Completing this application is a step in the process of acquiring a Harbur-Royale French Bulldog puppy. While it is highly unlikely, the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time from applications.
APPROVAL AND PAYMENT: We will review applications within 5 business days of receipt. If your application makes your family a good fit, we will notify you as soon as possible. We breed on a scheduled cycle, so we will only accept payments when puppies are expected or actually available. During late pregnancy, we will notify approved homes in order to make a holding deposit on a puppy. Please make this payment within 72 hours of the approval e-mail, which is a deposit of $1000.
YOUR PICK OF PUPPY: Puppies will be assigned in payment order by the first or second preference of the payment or as indicated on the application. If neither of your choices is available, you may elect another puppy from the litter. We ask that you make a choice within 24 hours of notification since there may be other families waiting for a chance to choose. You should review both the payment policies and pick policies on our website for any updates.
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 vaccinations which cannot be done until 3 months of age.
CONTRACT: We 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.
SPAYING FOR PET PAPERS: We require spay/neuter on all of our pet homes. We have a take-back provision in our contract. Any puppy from our home always has a home here, and will never experience the fear and burden of life at a shelter. Taking back an unaltered dog into our home poses a significant risk to our own dogs due to canine STDs and the possibility an unaltered dog could be pregnant. Sadly, many well-intentioned folks don't pay close enough attention and suddenly their barely-adolescent dog is pregnant by multiple studs of unknown heritage. Spay surgery while pregnant is exceedingly risky, and several canine STDs such as brucellosis can be transferred to humans, which poses an unacceptable risk to our family. Because we take cradle-to-grave "original home" responsibility for the puppies we created, puppies must be de-sexed unless you are under a guardian home agreement.
REGISTRATION PAPERS: Harbur-Royale French Bulldog puppy companions come with registration papers with MDBA on Mains OR once provision of Desexing vertificate is done with Pet Only purposes.
