CONTRACT TYPES:
Adult Pet Home: The dog must be spay/neutered between 24-36 months of age, and will NEVER be bred under any circumstances (or may be altered prior to leaving us). Our pet home dogs do not have serious flaws - we just believe that the majority of dogs we rehome deserve to live their days out being loved unconditionally regardless of their breeding eligibility.
Homes that have proven to be capable of responsibly containing/managing an intact dog may keep their dog intact indefinitely if they wish so long as the dog never contributes to a breeding (separate agreement).
Adult Co-Own: Breeder retains full or partial breeding rights to the dog. The new owner can be as involved or uninvolved as they want. Each co-ownership agreement is unique and tailored to fit each home's wants/needs. There are health testing, titling, and general ethics requirements that may be fulfilled by the Breeder, Owner, or both (or may already be done before rehomed depending on age).
This is how we keep our breeding program alive for generations to come - we personally value keeping our dogs in our home as our pets, which means we must find great homes for the dogs that we think could help shape our program's future in the right direction.
A Co-Own is a wonderful opportunity for someone who wants to get into responsibly breeding American Bullies but doesn't know where to start and wants a mentor OR for owners that just want a wonderful pet and take pride in helping us get closer to our goal by allowing us to occasionally borrow their dog for extensive health testing, training/titling, and possibly breeding down the road.
Adult Show/Sport Homes: ALL Owners from every type of ownership agreement are encouraged to get involved in sports & shows with their dogs! It is a great avenue to bond with your pet. There is no additional fee/stipulation that comes along with someone wanting to show or compete with their dog in any way. We will do our best to help coach and help you along whatever path you choose to take with your dog - from sharing knowledge we have about training the sport competitively with our own dogs, putting you in touch with trainers in the area, or finding local events/clubs to get involved with. We want to see our puppies out doing things! Learn more about Canine Sports here.
APPROVAL: We will review applications within 2-4 business days of being received. We will notify you within 5-15 business days regarding your application and the next steps moving forward Don't fret if you haven't been contacted quickly - sometimes there are technical issues or we get swamped with life responsibilities. If you haven't heard anything, just send us an email!
PRICING: Our adult price on all contract types is $2,000 USD - the Canadian exchange rate changes daily, but on average this is approximately $2,700 CAD. We do not "up charge" for colour, markings, gender, parents, or contract type. Our adult dogs are priced lower than our puppies but have had usually had extensive professional training, vetting, health testing and titling done prior to them leaving.
DEPOSIT & PAYMENT: Once selected to be a future home for one of our dogs, we will send you the contract for you to review and get comfortable with. After receiving the signed contract back, we will request that the full payment be made before the dog exchanges hands. All payments can be made via PayPal or eTransfer for Canadian residents.
Due to the overwhelming majority of our applicants living in the USA, we keep our prices in USD to keep things easy. The Canadian exchange rates change daily, but on average $1,000 USD is approximately $1,300 CAD.
TRIAL PERIOD & FULL REFUND: We offer a 30-60 day trial period on all of our adult rehomes. This is to ensure that the home is a good match – sometimes certain mannerisms or energy levels sound fine for a family on paper, but it’s a different story when the dog is in their house. We do our due diligence to prevent this situation from ever occurring, but the trial period makes it less stressful for everyone involved.
If at any point throughout the 30-60 days the new owner or Breeder feels that it is not a great fit long term, the owner will be fully refunded and the dog will be returned to us and the search for the perfect forever home will continue!
Most information regarding our dogs, breeding ethics and puppy process can be found on our website. Feel free to snoop on there and be sure to check our our "Available" page to see what, if any, dogs may currently be available.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
