Spay/Neuter Agreement
*
You Must check all boxes below for your application to be accepted.
I understand that this puppy is not to be bred and is required to be spayed/neutered (unless stated in the puppy agreement I sign), and I am subject to significant fines and other damages as stated in the contract if not spayed/neutered and/or bred.
I understand that the contract requires spay/neuter by 18 months of age, no exceptions.
Puppy Socialization
*
I understand that you provide a good start for my puppy but that I will need to continue socializing my puppy once in my care. I understand that unsocialized puppies can be scared of strange people, children, car rides, other dogs and puppies, vets, groomers, different places and environments and may be subject to behavioral issues as a result of lack of socialization.

If you have a specific litter or puppy in mind, please specify. If not, please skip this question.
Timing for a puppy
*
Although we ask if you have a preferred litter, please know we cannot guarantee timing on a puppy. We operate via a master waiting list vs a litter list for many reasons. We do not know how many puppies or what genders we are expecting until the litter arrives. Therefore, we do not know which litter will reach your name until the litter arrives and we know what we have. It is hard to put applications into litter lists when the litter does not yet exist! We are also in the hands of Mother Nature and can miss the pregnancy. If we miss a pregnancy or if your name is not reached for your preferred litter your application will move to the next litter in your size range that does. Please type “I understand”
Managing Puppyhood
*
Puppies often have a lot of energy and can chew, dig, bark, soil the house, and cry at night. They can play roughly and scratch your skin with teeth and nails, they can get sick on floors, furniture, and in cars. Please tell us your patience level and how you might deal with the challenges of puppyhood.

Describe your ideal dog
*
PLEASE be as specific as possible. We are looking for adjectives that describe the temperament you are looking for. You can also include activities that you do on a regular basis and information on your family or home that you think would be relevant to a puppy. NOTE: There is no such thing as a "calm" puppy. Puppies by nature are high energy. It typically takes about 2 years for Australian Shepherds to mellow and for their puppy energy level to go down.
Will you pick up your puppy or need it shipped?
*
If you are not within a reasonable drive, you will need to fly into our airport (Manchester - MHT) or (Boston - BOS), rent a car and pick up OR hire a flight nanny to bring your puppy to your local airport. We do NOT ship puppies in cargo.
Pick up
Delivered via car (Fees apply)

Puppy Pick up
*
Since we are set up for litters and not for individual puppies, all puppies must be picked up on the day they turn 8 weeks old. If you are using the training service, the trainer will pick up your puppy. If you are using a delivery service, the delivery will either be on the day they turn 8 weeks old or the day before. Unless agreed upon otherwise.
I will arrange my schedule to pick up on the day the litter is due to go home.

Please read and agree to the following by checking the boxes before moving forward. All the boxes must be selected below for your application to be accepted.
I understand the application fee and any other future deposits are non-refundable, but are transferable to a future litter if the need arises.
I understand Painted Pup Australian Shepherds cannot guarantee timing on a puppy.
I understand that I am getting a puppy and that no matter how well prepared and trained my puppy is, it is still a baby and I should expect my puppy to have accidents in the house and crate, to cry and bark, to nip and bite, and to require a great deal of patience and attention. I understand that these are NORMAL puppy behaviors and that I expect them to happen.
I understand that while you provide a good start for my puppy, I need to learn how to train and maintain my dog's training and that may require the assistance of a dog trainer or behaviorist.
I agree to purchase at least a 30 day supply of the food my puppy was raised on.
