Buying a started dog is always an exciting and sometimes nerve racking experience. We like to be as black and white as possible so both parties are on the same page. We will NOT hold a dog without a deposit down on the dog. Buyer WILL be subject to sign a liability form if the dog doesn't leave right away or continues training with us as apart of the purchase agreement. When we sell a started-finished dog, the dog will be overseen by our vet of choice, Dr. Lisa Reiter, before leaving our facility. We don't offer a guarantee. Our refund policy states that if you decide to back out of a started dog for any reason while the dog in training at our facility, we will relist, resell, and then refund you after the dog has sold. You will be refunded the full amount you had paid down on the dog. The does not include remaining unpaid balance.
