Please Read Carefully & Understand Before
Contacting Us About A Puppy or Adult...
We
breed our AmStaffs to the American Kennel Club standard and our
APBT's to the United Kennel Club standard with temperament
being our number one priority, followed closely by sound health,
and then by correct structure, breed type & movement. We observe
our puppies most carefully, and also conduct certain temperament
and aptitude tests at the appropriate times. We are focused on
producing excellence, with a keen appreciation of the AKC (AmStaff)
breed standard's request of -
"The American Staffordshire
Terrier should give the impression of great strength for his size,
a well put-together dog, muscular, but agile and graceful, keenly
alive to his surroundings. He should be stocky, not long-legged
or racy in outline. His courage is proverbial." Pedigrees
are studied at length; we investigate the history of both the
stud and bitch with regard to temperament, health, bite, structure,
longevity, color, title (prefix/suffix) details, and other information.
Puppies are often times sold by the time of or shortly after birth
(not available to go to new homes until 8 weeks of age), so it
is advised that if you wish to purchase a puppy from an upcoming
litter please complete and send us a Puppy
Questionnaire, then contact me by phone (509) 216-3528 or
drop me an e-mail.
A non-refundable deposit of $300.00 which is deducted from
the purchase price is required to hold a puppy of a certain pick
(picks are made in the order that deposits are received). If you
are approved for a puppy from us we will then accept your deposit,
but please read Deposits & Payments
before sending it. Within
1 week of breeding half of the purchase price is due (minus deposit)
and the other half is due when the puppies reach 6 weeks of age,
or the seller reserves the right to place or keep the puppy. If you place a deposit after the breeding has taken place, then half of payment (minus deposit) is due within no later than 1 week of birth.
Any payments made are non-refundable, no exceptions of any kind
will be made. Any payments made for shipping, crate, or health
certificate are not refundable but may be transfered to another
available puppy or breeding if need be. We have different
terms for payment if you are outside
of the USA. Pricing will not be determined until puppies are
evaluated at 5-7 weeks of age - pricing is $1000-$3000 (first
picks of the litter are $2000-$3000, and are rarely ever available),
show prospects start at $1500 and pet quality starts at $1000.00.
In the event we have to keep your puppy over the age of 8 weeks,
we charge a $10.00 per day boarding fee (for feed, houseing, teaching
basic household manners, "puppy preschool" socialization
class etc.), this is due prior to the date the puppy is
shipped or picked up (we will NOT ship or allow pick up until
this is received). Ear cropping is available at an additional
$380.00 if desired by the new owner. AKC registation papers will
be mailed to the new owner within 14 days of shipping the puppy.
We do not put any sort of paperwork on the crate when we ship
a puppy as we have had it lost before by the airline. We reserve
the right to refuse sale to any person at any time, without giving
a reason. Our puppies are raised exclusively in-doors (with outside
playtime once vaccinated) with hands on socialization from day
one. All potential buyers are screened throughly prior to placement
with the intention of placing each puppy in the most suitable
home. We are not responsible for any veterinary bills, travel
expenses or any other charges incurred once the puppy or adult
is transferred into the buyer's possession. Shipping is available
in the USA for those who cannot pick up their puppy in person
and we do ship to other countries (we have dogs over in Belgium,
Sweden, Spain and Puerto Rico). Please contact your local airline
for pricing and flight arrangements if you live outside of the
USA. All puppies and adults are sold with a written contract and
health/temperament guarantee for their lifetime. Spay/neuter and
non-breeding contracts are required on all pet quality puppies
or adults with no exceptions of any kind. Referances are always
available (including our Veterinarians). We ask that new owners
stay in touch with us about their puppy - we are always willing
to answer any questions for the lifetime of your dog & love
to get updates/pictures of them thoughout their life with you!
-We will not ship or allow pick up of puppies any
earlier than 8 weeks of age for their best interest-
-We
ship puppies COD which means the new
owner pays for the flight at time of pick up.
If we are not able to ship the puppy COD, then the
flight must be paid for in full prior to us flying the puppy.
We must receive payment for the crate and health
certificate before shipment is done. Crate is $55.00
for a young puppy (8 weeks) or $80-$120 for an
older
puppy or adult dog depending on size, the regular health
certificate from a veterinarian is $60.00 (required to ship),
& an International health certificate is $85 (outside of USA)
We do not pay travel expenses to ship a puppy or adult.
Roundtrip gas fee to ship from Spokane, WA is $75. If we have
to
travel to Seattle, WA to ship, it is $250 for gas and motel stay
overnight.-
-Occasionally we will co-own show puppies or adults-
-We will NOT sell any puppies just for the purpose of breeding-
*ATTENTION*
We vaccinate our puppies at 5 & 7 weeks old. We do not recommend over-vaccinating your puppy, and use a limited vaccination program. Please visit the New Vaccination Protocol site for some very important information about over-vaccinating your dog. Also, please check out: Vaccinosis!
