Schraderhaus K9

 ~Policy on Deposits~

for Pups and Adult Dogs

As is standard throughout the dog industry,
Deposits for securing a pup or adult dog
are non-refundable.

This is to insure that both the purchaser as well as the seller are
protected on the sale of the pup / dog for which the deposit is being given.
Deposits are placed by you for securing your choice for a pup / dog
you wish to purchase from Schraderhaus K9 .
Regarding our puppies, your timely deposit will secure the next available
designated puppy pick from our upcoming litter. 
Your deposit prevents this puppy from being sold to another purchaser.
If you are not positive about sending a deposit, or your housing situation for
bringing a pup into your home is unsure at that time,
you may want to consider waiting until everything is right...
in the best interest of you and your new puppy.

Deposits secure a pup in the order they are received. 

When you verbally confirm with us that you are sending your deposit
via postal money order or cashier check,
we request that it be sent to us via
Fed Ex. or Priority Next Day Postal Mail.
We then tentatively
reserve the pup for you
for 48 hours; 
allowing for holidays and weekends during this reservation period.
During this 48 hour period,
availability of said pup is removed from access to other buyers,
with the understanding that the deposit is to be received
by our facility within this time allotment. 
If your deposit has not arrived within this 48 hour time period
 the pup may then be released for sale to other buyers.
This means that if another client sends a deposit from our
website via PayPal or via Priority  Next Day mail, and their deposit is
documented prior to your deposit being sent /received within the reserved time frame,
they are ahead of you in pick # choice for a puppy from the designated litter.
It is for this reason that we offer the option for deposit to be made
via PayPal  from our website,
whereby the deposit secures a pup for you immediately.

PayPal is a secure site. 
We are not connected with PayPal in any capacity except
as means to facilitate our sales transactions.
If you do not currently have a PayPal account,
you may establish one via the PayPal page from our website
or by going directly to www.paypal.com    

When purchasing a Schraderhaus Pup, preference is given to clients
 purchasing the pup with full registration, their goal being
to title / breed the dog.
This is because we strive to place our dogs into homes who work the dog
or to clients who intend to utilize them in their breeding programs.
Typically we reserve the first two males and two females of each of our litters
solely for purchase by clients wanting full registration.
This allows the # 1 and # 2 male and female pups to go to homes
intending to breed or trial / work the pups, contributing
toward our goal of improvement of the breed as a whole.
  At times pups from our litters are offered for purchase with
your choice of full or limited registration status.
Clients who intend to purchase the dog as a home companion dog /
personal home protection dog, oftentimes choose to have the dog neutered.
It is for this reason that, occasionally, 
if you are sending a deposit on an upcoming litter, it is possible that a pup
being sold with limited registration would be
 placed in line for a puppy behind picks #1 and #2... male or female from a litter...
 even though there may be no other deposits yet received on the litter.
However, your inquiry as to status on puppy pick
will be disclosed to you at the time you choose to send your deposit. 
Then, should you wish to have # 1 or # 2  pick of the litter, it is
 an option for you to move up to full registration status on the pup
if the # 1 and # 2 pups are still available from the litter in which you are interested. 
This allows you to have a choice of 1st or 2nd pick on the litter
but  ONLY ...
if the pup is not already reserved. 

The above policy is standard for our kennel, unless denoted verbally by us
at the time you are discussing your deposit and puppy choices...
Changes or exceptions will then be followed up in writing on an addendum contract
along with the sales contract we send to you, following receipt of your deposit.  

Deposit Rollovers...
Unless specified in writing at the time the deposit is taken,
we roll over deposits which have been received for a pup from a
specified upcoming litter in the unlikely event the litter is not conceived. 
This insures our clients of an immediate reservation on a pup
from our next available litter.

Exception to this is made
only if a breeding for a particular pedigree combination,
(which has been specified at the time the deposit is given)
does not produce a litter of pups from their designated breeding,
and was included and written as such in an addendum to the
original contract, wherein the specific terms of the deposit are described.

Rollover deposits are given first priority
immediately behind any deposits already on file
for a pup from a specified upcoming litter, and are placed ahead
of any new deposits received for said litter. 

It is understood by both parties that if pups are born to a litter,
it is expected that the pup will be purchased and fully paid for by you, the buyer,
according to our payment policies. 

In cases of default on a pup by the purchaser,
deposit and monies paid are forfeited by purchaser.
