TN Dogue De Bordeaux
Terms & Conditions
This option is only available if:
The puppy is not too severely ill and will probably die, even
with treatment.
The cost for treatment does not exceed our, "treatment limit."
Our licensed Veterinarian feels that in his professional opinion,
the puppy will make a full recovery with treatment.
*At times, shipping is included in the price of your puppy, when we are personally
making the delivery and we only drive up to 350 miles, one way from our home.  
But, if you live too far from us, we can use a professional pet transport service, in order
to have your puppy delivered and you'll be responsible for the transporters fees.
*If you require expedited delivery and we're able to arrange it, additional charges will
probably
be incurred.
**At times the price of the puppy includes delivery (PLEASE READ ABOVE.) BUT,  if
you decide
not to use our delivery service, the price of the puppy will still remain the
same.  No discounts will be given.
NO exceptions will be made.**

FULL delivery details, please click here--->  Delivery Services.
You have the option of putting your puppy on Layaway.  You may do this, as early as
once (1) week after the puppy is born.  For more information, please click
here --->  
Layaway Plan.
Our puppies are sold either with double, triple or quadruple registration with the
following canine registries:  AKC, UKC, NKC and CKC.  
Unless otherwise noted, all babies are sold as, "pet/companion" quality and with
Limited registration and require a neuter/spay agreement.  
Limited registration puppies come with:  AKC and NKC registration forms.
Full registration puppies come with:  AKC, UKC, NKC and CKC registration forms.
We only accept the following methods of payment:
PayPal (We charge you the 3% fees that PayPal charges us, to accept payments
made through PayPal.)
United States Postal Service money orders only.
Cash (Please do NOT mail us any cash.)  You may pay in cash but only in
person, when you pick your puppy up at our home.  
       ***This is for your protection, as well as ours.***
Visiting Puppies------->                   We welcome scheduled visits to see our puppies.
***We only schedule visits, after our puppies have been initially vaccinated
for 1-2 weeks.***
This means the puppies will be 7-8 weeks old at the time
and
NOT A DAY SOONER!!!

We do not schedule visits to see the puppies' parents until the puppies are
ready to be seen.  This is because the parents, are in very close contact with
their puppies and we will not expose the puppies, through their parents
either.
***NO EXCEPTIONS MADE!!!***

THIS IS DONE FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR PUPPIES, AS
THEY ARE SUCEPTABLE TO CONTRACTING PARVOVIRUS AS WELL AS
OTHER INFECTIONS, VIRUSES AND DISEASES.

on the internet or you may click on the following:

your shoes prior to entering our home and that you
also wash your hands prior to handling any puppy.
We, "Tennesse Dogue De Bordeaux, " reserve the right, to make any changes to our Terms and Conditions without prior notification.
Last Revised:
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
Once pregnancy, of one of our Ladies has been confirmed through ultrasound; we will
contact everyone on our waiting list, either by email and/or phone.
We do have a waiting list for our babies.  If you're interested in a current, upcoming or a
puppy from a future litter and wish to be placed on our waiting list, we ask that you
please let us know, by email or by calling us.  
When emailing, please let us know the litter or future breeding that you're interested in;
along with your full name, complete home address--including your zip code,
home/work and cell phone numbers and email addresses where you can be reached and
please let us know if you'd prefer a baby girl, baby boy or don't have a preference.  Once
you have provided us with the above information, you will be placed on our waiting list.
Waiting List  ----------------->
Contacting You -------------->
Reserving a Puppy  -------->
If at the time you're notified, you're still interested in one of our babies, you may
reserve a baby from that upcoming litter by paying $100.00.  The $100.00
will be
applied toward the non-refundable $300.00 deposit (for puppies 1-8 weeks of age), that
is
required to hold the baby of your choice.
We operate on a strict, "first-come, first-served" basis.  This means that whoever
contacts us first, as well as pay the $100.00 to reserve a puppy, will secure their puppy
first and have first (1st) pick of a puppy in the litter, then second (2nd) and so on...
Because the $100.00 reservation deposit is an actual part of the $300.00/$500.00
non-refundable deposit and
is applied toward the $300.00/$500.00 non-refundable
deposit,
NO REFUNDS will be given.  NO EXEMPTIONS WILL BE MADE.
There will only be a limited number of puppy, "reserve" slots available with each
litter.  This will depend on the number of babies seen on the ultrasound.  
Reserve & Deposit  ---------->
Refunds
If, when you reserved your puppy, you specifically requested a boy or girl and it was
not available when the puppies were born; you may select to wait for a puppy from a
future litter
or pick a puppy of the opposite sex ----> (BUT, ONLY if one is available &
not already reserved) If, you are flexible with your puppy's sex, please say so when
reserving your puppy, doing this will provide you with the next available puppy and
the puppy will not go to the next person on our waiting list.
Selecting Your Puppy  ----->
Puppies may go to their new homes, when they become eight (8) weeks of age; this is
whether the puppy is being picked up or being delivered.  All puppies
will remain
with us
until they become eight (8) weeks of age.
If you selected your puppy, have already paid your deposit or paid for your puppy in
full and should your puppy become ill, severely injured or should die for whatever
reason, these are the options that are available to you:
 
You may select another puppy from the same litter, if one is available.
Wait and select a puppy from a different litter.  ***You must choose another
puppy within 12 months of paying your deposit.  If you don't, you forfeit your
deposit.***
Allow me, to have my Veterinarian treat the puppy and you keep the same
puppy.






