Our
terms have changed beginning 2007. Please note what is stated below
before applying to be considered as a potential owner.
Cupidtown dogs are not sold without a contract of sale. This contract is
a legally binding agreement which was designed with the fairness of the
purchaser, breeder, and dog in mind. Once you have made an application
for adopting one of our fur babies, you can then proceed to fill in the
necessary paper work to either email or post to me. This will take place prior
to the final stage of adoption, the collection or shipping. If you are
not willing to sign sale contracts, then please make your purchases elsewhere.
Take your time to read the contracts thoroughly and if you agree with the
terms, then you can sign and return the original contract to the address which
will be provided to you.
Unfortunately, due to security reasons, I
no longer allow visitors to my private residence. Please understand, that
although I would love for you to come and see our puppies in their home, it is
also our home and I cherish my privacy, the security of all my dogs and don't
expose myself or my dogs to any risks.
All our puppies are vet checked, immunized, and registered with the Victorian
Canine Association now known as Dogs Victoria.
If they are pets only, they will be registered on limit register. This
means that the dog/bitch sold is for pet only, and cannot be bred, exhibited,
or exported. We request all pets be castrated and or spayed. Upon
sending us the proof they have been spayed or castrated, at six months old,
(which is usually the best time as any retained baby teeth can also be removed
at the time) sparing the dog to have to undergo anesthetic more than once, we
will forward the limit registration pedigree. If the purchaser does not intend
on becoming a member of their kennel association and does not require the limit
registration pedigree, send the form relinquishing the rights to such
documentation.
I require a $200 deposit on the puppy by age of six weeks old and the rest of
the amount paid in full prior to the pup being freighted or at the time of pick
up at an allocated area. The deposit is non refundable, except as stated below.
The
only time a deposit will be refunded to a purchaser is if the breeder decides
to withdraw the puppy from sale, such as if the puppy fails the medical at
eight weeks old. In which case, the purchaser will be refunded the
deposit, or by agreement, roll it over on to another puppy. If the
breeder feels the purchaser is not suitable for adoption of a puppy, confirmed
through communications leading up to the sale, the breeder will refund the deposit.
I am happy to keep in contact, via email with potential buyers and will give
preference to the potential buyers who do make the effort to allow me to get to
know them better prior to the actual adoption. Pictures of the babies and
updates will only be given to potential buyers showing a keen interest and have made the deposit.
Puppies will be sold with diet and care sheets and all necessary information
for the welfare of the puppy and Health Certificate. I also make myself
available for any questions via email and guarantee quick responses. In fact, I
like to keep in touch with adoptive puppy parents and learn of the dog's
progress.
Dogs/bitches/pups on full registration pedigree, for showing and or breeding
purposes, will no longer be made available to breeders/exhibitors within
Australia. We may make an exception to this, depending on the
circumstances.
We are located in Australia, so for overseas inquiries, please check with your
importation companies for what requirements and cost will be involved with
purchasing a puppy from Australia. Thankfully, Australia is a rabies free
country, and to my knowledge, apart from blood tests, there appears not to be a
need for quarantine when Australian dogs are exported. Onus is up to the
purchaser to make these inquiries with the appropriate authorities in their
home country.
During Summer, puppies will only be freighted when there is a cool change, or early morning. Pick ups the same rule applies.
I am happy to answer more questions if what you have read here is not
sufficient. Drop me an email and I will do my best to answer your
questions.
