Sales Conditions and Terms
My mother and I have invested years of loving care into our Pomeranians. Our puppies are socialized from birth. Our babies are happy and well-adjusted who love to play. We are inspected kennels by Missouri State, USDA, and AKC and are in complete compliance with animal care regulations, conditions, and paperwork policies. Our kennels are cleaned daily and we “spring clean” every three to four weeks. The environment is controlled in our facilities, keeping them in the 70-degree range year-round. Our babies have warm, clean blankets and toys to play with and chew on. Our Pomeranians are treated monthly for heartworms as soon as they are old enough and are wormed regularly. They are also UTD on Parvo vaccinations. Our babies also get their teeth cleaned by a vet once a year after they turn one. They are dear to our hearts and are loved and cared for consistently.
For the puppy’s first full year, we GUARANTEE our puppies to be in good health at the time of sale, free from any life-threatening congenital defects/infectious disease (ie: Heart, Kidney, Lung failure, Parvo, etc.). Everything possible has been done to keep each and every puppy/dog healthy and happy on our premises. This guarantee is valid for three days once in our buyer’s care, but they MUST have their puppy into a vet within three business days of possession to continue the health guarantee for one year’s duration. Send us the documentation as your proof.
**If the vet finds a life-threatening (congenital) condition present, you AGREE TO NOTIFY US THE SAME DAY as your initial vet visit, and we will replace your puppy with one (as soon as one is available) of equal or lesser value upon return of the original puppy, reg. papers, and written documentation and reports from the examining vet to us.
**The buyer is responsible for all shipping cost and any/all vet expenses. **If the buyer neglects to have the puppy checked by a certified veterinarian within THREE business days of arrival, ALL GUARANTEES ARE NULL AND VOID. Make sure to send a copy of your vet check as proof.
We will have the puppy examined and checked by a licensed vet for overall health. A signed health certificate will be provided within ten days of shipping.
We DO NOT GUARANTEE: the ability to breed, size, coat color or consistency, confirmation, or disposition of the puppy at maturity. (We will provide a guestimate of adult size based on the weigh chart, parents’ weights, and the history of what our dogs produce.) This health guarantee does not cover hypoglycemia, coccidiosis, giardia, allergies, respiratory infections, luxating patellas, internal/external parasites or any other nonlife-threatening conditions (ones that can be prevented OR traits that are not life threatening) once the puppy has left our care. Diseases contracted due to lack of diligence of vaccinations once they have left our care are also not covered
**Hypoglycemia (sugar shock) prevention is the responsibility of the buyer. We recommend Nutrical or similar product (Karo Syrup) to be kept on-hand (especially with Poms under two pounds at eight weeks) – In cases these products are not on hand, safe-for-dogs peanut butter mixed with honey or Karo Syrup will suffice until Nutrical can be purchased. Please read about Hypoglycemia (a page on our website).
SHOW: All dogs (even if purchased for show) are sold as pet quality. We do not guarantee the ability to show in the ring. DEWCLAWS: Most of the time, we remove dewclaws from puppies when they are three days old (unless we forget, it is not safe for the puppy, etc). We do not guarantee their removal or that they won’t grow back. We do not charge for this service, nor will we pay for it should you wish for any missed/regrown dewclaws to be removed.
BREEDING DOGS: You agree that dogs purchased from us shall only be used on other registered Pomeranians. Please buy from someone else if you wish to breed designer dogs (Pomskies, Pomchis, etc.)
If you purchase a puppy from us, you are agreeing to our policy and terms concerning our puppy contract (listed here) and guarantees! Purchase price includes available (but specified) puppy of your choice. (Once you choose your puppy, you are “locked in” to that puppy – no switching after money has been received without forfeiting the already-paid funds); AKC registration paperwork (or if Pick of Litter breeding contractual puppy, registration paperwork of different registries); vet check with health certificate signed by our vet prior to shipping; UTD worm prevention, vaccinations (EIGHT WEEK puppies will have two parvo shots at six and eight weeks, and a Bordetella – “Kennel Cough” vaccination – unless very small – then we delay shots by our vet’s recommendation), and if applicable, any medical treatment records. We also try to give prevention care before the puppy leaves our care: Giardia (Metro), Coccidia (Albon or Toltrazuril), and the babies are weaned at least one week before shipping/leaving.
