Frequently Asked Questions & General Information
HOW DOES A DEPOSIT WORK/IS IT REFUNDABLE?
Deposits are non-refundable. If you wish to move your deposit to a future litter, that option is available to you. When a deposit is placed, you get the next available, consecutive spot in line for whichever gender you would like. Breeder holds the right to pick a puppy at any time. Deposits are $500.00CAD.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
Mission, BC, Canada.
We are approximately an hour (75km) outside of Vancouver, BC, approximately 4 hours (340km) away from the central Okanagan, and approximately 3.5-4 hours (150+km) away from the main ferry ports on Vancouver Island.
DO YOU SHIP?
We can ship a puppy, provided that the buyer sets up and funds the flight, as well as all required veterinarian examinations for the flight.
DO YOU SELL BREEDING RIGHTS?
Puppies with breeding rights go to vetted homes/kennels only. Breeding rights come at an extra cost. All of my puppies come with a strict, non-breeding contract to eliminate unethical breeding, as well as improper inbreeding due to a small gene pool here in BC. It is highly likely that another Rat Terrier is related to mine.
Breeding two untested dogs who are too closely related could result in genetic and physical issues in the litter. I am very picky with who my breeding stock goes to.
If you are interested in purchasing a breeding female or male, please let me know first and foremost.
WHEN ARE PUPPIES READY TO GO?
Puppies are ready to join their new families when they are 8 weeks old.
CAN WE MEET THE PUPPIES TO PICK?
Unfortunately not. I will take pictures, do video calls and describe personalities/traits on order to help choose the best fit for your lifestyle, but I won’t be able to have buyers come to my home to pick out their new puppy. There are several reasons for this, the main one being that I have 7 children and prefer as much privacy as possible. I try my best not to invite too many people into my home, but will accommodate my buyers to the best of my ability.
