Payment Policy
The deposit to reserve a puppy is $300 if you mail a personal check, money order, cashier's check or use Western Union.
If you want to use a credit card, then you must use Western Union or PayPal, because we do not have a credit card machine to process credit card payments directly.
If you want to use PayPal for the deposit, then please click on the "Buy Now" PayPal button below. You can use your checking account or most major credit cards securely on line with PayPal.
If you use PayPal a $10 processing fee is applied to the $300 deposit, totaling $310.00 if you use PayPal.
All the information you need to mail a deposit is on the "Deposit Form". Everyone making a deposit is required to read our deposit policy page and then submit the deposit form, click here for the Deposit Form.
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 hits our bank 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. If we are shipping your puppy, the puppy must be
paid for in full no later than 3 business days after the date of
selection, or prior to shipping, which ever comes first. Otherwise the
puppy will 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. Western
Union shouldn't take more than 24 hours.
Sales Tax
If your picking up your puppy in person, then California sales tax will be applied at the Los Angels county rate of 9.75%.
If we are shipping the puppy to you "out of state", then there is no sales tax.
