Reserving A New Puppy

  

  • ~~~~ If you'd like to RESERVE a  new puppy from Wingshot Kennel  ~~~~

We want to know where our pups go and what type of home/lifestyle they will have,   so  if you decide you'd like to place a deposit for a Wingshot puppy we ask that you share your personal information with us.    We are not trying to be nosey, but these breeds are not a match for every home.   We do not accept a deposit without knowing information about the new owner...example:  home/family info (work or school, children, current pets, fenced yard, etc), outdoor activities, plans for the puppy, your experience with raising a new puppy, how you know of the breed, etc.   I do not use an "application",  just tell us your info in an email .

  **PLEASE  NOTE:  THESE  ARE  NOT  BREEDS  THAT  SHOULD  BE  LEFT  IN  A  CRATE  ALL  DAY  WHILE  THE  FAMILY  IS  AT WORK/SCHOOL ** 


  • GETTING YOUR PUPPY 


PICK UP AT OUR HOME:  

New puppies are usually ready for new homes on the weekend immediately after the day they  are 7 weeks old.   We refer to this   as "puppy day" .  We schedule each new puppy parent a  time to come  in the same order as their puppy reservation number.  We try to make this day pleasant for everyone so  we ask that you clear your calendar for this day.   The puppy selections/ placements are made on this day.  We do not require new parents to make their puppy selection  before puppy day unless prior plans prevent you from being here on puppy day.  In that case, new parents would "rate" the puppies  #1 thru  your reservation number.   If you are reserving the "last puppy", we do not know which specific puppy it will be .... until puppy day.   We understand that something may come up  to prevent you from being here on  puppy day , however, we  charge an extra $50  to hold your puppy past puppy day ( unless you are flying, which will be at 8 weeks old ).  In all cases, your new puppy needs to be in your home  by 9 weeks old.   When  puppies leave  us they  suddenly have to get familiar with not seeing, playing or sleeping with its littermates....and the puppy will be looking for and needing someone to bond with....this should be you,  the new parent,  not us.


AIR TRAVEL :

New puppies  must be at least 8 weeks old to fly , this age varies with different airlines.                   

If you want to fly with the puppy as a carry on,  the new owner will  fly into either Atlanta or Birmingham airport, we will meet you at the airport with the puppy  and you fly back home the same day with the puppy in the cabin with you.    You will  make your selection from photos & video that will be sent to you.       If you prefer to not travel back on the same day, you can rent a car , stay the night and fly back the next day.   

Delta,  United, Southwest  Airlines  &  American  Airlines    accept  puppies as a carry-on.    


OTHER:  

If  both pick up at our home and air travel is not an option,  we can occasionally make arrangements to deliver the puppy to you... or at least part way.  The cost of delivery depends on how far we travel. 

PLEASE NOTE : WE  WILL  NOT  RELEASE  YOUR  PUPPY  TO  A "PET TRANSPORT COMPANY "  unless you notify us in advance  of  you booking this transport .   If something happens last minute that prevents you from being here on the scheduled puppy  day, please contact us immediately .  We will work out other arrangements to get your puppy to you.   PLEASE  DO  NOT  MAKE  A  PAYMENT  TO  A  "PET TRANSPORT COMPANY "  WITHOUT  TALKING  TO  US  FIRST. 


  • PAYMENT  INFO

Vizsla puppies are $1600.  

Braque Francais puppies are $2000.    

Along with your personal information,  we  require  a  $300.  deposit  to reserve a new puppy.   At the time you make a deposit you need to specify if you want a male or female puppy.  Many of our puppies are reserved before the litter is born.  Since we do not know how many male/female puppies will be born, we accept a limited number of advance reservations.   The deposit is non refundable ,  unless  there are not enough pups born  to fulfill your reservation.   We CAN NOT guarantee color of a puppy.  


For DEPOSITS:  

We accept  personal checks or a  bank certified check for payments to reserve a puppy.   Make your  checks payable to  " Anita  Karnes".   ($300.)


For the BALANCE:  

For puppies PICKED UP at our home, the balance is due  on puppy day.    We do NOT accept  payments by PayPal  or other types of  phone/internet payment.    The final payment is preferred in cash . 

For puppies we deliver  to you:   please make payment in cash.           


LATE FEE:  

If you will be  picking up your puppy after the scheduled puppy day, please let us know asap so we can make other arrangements.... AND  you will  have a late pick up fee of   $50, unless the puppy is waiting on a flight that will depart at 8 weeks old.       


MAILING ADDRESS:  

Please make checks payable to:   Anita  Karnes.  

Mail payments to:

 Anita  Karnes,  245 Lakeside Lane,  Alpine Alabama  35014.


  • OTHER  INFO  

After the puppies are born and as they grow I take photos and send out by email to keep the new parents updated on their progress.   Sometimes I post photos on Facebook or Instagram but mostly I send the photos via email.    Once the puppies start eating and playing I take video's and post on You Tube.   I try to do this weekly.   The puppies are handled, cuddled,  played with,  talked to ,  listen to music daily and  have some  visits from the grandgirls.  They have toys to play with and during their last week here they are introduced to being in a crate with the door closed.  


We provide 1st time puppy parents with a "puppy packet" which contains  articles on various information ...examples: preparing your home;   food, plants & things that are dangerous;  tips on house training, socialization, nipping;  health info, etc.  

We also provide a health guarantee  /purchase agreement  for all puppies  which includes a 26 month hip guarantee.   

You will receive a health record which will list the dates  & types of  deworming's, 1st vaccine and any other medicine given to the puppies. 

Our puppies are fed Fromm Gold Puppy Food.


All of our adult Vizsla's are AKC registered .  All of our adult Braque Francais are registered with NAVHDA and AKC FSS .  

All  litters will be registered  limited  with  AKC  (Vizsla),   AKC   FSS  or   NAVHDA   registration (Braque);  these are   non-breeding registrations. 

All  puppies have their tails docked and dewclaws removed.    We do not leave any tails full length.    

All puppies are vet checked before leaving us.

 

  • MESSAGES 

Messages about reserving a puppy should be sent to the email address:  "wingshotkennels@gmail.com"   or to our phone. 

I prefer email instead of  the messenger app on Facebook .    Once a puppy is reserved, you can email or  text  questions about pick up  to  Anita at  256-404-1749.  or call/text Jeff with training questions  at 256-404-1384.      Questions about training , behavior or  health issues after receiving your puppy  should be  directed to  Jeff at             256-404-1384.
