For the final payment, if you are picking up your puppy in person, then we prefer cash, because even cashier's checks can be stop paid.

However if you are coming in person and traveling a long distance and do not want to carry cash, then please email us to discuss other payment options. Under certain circumstances with proper identification, we will accept US Postal money orders and cashier's checks. Another option is you can bank wire the money to us, as long as the wire clears before the puppy leaves our property.

We do not normally take PayPal for final payments (only for deposits), because PayPal has a good buyer protection policy, but a rather poor seller protection policy and they also charge us a 3% fee per transaction. So if you need to pay your balance with PayPal, then please let us know this "before" making your deposit, so we can discuss this with you and decide if paying your balance with PayPal is going to be an acceptable option or not.

If you need to use a credit card for the final payment, then you can use Western Union, but payment must be received prior to the puppy leaving our property.

If we are "shipping" the puppy to you and you need to mail your final payment to us, then we do accept cashier's checks, we also accept money orders, Western Union and bank wires. If you need to use a credit card, you can use Western Union. Cashier's checks and money orders must clear our bank prior to shipping. No personal checks will be accepted for final payments.

All puppies (being shipped or picked up in person) must be paid for in full no later than by the original "Take Home Date" listed for your litter or prior to shipping, which ever comes first. If you have arranged for your puppy to stay with us past the original "Take Home Date", the puppy must still be paid for in full, no later than by the original Take Home Date for your litter. Otherwise the puppy and your deposit will both be forfeited. A bank wire only takes 24 hours to complete and mailing a check using FedEx or UPS shouldn't take longer than 3 business days, plus you can always over night mail it with FedEx or UPS, but make sure to get a tracking # and guaranteed delivery date. Western Union shouldn't take more than 24 hours to process.

If you've made prior arrangements for your puppy to stay with us past the original Take Home Date and you're being charged boarding fees, all boarding fees must also be paid for in full prior to shipping or release of the puppy.

Sales Tax

If your picking up your puppy in person, then California sales tax will be applied at the current Los Angels county rate.
