Other Details of Buyers Puppy Purchase:

The puppy chosen is to be reserved for the said named buyer listed here in this puppy purchase agreement. This puppy pick will be personally made by the said named buyer or by his/her appointed representative. 

PURCHASE PRICE

The purchase price of the puppy agreed upon:         

Part of the purchase price will be paid immediately with this agreement as a Holding Fee to guarantee that seller will hold the puppy for delivery to the buyer on the specified delivery date and delivery terms {given after their birth}. This Holding Fee is to secure your picking order which will be given to you at the time of this partial payment being received.

The balance due to be paid in cash or other method accepted by seller, after crediting the Holding Fee amount, will be paid to the seller at the time of delivery or pick up of the puppy to the buyer. 

With the exception; if we have multiple litters at once & for the purpose of delivering multiple litters together, final payment will be expected a week prior to delivery date. 

The Holding Fee is non refundable but can be transferred to a future litter, within two years of agreement date, only if said litter does not produce color/gender of buyers agreed upon choice. If an expected litter results in no puppies, your holding fee is transferred to the following litter & you retain your place in picking order. Failure of the buyer to complete this purchase would subject seller to lost opportunities to sell the puppy to some other buyer and retention of the holding fee is meant to compensate seller for his possible loss. This Holding Fee signifies the intent on the part of the buyer to follow through with the purchase of this puppy.  

Breeding rights are available & pre-screened for approval. There is an additional cost for breeding rights of $1000. Otherwise, you will not be able breed your dog. If we find that you have bred your dog without permission, we will take legal action. Owner of dog bred without permission will pay $5,000 for breeding, & $2,500 for each puppy in a given litter, that is unauthorized to Suntini’s Goldendoodles. If you attempt to deceive us of your intention to breed your dog, prior to delivery, our contract will be voided & your holding fee retained by Suntini’s Goldendoodles for breech of contract. This is how we do our part to keep the pet population down & ensure that only those that have experience with breeding Goldendoodles are breeding our puppies with the same care & concern we do. 

PICKING 

We ask all of our families to begin making choices on which pup they want at 3-6 weeks old (with our guidance of puppy personality and needs). Suntini’s Goldendoodles will send you a detailed explanation of how to & why we do this. If a puppy isn't chosen by 6 weeks old we will match you to a puppy. 

DELIVERY OF PUPPY

The delivery of the puppy is only that of physically handing over the puppy to the buyer. We do not ship our puppies & if you choose to pick your puppy up from us there is no discount to the purchase price. We do offer accompanied delivery to other states via a Flight Nanny & there are additional costs associated with this, including; cost of round trip flight, any airline fees for puppy travel & a $400 Flight Nanny fee. 

However transporting the puppy to the buyer can be arranged if negotiated between the buyer and seller, and details of this arrangement are addressed in the other agreements section of this purchase agreement. 

For TX families; delivery from Houston to other Texas areas is not a part of the total puppy price, it is simply done as a courtesy, when possible, & only to the distances discussed with you by seller, and may vary from litter to litter. Pending your location in Texas, there may be a delivery fee. 

When we travel to surrounding cities there are designated meeting/pickup locations for TX families. We meet all our families on the same day, at the same time, & at the same location. If you cannot make the arranged date/time of TX delivery, arrangements must be made with the seller weeks prior to. 

If buyer flies to us we are closest to Houston Intercontinental Airport {no additional fee} or we can meet you at The Houston Galleria/City Centre. We do offer individual deliveries for an additional fee. If it is early morning or late evening there may be additional costs if we have to stay the night to accommodate this. 

It is recommended that the puppy pick-up take place between week six to eight from date of birth, and not to be weaned from their mom any sooner than week five, within reason to puppy’s physical development and with the discretion of the puppy litter owner. Puppies weaned naturally by their mother typically occurs by week 5, and with regards to their health, physical development, & bonding to our Special Needs Families, it is completely accepted & recommended by medical professionals assisting our Special Needs Families that they can pick up their puppy at 6 weeks old or after.

Puppy departure from whelping home into the possession of the new owner is permissible yet relative to sequential order of individual new owner puppy picks from the same puppy litter.
