Registration Papers
All puppies sold by Premier Pups are puppies that we sell on behalf of the breeder. At times there will be instances where we do not receive registration papers upon puppy acquisition, however, 99% of the time we do have the registration papers within 14 days. We will work with the breeder to provide the registration papers if the puppy is advertised with papers as quickly as possible. Please email [email protected] or call 740-809-4141 if you do not receive your purebred registration papers within 30 days of your puppies arrival.
Premier Pups has no affiliation with AKC, ACA, NPCR or CKC and take no responsibility for their actions or lack thereof.
Refunds
All refunds will be processed within 15 days of request and can take up to 10 days to post to your financial institution. Again, there will be no refunds for vet bills, pet returns, or shipping charges, as all sales are final and we only offer a replacement puppy per our warranty.
Adult Size & Weight Estimates
We are providing estimated adult weights on all our dogs based on parents' size, breed history, litter size and age at 8 weeks. Please understand that when you are purchasing a mix breed dog, especially one between a larger breed and a smaller breed, the puppy has the possibility to take heavily after one parent. Sometimes when the puppy reaches adult size it may be smaller or larger than the estimates provided. If weight and size is a major concern, please stick with a small breed dog.
Hereditary And Congenital Disorders
Please understand that all puppies sold by Premier Pups have been checked for the above disorders prior to leaving our facility. On top of the puppies being checked by the vet, the parents of the puppies have been checked to be free and clear of any disorders. By purchasing a small breed puppy you are putting yourself at risk for disorders such as knee failure, hip failure, and liver failure. Though this risk is minimal, we do want you to understand that small breed puppies can have disorders due to their small make-up. For this reason we provide a Health Gaurantee and offer pet insurance.
