Placing A Deposit: A deposit of $200.00 is your guarantee that I will not place the puppy/dog of your choice with someone else. A deposit also serves as my guarantee that you will be purchasing the puppy/dog specified, therefore a deposit is non-refundable. I will not hold puppies on your word alone. You will be notified when your puppy is ready to come to its new home, your deposit will hold your puppy an additional 10 days past this time at no extra fee. During this 10 days we expect that you will make arrangements with us for the pick-up or shipping of your puppy, and all final amounts are due. If all details are not finalized we will assume that this puppy is available for others. If your puppy needs to stay with us longer than the 10 days as described, boarding is available: http://hestekinhills.com/boarding.htm Deposits are non-refundable unless, in the unlikely event something happens to the puppy here, or your puppy does not pass our vets exam. (deposit would then be refunded) I will no longer pre-book flights or make transportation arrangements without the puppy being paid for in full.
Choosing a Male or female puppy: Basically choosing the sex turns out to be a personal preference thing, some people will tell you that they will never have a male dog and others will tell you that they will never have a female dog! A few thing that might help you decide between the two sexes: Have you had a dog before? Was this dog a male or a female? What did you like about this dog and what did you dislike about this dog? Maybe ask a friend with a dog why they choose a male or female? Call your veterinarian and inform him/her that you are considering the idea of adding a new puppy to your home and ask your vet if they think a male or a female would be the right choice for you. If you spay a female and neuter a male, the two really compare closely. If you don't spay a female she will come into heat (season) for about 30 days each time and she would be leaving little red spots all over your house. If you neuter a male at 6 months of age, or before his manly hormonal boost, that will or should eliminate any marking of territory. Marking is a learned habit and if you can cut off the hormones before he learns what marking is, males make wonderful pets. Males are usually a little more affectionate than females, at least that has been my experience!
Pet Quality Puppies versus Show Quality Puppies: Don't let a breeder fool you when they tell you that their puppies are show quality puppies. Being show quality is something that no breeder, no matter how experienced he/she may be, cannot guarantee to you until the puppy has reached at least 6 months of age. If I refer to a puppy as pet quality that does not mean that the puppy is not the best example of his/her breed, that fact is just unknown at that time. I use the difference in terms, of Pet or Show quality, only to describe the puppies destination, meaning the show ring, or a wonderful and loving pet home. A show potential puppy is one that goes beyond the definition of pet quality. These dogs are free of all AKC disqualifying faults. They are not guaranteed to win in the show ring, but AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION, display no structural, cosmetic or temperament faults that would prevent them from attaining a breed championship if handled correctly of course. The fact that a dog may finish a championship does not necessarily mean that it is of breeding quality. Correct phenotype, or what is seen from the outside, does not guarantee correct genotype which would be the genes that are crossed and passed on to the next generation. My puppies may mature to be show quality, and under special circumstances, the AKC limited registration can be lifted, which would allow for showing in all events. The Universal Kennel Club International (UKC), and America's Pet Registry (APR) also have dog show events available now, see their sites for more information.

