Completing this application is the first step in the process of purchasing a companion or pet puppy from the Caddo K9 Academy breeding program. While it's unlikely, the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time.
APPROVAL AND DEPOSIT: Applications will be reviewed within 2 business days of receipt. Applications are processed in the order they are received. After pups are born, they are assessed for service dog work. Puppies that either do not have a match with a disabled veteran or 1st responder or are undesireable for service work for some other reason will be release for sale to the public after initial assessment. If you are a match, you will receive a notification with a request for a deposit to hold your puppy. Please make this deposit within 48 hours of the approval e-mail. If you make a deposit, you are committing to take a puppy from the litter, regardless of whether your gender/color preference is available.
YOUR PICK OF PUPPY: Puppies will be assigned based upon family situation, goals for your dog and puppy drives and personality. Every effort is given to make a successful match and meet expectations. Please ask questions before committing.
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 understand puppies cannot be boarded in a kennel until they have received their full immunizations and their rabies vaccination which cannot be done until 4 months of age. Talk with us and we will figure it out.
CONTRACT: We do 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 prefer you do not spay/neuter unless purchased as a pet, and if so, not before 18 months.
REGISTRATION PAPERS: All purebred puppies purchased from Caddo K9 Academy will come with a LIMITED AKC registration application. Limited registration indicates that no offspring of the puppy transfered will be eligable for AKC registration. If you are planning to compete with your puppy once it matures or are professional breeder, please contact our office to discuss full registration options.
