We will be here to answer any questions you have and help in any way we can for the life of the dog. Although many people like to pick a puppy based on the cutest, biggest, smallest, or other characteristic they find endearing, Swiss Berners reserves the right to place the puppy of our choice with the owner that seems to be best matched to the puppies needs. We will do our best to consider your likes and dislikes, but the overall placement decision will be made according to the best interest of the dog. Thank you for considering us as you search for your new companion.
Puppy Deposit Contract
I understand that by sending a $500.- deposit, I am committed in my wish to purchase a puppy. I understand that although the breeder will do their best in providing a puppy for me, it is no guarantee. Factors such as any stillborn puppies, or simply not enough puppies to satisfy the several other deposits that the breeder received may force the breeder to return my deposit. If this be the case, the breeder will have fourteen days from day of birth to return my deposit check with no added interest. I understand that the breeder will consider several factors such as, but not limited to: time spent on waiting list, answers to questionnaire, outcome of home visit if one was performed, and general feeling that the breeder has about the prospective buyers in their attempt to place puppies in the best homes. If the desired sex of the puppy is not available, I will have a choice in accepting a puppy of the other sex or having my deposit refunded. Furthermore, I understand that a puppy’s life is fragile during the first few weeks and that if my puppy should die during this time, the breeder will refund my deposit money.
