AnamCara Gordon Setters

Purchase price of pups begins at $900 plus any shipping charges and supplies. Top show prospects are reserved for show homes only. All sales are final and by written contract. Buyers have one week from date of acquisition to have the pup examined by a veterinarian. If any problem is discovered at that time, a full refund of the purchase price (excluding any shipping costs) will be given upon return of the pup with a letter of explanation from the examining veterinarian.

A $100 deposit will reserve a pup until the age of 7 weeks. Deposits are taken on a first-come, first-served basis and are acknowledged immediately, with follow-up upon the birth of a litter. Deposits apply in full to the purchase price. Deposits are refundable only if I am not able to satisfy your needs in a pup!

Payment in full is expected at the time of acquisition of the puppy. I do not accept personal checks. Payment must be made with a bank check, money order, or cash. I also have a PayPal account. I will retain the AKC registration application of the puppy until the bank check (if method of payment) clears, and I have the signed contract returned.

You may elect to fly to me, pick the puppy up, and fly home with it in a carry-on at 8 weeks, but not before. Otherwise, I ship puppies by air, after the age of 10 weeks. In the event that I ship by air alone (without its new owner), I will use a direct flight and a priority air cargo service if available, such as NorthWest Airlines VIP service, American Airlines Priority Parcel, Delta Dash, or Alaska Gold Spike service. If priority service is unavailable, I ship COD by Air Cargo. I prepay Priority services and payment must be sent to me in advance. I can ship in a buyer-owned kennel sent to me in advance, in a small shipping kennel (size 200 Vari-Kennel) returned to me at the buyer's expense, or in an adult-sized kennel which I can purchase and bill you for (please call or email me for sizes and costs.) If the airline or the buyer requires a health certificate (most do), I bill the buyer at my cost. I do not charge for transportation to Boston, MA, Manchester, NH or Portland, ME airports.

When shipping a puppy, I will send the buyer two unsigned copies of my sales contract. Upon receipt of pup and any necessary veterinary examination, the buyer will sign both copies of the contract in front of a Notary, and return them to AnamCara with payment in full, including any additional expenses. I will return one signed copy of the contract to the buyer, along with an AKC registration application for the pup.

I do not make any explicit guarantees. My breeding practices are outlined in my [Breeding Goals]. If a genetic defect appears following the initial examination and that defect renders the pup unsuitable for the purpose(s) for which it was purchased (hunting dog, show dog, breeding stock, field competition, etc.) I will replace the dog with another puppy of similar quality. I do not refund monies, nor contribute financially to any medical procedures or treatment. I do not insist upon the return of the original dog if the owner wishes to keep him or her. I do insist on placement with me first with registration signed over to me. I will provide a replacement puppy at a time appropriate for myself and the owner(s), be it at once, or in subsequent years, subject to availability. All efforts are made to ensure healthy puppies when the litter is planned, arrives, and sent to new homes.

All prospective buyers must submit an application before I will consider selling them one of my puppies. No exceptions.
