Lake Ridge Border Collie Polices
We reserve the right to refuse the sale of a puppy to anyone We feel may put the puppy's health at risk.
Genetic Disease:
We guarantee that no puppy produced by us will ever be affected by a genetic disease! We always genetic test our dogs the moment we bring them home or even days after being born by their breeder! We will genetic test our dogs even if "Parentage" Says they are full panel clear! We will NEVER breed Two Merle's together! Two Merle's can create what is known as a Double Merle. A double Merle can be Blind, Deaf, and have many health complications! If your interested in breeding, please put the life quality of any future puppies before the desire to breed.
Placing a Deposit:
Deposit's are non-refundable, and go towards the price of the puppy. If puppy buyer changes mind, the deposit can be transferred to another litter. Deposit expire 1 year after deposits are made. Deposits are $500 to hold the puppy of your choosing. All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE and go towards the price of the puppy. Deposits can be transferred to another litter up to 1 year. Once deposit is placed on a specific puppy, deposit is no longer transferrable to another puppy or litter unless agreed upon by breeder. Deposits can be paid through Venmo, Paypal, Cash in person, and or Good Dog. All listed prices are for limited AKC registration unless otherwise states. Breeding rights are an additional fee.
Deposits can be placed directly on a litter or planned litter. We normally ask not to place deposits till puppies are born. The reason behind this is to assure the puppy buyer's ideal puppy is in the litter.
Deposits can be placed by using the "Buy It Now" button at the bottom of the page, money order, checks, paying in person, or we can send you an invoice to your email. We allow puppy buyers to pick their puppies in the order we receive deposits.

Puppy Pick-Up:

Cancelling your puppy will not refund the deposit. The deposit can be transferred on a future litter for up to 1 year unless the deposit was placed on a specific puppy.
Re-Homing:
All our puppies come with a promise! That promise is for any reason they Puppy Buyer can not keep their puppy bought from us, we will kindly take the puppy back! We will not judge or question why! All puppy buyers are required to sign a contract stating that the puppy buyer agrees, should he/she ever decide to part with one of our puppies, that the seller will be contacted and have first rights to get the dog back.