If your puppy dies, you may select a puppy from the same litter, if one is
available.  If, however, there is not another puppy available, you may wait and
select a puppy from a different litter.  ***You must select another puppy within 12
months of paying your deposit.  If you don't, you will forfeit your deposit.***  
Though we do not refund any deposits, TN Dogue De Bordeaux,  hereby reserves  
the right to refund any deposits or payments that have already made; this is
strictly
done at
our discretion, though we are in no way obligated to do so.
You may select the puppy of your choice, as early as one (1) week after they are born,
if,  all is well with both our Mama and her babies.
Puppies may go home ------>
Puppy Gets Injured ---------->
Becomes Ill or Dies
For puppies 1-8 weeks of age, there is a $300.00 non-refundable deposit, that is
required to hold the puppy of your choice; for puppies 8 weeks old and older, there is
a
required $500.00 non-refundable deposit required to hold the puppy of your
choice.  We will
not hold any puppy without a deposit; as we are on a strict,
"first-come, first-served" basis.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  
Deposit  ------------------------->
Full Payment Due By  ------>
All puppies being held with deposits,  must be paid for in full by the time they are 6
weeks old or by the agreed upon date set by both breeder and buyer
.  This is a
must, so that we may start scheduling the puppy's delivery or make arrangements for
the puppy to be picked up.  If a date for final payment has been made and agreed
upon by both TN Dogue De Bordeaux and the buyer and the buyer does not finish
paying for the puppy by said date, we, "TN Dogue De Bordeaux" reserve the right to
place the puppy back up for adoption and therefore sell him/her to someone else.  Any
deposits paid, will not be refunded, as all deposits are non-refundable.     
No exceptions will be made.  
You've Changed Your  ------>
Mind About The Puppy
Should you change your mind and decide not to get a puppy, after you've either paid
your $100.00
reserve non-refundable deposit or the $300.00/$500.00 non-refundable
deposit, you will automatically forfeit your deposit, in it's entirety.  
NO EXCEPTIONS MADE.
Transfer Of Deposit --------->
If you've encountered a situation and are not able to finish paying for your puppy at
this time but would like to apply your deposit toward another puppy from a future
litter, please contact us
immediately by phone and also email.  Please, let us know that
you want your deposit to be transferred and used at a later date, for a puppy from a
future litter.  
You will have
12 months, from the date that you paid your deposit, to select another
puppy or you will
forfeit your deposit indefinitely.
However, keep in mind that the price of a different puppy, may not be the same as the
first and original puppy that you had chosen.
Change In Price Of Puppy
There may be a difference in price, due to the following:
A difference in the quality of the puppy.
The type of registration that the puppy may have.
We've increased the price of our puppies.
Delivery charges have increased, perhaps due to the increase of the price of fuel.
When on a layaway plan your, "pay in full by" date will depend on when you started
the Layaway on your puppy and/or your puppy's age.    
Detailed Layaway information
Extended Stay/Care  --------->
The larger your puppy is at the time of delivery, the larger the travel crate it will
require for transport and therefore it will cost more to deliver your puppy.  Because of
the increase on the price of fuel, many Pet Transporters are
not delivering any puppies
unless there are a minimum of three (3) to eight (8) puppies for them to pick up and
deliver
at one time and only within a certain region.
Keeping this in mind, if you've paid a deposit on your puppy but did not pay the
puppy's remaining balance by the time the puppy was
6 weeks old, as required and if
as a result, we were
not able to schedule the delivery of your puppy, along with the
delivery of our other puppies with our Pet Transporter's first route.  You
will be
charged an additional
*$35.00 per week (1-7 days), for as long as your puppy remains
with us.  Plus, you may have to wait for our carrier's
next scheduled route, (if there is
one) in order for your puppy to be delivered and you may also incur additional
shipping/delivery fees.
*This fee will help pay for the additional care of your puppy, due to his/her
extended stay and must be paid in full before you are able to receive your puppy.
*Any Veterinary office visits and any additional required vaccinations which are
rendered as a result of a puppy's extended stay, is the sole responsibility of the
new puppy's owner and must be paid for in full prior to the puppy being
delivered or picked up from our home.

Layaway Program  ---------->
Delivery Of Your Puppy ---->
Though, we,TN Dogue De Bordeaux and those folks on our waiting lists, would like
our pregnant Mamas to have enough babies for everyone, this is simply wishful
thinking on our part, as this is most certainly out of our control.  Therefore, there will
be times when we may have a certain number of folks waiting for their puppies to be
born, only to find that a small number of puppies were born in that particular litter.  
***If you've already, "reserved" your puppy by paying the $100.00 reservation deposit,
we will place you on our very next waiting list for the next upcoming breeding or the
future breeding of your choice.  
***Please keep in mind that the quality and price of another puppy, may not be the
same as that of the litter that you  were originally waiting on.
Miscarried litter  ------------->
or
Death of pregnant Mama
Only a small number ----->
of puppies were born
in the litter
Baby Boy/Baby Girl  ------>
NOT AVAILABLE
Should, our pregnant Mama have a miscarriage and/or she happens to die, therefore
causing the death of her babies, you may wait for a puppy from a future litter.  
Though not obligated to, TN Dogue De Bordeaux reserves the right to refund any
reserve deposits and deposits, that have already been paid; though both types of
deposits are non-refundable.
By paying a deposit on a puppy of your choice, you hereby agree that you've read, agree and will abide by all of
our terms and conditions which are hereby included on this entire page and on any page on our web site.
