We have a strong policy on bringing a dog back to us if you can no longer keep the dog. We want to insure that our dogs are NOT passed around or end up in a shelter. Please know that we do understand things can happen and for this reason we want to make sure you understand we want the dog to come back to us if something comes up. If this happens and you know of a friend/family member who can take the dog thats fine, as long as they understand that if the dog doesnt fit we will TAKE our dog back at ANY AGE. If the dog is placed with a friend/family member we ask to be kept in the loop and given the proper info to keep up with our puppy. I LOVE each and everyone of my puppies and I am the SOLE reason they are here, It's my duty to protect them no matter what. Please Acknowledge you understand this and are okay with following threw with this if that time comes.

These puppies are raised indoors with their humans, and we trust that they will also continue to be raised that way when they leave. Obviously if you are outside and doing chores, or hiking, or playing with you and your family. Please mark AGREE if you acknowledge this statement.
