This agreement, dated as of ____________________ (Date), is between Samantha Hopkins (Breeder), and ____________________ (Buyer). Buyer agrees to place a $500 deposit on a Bernedoodle (Breed) puppy from Breeder.

 

  1. Non-Refundable Reservation. Buyer acknowledges that the reservation fee is non-refundable in all circumstances, including but not limited to if Buyer decides s/he does not want or is no longer able to take the puppy. Upon receipt of the reservation fee, Breeder agrees to hold the puppy for Buyer until it has been weaned and is ready for pick up at 8 weeks old. The reservation fee shall be made in US Dollars and paid to Breeder via payments through Zelle or Cash or on our Good Dog account. 

*Zelle can be sent to 843-708-3035 under Samantha Hopkins

A spot or puppy is not reserved until your reservation fee and form has been received.

  1. Buyer Acknowledgements. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that Breeder cannot control litter sizes and that the wait time for puppies can be longer than expected; the reservation fee gives Buyer a “pick” place, but does not guarantee that Buyer’s preferences will be available when it is Buyer’s turn to pick; pick places are given on a first-come first served basis and Buyer’s place in line is not negotiable; and Breeder cannot and does not guarantee any specific qualities of the puppy when it becomes an adult. Picks need to be done by the 3rd week of life. However, if we plan to keep a puppy back for our program Breeder may elect to push puppy picks out to the 4th or 5th week

  2. When a litter is born, we will reach out to the amount of families per puppy. You will have 24 hours to respond if you would like to be added to that litter. If you decide to pass on that specific litter when your turn comes up, that’s absolutely find and you will remain on the master waitlist for future litters. However, if you later decide you’d like to a puppy from that same litter’s list your name will go to the bottom of the list for that litter, after families  who committed earlier.

  3.  We will schedule a time for either an in person or facetime 30 minute visit, puppy will be chosen before your leave. If we do not hear from you in that time frame, you forfeit your spot on the waitlist and will be contacted once the other families have chosen their puppies. This is done in fairness to all the other families on the list who are patiently waiting to choose their puppy. Buyer  agrees this puppy is being sold on a STRICT spay and neuter contract acknowledged and agreed to the terms in our contract.

  4. Buyer’s Right to Transfer/Refund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a puppy that meets Buyer’s identified preferences is not available when it becomes Buyer’s turn to pick a puppy from the selected litter, Buyer may elect to have the reservation fee transferred for 1 year from the signed date. After 1 year Buyer understands they will be marked inactive, until Buyer decides to be added back on the waitlist. Buyer understands they will be added to the bottom of the waitlist to wait their turn.

  5. Final Purchase Price. Breeder and Buyer agree that the remaining balance will become due before the puppy is shipped and/or ownership is transferred from Breeder to Buyer. The reservation fee goes towards the final purchase price. The foregoing purchase price does not include any delivery or shipping charges.

  6.  Governing Law. This Agreement, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
