​​A simple overview of what you’re agreeing to when you reserve a puppy from Bertana Sheepadoodles

​

1. Reserving Your Puppy

• Your puppy is reserved once you sign the Offer and pay the non‑refundable deposit

• Until the deposit is received, the puppy may still be offered to other approved families

• We hold your puppy until the agreed pickup or transport date

 

2. Payments

• Deposit: non‑refundable, payable after week 3-4 puppy allocations

• Final balance: due before pickup or transport

• Transport: buyer pays all transport costs

• Transported puppies: final payment must be made 3 days before travel

 

3. Pet‑Only Sale (No Breeding)

Your puppy is sold as a pet only, not for breeding. This means:

• no intentional or accidental breeding

• no breeding programs

• desexing is required

• proof of desexing must be provided when requested

Breeding is a major breach of contract triggering penalties and potential legal action.

 

4. Your Responsibilities

You agree to:

• provide proper food, water, shelter, grooming, and vet care

• train and socialise your puppy

• keep them safe and secure

• follow local council and state laws

If you can’t keep your dog at any point in their life, they must come back to us — never rehomed, gifted or taken to a shelter or pound.

 

5. Health & Vet Care

Your puppy comes with:

• age‑appropriate vaccinations

• microchipping

• parasite prevention

• a vet health check

You must take your puppy to your own vet within 72 hours of receiving them. We provide a health guarantee for serious hereditary or congenital conditions diagnosed within the first 12-24months.

 

6. Behaviour & Training

Puppies need:

• consistent training

• socialisation

• structure

• enrichment

Whilst we breed for temperament and our dogs are temperament tested, we can’t guarantee adult behaviour — this is shaped and influenced by your environment and training.

 

7. Transport (If Applicable)

• Transport rules depend on the airline or road carrier

• Buyer covers transport costs

• We provide all required paperwork

• Payment must be completed 3 days before travel

 

8. Legal Summary

• The Offer becomes binding when you sign it and pay the deposit

• The Sales Agreement becomes binding when both parties sign

• The laws of your state or territory apply, along with Australian Consumer Law

• The Offer and Sales Agreement together form the full contract

 

In short…

We raise your puppy with care, health, and love. You commit to giving pup a safe, responsible, lifelong home. If anything changes, they come back to us. Breeding is not permitted. The contract is legally binding.

​

Any puppy purchased under false pretense, misrepresentations, untruths, and/or withholding of critical information will void the contract resulting in penalties and pursued through legal channels.
