Deposit Info & Other Information

Southern Pride's

Deposit Information

Very Important Information!

Please read, there has been a change in how deposits & waiting lists are done. Starting 5/1/10.

Deposits:

Puppies already born - ½ Down of the purchase price (non-refundable)

We DO NOT accept personal checks anymore for any kind of payment! No exceptions! You can pay with credit/debit cards through Paypal & you must add the 4% service charge. You can also pay with money order, money gram through Walmart or Western Union. Cash only when puppy is being picked up personally.

Please call, text or email me prior to sending a deposit and check availability on the puppy you are interested in. Be sure you are ready to commit to a puppy before you send a deposit. I am sorry, but DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

Deposits are on a first come first serve basis only! Here are how puppies are marked on the web site.

Available- I have a puppy available for adoption.

On Hold- I am working on the waiting lists.

Sale Pending- I am waiting on a deposit.

Sold- I have received a deposit.

Final payment of the puppy less than deposit received should include shipping charges. (if shipping is required) All final payments are due by the time the puppy is 7 weeks old unless you are picking up your puppy personally. Payments paid are non refundable & non transferable. Puppies usually are ready to be picked up or shipped when they are 8 weeks old. Sometimes they do have to stay longer due to size/maturity. I want to do what is best for my puppies.

Waiting Lists:

It is a $100 deposit to be placed on the waiting lists. If you are interested in being placed on a waiting list for a particular female, please let me know & I will send a form for you to fill out & send back with your deposit. The form will have a section for you to put the preferred color/sex so there will not be a miscommunication between you & me. Deposits are recieved on a first come, first serve basis & your first name only will be posted on the upcoming litters page under the litter you are interested in so everyone knows where they are at on the waiting list & what color is requested. Waiting lists deposits are only refundable or can be transferred to another upcoming litter if the female is not pregnant or if the color/sex requested is not available. If color/sex is available & you decide not to take the puppy, you forfeit your waiting list deposit. Once puppies born, ½ of the purchase price is due less than the $100 waiting list deposit. Final payment is due by the time the puppy is 7 weeks old unless being picked up personally.

Announcement list:

I can put your name on the announcement list for free. This does NOT guarantee you will get a puppy. After the puppies are born & the people who have placed deposits on a litter have picked their puppies, I will email everyone on the announcement list at the same time (if any puppies are available) & deposits will be recieved on a first come, first serve basis. Deposits are half down of the purchase price. I cannot hold a puppy without a deposit.

Shipping Costs:

I use Delta Airlines & the cost to ship one puppy is $300. I can ship two puppies in one crate for $350. This price is an additional cost & is not included in the price of my puppies. Shipping prices will include shipping crate, vet exam, health certificate, airline fees & insurance. Unfortunately, shipping costs are not negotiable. Also due to my location, shipping is only available in the United States.

Additional Stay:

Unless otherwise stated by me, puppies are ready for their new homes at 8 weeks of age & arrangements should be made to pick up puppy or to have it shipped. Requests for puppy stay beyond 8 weeks will be subject to a boarding fee. Boarding fees are $15 per day or $100 per week.
