Our Contract

Below is our contract & addendum on google docs. Please read and print it out for your 6 week visit!
​
​Our number is not listed because we only use EMAIL correspondence.  It is how we keep a record of agreement and client history. 

****  Please... DO NOT  google “Kettle Pond Farm” for a telephone number, because you are harassing people who are not us.  They have asked us to fix this because the problem has overwhelmed them with wrong number calls. 

Our Visitation Policies!

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR YOUNG PUPPIES!
​Puppies have little to no immunity.  We are ultra careful where our dogs are allowed go, or where we go ourselves, so as not to bring contagious illness home to our unprotected puppies. An individual who has been in contact with parvovirus, for example, may still have the disease on their shoes or clothes months later.  Visits to multiple breeders is highly dangerous to young puppies, and for this reason, we do not host individuals who want to “see my property”, “meet the breed”, or “meet the parents” before placing a deposit.  References are posted on our website.  Our need for privacy and personal safety on our property is an equally important reason for this policy. 


1. Only individuals with deposits are allowed to come meet their puppy (or select one).

2. We can not host buyers interested in meeting the breed or the parent dogs on our property as a prerequisite for placing a deposit. 

3. The puppy visitation space is small, and we ask that you limit the number of people to no more than three.  It’s overwhelming for the puppy when large groups arrive and moreover confusing with so many opinions. The primary caretaker should be the person to select the puppy.

4. We do not have a bathroom available off the visitor room. Please don’t ask.

5. Families who have had a pup with parvo in their home cannot adopt a puppy because the disease is still in their home, and puppies do not have protection until their final vaccinations at 16 weeks. 

6. You will be stepping into a tray of disinfectant and must sanitize your hands when you arrive. Please wear shoes you can get wet.

7. We arrange a special time for your visit. You will need to reschedule if more than 15 minutes late.

8. Please do not wander around our property, or have members of your party doing so while you are inside.  We have had people peering into the dogs play yard while the dogs bark back at them.  To dogs, this is frightening and bad human manners.

9. Please do not bring your family dog with you when you come.


We apologize for any inconvenience this policy may cause, and truly value those clients that can respect our boundaries, and appreciate the extra precautions we take to assure the health and safety of their future puppy.



​The Process of Getting a Puppy

 The Process:1). EMAIL us and tell us what puppy or litter you are interested in, and then tell us about yourself, your family, where you live, your schedule, and how this puppy will fit into your family life.  We try to work with you for solutions if we see a potential problem.  Our goal is a match for a lifetime.


2) Once approved, you can send a non refundable deposit to reserve a puppy, or your place in the selection order, which happens by appointment at 6 weeks old.  Only people with deposits can visit the litter at this age. 


3) Print out our contract, bring it with you to the 6 week visit, so we can record which puppy you selected on the contract by microchip.  You can pay by check at the six week visit, or in cash when you pick up the puppy at 8 weeks old. 


4) Be sure you ask for directions to my house as GPS will not get you here. Also be sure to order the same food puppy was raised on. 


5) Please have some patience if contacting me.  I ask for emails, because my phone doesn't have service (doesn't even ring) at my home, but people call anyway and fill my voicemail box with very long stories, or text several times in 2 hours.  Listening to all those messages, and then going off my property to call everyone back is a huge chunk of my time to do what i can do in 3- 5 minutes by email.  Emails help me to remember who you are, and what we talked about.  They are also “agreements” and prevent misunderstandings. 
​I respond to emails throughout the day, and if 24 hours passes, and you did not get a response, please send it again.
