Purchase & Deposit Policy

• Reservation Deposit: A non-refundable deposit (amount to be determined by Flying S Aussies based on the puppy/litter, unless other arrangements are approved in writing) is required to reserve your puppy. This deposit applies directly toward your puppy's total purchase price.

• Payment Timing: Deposits are due immediately upon selection of your puppy; until received, the puppy remains available to other prospective families. Full payment (100% of the balance) is required prior to pick-up, delivery, or shipping.

• Accepted Payment Methods: We accept cash, money order, PayPal (flyingsminiaussie@gmail.com), and Cash App. Buyers are responsible for covering any transaction or processing fees associated with digital payment apps.

• What’s Included: Every puppy goes home with a licensed veterinary wellness exam, health and vaccination record, microchip, first DHPP vaccination (at 7 weeks), scheduled deworming (at 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 weeks), heartworm preventative (at 8 weeks), and a puppy starter pack. For AKC-registrable puppies, Flying S Aussies covers AKC registration (once you provide a registered name starting with "Flying S") along with 30 days of complimentary AKC pet insurance.

 

Pick-Up, Boarding & Shipping

• 8-Week Release: Puppies are ready for their new homes at 8 weeks of age—no exceptions.

• Boarding Fees: If pick-up or delivery cannot be completed at 8 weeks of age, a boarding fee of $10.00 per day applies, plus any veterinary expenses incurred to keep your puppy current on vaccinations and preventatives.

• Shipping & Transportation: Ground transport or flight nanny/shipping arrangements are available at the buyer’s expense, including a veterinary travel health certificate if required (approximately $40.00). All shipping arrangements and fees must be paid in full before the puppy reaches 7 weeks of age.

 

Dew Claws & Tail Docking

• All puppies have their dew claws removed and tails docked by 3 days of age.

• If you wish to leave your puppy's tail natural (undocked), you must notify us by 2 days of age and pay for the puppy in full at that time (no refunds apply if you later cancel your purchase).

 

Health & Genetic Guarantee

• 72-Hour Veterinary Exam & 3-Day Health Guarantee: We guarantee that your puppy is healthy and free from serious infectious disease at the time of transfer. Buyers are required to have their puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of pick-up/delivery. If a pre-existing infectious disease is verified in writing by two independent licensed veterinarians within 3 days, the puppy may be returned for a full refund.

• One-Year Genetic Defect Guarantee: We guarantee your puppy against life-threatening or debilitating congenital/hereditary defects for one (1) year from birth (verified by two independent licensed veterinarians). If a qualifying genetic defect occurs, Flying S Aussies will replace the puppy with a puppy of comparable quality from our next available litter upon return of the dog and registration papers (cash refunds are not available).

• Ongoing Care: Buyers must complete their puppy's remaining booster series, rabies vaccine, and routine preventatives according to their veterinarian's recommended schedule to keep health guarantees valid.

 

Pet vs. Breeding Rights

• Pet-Only Homes: Puppies sold as pets require a signed Spay/Neuter Agreement; registration papers are released once veterinary proof of sterilization is provided.

• Breeding Homes: Puppies sold with full breeding rights may only be bred to purebred Australian Shepherds and not before 18 months of age (2 years recommended). Litters may never be sold to pet shops, brokers, or commercial outlets.

• Kennel Prefix: All registered names must begin with "Flying S".

Note: Pricing, policies, and terms are subject to change without notice prior to a signed Contract and Bill of Sale.
