*Please note - due to current circumstances I will only meet buyers outside, in a public area.


I require half of the purchase price for a deposit to hold a puppy.


The deposit is to hold the puppy of your choice.  It is NON-REFUNDABLE & NOT TRANSFERABLE, unless the puppy dies or becomes seriously ill while in my care.  Please 

note that if a Chihuahua puppy has any hypoglycemic issues, he/she will need to stay here until around 16 weeks of age. This is NOT considered an illness, this is a common issue in Chihuahuas.  A deposit will not be refunded due to hypoglycemia issues.


  I  WILL  NOT  HOLD  A  PUPPY  WITHOUT  A  DEPOSIT.   Far too many people change their mind and I lose potential buyers/good homes because they think the puppy is sold and will purchase elsewhere. Once a puppy becomes available, he/she will remain available until 

a deposit has been received.  So, this means if I am talking to more than one approved applicant at the same time, the first applicant who commits and places a deposit will 

get the puppy. Upon receiving a definite yes from you, I will hold the puppy for 24 hours 

if you choose to send a United States Postal Money Order. Send it certified/3 daydelivery 

AND send me a picture of the check and the tracking number.  DO NOT send it with a signature requirement.  In the event I do not receive your deposit in a timely manner, I reserve the right to persue another home for the puppy.  The deposit will be deducted 

from the purchase price of the puppy.

  
I can accept Credit/Debit cards and bank transfers thru my  Good Dog  account.


I can also accept bank transfers thru Zelle.


I DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS, BANK ISSUED CHECKS, PAYPAL OR VENMO.


Final payment MUST BE IN CASH if you pay the remaining balance 

due when you pick up your puppy - NO EXCEPTIONS!

            

I do not allow people to see puppies that have not had at least one vaccination.

Most puppies stay here until they are 9 - 12 weeks of age. Very tiny puppies or puppies with 
hypoglycemic issues will have to stay longer. I will not let any puppy go to his/her new home until 
they can have their first vaccination, they have been Vet checked, they are eating and drinking okay 
on their own and I feel that they are ready to go. 

I will not place Chihuahua puppies into homes with young children(under 10). 
Chihuahuas DO NOT make good pets for young Children.  Even a well meaning child can drop or step on a young Chihuahua puppy and cause serious injury, or even death.  Repeated mis-treatment will usually lead to fear biting/aggression.  Young adults/adults and very tiny puppies are only placed into mature homes.

I also do not place puppies into homes with young/active large breed dogs or aggressive cats.

 Please keep in mind, most Chihuahua puppies are between 2-3 lbs when they go to their new homes 
and this is a VERY tiny puppy that can easily be injured.

While I understand that people are excited about their new puppy, I am sorry but I am unable to do pictures or videos every few days.  I do updated pictures every 7 to 10 days and I usually do one video when the puppies are around 6-8 weeks of age.  I work from home and have a very busy family life, so please try to understand.

I retain the right to choose the best home for my puppies and refuse any sale for any reason. 
I also retain the right to refund a deposit and terminate a sale if I feel there is a reason to do so.

I do not hold puppies for extended periods of time - they need to be bonding with you, not me.
Puppies will need to be picked up within 7 days of being ready to go/or if ready to go, within 7 
days of a deposit being placed, unless discussed otherwise PRIOR to a deposit being placed.  A 
boarding fee of $10.00/day and any additional costs for shots and/or Veterinarian needs will be 
charged otherwise. If a puppy is not picked up within 2 weeks of being ready and/or I can not get 
ahold of the Buyer, the puppy will be put back up for sale and the Buyer will lose their deposit.

Once we have agreed on a pick-up time please do not show up early/late without 
checking with me first as I may have people scheduled before/after you.


ALL puppies are sold as Pets only, with Limited AKC Papers, on Spay/Neuter Contracts.



I can meet in Corinth for free.

I can meet in Bangor or Newport for $50.00

Occasionally I may be able to meet further for $1.50/mile.
