Reservations |
| If
you are interested in the purchase of a puppy you can make a reservation
via email, phone or fax. The reservation requires: |
- Grade preference,
pet or breeding
- Gender preference,
male or female
- A brief
description of the activity level desired in your new companion.
|
| The
latter requirement is designed to help us make the proper placement
of the puppy. Puppies have different activity levels and, as breeders,
we make a serious attempt to match your lifestyle with that of the
puppy. Also, there should be no doubt in your mind, or ours, that
you are able to properly care for your new companion. |
| In addition, to prioritize the puppies' best interest, we prefer to
place our puppies within a climate where he/she would have the
opportunity to experience a seasonal cold, snowy winter environment.
The Bernese Mountain Dog breed is heat sensitive and this factor is
especially true of our puppies here at Nineveh because they are only one
generation removed from Switzerland. |
| Upon receipt
of the reservation, we establish a chronological list of inquirers.
When a litter becomes available, at around the fifth week of the litter's
age, we begin to make contacts with inquirers regarding their continued
interest. |
| |
Placement |
| When
the reservation requirements match that of an available puppy, the
process begins for the acquisition of the puppy. At this time you
may make an appointment to visit the litter and the sire and dam.
If a puppy is selected, a deposit will be required. Payment in full
is required prior to the transfer of ownership and the AKC owner registration
papers.
|
| |
Shipping |
| Airline shipping may be available depending on the season of the year
and acceptable temperature ranges approved for flight. Shipping costs
include, but may not be limited to, a direct, non-stop flight airline
ticket, an aviation approved shipping crate, a veterinarian prepared
health certificate and the breeder's time and/or mileage involved in
travel arrangements. Shipping costs incurred are above and beyond the
puppy's value and are the responsibility of the new owner.

Guarantee |
|
Because Switzerland has strict breeding standards and health clearances,
we are confident in the genetic health of the puppies we place. None
the less, we guarantee that your puppy will not have severe hip
dysplasia as a result of genetic defect by the age of 24 months.
