PURCHASE PRICE

The purchase price for a puppy will be $1500 and come with limited AKC Registration OR Full AKC Registration. Part of the purchase price will be paid immediately with this agreement as a deposit to guarantee that seller will hold the puppy for delivery to the buyer on a specified delivery date.  The balance due , after crediting the deposit ,  will be paid in Cash ,Cashier Check, or PayPal at the time of delivery of the puppy to the buyer.   This purchase price does NOT include any delivery charge (if any) which is calculated separately.

DEPOSIT

(Surety of Action Deposit usually 50% of the Purchase Price) is required to hold this puppy for the buyer until date of delivery. There are no refunds on deposits, unless otherwise agreed here in writing. Failure of the buyer to complete this purchase would subject the seller to sell the puppy to another buyer and retention of the deposit is meant to compensate seller for possible losses. This deposit signifies the intent on the part of the buyer to follow through with the purchase of this puppy. The seller reserves the right to void this transaction and refund the deposit if we learn of any reason why buyer might not be suitable for the puppy ( i.e. buyer is found to be an animal abuser, violent person, representative of a pet store, representative of a pharmaceutical research laboratory etc.) .  If the transaction is voided or if through some tragic accident the puppy were to die or otherwise be seriously injured before it goes to its new home then, of course, the deposit will be returned to the buyer; unless the buyer wishes to apply the deposit to another available puppy, or to a puppy from the next available litter.

PREFERRED DEPOSIT PAYMENT METHOD IS PAYPAL.COM

Our preferred method of payment is by Credit or Debit Card.  Please do not email or otherwise give us your credit/debit card information, we don’t need to see the information and we will not ever see it.  The transaction will all be done as a secured transaction by PayPal.com. We will send you an invoice email via PayPal.com. To make the deposit payment, you simply follow the instructions in the Invoice Email from PayPal.com and make the payment through them.  You do NOT have to have a PayPal Account set up already. It is actually simpler if you do not have a PayPal account or use a different email from any existing PayPal account. The PayPal.com invoice email just requires you to fill in a payment form providing your name, address and phone number. On the second page you provide the credit or debit card charge information. You can use Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express to pay the deposit or full payment. Your deposit is paid and your puppy is reserved for you . The alternative,  enclose a cashier’s check for the deposit amount and mail it to Josh Beshears, Canaanland German Shepherds, 5480 Holcomb Drive, Reno, TX 75462.  We will not reserve a puppy until the payment is received. If the puppy you like is NOT available at the time we receive the deposit, we will contact you and determine if you want your deposit returned, or applied to another puppy from a future litter.

DELIVERY OF PUPPY

We do Not Ship. There will be No exceptions when it comes to young puppies.  We do deliver puppies personally within a reasonable distance or you can pick your puppy up at Canaanland German Shepherds. This puppy will be available for the buyer to pick up personally at Canaanland German Shepherds or an agreed upon location.  This date is based on our estimation of when the puppy will be naturally weaned and ready to leave its Mom.  Typically our puppies stay with their Moms at an absolute minimum of 6 weeks of age, but more often 8-12 weeks of age. If the Buyer is not able to pick up the puppy on the stated Delivery Date, we will be glad to continue caring for the Puppy for a reasonable time-limited to 30 days unless otherwise arranged, but we will add a charge of $2 per day for boarding for every day after the scheduled pickup date.

DELIVERY CHARGE

The seller is also happy to personally deliver puppies to their new homes or to meet the buyer at an agreed upon location.  We charge .56 cents per mile times the roundtrip mileage we drive as a delivery charge.  This Delivery Charge is designed to pay for our gasoline and out of pocket expenses on a trip and may actually be less than .56 cents per mile depending on individual circumstances.
