4. Refund and forfeiture policy
  • Non-refundable: The deposit is non-refundable if the buyer cancels the sale for any reason. The buyer is responsible for the full sales price. 
  • Breach of agreement: If the final payment is not made by the due date and no other written agreement is made, the puppy may be placed back on the market, and the buyer forfeits the deposit.

Pickup process

  • Scheduled appointment: All pickups are by appointment only. The Buyer must schedule the pickup with the Breeder.
  • Transportation: The Buyer must bring an appropriate carrier, crate, or method of safe and secure transport for the journey home.
  • Meet and greet: The pickup will take place at the Breeder's residence, W1941 State Road 92, Brooklyn, WI. 
  • Paperwork: The Breeder will provide all necessary paperwork at pickup, including vaccination records, microchip information, the signed sales contract.

What to bring for the journey home

  1. Carrier or crate: An appropriately sized crate is recommended for the car ride, especially if you are traveling alone. 
  2. Leash and collar/harness: Always use a leash and collar or harness for safety.
  3. Scented blanket: A blanket or toy from the mother and littermates can help the puppy feel more secure. 
  4. Food and water: Bring enough food for the trip and bottled water with a bowl. Many recommend pre-bagging food for each meal. Puppies have been eating Kinetic Performance Puppy Formula.
  5. Treats: Bring treats to reward good behavior. 
  6. Cleaning supplies: Have paper towels, wet wipes, and cleaning supplies for potential accidents, as the puppy may not be potty trained yet. 
Planning the pickup
  • Time of day: 
    Arranging to pick up the puppy early in the day allows them more time to adjust to their new home before the first night.
