Rules & Policies

Breeding/Puppy Policies: Here at Wanderlust Kennels, I take each breeding very seriously. My goal here is to improve the breed as much as possible. Before each breeding, I check to make sure the male counters any of the female's flaws, and vis versa. I make sure that each breeding prediction fits the breed standards. Once a breeding is confirmed you can expect the litter within three to four days. At this time, I am won't be open for reservations, which means you have to wait until the litter is born, to buy a puppy. 1st pick (also known as POL) stays here, unless I say otherwise. The puppies will stay at our nursery until they are a 1 year old. After the puppies have raised to their final genetic score, & have been entered in a couple shows, I will determine if the puppy is of show/breeding quality. At this time, I will retain the pups i'd like to keep for myself, and the remaining puppies will be available for a limited time only. Any puppy not sold within 10-14 days will be altered, so act fast.

Sale Policies: Before selling a puppy/dog I require that you keep my tag "Wanderlust" in the dogs name until he/she passes. Anybody seen removing my tag from a dog they purchased directly from us, will not be able to purchase another Wanderlust Shetland Sheepdog ever again. I ensure you, all dogs that are not bred by Wanderlust Kennels, will keep their original tags. If you buy a dog from us which we did not breed, feel free to remove our tag, but if we bred the dog, it is required to keep our tag in the name. Secondly, you must never allow that dog to go to the shelter. We work way too hard to produce quality dogs for them to end up at the shelter. If we find that a dog that we have sold you has ended up in the shelter without any reasonable excuse, you will not be able to purchase another dog from us again. Also, please do not bargain with prices. We price our dogs at a reasonable price for what we think is fair, so please don't ask me to lower them. Another thing, If you do decided to purchase a "SHOW QUALITY" puppy, I require you enter the dog in shows at least 2-3 times a week. I hate seeing a perfectly good show dog without any titles. I personally like to show my dogs everyday if I can, so you should be able to get in a couple shows a week. Finally, Once you have conacted me about purchasing a pup, I will personally check out your kennel, and let you know if your going to be a proud new owner of Wanderlust Shetland Sheepdog puppy. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me.

Buy-back Policy: If you decide that you no longer want/or are unable to care for your Wanderlust Shetland Sheepdog, we require that you either find the dog a good home (make sure to contact me, when you have found a buyer), or sell the dog back to us. Unless the dog is still young (under 3 years), we will not refund your entire purchase. We will not pay more than $500 for a dog we sold to you that, you no longer want if the dog is over 4 years old (but under 7 years). So, unless you found a new owner to care for the dog, you will only be refunded for what we think is fair. If the dog is no longer breedable, (over 8 years for females, over 9 years for males) we will pay no more than $250, so again unless you found a new owner to care for the dog, you will only be refunded for what we think is fair. When purchasing a Wanderlust Shetland Sheepdog puppy, you must agree to this buy-back policy. Although, we usually don't have any problems with this, because most of our buyers provide a loving forever home. But, then again in some cases -- you might quit the breed, quiting the game, no longer want the dog, can't care for the dog, need more room in your kennels, etc...
