Reserving a Laurel Mt. Llewellin Puppy?
How to Make A Deposit
If you need to make a deposit, pay for a pup or started dog, or air shipping, you can do so with your credit card by clicking on the PayPal button at the bottom of this page. It is via a PayPal secure payment system (you DO NOT need a PayPal account to pay with a credit card). Alternatively, you can mail a check or money order.
Costs & Terms:
Current prices for our puppies are $850.00, male or female. Deposits are $200.00 and are non-refundable. They are transferable, but no longer refundable. Puppies must be paid for in full before the day the pup is picked-up or shipped (if paying by check, checks need at least 10 days to clear the bank). And, now, we must include a 3% additional fee if paying via credit card.
We ship our pups via Northwest Airlines and have had very good results. Costs vary, but typically range between $250 - $350, usually around $300. at the time of this writing (Augut '08). You may provide us with an airline-approved shipping crate, or we have many available. We can sell you one or ours, or you can put a deposit on the crate and then return it to us and we will refund your deposit.
Reservations:
We will accept approximately 6-8 reservations per litter (depending on the litter). Your name can be added to the waiting list, in the event that the reservation list has been filled. People on the waiting list will be notified after the litter has whelped and after the reservation list is notified. The waiting list will also be notified first of a planned breeding and be given the opportunity to make a deposit. Our reservation list fills rather quickly at times.
Puppy Selection Policy:
Puppy selection will not begin until the pups are 6 weeks old, and have had a thorough examination by the veterinarian. There will no longer be any exceptions to this. The litter must be vet-checked at around 6 weeks of age before they are released for picking. Photos, personality notes, and all recorded health information on pups that are available for your choosing will be emailed to you. If you plan to choose your pup in person, you must plan to visit nearest the 6 week date as possible, and return to pick up your pup after 7 weeks of age. We can not hold up the picking process for those that want to wait until 7 weeks of age when they come to pick up the pup. Sorry, this is not fair to those waiting, as I am sure you can understand.
We will provide many notes on personality. We can send small clips of video, if desired to help you decide. We take tons of photos. And, you are welcome to visit as soon as the veterinarian gives them their 6 week check up and the clearance of a sound, healthy pup to make your selection.
Tell us what you are looking for in your Llewellin pup and we will help to make the best matches. We want you to be happy as well as the pup to be going to the best situation for it. We would not sell any pup we would not keep ourselves.
Going Home
Puppies can go to their new homes after 7 weeks of age. Puppies being air-shipped can not leave us until they are 8 weeks of age. We need to be informed if you plan on air-shipping as far in advance as possible. There are certain times of the year that air-shipping is not possible due to temperatures (too warm or too cold).
We prefer to ship from Arnold Palmer Regional Airport (LBE), using NorthWest Airlines Cargo services. This limits flights to Monday-Friday and usually via the VIP shipping service. This runs around $290.00. Some destinations are able to just go "freight" at around $190.00. You would need to add then, the crate ($50-$60), the health certificate ($45).
We can also make arrangements to meet you somewhere "in-between." This will also be at the buyer's expense and we would only ask for nominal travel expenses.
