Deposits / Payments / Shipping

Puppies are reserved and held with a deposit. Deposits are $300.00. Deposits can be paid with money orders, cashier’s checks, personal checks or with a major Credit Card through Pay Pal. Once Joyful Acres receives the deposit the puppy will be marked and considered sold. Due to the prevalence of check fraud the balance on your puppy is due by the time puppy is six weeks old. This gives us time for the check to clear our bank.

Choice of puppy is determined on a first come (deposit received) first choose basis, once the pup is put up for sale on the PUPPIES page. Puppy will be placed “hold” for three business days, while waiting for a deposit. If deposit is not received in that time, the puppy will be placed back up for sale.  Those people signed up for the News Letter, will have first choice at seeing and buying Joyful Acres puppies. 

Monies are NON REFUNDABLE, in other words we DO NOT refund any money. Except in cases of premature death, prior to the delivery of your puppy to you. If you change your mind and do not want the puppy you paid on or cannot take your puppy, YOU FORFEIT ANY MONEY ALREADY PAID.  Mitigating circumstances are always taken into account, however for the most part we do not transfer or refund monies.  Please think before you pay.

Shipping for puppies twenty pounds and under at this time is $250.00. This is an all inclusive shipping cost.  We ship by ground, using a pet transporter.  The fee will include a vet check and actual shipping costs.  We have found that ground shipping is the best way for our pups to be delivered.  We use a veteran shipper who does an amazing job and brings your puppy right to your door, it is a door to door service!  The puppy may take up to five days or as little as one day to arrive to you, from the time the ground shipper picks up the pup from us. 

Buyer will pick up puppy by time it is eight weeks old, or the puppy will be shipped by the time it is eight weeks old. There will be a $35.00 per week boarding charge, plus any other expenses if buyer is not able to pick up puppy. Two weeks or more with no attempts to make up arrangements or attempts to make plans with Joyful Acres, the buyer then forfeits the puppy and any deposits or payments made on puppy, unless other arrangements are made with Joyful Acres.

Your Joyful Acres Puppy is Guaranteed as Follows:

Your puppy is guaranteed to be free from any genetic / hereditary defects that cause death or serious impairment of vital functions in the puppy, until said puppy is two years of age. For this guarantee to be valid we require documentation from a licensed veterinarian of the problem.  If your puppy prematurely dies, we require some sort of diagnosis or cause of death, documented by a licensed veterinarian to prove the cause of death.  If you do not have this documentation the pup will NOT be covered.  We reserve the right to a second vet opinion.  Any problems associated with hips will not be covered at all until the puppy is at least 18 months old. Hips will then be covered until said puppy is 24 months old. If an inheritable defect is documented by a Veterinarian and presented to the seller with sufficient supporting evidence, the buyer will be entitled to a replacement puppy.  If Joyful Acres agrees to replace a puppy, the buyer will be credited with the purchase price they paid for their puppy.  They will be permitted to apply the purchase price to any puppy that they like that is for sale.  If they desire a puppy that is priced more than the purchase price of their original puppy, the buyer will have to pay the balance.  We do NOT refund monies at any time.  Joyful Acres will not cover shipping costs on puppies. If your dog has been used in any canine sports (i.e. weight pulling, protection work etc.) or a breeding program or has been bred, this guarantee is null and void.

 Puppies are at risk for Coccidia and Giardia (bloody stools) which is often brought on by the stress of shipping, a new home, new food, new people, change of climate or surroundings, etc. Puppies shipped also seem more prone to have bouts with Coccidia or Giardia. Another thing that may show up with shipping and/or the stress of moving and a new home is Kennel Cough (Bordatella - a raspy cough may be signs of this) which is common in dogs that are shipped and is usually caused by bacteria. Kennel cough is self limiting and like the common cold, it must run its course. Full recovery is expected and kennel cough, Coccidia or Giardia on their own are not life threatening. All puppies are treated and vaccinated for Coccidiosis, Giardia and Kennel Cough, before they leave. However, you need to be aware that these things can arise and that they are usually not serious (even though seeing blood in the stool appears serious) and are easily treated. WE WILL NOT AND DO NOT COVER THE TREATMENT FOR THE ABOVE LISTED ISSUES.

