A prospective buyer should be prepared to complete a "Puppy Application", to help confirm that a puppy will be going to a responsible and healthy environment.
We guarantee this puppy is in good health, to the best of our knowledge, at the time of
sale. A licensed veterinarian has checked the puppy and issued a health certificate prior to
leaving Breeder/Sellers possession verifying the health of said puppy. This Canine is
purebred with AKC Registered Parents and embodies the characteristics of the breed
named above. Bear Creek Dachshunds goes to great lengths to produce healthy, sound puppies. Puppies bred at here carry a one year, from time of birth, Health Guarantee against any life threatening genetic defects. The puppy will have age appropriate vaccinations and dewormings before going home.
Buyer agrees to continue the vaccination schedule with their vet through the 16-20 week initial vaccination schedule. It is very important that you continue the vaccinations and worming. Buyer agrees to not expose your puppy to other dogs that are not vaccinated until he/she has completed the entire vaccination schedule - around 16-20 weeks old and will not take them to possible contaminated areas. This includes doggy daycares, dog parks (which we don’t personally recommend at all) and being mindful when you are visiting the vet to not set the puppy down in high traffic areas.
No guarantee is made as to the disposition, conformation, color, size, or breeding ability
of our puppies/dogs. It is impossible to accurately determine the EXACT adult size or
color of any puppy. Size and color estimates are based on both of the parents. Breeder
makes no guarantees or warrantees, express or implied, regarding the puppy's size or
color or conformation. We do not guarantee you will be able to show the dog. No cash
refund will be given under any circumstances: only replacement puppies will be given if
necessary - per this contract, as long as Bear Creek Dachshunds is still breeding.
To secure a puppy, a non-refundable deposit of minimum $300.00 must be made, the deposit will only be accepted after the whelping and not before. This goes towards the total balance of the puppy, in which the remainder is due at the time of pickup.
Payment can be made by check (deposit only), Venmo, cash app or Apple Pay. Cash can be paid for balance in person at time of puppy pickup.
Deposits are only refundable if the puppy is deemed not healthy enough to be placed in a new home.
Buyer agrees to provide puppy with routine preventative care, follow vet guidelines on worming, vaccinations, neutering/spaying and proper housing. If the Buyer decides that they can no longer keep and care for the puppy, the puppy should be returned at once to the Seller free of charge. Buyer also agrees that puppies are sold with limited registration ( non-breeding rights.) While the puppy
may be capable of performing other functions, no warranty will be given as to its fitness for any other purpose than as a pet.
If death occurs during the health guarantee period, breeder requires a Necropsy for verification of cause of death by a Licensed Veterinarian at Buyer’s expense. If the current owner REFUSES a necropsy, no replacement puppy will be granted REGARDLESS of diagnosis. Necropsy MUST be completed to confirm cause of death.
Although the majority of our pups are placed as pets, we do ask that you hold off on pediatric spay/neuter. We really prefer that these surgeries be performed after 12 months of age because your puppy needs their hormones to grow properly. There is no evidence that spaying/neutering changes the puppy’s disposition for the better nor does it correct normal puppy behavior. When done too early, it can cause growth problems and affect joints.
