Completing this application is a step in the process of acquiring a puppy from Revere Dalmatians, but it does not guarantee you'll get a puppy from this or any future litter. The breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time.
APPROVAL AND DEPOSIT: I will review applications within 2 business days of receipt. Applications are processed in the order they are received. If your home is a good fit, I'll notify you. I will then place you on a list. We do not accept deposits.
YOUR PICK OF PUPPY: We do not allow people to pick their own puppies. We take the information in this application and the feeling we have from our many conversations we will have and match the appropriate puppy to the correct puppy. I spend 8 weeks with them and will know their personalities well. We Volhard test all the puppies to give us a better understanding of what type of home is best for them.
GOING HOME: We cannot hold puppies for extended times; it is critical for their social development that the litter departs within a reasonable timeframe. If you have a big vacation planned or have events that would conflict with a young puppy, please know puppies cannot be boarded in a kennel until they have received their full immunizations and their rabies vaccination which cannot be done until 3 months of age. If you are local to me I would prefer to babysit your dog.
CONTRACT: We have a contract and will not place a puppy without a signed contract. We believe it's the professional thing to do to memorialize our obligations to each other on paper so there are no questions later, and for that reason, it's a bit lengthy. If you have questions about specific terms, you need to contact us prior to picking up your puppy.
SPAY/NEUTER: We require spay/neuter at the earliest 18 months. Dalmatians especially boys need to remain intact until they fully develop. This helps with all kinds of developmental issues. I am a firm believer in not doing early spay and neuter. It is for the health of your dog. I will be writing a blog post on this amongst other things.
REGISTRATION PAPERS: Our excellent family companions do come with registration from the AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB. All puppies will be registered before they leave my home. All pet puppies will be sold on limited registration with contractual consequences if the dog is bred. I will not allow them to be registered and I will do execute my contract to remove the dog. All show dogs will be sold on co-ownership with me as the first registered owner. I have two contracts. One for pet and one for show.
