HOW TO BECOME PART OF THE LONGDOGIA FAMILY

 

 

One of the first steps in getting a puppy from us is to fill out our                                     and return it to us in an email with whatever additional information you would like to share with us.  

 

This application gives us some of the basic information needed to ensure that your family will be a good fit, and that we have a puppy (or litter on the way) that we feel would fit your family well.

 

 

Once we have gone over your application, the next step is either:

1. To go on a waiting list for an upcoming litter, or if we have the perfect puppy available then

2. Place a deposit on that puppy.

 

We require a NON refundable deposit to hold a puppy for you. Deposits are $300, this amount is applied to the balance of your puppy. We allow 3 business days unless prior arrangements have been made to receive your deposit. We will place the puppy as SOLD going to your family once the deposit is received. If you change your mind once a deposit has been made, it is again - non refundable.

 

 

OUR HEALTH GUARANTEE:

 

Longdogia Dachshunds provides a 1 year Health Guarantee against life threatening Genetic Defects.  If you continue daily use of NuVet Plus Vitamins after the puppy leaves our care we will EXTEND our Health Gurantee to a LIFETIME Guarantee.  PLEASE NOTE: Due to the varying kinds of dog food on the market and the different environmental conditions the dogs come on contact with, we will extend our guarantee on our puppies if they are given NuVet Plus daily at the manufacturer’s suggested dosage for their lifetime. You must have your NuVet Plus on hand when your baby arrives home.  Failure to do so DOES NOT extend the guarantee beyond 1 year. Not available in stores, visit our

                               on our website to order and have on hand when your new puppy comes home.  

                               (Must use Order Code 63476 when ordering).

 

Longdogia Dachshunds guarantee does not cover any liability for injury.  This guarantee is good against life threatening diseases, not parasites or Coccidian.  “Life Threatening Diseases” must be diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian and documented that it would prevent the dog/puppy from being a good pet/companion and is detrimental to the dog/puppy’s life.  The buyer must notify the breeder within 2 business days of diagnosis and it is the breeder’s choice to refund the purchase price (less the non refundable deposit amount) or replace the puppy.  The buyer is responsible for all expenses in the return of the dog/puppy and under no circumstances will the breeder replace the above dog/pupy if the breeder has not been advised of its illness within the 2 days allotted or if the dog/puppy is put to sleep.

 

All puppies sold by Longdogia Dachshunds will be up to date on all vaccinations and deworming at the time of sale. The new Owner is expected to continue the vaccination as prescribed by their Veterinarian. All Puppies must be examined by a licensed Veterinarian within 72 hours of purchase and a copy of the examination must be returned to Longdogia Dachshunds within 1 week of purchase date.  Failure to do so will void this agreement.  All future liabilities and veterinarian bills will be the Buyers responsibility.  It is the buyer’s responsibility to take the necessary precautions to protect the puppy from dangerous or infectious situations until the puppy has completed its series of proper vaccinations.

 

Longdogia Dachshunds reserves the right to withhold the registration papers on any puppy sold as a companion/Pet, until proof has been sent by a Veterinarian stating the puppy has been spayed or neutered.

 

Longdogia Dachshunds does not guarantee any puppy raised on the Raw Diet or other Diet other than a high quality kibble. All Puppies must be kept on the puppy food they are being fed at the time of sale or one approved by Longdogia Dachshunds and kept on a good/consistent exercise plan for life.             

 

Longdogia Dachshunds cannot guarantee size, weight, hair coat, skin conditions, temperament, conformation or training ability of said dog/puppy.  Any information given to you in these regards is simply the breeder’s educated opinion.  Many things can influce the grown and development of a dog/puppy.

 

Longdogia Dachshunds has a "Welcome Home Policy" which means:

If at anytime the purchaser finds that he/she can no longer care for this animal or does not feel that this animal is suitable for them any longer, The Purchaser agrees not to sell, place or abandon this animal to a shelter, rescue, or individual, but agrees to return this animal to the seller, Heather Ackby, at no cost to the seller.  

 

 

PAYMENTS:

 

Payments can be made throughout the time your puppy is growing up with us. We do require that your puppy is paid for in FULL by the time he/she reaches 6 weeks of age, unless arrangements have been made for final payment at time of pick up. Personal checks are not accepted for final payment. We accept PayPal (fees apply), Money Order, or Cash at time of pick up. Your puppy will be ready to join your family when he/she is 8-10 weeks old.

PICKING UP YOUR PUPPY:

 

We DO NOT ship our puppies - ever! Once your puppy is ready to join your family, you can come pick your puppy up from our home, or we we also offer a personal delivery of your new puppy - we can meet you within 1 hour free of charge, or any distance over that will have a fuel charge depending on the area being traveled to. We do lots of traveling for shows, so we can usually work something out to shorten your drive, our ours if we are delivering. We also encourage you to fly here and pick your baby up in person and fly back with them under your seat. Please discuss this option in detail with us as there is lots of advanced planning if you are flying in. 

 

** There is now a law about shipping puppies - if you find a breeder willing to ship you a puppy without knowing much about you or asking many questions - be aware! These laws are in place due to the volume of puppy mills that will sell and ship you a sick, unhealthy, poorly bred puppy.
