All Nightline puppies are CKC registered and sold on non-breeding agreements. All puppies are docked, dewormed, tattooed, vet checked and have had their first vaccinations. They come with a complete puppy package that includes photos and paperwork on both mom and dad, a 5 generation pedigree, vaccination certificate and health check, ear taping instructions and grooming instructions. A printout from our kennel that will answer any and all questions regarding feeding, toys, housebreaking, training, children, etc. is given out to every future owner before pickup dates to help you get prepared.
We give very specific instructions on how to raise a healthy, happy puppy and the only dogs used in our breeding program are not only beautiful but also sound of body and mind. Puppies are fully guaranteed against severe crippling hip dysplasia and life threatening genetic/congenital illnesses like epilepsy and cardiomyopathy. If your puppy should be so unfortunate enough to develop any of these, we will replace him or her with another puppy when you are ready. We would not require that you return the sick puppy to us unless you wanted to.
Puppies are available with ears either cropped or uncropped. If you want to show your puppy, then we recommend that you have the ears cropped. We have noticed that more and more pet buyers are more interested in natural ears. It is a personal choice. The true look of a Giant is with cropped ears but many people do not want to deal with the ear taping and prefer the softer look of a natural ear. Nice, small, high set natural ears are quite attractive but we cannot guarantee that this will be the case. This is not a breed that is bred with ear size and set in mind.
Puppies are ready to go to their new homes between 7 and 8 weeks of age. We do require a $200 non-refundable deposit to reserve a puppy once we know that we have a pregnancy. This breed is not suitable for everyone. Only people that we have either met or talked to at length beforehand and we are sure will offer a great life for one of our puppies are put on a waiting list for an upcoming litter. Occassionally we do have older puppies and young adults available as well. Our puppies are $1,500 uncropped. Ear cropping is extra. We prefer if at all possible that people come to pick up their puppy in person. If it has to be shipped, the cost of shipping and crate is extra. |
