Deposits/Current Prices

Deposits-Before a 500 dollar deposit is accepted, Puppy buyer must take the time to have several phone calls with Dan and complete the online puppy application found on website.   Once a 500 dollar deposit is received for a potential pup out of a particular litter,  Au Reult, SD has the option of holding this deposit for twelve months to fulfill the puppy contract if there was not a pup out of said litter for any reason. Personal checks are welcome at this point in the process. 

Balance Due- Full balance of amount due will be expected to be paid in full at the time of pick up from my residence or BEFORE the puppy is shipped.  ONLY Postal Service M/O,  Travelers checks, Cash, or Cashiers checks are acceptable.   Personal checks will NOT be accepted at the time of sale for out of state sales.

If there is not a puppy available at the end of twelve months,  deposits can either be refunded minus a fifty dollar accounting fee or used towards a Swissy puppy born in the next litter(s).
 
NOTE: Sometimes puppies may not be available from that particular litter due to unforeseen circumstances not under Au Reult SD Farm's control.

If potential puppy buyer cancels the sale because they found another puppy or for any other reason then Au Reult, SD will NOT return the deposit.  Deposits can be used against future litters. 

*Suddanly has the right to cancel a sale at any time for any reason. If we cancel the sale we will return deposit minus the fifty dollar accounting fee.

Puppy Selection: PLEASE NOTE: Dan will make final selections at 8-10 weeks of age on who goes where.  I make the selection based on puppy's temperament, activity level, pecking order in pack and what the family would like to do with the pup based on phone conversations and puppy application information.  I will try to take into consideration markings and sex of pup but realistically you are not buying a painting but a living companion that you will have to get along with hopefully for next 10-12 years.  I will add puppy pics to my website approximately every two weeks so you can see the progress of litter.


Delivery Options  (Please read)
* Once puppy leaves my direct care (from Premises or Airport Cargo at shipping time) puppy's new owners take over the sole financial and legal responsibilities for the puppy.  Suddanly will follow all contractual agreements. 

Due to new Federal USDA rules and regulations legislating hobby dog breeders you will have the following options available to you to take your puppy home with you :

At 8-12 weeks you can do the following depending on your puppies quality designation. 

You will have two options to pick up your Pet/Companion quality pup:
A. Pick up puppy in Person from my hous.
B.. Buy a round trip airplane  ticket and take pup back home with you in a X-Large collapsible Sherpa bag under the seat in the Airplane Cabin.  To do this I will need to get a Health Certificate for you and meet you at either Raleigh/Durham AP or Charlotte Int'l AP.  It is now 150 dollars for a Health Certificate and an extra 75 dollars for Travel expenses.  

C. (Show/Breeding or Performance type pups used for performance work ONLY) You will also have the option of having your pup shipped to a International AP near you if it is in cooler seasons of the year.  The shipping costs include a Health Certificate, Crate, Airline Ticket, and Travel expenses to the Airport.   The ballpark figure is usually around 600 dollars. 


** In summer heat,  you will only have the options A and B to choose from.   

Thanks for your interest in our breed. 

 

Prices (for pups sold after Jan. 1, 2024)

Swissy puppy prices

Pet pups with disqualifying faults - $1000 dollars
Cosmetic faults that will not impact the health of the puppy according to our AKC Breed Standard- ie Wrong coat color, too much white on face/ no eyebrows.  Will be sold on AKC Limited Registration.   Price is firm. * Very few pups out of my litters fall into this category.

Quality Pet/Companion pups that fit our breed standard- $ 2900  dollars
These pups fit our breed standard and are good ambassadors for our breed.  Would encourage you to use these pups in performance eventing.  Will be sold on AKC Limited Registration with non- breeding agreements on Pet/Companion contracts.  . *Sometimes pet pups will have cosmetic faults that do not need surgical intervention such as slight overbites or small hernias that will not impact the health of the puppy as it grows into adulthood. Small hernias can be fixed at the time the pup is neutered at 20 months or older. 

Superior Quality Show/Breeding Quality Prospects-  $2900 dollars
These pups are what I would consider top of the line,  pick of the litter selections. They will have very good conformation, good outgoing temperaments, and if shown in good condition as a mature adult with an experienced handler are guaranteed to be able to receive point(s) in an AKC show before the age of three. There may or may not be pups of this calibur in any given litter. My expectations for these pups is that they will be shown in Conformation and/or Performance events.     Pups will be sold initially on AKC limited registrations for people who do not have breeder referrals or a past history of showing dogs of other breeds.   If new owner sends me proof of good faith efforts to train the pups in Conformation or Performance venues then I will go back and upgrade limited AKC registration to Full.  
*Do not expect me to sell you a show quality pup unless you are willing to work in Conformation or Performance venues with the pup.   I expect great things from my best pups.

Superior Quality Show/Breeding Quality Prospects-  $2500

These pups are what I would consider top of the line, pick of the litter selections. They will have very good conformation, good outgoing temperaments, and if shown in good condition as a mature adult with an experienced handler are qaraunteed to be able to receive point(s) in an AKC show before the age of three. There may or may not be pups of this caliber in any given litter. My expectations for these pups is that they will be shown in Performance and/or Conformation events. Pups will be sold initially on AKC limited registrations for people who do not have breeder referrals or a past history of showing dogs.  If new owner sends me proof of good faith efforts to train the pups in Conformation or Performance venues I will go back and upgrade limited AKC registration to Full.   *Do not expect me to sell you a show quality pup unless you are willing to work in Conformation or Performance venues with the pup.   I expect great things from my best pups and their owners/new family members.  


All pups  

* If this is first time you have worked with me and/or have not shown dogs to an AKC championship in the past, pups will be sold on limited AKC registration until you send me proof that your pup is entered in conformation or performance type event training classes.  This is for the protection of this pup so a Au Reult SD dog does not end up in a pet shop puppy's pedigree.
