Our Policies:
Please review Reign On SS's policies below for ownership BEFORE contacting us with interest in a puppy.
1. Reign On SS prides itself on their knowledge and experience with the Standard Schnauzer breed. They are not a breed for everyone, Standard Schnauzers require regular grooming, training, and lots of love as would any puppy. . That said, we reserve the right to not place a puppy in an environment we do not feel is best for the development of that puppy. This would include: homes with children under 6 (under special circumstances we will allow), families in apartments; homes without a physical fence (invisible fences not allowed); families that utilize the services of a doggy daycare. If you fit any of these criteria, please do not request an application as it will be rejected.
2. If you are interested in a puppy, you will be required to complete and submit an application. Our application is a simple questionnaire to help us get to know you better so we can pair you with the right puppy when/if the time comes. You can request an application via email. Please note, not all applications received will be approved. Reign On SS reserves the right to reject an application should we not feel confident one of our puppies will be well-matched with an applicant. All approved applications will be filed to our waiting list for future litters. No prior contact, whether via email or phone call, can be substituted for an application. If a buyer wants on our waiting list, an application is required and a deposit of $200.
3. This is NOT an adoption. Every puppy from Reign On SS is a live-animal sale with a legal purchasing contract, and all sales are final. We strongly suggest requesting a copy of our contract before requesting an application if you are unsure you will be able to fulfill it's conditions.
4. Reign On SS does not offer/sell breeding rights. All puppies will be sold on a companion-contract with AKC Limited Registration only. This will only be reconsidered should we have an applicant seeking to show a puppy in conformation. In such circumstances, puppies will be sold with a show/competition contract wherein Reign On SS will maintain co-ownership of puppy until contracted show conditions and appropriate OFA health testing have been fulfilled.
5. All puppies will be sold on a spay/neuter contract, unless under a show contract. Owners will be contractually obligated to spay/neuter their puppy between the ages of 12 months to 18 months--no sooner, no later.
6. All puppies will be sold with natural ears, tails docked, and dew claws removed. Ear cropping can be done upon request, this is an extra cost. The price of the crop is a flat fee that that will be added to the puppy price starting at $3,000.
7. All puppies will come with a health guarantee that states they are clear of DCM, parents are clear of Hip Dysplasia and have clear eyes and clear of DCM. Puppies can not be tested hip dysplasia until they are 2 years old. Eyes can be tested at one years old. It’s is up to the new owner if they want this done. Puppies are up-to-date on shots and deworming, has been evaluated by a registered veterinarian, and has been administered the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Testing.
8. Reign On SS will take back a dog/puppy back of any age and rehome it accordingly for free in the unlikely case an owner can no longer care their dog from us. We do not legally allow dogs of our breeding to be released to a shelter or rescue for any reason.
9. A $500 deposit is required to reserve any puppy. Deposit will go towards final cost of puppy and the deposit is due by the time puppies are 3 weeks old. No puppy is promised to any person until 8 weeks old--deposit simply confirms a commitment to a particular litter, not a particular puppy. Deposits are completely non-refundable if someone should cancel their reservation for a puppy. Final balance is due at pick up.
10. We do NOT ship our puppies. Please do not contact us to inquire about our shipping policies. All puppies will be picked up in person at our home. If you are flying in we can meet you at the Huntsville, AL Airport.
11. All Reign On SS puppies will come with an AKC registered name picked by myself according to the litter's theme. This name cannot be changed; however, owners are free to call their puppy by whatever name they choose. (Ex. Our Heggie is officially registered under the name Ch. Reign On Drops of Jupiter, yet is called "Heggie.")
12. All owners of a Reign On SS puppy will be obligated to commit to the training of their puppy, to include enrolling at minimum 2 puppy/dog obedience classes offered by a certified dog trainer. A well-behaved dog does not simply happen on its own. It takes time and persistence on the owners part, often with the aid of a professional trainer, especially with the standard schnauzer breed. All potential owners must realize this contingency when considering a standard schnauzer.
