Vaillant Feu Beauceron Puppy Application

AKC Beauceron Puppy Application

Beaucerons du Vaillant Feu
Thanks for considering a Vaillant Feu puppy as your next working partner or companion! At first glance if you have never purchased from a responsible breeder, you might think "sheesh, this is a little long - are all these questions really necessary?" Not to worry, these questions ensure that we are placing not only the best puppy with the best families but making sure we are even a good fit for each other to begin with. We may not have what you are looking for but are always happy to give recommendations.

Every family/person is different, and there are no right or wrong answers. We know many families have two working adults and we don't expect anyone to be a superhero and quit a day job just to be able to take home a puppy; what we hope to see is reasonable understanding of the beauceron's needs and willingness to find accommodation to suit that in a healthy fashion. Every puppy family has different needs, and this application helps us identify who needs what information and what homes might make the best fit. If you're a veteran beauceron owner, we don't want to waste your time regaling things you already know; by the same token, if this is your first puppy or first beauceron, we want to make sure you leave prepared for what life with a puppy may bring. So again, thank you!

Puppy Preferences
We understand this can be a very exciting time for our potential puppy buyers! Once you have been approved to the waitlist, we require a $250 non-refundable deposit to hold your place on the waitlist. Deposit goes towards final purchase price of the puppy; current puppy prices are $2,500. If you choose to crop, we use a licensed veterinarian and this is an additional $650 to be paid prior to the cropping appointment being scheduled.

Our puppies are raised with Puppy Culture and Avidog protocols. We post weekly (at least!) updates to our social medias of our puppies so you will see many photos and videos of the puppies as they grow! In most cases all of our puppies are matched with their homes prior to 8 weeks of age and we are unable to hold puppies without a deposit. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding this.

What to expect
Completing this application is a step in the process to acquiring a puppy from Vaillant Feu, but it does not guarantee you'll get a puppy from this or any future litter. While it's unlikely, the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time. If this application is approved, you'll be notified and be required to send a $250 non-refundable deposit within 7 days in order to hold a spot on our waiting list for a future or current litter. Please note our deposit policy: if you make a deposit, you are committing to take a puppy if there is one that matches you. Should you elect to not take a puppy, the deposit is forfeited. Should there not be a puppy for you, you will have the option to roll over to a future litter. We do the best to match preferences. Deposits are non-refundable. From time to time we may decide to keep a puppy out of a litter. We reserve the right to hold puppies. This may mean that certain puppies may not be available for a couple weeks while we decide on if we may keep the said puppy or not. Puppies will go to their new homes at 8-9 weeks. Puppies must be picked up within 7 days unless other written arrangements are made. 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. If you purchase "Limited Registration" we require spay/neuter after 24 months. *We do not allow any puppy to leave our property prior to 8 weeks of age, NO EXCEPTIONS*