Microchip:
is smaller than a grain of rice and is coded with a unique ten digit
code. The microchip is injected between the
pets shoulder blades, and just under the skin, much like a vaccine. You
will be given the additional paperwork to register that chip with
the Recovery Service, the life time enrollment fee of $17.50 per pet is
paid by you and directly to HomeAgain Pet
Recovery Service! Or register online at www.HomeAgainID.com
Vitamins: Nuvet is an all natural supplement to make sure that our baby gets everything that his or her growing body needs. NuVet Plus can only be purchased directly from the manufacturer: NuVet Labs. They can be reached at 1-800-474-7044. order code number #36582 or online at: www.nuvet.com/36582
Payments: Payment plans are an option. I am willing to work with you on most any payment arrangements, just let me know what you have in mind. The easiest and fastest way to make payment would be to wire the funds from your bank to my bank, this is all done within a matter of minutes. Other alternatives are: Cash is accepted at the time of pickup; Paypal is accepted with a 3% transaction fee; I do not like Western Union but this is also an option; Personal checks are accepted as deposits and also as payments, All personal checks must clear my bank prior to you picking up your puppy, or the shipping of your puppy! All puppies/dogs remain with me until completely paid for. I do not accept Cashiers Checks or Money Orders due to the Nigerian Check scam warnings on the internet. ALL DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
Shipping
Options are:
* You can come here to pick your puppy up (Eau Claire, Wisconsin)
* Shipping by Northwest
or Kitty Hawk Air:
Although I would prefer to meet my babies new families in person, I do
understand that this is not always an option for those of you who live so far
away, therefore I offer world wide shipping at an added expense! I prefer to
use Northwest
or Kitty Hawk Air
due to the extra special attention they have paid to my puppies in the
past, but other airlines are always an option at your request! Shipping prices
start at about $250.00 depending on the size of the puppy, the time of year,
and temperatures. All airlines have temperature restrictions in which the
temperatures must be between 10 and 85 degrees in order for me to ship a
puppy, if it is too hot or too cold to ship on a certain day we can go day by
day until the temperatures are alright for shipping. If this happens,
please bare with me, I will get your puppy to you as soon as I can, and Thank
you for understanding! When I quote a price to you, be assured that all
expenses are included. (My travel to and from the airport which is about a 4
hour round trip, the puppies required health papers for the airline, a pet
porter that is large enough for a comfortable trip, and the flight/airline
fees) I will no longer pre-book flights without the puppy being paid for
in full. Shipping is usually done in the middle of the week, I prefer
Wednesdays. If I have to make a special trip to the airport for your
difficult schedule please add $50.00 to cover the cost of my gas to and from
the airport.
*We also offer door to door delivery, and/or partial delivery service. Delivery prices vary depending on destination and total drive time:

The puppy you have selected is
guaranteed by Hestekin Hills to the
original adoptor. This puppy appears to be of sound body, and in good
health, as far as appears to the eye at the time of this adoption. The
adoptor is strongly urged to establish a relationship with a
Veterinarian of their choice within 24 hours of the adoption to assure
that they will follow through with this puppies health care. This
puppy is guaranteed until the age of 1 year against hereditary and
congenital disorders that will interfere with the puppy's ability to
lead a normal life, excluding umbilical hernias
which is normal for this breed. Should a veterinarian find such a
hereditary or congenital disorder, you simply supply us with your
veterinarians written report and the report from the OFA
or GDC, stating that this puppy is
indeed severely affected. This puppy would then be replaced with
another of equal value, and as available. We reserve the right to have
any diagnosis verified by a veterinarian of our choice. I do not pay
veterinary bills incurred under any circumstances. All Veterinarian
and transportation expenses are the adoptor's
responsibility. Puppies are not placed on a trial basis, but may
be returned to us at any time in their life and for any reason. The
adoptor is aware that no refunds will be given and that they are
taking full responsibility for this puppy from this date forward. At
no time should a puppy/dog be placed in any rescue organization,
shelter, pound or any other such organization, and/or for any reason.
If a situation such as this ever presents itself to you, you simply
are guaranteeing me that you will be responsible enough to return this
puppy/dog to me so that I can aid in placing him/her in a new loving
home.
Three options of this adoption are available, place your initials by the option of your choice:
______This
puppy has been adopted as a pet for. You as the adoptor agree to
keep this puppy in top condition. Registration papers if given, are
as a courtesy only on pet puppies. It is recommended that you have
this puppy spay/neutered at approximately six months of age. If this
puppy has been bred, intentionally or not, this guarantee is void!
If this Adoption Agreement is violated, the adoptor agrees to pay
the difference of the adoption fee, which is equal to the amount
already paid.
It
is required that you find a reputable veterinarian to keep this puppy
up to date on all vaccinations and wormings according to veterinarian
standards for this puppies age. It is required that this puppy remain
on the NuVet Plus vitamins as a nutritional supplement. (To order your

Pedigree puppy food, and it is strongly recommended that you follow
this program. Adult size, conformation, color, pattern, and breeding
capabilities if applicable, can not be guaranteed. All Veterinarian
and transportation expenses are the adoptor's responsibility. I assume
no responsibility for the puppy after leaving our premises for
accident, injury, disagreement of family members, veterinarian exams,
medications, mortality, behavior, disease, or for any other reasons. I
do not pay veterinary bills incurred under any circumstances, and the
adoptor is aware that no refunds will be given as they are taking full
responsibility for this puppy from this date forward. Providing
adequate medical care including heartworm preventative and yearly
vaccinations is a must. Providing adequate exercise and human contact
is a necessity of any puppy or dog.
