Why all of this is published

Most breeders send the contract after you have paid the deposit. Ours is on the website before you have sent anything, alongside every policy it references, so you can read the whole set in your own time and ask about anything that does not sit right. That is the point of publishing it.

Read it all? Now the fun part.

Take the time you need. Read the agreement, ask the awkward questions, and choose the puppy that fits the life you actually live — not the one in the nicest photograph.