Our operating business hours are 8:30 a.m. Central Standard Time to 8:30 p.m. If you need a time other than this to pick up your baby, we must be informed (and agree) in writing no later than two days before the date of pick up.
BFF and Prayer Paw Puppies assume no financial responsibility after the Pomeranian leaves the premises. This includes but is not limited to: medical expenses, landlords' disapproval, allergy to animals, mortality, disagreement of family or spouse, or any other reason except congenital birth defect causing death (in which you will receive a replacement puppy of equal or lesser value).
If, for some reason, you are unhappy with your purchase, you agree to contact the owner the contract was made with, and that you (or anyone associated with you) will not make any defamation statements about Prayer Paw Puppies, BFF Puppies, or any owner/worker/family member related to the business. (A defamatory statement is a statement that is made with the intention to harm our reputation or the reputation of our business(es).) If defamation statements are made, a lawyer will be contacted for libel or slander and for breach of this contract.
Buyer realizes in signing this that this is a Legal and Binding Document.
Buyer’s Signature:____________________________________________________________
HOLD DEPOSITS: Any animal bought from this seller will require a non-refundable deposit for a HOLD SERVICE which is applied toward the total purchase. A $250 deposit will hold a puppy up to 10 weeks of age and a $500 deposit will reserve them until 12 weeks. If you reserve for $250, you must pay another $250 at ten weeks if the full amount has not been paid. You will not receive any refunds for hold deposits.
ALL PUPPIES MUST BE AT LEAST TWO POUNDS OR 12 WEEKS AT SHIPPING/PICK UP TIMES. This is for the puppy’s health. They must also be weaned and eating hard food regularly a week prior to leaving our premises. If the puppy is to ship, we will need full cleared payment one week (minimum) in advance to the ship date. We need time to arrange the flight, take the puppy in for a health exam, etc.
* For puppies held after eleven weeks of age, we require an additional fee of $50 to pay for any required vaccinations (third Parvo and Rabies) IF they are being commercially shipped. Picked-up puppies do not have to have these shots until 16 weeks by USDA standards unless they are crossing state lines.
***ONLY IF APPROVED BY SELLER IN WRITING and there are VERY special circumstances will we hold puppies for more than 12 weeks. There is an additional charge of $20 a week beyond the first 12 weeks for puppies remaining with us. We must pay for additional worming, care, cleaning, food, and space needed. We sell puppies at eight to twelve weeks and do not plan to accommodate puppies older than this. If it is the seller’s recommendation to hold the puppy, the fees for holding puppies longer than 12 weeks ($20/week) will not be charged. The buyer is responsible for the $ $50 rabies fee (if the puppy must be shipped commercially or crosses state lines) or if the puppy is 16 weeks or older at time of pick-up. ****Your puppy must be PAID IN FULL by the time it is TEN weeks old (if you paid the $250 deposit) or by 12 weeks (if you paid the $500 deposit). If it is not paid for in full by that time, we will relist the puppy, and you WILL NOT BE REFUNDED ANY MONEYS paid for hold deposits.
*LIMITED PAPERS OR NO PAPERS CLAUSE: If we sell a puppy with “Limited Papers”, this means you do not want the dog for breeding purposes, so we will not release the papers/application and/or complete the transfer until proof of spay or neuter of sold puppy (identified below) is provided by a DVM veterinarian. We recommend at least three to four months of age (minimum of two pounds but prefer four – this is usually around 4-5 months) before sterilization for males and older for females (or as your vet recommends). If you buy a puppy with limited papers, you will not receive the application unless the spay/neuter proof is given.
--FOR BOTH LIMITED PURCHASES AND FOR PURCHASES FOR DOGS WITHOUT PAPER: If, at a later date, the buyer decides he/she’d like full papers (providing there is nothing that would make the dog unfit), the difference between limited (OR non-papered price) and full price for puppy can be paid. Then full rights application will be released to purchaser. IF an AKC application (full rights) are purchased at a later date, an additional $XX.00 will be due before the papers will be sent. IF the puppy is a very small female, a DVM vet must provide proof that the female is a minimum of 4.5 pounds before breeding rights will be given. *The buyer must also realize there could be late fee penalties that accumulate with delayed registration on the purchased puppy with the American Kennel Club.
We reserve the right to refuse any and all sales. We do not have to provide a reason.

