Although we do not breed for tiny Poms, occasionally they do come up.  Tiny pet puppies of exceptional quality are priced at show quality prices due to the demand for them.  "Tiny" is an estimated adult weight under 4lbs.  These tiny guys are often referred to as "Teacup".

The purchaser of our dogs agrees to proper care, training and health maintenance.  We offer on-going support in family life integration.  The purchaser also agrees that, should something happen and they are not able to keep a dog placed by us - that dog is to be returned to us.

We guarantee this puppy/dog to be in sound body and good health, and free from communicable disease as far as appears to the eye.  All puppies and adults are current on their vaccines.  The vaccine schedule that we use is linked here. The buyer has 72 hours (Sunday not included) from the time of transfer to have the puppy checked by a veterinarian of their choice, at their own expense.  If the buyer’s vet exam reveals that the puppy is sick or diseased or a genetic defect is found and a vet of the breeder’s choice concurs with the diagnosis, the buyer may return the puppy to the breeder at the buyer’s expense.  Notice of intent to return must be given to the breeder within 96 hours (Sunday not included) of the date of the transfer, along with a statement in writing from they buyer’s vet as to the heath problem.  The breeder will apply the balance toward the purchase of another puppy/dog within a one year time period.  Transportation of the returned and replacement puppy is the buyers expense.  If the credit is not used within that one year period the credit becomes null and void.  There is no guarantee against accidents, sickness not contracted on the breeder’s premises.

All pet puppies must be spayed or neutered - without exception.  Registration papers may not be given until vet proof of spay/neuter is received by the seller.

Buyers are always encouraged to come to our home to pick up their puppy.  This also gives the buyer the opportunity to see the surroundings that the puppy has been raised in. 

I do not ship puppies in airline cargo.

We will gladly meet a buyer at the airport and have no problems allowing a small puppy to travel with you in the cabin where you can keep a watch on them.  You are responsible for brining your own carry on kennel and will be responsible for the cost of the travel certificate ($95), airline carry on fee (varies by airline - generally about $125) and my mileage to airport fee ($30).

I additionally offer the service of Air delivery.  I will fly the turnaround (you must be on time at the airport as I will not miss my returning flight).  You pay my round trip plane ticket, Vet travel certificate ($95), airline carry on fee (varies by airline - generally about $125), my mileage to airport ($30) and my delivery service fee ($200).  The puppy travels with me in the cabin where I can make sure that all is well. If the layover at the turnaround is more than 6 hours a hotel (including transportation - hotel shuttle is fine) will be required with next day return flight. 

The reason that I have taken this stand on airline shipping are three fold.  Over the past several years I have seen a escalating disregard by the airports in humane treatment of shipped animals.

• I shipped a puppy to San Francisco (Alaska/Horizon).  The kennel for this puppy was badly broken, indicating that something heavy had fallen on it during the flight.  The puppy was fine.  The airlines had actually put a "sticker" over the break to hold the kennel together and the damage was never reported to myself or the purchaser. 
• A puppy shipped to me by Continental arrived at PDX comatose and seizing.  Rather than getting the emergency medical care, as described in their policy, she was held at the cargo office for an additional hour (she was on an earlier plane than I was told).  I was able to get the emergency care in time and the puppy is now fine, but Continental has refused to cover any Veterinarian charges that were the result of their negligent delay in getting emergency care.  In fact, they have refused to address the issue at all claiming that hypoglycemia isn't their problem.  I have never argued that; I have only addressed the withholding of medical care in my claims  The Vet is two(2) miles from the airport.
• The latest incident was with a puppy flying to Harrisburg PA on a Delta flight.  Delta is supposed to have a wonderful "pet safe" system.  You can't prove it by me... This puppy had a flight change in Atlanta GA and the arriving flight was delayed.  She was supposed to be on the next flight, and the flight manifest indicated that she was on it.  When the plane arrived she was not on the plane and they had no idea where she was, but "assumed" she was in their animal facility in GA.  No one could be reached at that facility to check on her.  She did arrive at her destination a full 12 hours late, and still not listed on any flight manifest, but completely fine.

So, three incidents, three airlines, this is why I have put this new policy into place.  I will no longer ship by any airline cargo.  

Due to multiple encounters with Fraud, we have been forced to no longer accept personal or business checks.  The only means of payment we are able to accept are cash,  PayPal (with a 4% additional fee), money order,  cashiers check.
