By clicking the submit button, I agree to the Jax Creek Appenzellers, LLC adoption process and interview.
By clicking the submit button, I understand Jax Creek Appenzellers, LLC will check my references including veterinary and personal.
I understand there is a $1,000 deposit required to reserve a puppy and that a puppy is not reserved until the deposit is received.
I understand that the remainder of the purchase price must be provided before the puppy is picked up.
I agree to attend two training courses with my puppy, each course having multiple classes.
If I plan to breed a show quality puppy, I agree to (1) Register the puppy with AMDCA and/or AKC, (2) obtain OFA normal patella, hip and elbow xrays prior to breeding, (3) not breed before 2 years of age, and (4) sign a contract with JCA for co-ownership until these requirements are accomplished or request changing the contract to pet/companion.
I understand that if I no longer want or can no longer care for my adopted pet, I am required to notify Jax Creek Appenzellers, LLC and that I am not authorized to place the puppy in a rescue center or transfer to the puppy to another owner. Jax Creek will work with you to find the best resolution to the situation and/or to approve a new home or retrieve the puppy. At no point can a Jax Creek Appenzeller be given to a shelter or pound.
I understand I will be required to sign the Jax Creek Appenzeller, LLC, contract at or before puppy pick-up.
I understand Jax Creek Appenzellers, LLC, does not use a first-come, first-served process for new owners to select puppies. The puppies will undergo the Volhard's Puppy Aptitude Test on/around 49 days of age so that the puppies can be best matched to new families. Earlier applications will get preference for the puppies considering temperment-test results, sex and other applicant-desired traits.
By clicking the submit button, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Jax Creek Appenzellers, LLC, against any losses, lawsuits, claims, injury, damages incurred by me or to any persons or property by my adopted pet, once adoption has been completed.
