Electronic signatures are not available during the purchase process or any form of transportation for delivering puppies. Buyers should plan to pick their puppy up at the seller's location.
Buyer commits to providing a forever home for their dog.
If a Buyer is interested in either a show or breeding potential puppy, they should request it at the beginning of the process and receive agreement in writing. Not every puppy is suitable for these criteria. Puppies with show and breeding potential may have additional terms with a co-ownership agreement.
AKC registered names are assigned to puppies at the discretion of the seller. Pet names are made by the Buyer.
There is a straightforward process to match puppies with Buyers. The seller matches puppies to Buyers. This is done by the seller carrying out various tests, evaluations and training, and factoring preferences given to the seller by the Buyer. The seller makes a best effort to honor preferences, but availability cannot be guaranteed. The seller may have more than one puppy available for a Buyer to choose from, but this cannot be guaranteed.
Buyer preferences must be stated at the start of the agreement and confirmed in writing by the seller before they will be factored into any attempt at match making. Preferences cannot be changed or amended to at a later time. Please note that having no preference is also a preference and cannot be amended at a later time. Buyers may consider fewer preferences to increase availability of a puppy for them.
Buyers who express interest to the seller about a particular puppy, perhaps from a picture or video, will have the information noted by the seller, but availability of that puppy cannot be guaranteed nor does doing this replace preferences previously made. The seller will consider the information and if the puppy is available when matching puppies to Buyers. I urge Buyers to resist the temptation of setting their hearts on a particular puppy so the process can play out. They are pretty cute and I know this will be hard to do.
Buyers can be added to a wait list by carrying out 3 steps: a deposit of $500, stating preferences that are confirmed in writing by the seller, and agreeing to this Purchase Agreement. The Contact Me button below will generate an email, then copy and paste this agreement into your email, and write 'Agree' above the text on a blank line. Deposits are credited to the purchase price.
The seller will notify Buyers in the wait group when the bitch is being bred.
Returning deposits: 1) Deposits are refundable up to the time the bitch is bred. 2) If the seller is unable to provide a puppy based on the agreed criteria, the seller will give the Buyer the option of returning their deposit, offering another puppy if one is available, or leaving their deposit with the seller if a future litter is planned. An example is a Buyer preference for a female, and no female is available. 3) The seller may not refund a deposit if a Buyer rejects the puppy reserved for them based on the agreed criteria when the puppy available and offered. This includes changing their mind about buying a puppy or buying a puppy from another seller. If the seller has another Buyer for the rejected puppy, the Breeder may refund the deposit, but if the seller doesn't have another Buyer, the Buyer loses their deposit. It will be applied to unplanned extended care for the puppy.
The unpaid balance is due before the seller will transfer puppies to Buyers.
Puppies are transferred to Buyers of pet quality puppies with an AKC Limited Registration or transferred to Buyers of show potential puppies with a co-owner agreement. For AKC Limited Registration, full AKC registration will be granted after the Buyer provides documentation to the seller that their dog has been spayed or neutered. Male Dalmatians should not be neutered before they turn 2 years old. Female Dalmatians should complete at least 1 heat cycle and not be spayed before they are 18 months old. Please note that this is due to health impacts that will take effect but usually not surface until later in life if spaying or neutering is done before this. Co-owner agreements vary with Buyers and may include terms about showing, breeding, spaying and neutering.
The seller accepts payment electronically, via Zelle or Venmo. Both banking utilities provide a detailed footprint of the transaction. Cash, check, or PayPal are not accepted.
