We do not take deposits on pups that are not born yet.
We do not take any deposits until we have fully screened our potential puppy parents and made sure they are a good match for one of our puppies.
PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A DEPOSIT UNTIL YOU HAVE FILLED OUT OUR APPLICATION AND WE HAVE CONTACTED YOU.
We require a $300 deposit to hold a pup. The balance is due before shipping or at pickup.
This deposit is simply to make sure you are actually interested and willing to wait on this puppy. This deposit IS NOT refundable if you change your mind. If you decide now isnt the right time to add a pup, we can move this to another litter, but the initial deposit is non-refundable UNLESS we cannot provide the pup to you for medical reasons.
We put a lot of time, thought and work into raising our pups, and we want to make sure that the people getting them have put the same time, thought and work into welcoming them into their home.
We have found that people put more thought into whether or not they truly want a pup if they know the deposits are non refundable if they change their mind.
Contrary to what a lot of people think about breeders, we are not rolling in money!!!!! When we get a deposit, more than likely it goes immediately to pay for vet bills, dog food, etc. Most times, we are supplementing breeding our dogs with money from our "real" jobs!!! (Yes we both work other jobs)
Breeding dogs (or I SHOULD say, breeding dogs the right way) is a very expensive hobby, but we LOVE it!
It seems that what happens A LOT of the time is that a prospective puppy parent will put a deposit down and then find an older puppy they can get sooner, and want their deposit back. This is particularly disturbing to us, since it seems to imply that just "any old puppy" will do, and that the new family has put little or no thought into their choice of a breeder. Your choice of breeder SHOULD be the most important decision involving your puppy, NOT whoever you can obtain a puppy from the quickest.
Your breeder SHOULD be your resource for information, feedback, help and suggestions concerning your Newf pup for the remainder of your Newf's life. This is not something to take lightly. We spend hours on the phone with people who purchased their Newfs from less than reputable breeders. They have problems, and their breeder either cant answer their questions, or wont return their phone calls. We give these people the info they need for the sake of their Newf, but if they had made a better decision on their breeder, they would be calling them instead of us.
So, before you place a deposit with us, PLEASE be sure you have thought it through and made sure that you want this puppy, are willing to wait until it is ready to come to your home.
Also make sure you are comfortable with Cedar Valley Newfoundlands as your lifelong resource for information, tips and suggestions concerning your Newf.
