All
Timaru dogs/puppies are from breedings determined to benefit
the breed, with soundness both mental and physical. Sires and dams are OFA
(certified clear of hip dysplasia), and CERF (certified clear of eye defects)
Dogs/Puppies
are raised in our homes and are given daily socialization. All are raised
on a natural diet and receive the appropriate health preventatives for
their age. All puppies are eye checked clear (by a certified canine ophthalmologist)
before going to their new homes.
In
addition... each individual puppy's placement is determined according
to that specific puppy's personality, and by the role it will play within
its new family. Because as breeders we feel it is very important to place
each puppy in the right home, we carefully evaluate each puppy's temperament
as it is growing up in order to make this determination.
All
dogs/puppies are registered with the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club), and eligible
for both ASCA & AKC registration, and are sold with one of the following
written contracts:
Spay / Neuter - which guarantees the health of the dog/puppy, and
that they will be free from hereditary defects. Puppies sold with this
type of contract are wonderful companions, and performance dogs, but are
not suitable for showing in conformation or breeding. Owner will receive
Limited Registration papers. CONTRACT - Companion
Breeding / Show - which guarantees the health of the dog/puppy,
and that they will be free from all show disqualifying faults and hereditary
defects affecting its suitability for breeding. Puppies sold with this
type of contract are suitable for showing and breeding. These dogs/puppies
will be co-owned until the dog is OFA, CERF and has earned one of the
following titles: CH., CDX, or other Open performance title. Owners will
receive Full Registration papers.
CONTRACT - Show/Breeding
Breeding / Show quality puppies will be sold to serious show homes
only, and not strictly for breeding purposes.
Please understand that the careful breeding of puppies on a limited basis
is not a made-to-order business. Reservations are restricted by what is
whelped (color, sex, quality, etc.), as well as by our waiting list, with
priority given to those on the list the longest. We try to be as expedient
as possible in determining which puppies are Show/Breeding quality and
which are Companion/Pet quality. Show/Breeding quality is not determined
by color or markings apparent at birth, but is contingent upon overall
structure and movement which cannot be estimated until between 7-8 weeks
of age. Both Companion/Pet and Show/Breeding puppies are physically and
mentally sound, the differences being based on the dog's comparison to
the breed standard. Only puppies determined to contribute to the betterment
of the breed are sold as Show/Breeding quality.
Reservations
- When a reservation for a dog is placed, a $100.00 nonrefundable deposit
is required, which will be deducted from the purchase price of the dog.
No dogs will be held without a deposit. Should a breeding not produce
the specific type (companion or show/breeding), color or sex reserved,
the buyer may use the deposit towards another puppy from the same litter,
a puppy from a future litter OR the deposit may be refunded. (Please note
that deposits will NOT be refunded for any other reason.)
