A BIT ABOUT CONTRACTS

We have a purchase agreement, so that you can read in full PRIOR to purchase what we are willing and or not
willing to do given any situation. The terms are CLEAR and easy to read and not
a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo that neither you or I will be able to understand.

Our Agreement, is a living breathing document.
Over the years we have modified this Agreement numerous times to better address the concerns of all parties involved.
IF you have any questions about my Agreement, ask me. I'm more than happy to help you understand
why something is written and I'm always open to hearing suggestions to better protect Owner and Breeder.
I am not out to mislead anyone with a "lifetime" guarantee which when you read the fine print doesn't really
protect against anything, or rip anyone off with statements I'm not willing to follow through with.
My Agreement is here for the world to see .

As responsible breeders we would like you to contact us if puppy is said to require any surgeries
during puppies lifetime, BEFORE you agree to anything !!! but especially if anything happens before a year of age.
Often, we are able to offer insight and alternative
solutions which may save you money and also stress on one of our precious pups with unnecessary treatments or surgeries.
We also wish to know if anything is wrong or happens with any of our pups
and at any age, because we want to know how our breeding program is doing.

We are also available to aid you in solving common puppy training issues.
While we did our best to screen puppy people, to only those with ability, support and experience with new puppies
however despite our efforts, we do understand that puppy energy/behaviour, can be very overwhelming and we can aid you in finding
a suitable trainer, to help you modify behaviour, so puppy continues to be happy and welcome everywhere.
NEVER EVER medicate one of our pups to modify their behaviour, as that can cause permanent physical damage
and does not solve the OWNER issue with the actual behaviour. I would rather take the puppy back, if issues are that bad.

Please also remember you can return your puppy to us at any time, any age and for any reason.
We do offer a "buy back" program, because we want to ensure none of our pups end up in shelters.
This means you will get your purchase price, minus your non-refundable deposit and any
expenses, such as medical, or professional trainer costs, we have to pay, in order to re-home your puppy/adult.

NOOOOOO !!!!

It is PARAMOUNT that people view Corportatly owned Veterinarian Clinics not as human Doctors but as Sales people, with a product to sell you.
This means that Pet Owners need to be very educated on what procedures or treatments they want their animals to have.
Pet Owners buying from an educated proactive responsible Breeder are going to be way a head of the game, and well armed.
Veterinarian's today are mostly Corporations that may have quotas to fill.
SO ASK questions !!

PLEASE, YOU MUST READ THIS PAGE !!!

I network with animal health care professionals ALL the time and I am constantly, updating my knowledge base.
With my Medical background and over 35 years of experience (since 1989) of Breeding, Training Showing
and knowing my own lines of over 4 generations, I should be able to assist you in some manner
so do give me a chance to help you out, with any issues you may expereince.

~ But please do realise in advance.... that I refuse to be held accountable, for the choices YOU make for your puppy ~

Dr. John B. Armstrong "All dogs (and living organisms) are carriers
of multiple mutations. If a genetic disease is produced in an animal,
it is not necessarily the result of poor breeding practices,
but is the nature of inheritance as a random event.
There is no such thing as a perfect animal". (Mutt, Designer breed or Purebred)

I would be remiss if I did not remind the public, that there is no Mutt, Designer Breed
or Purebred or lines of Poodles, or colour of Poodles
that are free of disease or "issues", however Bijou Poodles does hope by intelligent
breeding practices and participating in the development of
DNA tests and using ALL the most current Health Testing and screening tools that are available
AND as they become available and using only healthy Poodles in our program,
for GENERATIONS, that we stand the best chance at producing the healthiest pups available,
acknowledging that we are still at the mercy of mother nature, and current day exposures
or as one person adequately said, "sometimes shit just happens"


IF YOUR PUPPY IS FOUND TO HAVE ANY HEALTH CONCERNS WITHIN THE FIRST MONTHS
PLEASE RETURN OUR PUPPY TO US !!
Please do not struggle in silence or blindly trust a Veterinarian (ask questions).
You purchased from a long time, respected Breeder, so let me be there for our puppy.

We completely understand the appeal of a health guarantee, and it’s something we’ve given a lot of thought to.
Ultimately, as of 2026 we’ve chosen not to offer one because so much of a dog’s long-term health is influenced
by factors outside of our control once they leave us—such as diet, environment, veterinary care, exposures, and lifestyle.
Instead, we focus on what we can control: setting every puppy up for lifelong success.
Our breeding dogs undergo extensive OFA and DNA health testing, are vet-checked, and are proven in both structure
and temperament through CKC and AKC Grand Championship titles, as well as obtaining many various Dog Sport Titles.
Additionally, we keep a puppy from each breeding, which means we are fully invested
in the long-term outcome of every pairing we produce.
Our puppies are raised with great care—on high-quality nutrition,
with a mindful approach to vaccines and minimal exposure to toxins—giving them the strongest,
healthiest start possible. We believe all the above give each puppy the best possible start toward a healthy, long life.
We are always here as a resource for our puppy families and are committed to supporting you throughout your dog’s life.
