Congratulations on your new puppy! The parents of your puppy are

should change your mind it shall be understood that any deposit
paid shall remain on record to be used towards a purchase at any
later date. Though non-refundable, any deposit shall remain valid
indefinitely. As breeders, it is our hope that you will take
exceptional care of this puppy throughout its entire life. This

physical needs as necessary, treating your dog as part of your
family, and giving it lots of love for the remainder of its life.
If for any reason you are unable to keep this puppy please
contact us first. We will accept one of our offspring back. We do
not repurchase or "buy back" dogs unless under the terms of our