 

 

Puppy will be current on wormings and shots and will have received vaccinations and wormings depending on age. No replacements will be given in case of Parvo.

If your dog is used in any sort of illegal activity (i.e. dog fighting), or in any canine sports (i.e. weight pulling), or is mistreated, malnourished, abused or not taken care of, the guarantee is completely null and void.

It is understood that at the time of this sale the puppy is not considered to be of show quality or breeding quality. But it is represented as its breed and is suited as pet quality only.

This guarantee does not cover what in the Bulldogge breed some may consider normal or beyond our control : i.e. Cherry eyes, entropian, “loose” hips, stenotic nares (loud sounding or “sniffing” sound when breathing). We cannot guarantee that the dog will not contract mange.  Mange is a multifunctional genetic disease that can be transmitted in a recessive manner.  There is much dispute between experts as to the differing specific causes of mange, including environment, stress and nutrition.  Therefore we cannot guarantee against it.  We are not geneticists and cannot predict genetic problems.  Many believe that diet, stress and surroundings play the biggest part in mange and we have no way of ensuring that a buyer is taking proper care of the dog.  We do not breed dogs with undesirable conditions such as mange, but we cannot guarantee that previous generations did not have these conditions in their lines, unbeknownst to us. 

There is no guarantee or warranty that the buyer will be able to breed or show the dog purchased regardless of show or breeding potential.

This guarantee is not transferable from the original purchaser.

General Information – Every line of dogs havs some issues common to their breed. The Olde English Bulldogs is a recreation of the Bulldogges of Olde and one of the reasons it was created was for the purposes of eliminating many of the established health problems that the English Bulldog has, which it has done. However the dog is still a Bulldog and some problems may arise that are directly related to what we find most desirable about the breed. The flatter face, rolling gait, short tail and big chest for instance. Do all the research that you can, understand and accept that when you purchase a dog you may have to deal with some issues. Stress- one must understand that it is stressful for any puppy to leave it’s home and littermates or playmates. Like you, a pup under stress, is more susceptible to illness. His immune system is compromised while under stress. There are millions of bacteria, fungi and depending on environment, viruses all over. If pup comes into contact with these while he is stressed, he will be less able to fight it off. Be very considerate of this factor, keep the pup quiet and wait until he knows you and is over his stressful time to expose him to new and exciting (and usually germ and virus’ friendly) atmospheres. Like going to Petco to choose a new bone, or inviting all your family and friends over to see him. Give him time and keep him away from stress as much as possible the first 10 days or so. Hold him in your lap at the Vet. Like Hospitals, where there are sick people all over, vet offices see sick dogs nearly every day. It may take him a few days of rest to be himself. This is normal. We suggest that you do not expose your new puppy to new things until you have had him for 2 weeks. Keep him in your yard, hold him if you cannot. He is a baby just like a human baby. You know how they catch every cold around? It is because they are new to the world and their immune system needs to be exposed to things to become strong, same thing with baby puppies. Pups are current on their vaccinations including – hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvo and bordetella when they leave Joyful Acres. You will need to give several more when the pup gets a bit older. Speak with your vet about what is appropriate for your area. The incubation period on Parvo is 2-10 days. Just because a puppy is current on vaccinations, this does not mean he is immune. You will be given a Puppy Health Form with your dog. This will detail what vaccinations and wormings he has had and when. All of the dogs here at Joyful Acres are on a comprehensive health program that was compiled with the help of long time breeders and our Veterinarian. You are purchasing a “Bulldog” as the name implies, they can be very determined. Please consider getting some professional training with your puppy when he is younger, you will be thankful you did, when he is older. There is nothing like the love of a Bulldog!
