High Point Kennels Puppy Policies
Waiting List
It is recommended to place your name on the waiting list of the litter of puppies you are interested in. A $200 deposit will hold a puppy for you. This deposit will be applied to the purchase price of your puppy. If you decide to purchase a puppy from another breeder your deposit becomes non-refundable. If there is not a puppy that meets your expectations in the litter you have chosen you can move your deposit onto another litter. If you move your choice to another litter and there is already a waiting list started, your choice will be placed behind the others already on the list. I will honor your deposit for one year.
Purchasing Your Puppy
It is reccommended that you come out to the kennel to meet the puppies in person. If this is not possible then I will assist you on picking out the right puppy for you based on three criteria and their order of importance. The criteria are the sex of the puppy, hunting instincts and coat color. You are more than welcome to pay for your puppy with a bank check, cash or credit card. State taxes are included in the purchase price of your puppy. The full purchase price must be paid prior to transfer of the puppy. All puppies come with AKC registration papers that will be held until a signed sales aggreement has been filled out and payment has been received in full.
Shipping Your Puppy
I am happy to ship your puppy anywhere in the contenintal United States, Alaska and Canada. I charge and additional $250-350 for my shipping costs. These costs include the health certificate, travel crate, crate pad, food and water bowls, collar, fuel, road tolls and my time. The airline ticket is the buyer's responsibility. The puppies will be shipped COD. I will only ship with major airlines and the weather can determine which airline is available. I will make all the neccessary arrangements with the airlines to ship your puppy to the nearest international airport in your area. I will not use an agent to ship your puppy to you, this is strictly an agreement between the buyer and myself. If you are a scammer than forget contacting me about shipping a puppy.
I will keep all the receipts from the various vendors that I use to ship your puppy. These receipts will be sent to you after you have received your puppy. A refund will be issued if one is due. AKC registration papers will be mailed to you with the receipts and refund. All paperwork and puppy shipping will be held until a signed sales agreement has been received and payment is made in full.
Health Guarantee
Your puppy is guaranteed to be healthy and veterinary examined prior to transfer. This guarantee is good for the first seven days after purchase. During this time if your puppy gets sick and is in need of veterinary care, it needs to be returned to the Seller if possible. The Seller will have the puppy treated at no cost to the Buyer and returned to the Buyer after treatment. If the Buyer uses their own veterinarian for treatment when it was possible to return the puppy to the Seller, the Buyer is responsible for the costs of treatment. The Buyer has been made aware that the puppy is not fully protected from infectious diseases and will do everything in their control to protect the puppy from exposure. This includes, but is not limited to, avoiding high dog concentrated areas such as pet food stores, dog parks and any other areas of potential infection.
The Buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by their own veterinarian within the first seven days. If the puppy gets sick and the Buyer has not had the puppy examined then any and all treatment costs are the responsibility of the Buyer.
Puppies that are shipped and crossed state linesare not covered with the health guarantee.
Genetic Guarantee
All puppies from High Point Kennels are covered with a genetic guarantee. Hip dysplasia screening has been done with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) on all sires and dams, and only dogs with a grading of 'Excellent' or 'Good' have been used for breeding. If your puppy has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, an OFA grading of 'Poor' done at two years of age is required prior to a refund of the purchase price. A Penn Hip grading of less than 35 will also be accepted for a refund of the purchase price.
Other genetic defects are also covered with the guarantee including OCD lesions, seizures, and metabolic disorders. All genetic defects must be accompanied with diagnostic radiographs or bloodwork prior to a refund being issued.
Along with the refund of the purchase price the Buyer can choose another puppy from the next available litter at no cost.
Umbilical hernias are common and are not covered with this guarantee. If your puppy has developed an umbilical hernia the Seller will discount the purchase price by $50 or pay your veterinarian $50 towards the repair of the hernia. Most hernias will be repaired prior to the transfer of the puppy to the Buyer.
