3. The Reservation deposit would only be refunded in the case that something would happen to the puppy and a

replacement puppy was not available in the near future (within 18 months), but not if you would change your mind, change your plans, have a change of circumstances, etc. If you make a reservation deposit on more than one puppy and later decide you only want one puppy, the reservation deposit for the other puppy will Not be refunded or credited. If you make a reservation deposit or additional payments on a puppy and switch to another puppy, deposit and payments will not be refunded but will be credited to the other puppy. So, please think through your decision to add a new puppy or puppies to your family!

To avoid the CCard fee you can make the final payment by Bank Wire Transfer.

PAYMENT PLANS

1. Contact me in writing with your full name, address, email, phone number, and request to join our payment plan, along with the amounts and proposed schedule of payments.

If you are having your puppy delivered, you should include those costs in your proposed payment plan. See below for transport options:

GETTING YOUR PUPPY or DELIVERY

1. There are several options to getting your puppy including arranging a time with me to pick your puppy up, flying in (Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport), renting a car to pick your puppy up from Hinckley, MN, and taking the puppy back as carry-on (most airlines charge around $150 one way), Flight Nanny to your airport, or Delivery by trip by ground (car/van trip for one or all the puppies going in the same direction), Delivery by car/van is typically $650 - $1250 per puppy including booking and insurance (possibly less if you live within a few hundred miles from us.) We reserve the right to deliver the puppy by the method we feel is the safest and most economical. Booking Service fee applies. I am not able to meet you at the airport, but if needed we can hire a courier. Cost is typically in the $350 range.

2. In only very rare circumstances would we send a puppy by air. An air nanny with travel in the cabin is a better option. Cost varies but may be approximately $1,200- $1,500 + total.

2a. Tickets are typically $450-$650, plus fees and expenses subject to change with airline rates. (To save on expenses you may want to coordinate with another person in your area getting a puppy as 2 puppies can be travel together in the same crate.) If flying cargo, Airlines require that temperatures must be between 10 degrees and 85 degrees Farenheit in all departure and arrival cities (including any layover or transfer cities). When flying a puppy, planning, patience and flexability are very important due to weather and flight conditions. The health and safety of the puppy is of primary importance. We will not ship to a country that requires a quaranteen period.

2b. Courier fees to the airport, cost of health papers, travel kennel, travel supplies, and processing fees are in addition to the airline ticket and at your expense. Average has been $500. Prices are subject to change.

2c. Puppies can also be taken on board as carryon luggage with an approved soft-sided kennel (for most airlines total weight of puppy and kennel cannot exceed 20 to 22 pounds depending on the airline. Some airlines allow for up to 40 pounds.) Puppies typically weigh 13-22 pounds at 8 weeks old. Do online reserch for your airline's pet policy prior to Contacting your airline for details on traveling with a pet. Some airlines request that any dog traveling as carry on be 10 weeks or older but do not require a health certificate documenting age. Due to some airline restrictions, we also recommend you list the puppy as a lab-mix. If you need delivery to the airport - Courier fee applies to each trip as we are 1.5 hours from the Minneapolis/St.Paul Airport.

4. We can also deliver your puppy by ground transport directly from our location to yours. Cost for travel will be dependent on service, time, route and miles (rates vary typically between $350-$1500 per puppy. Puppies get to travel together with drivers who take excellent care of the puppies and deliver right to your door.) Health certificate; plus cost of crate if wanted are additional cost.

4b. Once the puppies are 8 weeks old (or older if you reserve your puppy after they turn 8 weeks old) (or at a later date if you have arranged to board your puppy with us), You Agree to be AVAILABLE and VERY flexible for Delivery. We do our best to be accommodating, but in order to get discounted delivery rates, flexibility and availabilty on your part are key. The safety of the puppies and our driver are our top priority. (A dedicated trip for just your puppy on your schedule would typically cost $2,500 or more.)

4c. Scheduling dates are approximate and vary, often due to factors beyond our control such as traffic, road construction, weather, breakdowns, rest and sleep breaks, driver schedule, and extra stops needed when traveling with puppies. We prefer to avoid late night and very early morning deliveries, however due to travel schedule, there are times that may have to happen, and you agree to be flexible, agreeable, and accommodating.

4d. If you do not let us know of any specific dates that you are not available at the time you request or pay for delivery, you will need to be available or make arrangements to have someone available to receive the puppy on any day. If the puppy arrives for delivery and no one is available to take delivery boarding rates of $150 per day apply. If the driver needs to leave the area for other deliveries and has to come back, an additional delivery fee will apply. If you do not contact us within 3 days of our first attempted delivery, you will forfeit the puppy, and all moneys paid.

4e, Delivery quotes are based on the address in your application and payment. We need to know as soon as possible so that we can plan a delivery route, which may include other puppies. If you change your delivery location, extra delivery fees will apply, and are due before you will be given possession of the puppy. If for any reason the puppy is returned, additional delivery fees may apply.

BOARDING FEES

1. If for any reason you need us to keep the puppy beyond 8 weeks of age, cost of board is $25 per day through the date of actual delivery or the day you pick your pup up. The puppies are dewormed on a regular basis. The puppies have their first Parvo Shots but do not have their first 5 way shots unless required for travel as puppies are at greater risk of having adverse reactions to combined vaccines at younger ages. (Please read the info and articles linked on our Health and Care page for more info)

CHOOSING AND WAITING FOR YOUR PUPPY

1. We will post pictures and info on each puppy. To Reserve your Puppy, Submit an Application, once accepted Click on the Reserve Button for that Puppy and follow the prompts for payment from there. If you would rather make payment through paypal use the Paypal Button below. In the event that 2 reservations are received for the same puppy. The Person whose money I receive first will have first pick.

2. Each puppy will have a color collar ribbon & temporay name. You are welcome to either keep the name or change it. Regular Photos (approximately every 2 weeks until pups are 6 weeks old and occasional group videos thereafter) and/or occassional group video will be posted on the facebook puppy photo album or the MastadorPuppies facebook page or our Instagram. If you would like to request an additional photo or video shoot, you can do so from the link on the Available Puppy page. All requests for additional photos or video must be accompanied by payment. Photos and video may be used by you and your immediate family for your personal use only.

3. The puppies are raised in my home, under close eye and with lots of enrichment activities, socialization, love and attention. Puppies are started on puppy mash and wood shavings potty training at 3 weeks old and progress from there. I will not send a puppy for delivery if I feel it is not healthy. I guarantee the puppy will be in good health at the time of delivery. If having your puppy delivered, you assume the risk of delivery/shipping and it is up to you to purchase insurance to cover that risk.

4. We do not allow the pups to be released until they are eight weeks old. Studies have shown that staying with their Mom and siblings until 8 weeks old is important for both health and socialization.

You will receive a Birth Certificate and Health Record of the Exam and Worming schedule.

FEEDING YOUR PUPPY

1. Your puppy should be fed high quality LA All Life Stages Food

- FREE CHOICE or 4 TIMES a day as much as they want to eat.

- at Six months to 2 years old - 3 times a day.

- Once they stop growing 2x a day.

- Mastadors can continue to grow for several years. Slow and steady growth is ideal.

2. As an adult expect that your Mastador will eat 2-3 cups 2x a day (which adds up to around 45-60 pounds of food a month if feeding dry food). That will vary depending on what food you are feeding, and the weight and activity level of your dog.

3. Our puppies have access to dry food 24 hours a day. We also feed puppy mash 3x a day.

We are transitioning to
