What is the cost of a Vorderosa puppy?
Is the deposit included in the purchase price?
The deposit goes towards the purchase price of the puppy. MN Sales Tax is not included. How do I reserve a puppy?
We ask for a $300 deposit to reserve/hold a puppy, per check mailed to us. How do I buy a puppy?
#1 RESERVING A PUPPYPuppies can be reserved for a non-refundable deposit.
#2 THE DEPOSITA non-refundable deposit (cash or check, payable to Vorderosa Retrievers) is required to hold the puppy. The Deposit and all monies paid will only be refunded in the unfortunate event that the puppy dies or our Veterinarian diagnoses a health issue before the puppy is ready to leave our home. Pick of the Litter goes in the order of the Deposits Received.
#3 PICKUP DATEThere will be a date determined for pickup of your puppy one month in advance. If you cannot make that pickup date, you will be able to choose from the puppies that are left on the date you are available. Do you ship your puppies?
We do personable, face to face transactions only. Sorry, we do not ship puppies or dogs. How do you determine pick of the litter?
Pick of the litter is the order the deposit is received to us in the mail for either a male puppy or a female puppy. Deposits are separated according to the gender of the puppy. What if you don't have the female or male puppy I requested, and I sent my deposit in?
The deposit will only be refunded if we are unable to provide the desired gendered puppy, or in the unfortunate event that a puppy dies or our vet discovers a serious health issue before a puppy is ready to leave to the new home. The deposit can also be applied to the next litter of puppies. Are your dogs & puppies Registered?
Yes. Our dogs and puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club. Information about AKC can be found at www.akc.org. Buyers will receive their registation AKC paperwork when they pick up their puppy. What is Limited Registration?
LIMITED REGISTRATION is with AKC and there are NO Breeding Rights to the buyer. A dog registered with an AKC Limited Registration is still eligible to be entered in AKC events which include: Obedience, Tracking, Field Trials, Hunting Tests, Herding, Lure Coursing, Agility and Earthdog. Can I visit my puppy before pickup day?
Unfortunately, we do NOT allow puppy buyers to visit the litter prior to pick up date, due to health concerns of the litter and our dogs. We do everything we can to try and keep our puppies healthy for the buyers that have deposits for their puppy. We will keep you updated on the puppy's progress by sending photos and/or videos of the litter periodically. Do you Microchip your puppies?
Yes! Every Vorderosa Puppy will be have an implanted Microchip. You will need to register your Microchip at www.buddy.com to activate the chip. A nominal fee is charged on their website. Can I bring my existing pet on pick up day?
Unfortunately, we do NOT allow your existing pets here on pick up day, for the health and safety of our puppies. Puppies can still easily contract diseases and infections at this young age. Thank you for your understanding. What do I need when I pick up my puppy?
We recommend that your bring a small collar (10"-14"), a basic leash (NON-Retractable), Waste Disposal Bags, and a small crate. For longer drives home, we recommend a chew toy, water, traveling water dish, and paper towels. When should I go to the vet after picking up my puppy?
Puppies need their second booster vaccine two weeks from the first vaccination. This would be about 1 - 1-1/2 weeks after picking up the puppy. Do I get anything extra with my puppy?
A Puppy Packet is provided with AKC Papers and other helpful information. Do you remove the dewclaws?
No, we do not remove the dewclaws on our puppies. Fast breeds, such as Goldens, use their dewclaws for cornering, which actually make contact with the ground and help with traction in sports like Agility. Dogs also use their dewclaws as “thumbs” for chewing on bones. Studies have shown that the dogs without their dewclaws have more foot injuries and the chances of arthritis in their "wrist" increases because the dewclaws help with stabilization of that joint. |
