PETIT JEAN PUPPIES
LOCAL VISITS AND SALES
:

This is not a pet store and is not open 24/7 for drop in visitors,
you
MUST HAVE AN APPOINTMENT before you come!

Local pickup is great and preferred.  Or I can meet you closer if you prefer for a
gas cost fee.  If you plan to pick up your puppy here in Oppelo, Arkansas, please
remember that your puppy price
does not include a vet exam.  I am very aware of
genetic issues and do plan my breedings carefully, and I know what to watch for
in a sick puppy, but I am not a vet and cannot be sure of each puppies well being.
 The shipping fee includes a vet check and health certificate.  So if you wish for
your puppy to be examined prior to you picking it up, please request this and
understand that $50 will be added to your puppy price.  This is very important if
you drive a long distance and get the puppy home and your vet finds a problem.  
This would be a long drive for a return of a puppy.  Or I can  book you an
appointment with a local veterinarian here.   We do not anticipate finding a health
issue but I am just making everything as clear as possible about what could
happen.  Remember you do have three business days to have your puppy vet
checked and can get a full refund if a life threatening genetic disease is found.

I do not accept  personal checks,  cashiers checks or money orders for local pick
ups.
 Please bring cash and correct change or use paypal prior to coming.

VISITS:

I welcome local visits!  Although I will remind you that this is not a pet store
equipped for public traffic.   I will show you only a few puppies at a time in my
house.  Please understand that I do not allow people to walk thru the nursery
where the mommies and babies are because we have mommies that are either
pregnant, in labor, or just nursing newborns and we can't have traffic thru
disturbing them.  Some moms are nervous with strangers around and are overly
protective and get so upset that they can trample their puppies.  So you can see
why we don't allow you to visit the nursery.  It's not that we are ashamed of our
facility or that it is dirty, it's just more important that we give moms their own safe
place where they can feel safe and secure with their babies.  My vet also
suggested no public traffic for disease prevention.  Just ask and we will be glad
to show you the parent dogs of the puppies you look at (weather permitting).

I no longer show puppies under 6 wks old.  They must have their first shots
before they can be shown.  Please do not wear strong perfume and hold a
puppy, some mothers will refuse their puppy after a new scent is all over their
puppy!  This has happened !  

Please make
your visit may be brief, as we have babies born at all hours of the
day and also may have sick or dogs/babies needing our care and attention.

Before your appointment is booked, you will be asked to complete the
online
adoption form, so that I can appropriately help you chose a puppy to suit your
family.

Please ask questions before making your deposit as they are non-refunable.

For theft purposes, I will have you call me from the Morrilton, I-40, Exit 108, and I
will give you directions from there to the house, but not until then.  I hope you
understand why I do not post directions on my site.  I am about 30 minutes from
Conway and 40 min from Russellville and 50 min from Little Rock.

WHEN WILL MY PUPPY BE READY??
Most larger toy size puppies are ready by 8-10 wks old.  Teacups from 10-14
wks old.  But, If you are driving here from a long distance or flying here, you must
be flexible.  If you are booking a cheaper fair ticket, you need to realize that a
puppy may not be ready at exactly 8 weeks old.  There is no way for me to
determine exactly when each and every puppy is ready.  
Please do not book your flight way in advance and expect the puppy to be ready
by 8 wks old.  While most toy and larger size puppies are ready by 8 weeks,
there is always a pup that might not wean well and need to be kept here longer to
make sure that he or she is eating good.   Also, if you are driving here and are
requesting time off from work, please remember that the dates we set are not
set in stone!  PLEASE BE FLEXIBLE!  THESE ARE LIVING PUPPIES NOT
PRODUCTS ON A SHELF WE CAN PULL OFF AT ANY DATE!  Puppies can not
leave here until they are eating well on their own-- no exceptions !  
There are also other factors that could delay your puppies ready date:  cold,
vaccine reaction, or other illness.


Thank You, We look forward to meeting you very soon!
