EMAIL: boss@mountainpassbarn.com

  • Preregistration with AKC for shih tzu or Continental Kennel Club for dalmatians (referred to as CKC but not to be confused with the Canadian Kennel Club) a $40 value
  • 30 days free pet insurance
  • AKC ReUnite microchipped and preregistered a $40 value
  • Pups get baths, nails, and shih's get feet and fanny trimming
  • Potty training started: Kindergarten pups get outside and/or pine pellet box potty training started according to weather as well as introduction to the Brilliant Pad
  • Obstacles, balance boards, puzzles, and more make confident pups - priceless $
  • Confined crate training: The most important rule of crating is to not feed them a few hours before you expect them to not go to the bathroom for multiple hours. The general rule is their age in months equals the hours they can last in the crate.
  • car rides and fieldtrips
  • DNA tested parents in good standing in over 200 genetic markers by Embark including disc disease, clotting disorder, hypothyroid, PRA blindness, and more. For the dalmatians I am working towards low uric acid in my program but it will take another generation or two as the majority of dal's are high uric acid resulting in potential bladder or kidney stones in some boys - it doesn't always affect them clinically and science doesn't really understand if the genetic marker is correlative, causative, or due to confounding factors or markers, the jury is still out. A $240 value
  • OFA tested parents registered with the database at $15 each test submitted
  • OFA's may include eyes, hearing, knees, heart, hip and elbows according to breed recommendations as well as finances permitting. My top shih tzu stud has all passing eyes (CAER), cardiac, patellas, hips, elbows, dentition, which is more than required by breed standard. Each OFA test has it's own cost ranging from $35 to $500 and adding up to $1000 for the dalmatians
  • Pups get an exam by a veterinarian, a $50 value
  • Full refund in the first 5 days providing you didn't injure the pup and up to 2 years if the pup is found to have a congenital disorder or if the pup dies with a necropsy or a partial refund for the life of the dog according to age as detailed below
  • Go Home bag, travel box if you are traveling alone with no car carrier, Pro Plan all stages kibble food, toy/chew, leash, breed information
  • I will allow onsite pick up; it is rare to find someone who will allow you to see their home (after payment has been made to ward off scammers and thieves)



I do extensive health and genetic testing as well as account for form and function of the parents. They come pre-registered AKC with 30 free pet insurance which you are expected to utilize. They come microchipped and registered with AKC Reunite. You will need to provide me with the name you want to register with, a good long-term address, phone number, and email so that I can register you. We will wait for the week trial period with the pup to make sure you don’t change your mind because the paperwork will cost money to change it back. Deworming of pups and mother with products proven safe with long-term observation and vet guided dosages and timeframes. We wash pups in warm water and trim bums and nails. If you want a show dog, please allow me to guide you towards the proper puppy or guide you to someone else in my network that will have show quality. We go on car rides to the vet to get vaccinated, microchipped, and checked out as close to their 8th week as possible. We begin outdoor introduction in a few more weeks, with seasonally dependent activities and multiple locations, floor textures, sounds, smells, and types of people. When you buy a puppy from me you are getting more than just a dog, you are getting assurance that the pup has had the best start possible even before conception with genetics and parent pairings.


I will take back any of my dogs at any time, you can have a partial refund for the life of the dog as a percentage of age and a factor of how much I was able to re home the dog for in an effort to encourage letting me rehome the dog. If the dog is deemed unfit by a vet within 5 days of possession not including retained baby teeth or mal aligned dentition, umbilical hernias, snorting, or testicles undescended, all of which are not serious and are common, then 100% refund upon return providing that you did not injure the pup. If you just change your mind it is a 10% restocking fee but you will get 90% of the total amount you paid for the pup in the first 5 days. In order to get the refund you must deliver the dog back to me at my residence. If the pup is found to have a congenital defect that can be tested for within 2 years then I will issue a 100% refund of purchase price upon return of the dog. If the dog dies by 2 years of age and you want a refund I require 2 second opinions by vets of my choosing and a consultation discussion with my vet and /or an autopsy / necropsy because I don't assume you didn't poison it with a grape, raisin, xylitol, bug poison, fertilizer, household chemicals, eaten magnets or floss, outside plants, indoor plants, etc. If it's been under a week since purchase and you just changed your mind then 90% of purchase price. If you changed your mind and the dog has been in your possession longer than 5 days and is 8 weeks - 1 yr then you get 60% of what I was able to rehome the dog for minus my expenses and any fees. 2 years - 7 years is 30%. if the dog is 8 or more you get 10% of rehoming fee minus my expenses. This is only for if you give me back the dog and I will have possession and time to place the dog before refunding money. This is like a rebate to encourage you to bring me back the dog instead of a letting a shelter take possession either for neglect or self-surrender. Depending on the circumstance I may be able to provide another puppy in lieu of money if I approve it and that is your preference. If you want money back without returning the dog the answer is no.
