| MY TERMS: |
| I accept deposits on puppies after they are born, not on expected litters. I will gladly hold a specific schnauzer puppy for you for a reasonable time, but I require a minimum non-refundable deposit of $300.00 to do so, with the balance due prior to the release of the puppy, with the puppy usually being able to leave my care at eight weeks old. If shipping or delivery is requested all arrangements must be made prior to your deposit being paid. My future puppies will no longer have their ears cropped - except by request! I will be offering ear-cropping on puppies, prior to the time the puppy is 5 weeks old only, for an additional $50. Therefore, if you wish to have your puppy's ears cropped, you must send your deposit and notify me of your request for cropped ears before the puppy is five weeks old! ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE! Your deposit is not refundable unless something beyond my control were to happen to this particular puppy, this is the sole exception. In such an event, you will have the option of a refund of your deposit or transferring it to another puppy when one becomes available. Therefore, please ask all questions and confirm all arrangements, including shipping, prior to sending a deposit. I have decided to begin accepting personal checks (on a trial basis) with the stipulation that your check must "clear" before I will allow your puppy to leave my home. Therefore, all personal checks must be sent a minimum of two weeks prior to shipment, delivery, or picking your puppy up. I reserve the right to refuse to sell my puppies to anyone for any reason! Missouri residents are required by law to pay sales tax of 5.225% |
| SHIPPING INFORMATION: |
| Picking your puppy up is always the preferred option! Shipping or delivery is usually possible at BUYER'S EXPENSE. I ship within the (lower 48) United States only. Sometimes shipping can be arranged by air (weather permitting) via DELTA, NORTHWEST or AMERICAN departing from Springfield, Missouri. I do not use any other airlines at this time. Shipping by air to most destinations is usually an additional $275.00 in total shipping costs, depending upon the destination and size of the dog. When temperatures are above or below the airline's restrictions, shipping by a professional ground transport service can sometimes be arranged. A quote of the cost of shipping via a ground transport service may be obtained upon request with most destinations averaging $150.00 to $185.00. Delivery may occasionally be arranged with a delivery charge, depending upon your location. |
