Our Policy

First of all, I am looking for a responsible person who is willing to take GREAT care of my puppies when determining a buyer. Buyers must agree to keep an eye on the dog throughout it's lifespan making sure not to let it run loose through the neighborhood unsupervised. This is how pit bulls get the bad reputation that they have. Socialization is a large part of being a responsible owner but even a good dog can do bad things if left to run loose without supervision.

IMPORTANT: Please read our Health Guarantee before placing a deposit on one of our breedings.

Included with Puppy are:

• Full UKC and ADBA registration papers.
• Up-to-date vaccinations and dewormings.
• Socialization with both children and adults.

Deposits to Reserve a Puppy:

• Early reservations are highly recommended. Our dogs are in high demand and sell very quickly.
• Deposit order determines your pick number.
• First pick deposits are usually $450, all other picks are usually $350.
• Deposits go toward purchase price of $1200 for first picks, and $1000 for all other picks.
• We start off taking 3 deposits for each sex, when the litter is born we will take more depending on what we have.
• Deposits are non-refundable. We are not a bank and cannot hold the money for you. Your deposit is your promise to us that you do intend to buy a puppy from one of our litters sometime in the future.
• If the sex of the puppy you wanted is not available, then you will be moved to the next available litter. If the deposit or price of the puppy is more on the next litter, you will be expected to pay that price (this is rare).

Paying for a Puppy:

• We take deposits by Paypal or by U.S. Postal Money Order sent to our home. Paypal deposits include a 4% fee that they charge us to use their service. Postal Money Orders do not include a fee and can be bought at any U.S. Post Office, they are easy to track and are always accepted.
• Puppies must be paid for in full by the age of 7 weeks old, or the buyer's deposit will be forfeited and the puppy will be put back up for sale.
• If you are picking the puppy up at our home you may pay when you pick the puppy up. You will need to bring cash or a postal money order, we do not accept personal checks. Please let us know ahead of time if you are going to pay at pickup.

Picking a Puppy from the Litter:

• Buyers who have 1st picks must choose their pick by the age of 6 weeks old or we will pick for you, that is unless we have allowed the buyer to pick out their puppy at pickup time. If you are having the puppy shipped and you have first pick, you must pick by 6 weeks old to allow the others time to pick out their puppy when they need to.
• All other picks must be chosen before they turn 7 weeks old. That is unless many people decide to pick up their puppy in person, in that case we may allow you to choose your puppy at pickup time. Everyone must come in their pick order if we decide to do that.
• Make sure that your contact information is up to date with us, we cannot be held responsible for you not picking your puppy in time if we cannot contact you.
• People will take turns picking according to what pick number they have, starting with first picks. After a person has picked, we will then notify the next person in line on the pick list that it is their turn to pick.
• We take group shots of all puppies once a week before their eyes open. After their eyes open, we will take 2-3 pictures of each puppy at different angles every 2 weeks until it is time for them to go to their new homes.

Transferring a Deposit to Another Litter:

• If you should decide that there is not a puppy in the litter that you want, the deposit can be transferred to a future litter but we must know that you want to transfer the deposit BEFORE the puppies reach 6 weeks of age. This gives us time to find the little guy a new home because others will know which puppies are available to choose from.
• If you transfer your deposit to another litter, you will be placed after the other names already on the list. If you had first pick on the litter you transferred from, you may get first pick on the litter you transfer to, if someone else or we have not reserved first pick on that litter for that sex. Getting first pick once you transfer from one litter to another is not guaranteed because of this.
• We have been breeding dogs for over a decade and plan to keep breeding them for many more years. Please keep up with the breedings we have going on if you have decided to transfer a deposit. Just let us know when a breeding interests you and we will then put your deposit toward that breeding.

Picking a Puppy Up at Our Home:

• Puppies go to their new homes at 8 weeks old.
• If you would like to pick your puppy out in person, instead of using the photos on our website, please contact us and we may be able to work with you on arranging a time to visit us. In order to do this, you must be able to accommodate us and the others on the pick list by arriving at a time that is agreeable to us and the pick order so that others can pick their puppies on time.
• If you have last pick in the litter, it is always OK to wait until pickup time to pick out your puppy because no one will be waiting on you to make your choice.
• We will announce a pickup day and time for everyone to arrive on for those picking their puppy out in person. You will need to get here early so that you can pick in the order that you are listed on the pick list. That is only fair to everyone, we will give you at least an hour to get here after your designated time. If you do not arrive within that time frame and the next person shows up at their scheduled time, they will be allowed to go ahead and pick their puppy from the litter.
• We are located in Adairsville, GA.
• We have hotels close by to make this process easy on you. We are 1-2 miles off of the interstate. Good planning will make this easier on everyone, and a happier trip for both buyers families and their new little puppies.

Shipping:

• Puppies are shipped at 9 weeks old, usually on the Saturday or Sunday that the puppies are that age. I would like to ship them at 8 weeks old but I must be here to meet the people that are picking puppies up, so I have to do it the following weekend if you need shipping.
• Shipping is an extra $375. This includes crate, all required documents, and transportation.
• We prefer not to ship our puppies unless you are really far away and cannot possibly pick up your puppy.
• Shipping must be paid for in full by the age of 7 weeks old.
• Delta will ship puppies when temperatures are between 20-70 degrees at any point during the flight.
• Continental airlines will ship puppies when temperatures are between 20-85 degrees.
• If you are plan to ship the puppy. Please make sure that your area will be in the temperature ranges above BEFORE placing a deposit!

Fees:

If you cannot pick the puppy up at the designated time of pickup, please talk with us first and we may be able to work something out. If you do not talk to us about it and you miss the designated pickup day, each day following that will be charged $10 per day to cover additional vaccinations, food, and care needed at that time. This charge is in place mainly to deter people from waiting too long to pick their puppy up. You wouldn't believe how long people try to leave puppies if you don't put rules in place! I am flexible enough to allow pickup a few days late with no charges if people talk to me about it first and we can agree on a new time. We give the puppies plenty of attention and love but not as much as they would have if they were to be with the family that bought them. They need constant one-on-one attention and we have many dogs that we have to distribute that attention to. So it just isn't fair to make the puppies wait for too long. They are very impressionable at that age so it is the best time for them to become adjusted to a new family.
