puppy and written diagnosis of hip dysplasia (per x-ray) from a licensed veterinarian. Choice of replacement puppy is ours. Any costs of shipping or transportation are the responsibility of the new owner.
PURCHASING A PUPPY:
Our puppies are sold on a first come first serve basis in order of receipt of down payments. Antelope Creek Kennels reserves "pick of the litter" of both male and female puppies of all litters unless otherwise advertised. If available, pick of the litter is an additional $100 over the basic puppy cost of $650. Puppies older then 12 weeks will increase in cost according to age, training, and misc additional costs such as vaccinations, etc.
To reserve a puppy please contact us regarding arrangements and what litter you are interested in, as well as sex and color of the puppy you would like. $50 down payment (non-refundable) must be received in order to reserve your pick. The remainder is due in cash or money order upon hand delivery of your puppy. For those pups being transported by other methods and/or people other then the new owners, balance is due one week prior to pick-up or delivery. Should we be unable to fill your order in a current litter, your request will be put on the waiting list for the next available litter in the next available pick slot. As a breeder, we limit our litters to one or two per year on a rotation schedule in order to insure quality of litters and the health of our females.
Antelope Creek puppies are not available for delivery until they are at least 10-12 weeks old. It is our recommendation that puppies NOT be seperated from their litter mates and the damn until this time. We believe that the early socialization of our puppies is the most critical time of their development, therefore delivery can and will not be made until they are a minimum of 10-12 weeks old.
See transportation section if you will need to have a puppy shipped.
