We offer to ship your puppy by airplane at 8 weeks of age to the major airport nearest your home. The puppy receives a state health certificate before shipping. We provide an appropriate size pet shipping crate. There may be weather restrictions to deal with as many airlines will not accept a puppy for shipment if temperatures will be too hot or too cold at any point along the route of travel. We usually ship from Nashville, TN but occasionally will ship from Atlanta, GA if it will mean a less stressful trip for the puppy. Regular shipping and handling fees through Nashville are $ 400.00 and subject to change without notice depending upon changes in air freight rates. Shipping to some destinations may be higher.
$ 150 nonrefundable deposits required for reservations.
Non-refundable deposits are required to reserve a puppy. You must make e-mail (emilyroberts@frontiernet.net) or phone (931-277-5032) contact with us BEFORE you send a deposit so that we can assist you in your choices of pups. Your deposit must be in $US for the exact amount of the deposit only and may be paid by cashiers check, money order or travelers check made payable to "Emily Roberts." The puppy will not be reserved until the funds have been successfully collected by our bank and deposited in our account. Any fees for collection will be added to the final cost of your puppy. The ONLY circumstance in which we will consider your request for the return of your deposit is if we are unable to provide you with a puppy of your gender choice from any of our litters within eighteen months of receipt of your deposit. You may make a deposit to reserve a puppy as soon as a planned litter is listed on the "Expected Litters" page. The sooner the deposit is received, the higher on the "pick list" you will be.

Guarantee
Pet Guarantee: Covers specified serious inherited genetic conditions proven during the first five years.
1. The seller guarantees a healthy puppy or dog at the time of sale. All puppies have a complete vet physical in their 1st eight weeks. Along with a record of worming and all appropriate vaccinations I will provide a letter from our vet stating that the puppy or dog is in good health.
2. The seller guarantees the puppy to have a temperament that is not overly shy or overly aggressive for the first two years. The buyer must provide written statements, addresses & phone numbers from 2 licensed veterinarians or 1 vet and 1 certified trainer that the said dog is overly shy or aggressive. This dog must be certified as having completed at least one AKC endorsed obedience class. The seller will refund 1/2 of the purchase price of the dog (Temperament is half environment), or if buyer desires, a replacement puppy may be provided at half the current cost, plus shipping. The problem dog must be "put down" by the buyers vet. The seller will not be responsible for any vet bills or health care expenses.
3. The seller guarantees the puppy or dog to be free from crippling HIP & Elbow DYSPLASIA. A mild HD should not cause problems even in old age. Written statements with addresses & phone numbers from 2 licensed veterinarians, or the Orthopedic Animals Foundation to confirm crippling genetic HD, are required to verify that the dog has a genetic defect covered by this agreement. (For hips and elbows, only OFA evaluation will be accepted.) EXCEPTION if just one elbow is effected even a slight injury can cause elbows to fuse wrong. Genetic elbows are when both elbows are affected. When documentation is provided proving the dog has a genetic defect the seller will replace the puppy with another puppy of equal or greater value from the first available litter. The buyer keeps the original pup! The seller is not responsible for any vet bills or health care on this dog. Shipment of the replacement puppy will be at the buyer's expense. The dog with the genetic defect must be euthanized or spayed or neutered by the buyer.
4. The seller guarantees the puppy or dog against Spinal Myopathy as well as genetically proven heart, pancreas or liver conditions until the animal reaches five years of age. Written statements with addresses & phone numbers from 2 licensed veterinarians are required to verify that the dog has a genetic defect covered by this agreement. If the dog is determined to have a genetic defect the seller will replace the puppy with another puppy of equal or greater value from the first available litter or refund the purchase price at the sellers discretion. The buyer keeps the original pup! The seller is not responsible for any vet bills or health care on this dog. Shipment of the replacement puppy will be at the buyer's expense. The dog with the genetic defect must be spayed or neutered.
5. The seller will take puppy back within 10 days after purchase for any reason with a full refund- minus deposit. All shipping/delivery expenses are the buyers responsibility.
Guarantee is valid ONLY if the following conditions are met.
1. The dog has been fed a high quality dog food, and has not had an accident or injury that may have caused the condition.
2. The dog has NOT been spayed before the end of its sixth month or neutered before its first birthday (one year old). (link to articles)
3. The dog has NOT been kept unduly restrained. These are large breed animals and by the time they are 6 months of age should be kept in a kennel space of no less than 10' x 20' NOT on concrete flooring and allowed sufficient exercise time in larger space at least twice a day. (It's good for the owners too.) Extensive confinement WILL cause problems in bone, joint and muscle development and may cause problems with temperament.
4. The dog or puppy is not sold to a second party or stayed with anyone other than the buyer stated on this agreement. (Brief stays at reputable boarding kennels excepted)
5. The buyer is in good standing with the American Kennel Club.
6. The buyer has fed quality and appropriate nutritional supplements daily. (Minimum of vitamin C and a quality joint supplement).
7. The dog, male or female, has not produced a litter. (This is NOT a breeding dog guarantee.)
8. This contract must be signed and returned or all guarantees are void.