***PUPS TO SHIP VIA AIR: These are the fees if our shipper is utilized and is sent to an airport in our program (Tuesday shipping during fall, winter, and spring). In the summer months (May through hot weather) shipping prices will vary due to temperatures. Petsafe via Delta/American are not being offered during high temperature projections, so their prices are contingent on the day of the flight’s temperatures. Please call to ask for a quote to your preferred airport. The normal price is $275 (Delta & American during fall, winter, and spring) and $400 (United). Please e-mail us for a price quote. If we CANNOT use our shipper to the specified places, shipping will be MORE - You agree to pay the cost of the flight, the cost of the crate, and cost of the vet bill - all of what it costs us. If microchipping is requested OR required, it is an additional $25.00 per puppy. *If someone other than you will be picking up the puppy from the airport, I will also need their legal name, physical address, and phone numbers for the flight information. Puppy nanny price at this time is $450 (need to double check).
ATTENTION: Due to scammers, PayPal is no longer accepted.
The following payment methods are accepted:
-Electronic transfer (Western Union), or the bank transfer app, ZELLE -CASH ONLY WITH PUPPY PICK UP
-Money order / cashier’s check- CLEARED IN ADVANCE to pup leaving/shipped -Any money sent via snail mail (postal money order or bank cashier’s check) MUST be sent certified, KEEP your receipt, and SEND me a picture BEFORE you drop it in the mail- NO PERSONAL CHECKS!
FOR PUPPIES OF small size, the shipping date will likely be at 11 or 12 weeks. (If shipped, I HIGHLY recommend a nanny, or you fly in to get her). I WILL NOT release the puppy before the stated date or until I feel she is safe to travel (eating well, etc). You need to keep food in front of her at all times to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). PLEASE keep Nutrical on hand. Shipping is always stressful and can make them go off food. Watch to make sure she eats, drink, and goes to the bathroom within a few hours of arriving in your home. Stress often causes Coccidia or Guardia to “activate”. If she begins to feel ill (off food with loose stool with or without blood), take her to the vet and get medicine to treat. It is easy to treat but does require attention. I give preventative meds, but sometimes the stress triggers it after-the-fact.

**PLEASE HAVE YOUR PUPPY VACCINATED AGAINST PARVO WHEN S/HE TURNS 12 WEEKS, 16 WEEKS, SIX MONTHS, AND THEN YEARLY (or as your veterinarian recommends) *Current vaccination records from seller will be provided with delivery of puppy.
We feed Diamond Naturals – small breed puppy (white bag with dark blue writing). You can purchase this in a feed (farm supply) store, possibly a pet store, or on-line. We recommend feeding this and mixing to the food brand you prefer to prevent more stress to your baby. Mix lighter then heavier for a couple of weeks before switching entirely. We also free feed our dogs. They always have hard food in front of them.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NuVet!!!! All of my dogs are on this wonderful product! Due to the varying kinds of food and different environmental conditions the puppies come in contact with; and the fact that all puppies have immune systems that take time to mature, we highly recommend NuVet Plus® immune system builder to help them maintain optimal health. NuVet Plus is America’s premier pet immune system support supplement incorporating a precise formula of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbs an antioxidant that perform synergistically to bring together all of the vital ingredients required to maintain optimal health. NuVet Plus is made in the USA using natural, human grade ingredients that are formulated in an FDA registered pharmaceutical laboratory. Veterinarian recommended, NuVet Plus was designed for dogs at every life stage; from supporting a puppy’s maturing immune system to helping to protect against issues later in life including, allergies, itching/scratching, hot spots, arthritis, digestive issues, tear staining, hair loss and more! NuVet also boosts immune systems and is great to feed in higher potency (double dose) a few weeks before and after any surgeries (spay/neuter/surgery/teeth cleaning/ etc.).
For your convenience you may order by phone by calling 800-474-7044, using order code 91698 or online at www.nuvet.com/91698 . NuVet products are not sold in stores. Customers outside the U.S. must place order by phone only.
*Please print, read, and initial each page by hand. Be sure to sign the last two pages (also by hand) and return (snail mail or take a picture – make sure the picture shows the entire page including the initials at the bottom and send as an attachment via e-mail) the entire contract by 1/30/20 to the breeder. We MUST receive your contract before your puppy can be shipped/picked up. Puppies with no contract will be relisted with no refund of deposit (even if paid with full amount). Too many people back out, and we are left with a puppy to sell going into their uglies.
