Terms and Conditions

Please read the terms and conditions below carefully. It prevents misunderstandings and explains the seller and buyer obligations / expectations.
Unfortunately, not everything works as you read on the internet, our terms and conditions are set with the following in mind.
– Breeding Ethics.
– Anima Control Bylaws
– Kennel Bylaws set by Municipalities
– Finances needed to pay for our breeding program
– Our insurer and our landlord Insurer requirements.
– Landlord requirement for leasing the space we are using.
We try to be flexible and help the owners, however due to finances and legal requirements we have very limited resources.

Examples of regulations:
I can no-longer keep my 6 months old puppy. Can I return it? Having that older puppy in our kennel is against our local animal laws. As a responsible breeder I try my best to match you with a suitable home for your dog, but it may take a while to find a home for older dogs.
We are a hobby kennel not a commercial kennel. our business license (dog license) does not allow us to keep other people’s dogs. Also, we are usually at our city limit for the number of dogs we can keep in our premiss as a hobby kennel.

Health

We embark and Holter test our breeding dogs.

Vaccines + Parasites

We provide age-appropriate vaccine for our puppies. Usually, they have had one vaccine and 1 booster before new owners take possession of their puppies. this will reduce the risk of them getting sick and also save the new owner one vet visit for one booster.  (Approximately $200 in Canada). Puppies will go home at least 3X dewormed.

CKC Registered Vs Unregistered

We offer both CKC registered ( AKC, FCI eligible) and unregistered dogs. We charge for paperwork, admin fees, and extra fees associated with them for our registered dogs (fees in pricing page). All puppies in a litter will be unregistered or registered. Once we submit a litter for a registration, they all needs to be registered. and all puppy owners are to follow our registered puppy pricing. If we are not registering a litter we cannot make an exception for a single or just a few puppies. If it is important for you to have a registered puppy, please let us know so we can assign you to the right litter. The money we charge for our registered puppies cover (registration, none-breeding agreement, Lawyer fees for legal paper work for tenant insurance, admin and accounting fees, GST/PST taxes for the mentioned services)

Viewing

Viewing of adult dogs are done from behind fence. (Insurance requirements, No exceptions)
puppies can only be viewed in person one week after they receive their first vaccine. I vaccinate my puppies at 5 weeks of age, so first viewing is sometimes during week 6. I will give them a second dose booster at 8 weeks on the day they are going home.

Pickup Date

Unless its arranged, agreed in writing in advance the animal must be picked up by buyer within one week from when animal is 8 weeks of age for natural ears or two weeks after cropping surgery, or by shipping date, otherwise a kennel fee of $70 CAD /night to look after the animal. The animal will be held until the pickup date if a deposit has been received.

Deposits and Refunds of Deposits

Deposits are 100% refundable until 1 week before the animal is born. Deposit is 50% refundable less any transaction fees occurred until the animal starting their 7 days of age (1 week old), Deposits are not refundable after animal is older than 1 weeks (7 days) of age. Deposit is non-refundable once the animal is booked for cropping/docking. We usually book our cropping before animals are born if you are reserving for cropped puppies, take that into account. as your last day to ask for refund is 7 days (1 week) before they are born.
Deposits will be deducted from the total purchase price or is transferable to a future litter (will be none refundable if transferred). 

Returns and Refunds

We understand that in some situations such as family members having pet allergies, or other unforeseen circumstances the new owner may not be able to keep their animal. We do not have any refund however we can rehome your animal for you if returned within 4 days from when you take possession of the animal if the animal is less than 3 months of age.  We need to make sure we rehome them before 4 months of age, due to city bylaws, so we do not have any exceptions.
Because of the exposure they had to the outside world, viruses, parasites, and bacteria, if a puppy is returned, we need to send them to an offsite place for a minimum of 10 days. This step is required as we usually have unvaccinated puppies on site and it has to be done by our trusted pet sitter that follows our guidelines for quarantine. Our pet sitters charge around $80 CAD + GST per night. If within these 10 days we find a new home for them we will rehome the puppy conditionally, if no diseases occur, we refund the puppy price less any fees used for pet sitter, and rehoming fees. If the animal is in distress and/or have sign of nongenetic disease that are not covered by our health guarantee or accidents, the current owner is responsible for its medical costs and quarantine. After the quarantine period is over, the animal will stay with us free of charge until we find a new owner. we may sell it at a reduced discount to make sure we can find a proper home for them before they get older (city bylaws do not allow us to keep older puppies). we will refund the rehoming sale price less quarantine fee + anything we spend for food and advertisements to rehome the puppy. If you keep the puppy until rehoming, we refer clients to you and you don’t have to pay any quarantine fees. you can set your own rehoming fee for the dog. Because of City bylaws and our kennel limits we won’t be able to hold puppies that are older than 4 months of age. If you are adopting an older puppy, take that into consideration. You will have to hold the puppy until we (seller) or you (buyer) find a new home for them. Any medical attention that is needed during the rehoming period, whether the animal stays with the seller or the buyer is the responsibility of the buyer. EXCEPT if it is included in the health guarantee. There are no return for older/ adult dogs. we will refer potential home (clients) for your pets. Untrained or intact animals are extremely hard to rehome. We encourage every owner to start training early and be firm with their dogs specially with their male dogs.  Transaction fees and bank fees will be deducted from refunds.   for email transfer within Canada its approximately $10. our bank charges % to deposit cash. For international, it is a case by case. International refunds: we refund any money that we receive in local currency. There may be a bit of difference in the exchange rate from your payment date and refund date.

Emergency Fund

We recommend the buyer to set aside an emergency fund for your dog’s medical needs. You can reduce your emergency funds by obtaining a health insurance. 

Spay / Neutering

For a city living style and dogs and owners enjoying dog parks and common places, i recommend neutering male dogs at early age before they start becoming mature. ( 6 ~ 7  months of age). intact males have territory and may not do well with other dogs. if your dog is staying on a farm or will be a forever house dogs keeping them intact until their body is fully developed ( 2 years of age) is healthier for them, however it can be challenging for most owners to keep an intact dog.

None Breeding / Pet only

Our goal is to produce healthy animals, and with such a goal we are strict about breeding practices when it comes to our animals. The animal sold is for pet purpose only and shall not be bred. For our animals that are part of a Kennel Club Organization such as CKC or AKC, we require the buyer to sign and pay a none-breeding agreement with that kennel club. (CKC = The Canadian Kennel Club, AKC = American Kennel Club, FCI, etc.).

Breeding Dogs:

Our CKC breeding dogs are sold without any contract. they are usually priced in USD. $4500 ~ $5500 USD for a natural or docked puppy. Cropping Cost are extra.

Training

We highly recommend all new owners to take and finish minimum of one (1) full obedience course before puppy is 6 months of ages with a recognized trainer. The obedience training should be started no later than when the puppy starts its 5 months of age. I recommend kindergarten level training at 3 months of age or younger. And obedience at 4 months of age. I do post basic training online for you to follow, so buyer do not fall behind when they are waiting for their puppy to receive at least 2 boosters. However, that does not substitute for a good in person training with a competent trainer.  You pick your own trainer; you are not required to take your training with us. This will make your time with your dog more enjoyable for many years to come.
