Deposits, Payments and Shipping:
By placing a deposit for a puppy, you are entering an agreement between us (seller/breeder) and you (buyer) that you are committed to the purchase of a puppy from Sweet Pine Puppies.
This is a $400, refundable deposit.
The purpose of placing a deposit is to hold your place in line to pick out a puppy from this litter. You will be able to pick out your puppy from those available. The sequence in picking your puppy will be determined by the dates that the deposits were made.
Buyers are encouraged not to sign a contract or give a deposit if they are unsure if they want to purchase a puppy or are unsure if they can care for a puppy.
The purchase price (minus the deposit) is due when the puppy becomes 8 weeks old and is ready to go home. Any additional fees (shipping, boarding/training program, etc) will be due before the puppy leaves our care (see services page for additional options).
Any and all pick up and transport fees are covered by the buyer. If the puppy is being flight nannied/driven to the buyer the fee will be discussed before hand and covered in full by the buyer unless otherwise agreed upon by the seller. This will be paid before the puppy is delivered. The puppy will be picked up by the agreed upon date with the seller or the puppy will be put back up for sale.

Health Guarantees and Warranties:
The puppy will leave us dewormed, health checked, microchipped, and with their first set of shots (unless the puppy is under 2.5lbs at which point you can choose to take the puppy and vaccinate yourself or wait until he/she has reached that weight).
New owners are required to take the puppy to your local vet and confirm the puppy’s good health status within three days of purchase. Please have it in writing from your vet. If for some reason the vet finds the puppy unhealthy for any reason you must contact the breeder within 24 hours with a full written report. If the report is deemed to be accurate by the seller’s vet, the buyer will have the following options.
1. You may return the puppy for an “exchange” of another puppy “of like kind” when available, as chosen by seller. You must return the puppy before being given a new puppy.
OR
2. You may return the puppy for a refund of the price you paid, minus any shipping. Refund will be issued at the time it is returned/received back into our care.
All shipping is nonrefundable.
The buyer further agrees that under no circumstances will the dog be abandoned, given or sold to a shelter, pound, a pet store, laboratory or research facility of any kind, without first giving the Breeder the right to re-home the dog (With No Fee).
Failure to take your puppy to the vet within this time frame will void this guarantee. This guarantee does not include Stress related illnesses, hypoglycemia, parasites (including giardia or coccidiosis) or any illness due to the ingestion of foreign objects, food, chemicals or physical injury.
You acknowledge that you’ve read and understand this guarantee.

Any litters produced by this dog will result in a $10,000 fee per litter, due immediately. Any legal fees incurred by the Seller to enforce this non-breeding contract are the sole responsibility of the Buyer.