I, as the adoptor of this puppy, do hereby guarantee that I am not a
broker or a puppy mill. I am aware that placing of this puppy in any
such place is a violation of this contract.
Adoptor agrees that if any conditions or terms of the above contract
are violated by the adoptor, the adoptor will pay restitution, which
is equal to the amount already paid. If the adoptor must be taken into
court to enforce this contract it is agreed that all court costs and
legal fees incurred will be paid by the adoptor, all actions will be
in Wisconsin Court and be subject to Wisconsin Laws. Adopting a puppy
should not be an impulsive decision and it is your responsibility to
understand that you are making a decision for the lifetime of the
puppy.

I prefer to place my puppies as pets to
wonderful homes.
If you're interested in breeding or showing, contact me for additional contract
information and prices!
I have the right to refuse any prospective homes!
The key components to our successful breeding program are health,
physical structure, quality, excellent temperaments, and extreme intelligence.
My affiliations and Registries:
1. I am in good standings and I always have been in good standings with: AKC, APR, UKC, CKC, RKF, UKCI, and more.
2. I am inspected by the AKC. Inspections Educate Breeders and Promote Better Breeding Practices: read more about the AKC inspection process online at: http://www.akc.org/about/depts/investigations.cfm/
3. Our dogs are shown in AKC (The American Kennel Club) and CKC (The Canadian Kennel Club) events, read more about dog showing online at: www.akc.org/events/conformation/beginners.cfm
4. For the past 10 years I have been an evaluator for The American Kennel Clubs Canine Good Citizen Program. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. Read more about the CGC program online at: www.akc.org/events/conformation/beginners.cfm
5. I successfully completed the NACA Wisconsin Humane Officer Training Course in 2004 and am certified to be a Wisconsin Humane Officer. My facility is licensed by my township, the DNR, and is also inspected and licensed by the USDA (a federal license). I am not required to be a USDA facility but I wanted to be sure that I hold every license available to me. Other facilities may avoid proper city, town and federal licenses and most claim to be exempt from such, I feel any facility holding animals for any purpose should be USDA (federal) licensed.
6. I am available and I offer my aid with any adoption, placements, health, foster care, education, and/or support to you. If you need to a re-home your pet I am willing to assist you, regardless of where your dog came from!
7. I do not support private breed clubs. A private breed club member is "not" better then a non-member. If you are not on the PTA at your childs school does that make you a bad mom? Private breed club members are not inspectors, they are not certified, and they do not care for their animals any better or worse then a non-member! Anyone who has more then 3 dogs in their home or on their property should be licensed by someone whether it is their city, their state, or the federal government. Being a member of a private breed club is not a license. I have chose to not be a member of the BCOA.
8. I feel that I am highly educated in the field of animals and animal care, most of my education is accomplished by hands on experience. I am a farm girl who grew up on a large dairy and horse farm. Bonnie Brae Dairy had provided bottled milk for many in this area. As a child my grandmother, Vivian, showed and raised tiny Pomeranians; my other grandmother, Gladys, showed and raised Miniature Poodles; and my parents had Doberman Pinschers. Grandpa had a passion for Shetland ponies and horses and at times had as many as 100 which he provided to camps such as Camp Agawak, where my Aunt Jean taught the camp riding lessons. My dad later started Bonnie Brae Quarter Horse farm where he eventually added in paint horses and is now RH Horse Company. Maybe you have met some of our horses in the past at The Trinity Equestrian Center where their time was "donated" to help make some youngster smile. My mother hauled her 4 children horse showing nearly every weekend, and currently hauls my children horse showing. I have assisted with many rehabilitating situations with all sorts of animals and I am willing to welcome any new experience. I will try to answer most any questions you may have or help you with any issues you may have as well, I might not have the answer to every issue but I am sure willing to try, please don't be afraid to ask!
9. Dog breeders work hard to keep the 300+ choices of breeds alive, read more about dog breeders at: http://hestekinhills.com.
The American Kennel Club has an obedience program called
The Canine Good Citizen Program.
I am a CGC Evaluator and yes you can come to me to have
your dog evaluated and possibly receive your award certificate!
