Requirements / limits
· Lower 48 U.S. only; no locations with quarantine rules.

Payment timing: Payment is due no later than 7 days before pickup/transport unless we agree in writing to a different timeline; in all cases, payment must be received before the puppy is released or transportation begins.
Platform protections
(Good Dog): Good Dog provides protections for both buyer and breeder,
including dispute support and payment safeguards (for example, reimbursement if
a puppy is not delivered, and protection against certain payment reversals).
How to pay
