Buyer of a puppy from Seller must realize that Seller is meticulous with regards to all details in the surroundings of these puppies. Sanitation is paramount, vaccines are current & documented and Seller provides proper nutrition. This assures the Buyer that the puppy they receive has been properly cared for and in the best possible condition and health. Buyer has five (5) days from the date of transfer to have their own veterinarian to examine the puppy. If during this examination, it is determined that the puppy in unhealthy, Buyer is entitled to a full refund or replacement puppy. It is extremely rare, but a puppy after it has left Seller’s care could become medically compromised in a variety of ways and these include physical injury, extreme environmental conditions, or exposure to pathogens. Also any puppy could develop and/or display symptoms of a medical nature that are outside the realm of reasonable care or prevention. These rare circumstances have led Seller to formulate a guarantee process to prevent any misunderstanding between Buyer and Seller.
The breeding of our dogs WITHOUT breeding rights is not an option. By purchasing an Upnorth Labradoodle puppy, you are hereby agreeing to spay or neuter the puppy by 6 months of age and NOT to breed your Labradoodle. If you breed your Labradoodle, you will surrender ownership rights and be fined $10,000 payable to Patrice Higgins. Our bloodline is of great importance to us, ie: health, temperament and conformation, we therefore require additional testing and breeding control over our line. The buyer has 7 months from the date of birth to provide Seller with written verification that spaying or neutering has been performed. This documentation must be from a certified veterinarian. If after 7 months this documentation has not been received by Seller, the health guarantee will be voided. Additionally, Buyer agrees that if any time they no longer wish to keep the dog, the buyer will give Seller every opportunity to help in re-homing the dog. The dog must not be destroyed, or relinquished to a pound or shelter in lieu of re-homing.
Acceptable payment methods are cash, Pay Pal (If PayPal is used, please add 3% to total PayPal payments, cashier’s check, checks are accepted, but must clear before taking possession of the puppy. Make checks payable to Patrice Higgins.
