The process of purchasing a puppy from Double G Kennels
What is the process of picking a puppy? The order of
purchasing a pup is on a first-come-first-serve basis. Your name will be put on
a list when we receive your $125 deposit. Your name is placed on the list of
the type of puppy you want (breed and gender).
Pictures of the puppies
Taking pictures of all our puppies takes a lot of time
and we strive to spend most of our time making sure you have a healthy, happy,
well socialized puppy. We are more than
happy to provide current pictures of your pup of choice at time of
purchase/deposit. We will also provide
pictures of the puppies to you on the 4th week and the 6th week. They will be
ready to go home to you at 8 weeks of age.
When can we see the pups? Starting at 4 weeks of age and after. We will not make any exceptions to see them
earlier. This is for the health of our puppies. We like to schedule pick up
days on Saturdays. If this does not work
for you, please call us . We will not schedule pick ups or showings on Sundays.
Please also no phone calls on Sundays. Call or message Monday through Saturday
during the day.

Deposits are $125 nonrefundable. As soon as we receive
the deposit you’re put on a certain litter list, or if you have picked out a
certain puppy, that pup is reserved for you. If we don’t produce your pup,
you’re put on a different litter list of your choice. If you change your mind
and decide not to get a pup the deposit is nonrefundable. If we don’t produce
the pup you requested you can apply it to a different litter.
Pricing of the pups
The price for our dogs may vary depending on breed. We
will post prices with the pictures of our puppies for sale. There will be Iowa
sales tax applied to the purchase price of the pup if you pick the pup up in
the state of Iowa. I don’t like this but it is the Iowa state law and I have to
obey the state laws. No exceptions. For example if the purchase price of a pup
is $800 x 7%=$856 will be the final price. In Iowa as a breeder of dogs the
buyer has to pay a sales tax if the pup is picked up in Iowa. Also, we accept
cash and credit card. We will accept a check if it is written 10 days before
the pup is to go home with you.
What is the cost of shipping puppies? The cost for
shipping the puppy will be the customer’s responsibility at $450 for the total
cost. No hidden fees as this will cover the Vet Health Certificate bill,
transportation to airport, airline ticket, kennel/crate and mat, and food. We
will arrange the flight for the puppy. We use United Airlines for our Toy Breed
puppies as they provide the best service out of Des Moines, IA. We have had a
100% success.
Microchip and APR registration: You will have a choice as
to have your puppy micro-chipped with a lifetime activation for a fee of
$25. Our pure bred puppies can be APRI
litter registered for a fee of $25. Our mixed breed and designer pups can be
litter registered with the ACH Club for a fee of $25.
