Celeto Standard & Miniature Poodles
 
Miniature Puppy Buyer Application


Thank you for your interest in a Celeto Poodle puppy. We do our best to ensure that our puppies are sold to loving committed homes and this questionnaire will help us to better know you and what you are looking for in a puppy. By filling out this application puppy buyers are helping us to get a feel for what their family’s lifestyles are and what types of characteristics they are looking for in their new puppy. An active, young family is more likely to be looking for an outgoing, energetic puppy that can keep up with their busy lifestyle while an older, retired couple may be looking for a more laid back, calm puppy.
Please cut and paste this into an email and send it to Liz @ st_poodle@yahoo.com with “Miniature Puppy Buyer Application” in the subject line; thank you.

All puppies will be registered with AKC and the registered name must include prefix “Celeto”.  All puppies are evaluated at approximately eight weeks for temperament and show potential.  All puppies will have received age appropriate vaccinations and worming prior to leaving for their new forever homes, and will have been health checked by the breeder’s veterinarian.   Puppies may go to their new homes at approximately nine weeks of age.   It is your responsibility to have your puppy examined by your veterinarian within 72 hours of taking possession of your puppy.

Companion pet puppies are sold only with a spay/neuter agreement, with limited registration documentation held by breeder until proof of spay/neuter is provided.  Puppies should not be spayed or neutered until 10-13 months of age to allow for growth plates to close.  Show potential puppies sold with full registration will be co-owned with breeder until championship title has been achieved, health testing is complete, and any other breeding requirements have been met. Registration documents will be held by breeder until such requirements have been met. Please contact me directly to discuss availability, price, deposit, terms of ownership, etc.    We do not to ship our puppies. We require you personally visit our home and take delivery of your puppy. If you do not live within driving distance, you can fly into Chicago, pick up your puppy and fly home with the puppy in the cabin underneath the seat in a soft sided carrier.

All prospective buyers must provide two references, with phone #’s, to whom I may speak personally.
