PURCHASE INFORMATION
Application/Screening Process
Often, it is helpful for prospective owners to complete a questionnaire to help both you and us to determine whether your personal situation, lifestyle, and preferences are compatible with a specific puppy. If you choose to, you can complete our adoption application which will give us a basis for discussing your needs and preferences in choosing your next pet.
Pricing
Puppies are priced individually depending on their sex, markings, and overall quality. Generally, females are slightly higher than males because they are in greater demand. Please call or e-mail for price quotes on specific puppies pictured in this site which are not specified. We accept the following payment methods: Credit cards are accepted through paypal with a 5% admin fee added to the final cost, personal checks are accepted for the holding and confirmation deposit, cash or credit card via paypal is requested for the final payment. A $50.00 fee will be charged to any customers whose check is returned for non sufficient funds or stop payment orders and will be handled via magistrate if necessary.
Registration
We reserve the right to offer limited or full registration. Full registration must be discussed and approved before a deposit is placed on a puppy. We also reserve the right to decline the sale of a puppy for whatever reason we see necessary for the best interest of the puppy. We are registered breeders with both AKC and APRI. When you receive your puppy, you will be provided with registration papers for your puppy from one of the two registry services depending upon which one their parents are registered with.

You will be given a written, signed contract at the time of your purchase. The Breeder name on your contract will depend on which litter your puppy was born. We are a family business of Mother and two daughters operating as one business, however; each has their own registered Breeder name. Your contract will identify the Breeder as either Mary's Mountain Bichons, Chenille Chateau Bichons, or Sunset Valley Bichons.
In order to qualify for the health guarantee, you must comply with the terms of the contract, which includes taking the puppy to a veterinarian for an initial health check, and providing proof of vaccination according to the schedule specified in your contract. Please email us with any questions related to the health guarantee. We guarantees this puppy to be free of all Communicable disease for a period of 10 days from the date of sale on this Pet Record. Mary's Mountain Bichons also guarantee this puppy to be free of Genetic Defects that make the puppy not suitable for the purpose of a *family pet* until the puppy reaches One year of age. Buyer understands that the following slight genetic defects are not considered serious or life threatening and therefore are not covered: umbilical hernia, undescended testicle, innocent heart murmur, under bite or overbite.

If this puppy displays any indication of poor health you must notify me by the 10th day following purchase to make a claim for a replacement puppy. If your puppy is very sick or has a congenital defect found by your vet, you will return him/her to the seller (at buyers expense) with the registration papers and you must obtain and submit a written statement from your vet, on office stationary and signed by him/her for our records, stating health risk and to include a description of the symptoms supporting his/her opinion to validate this guarantee. Any vet bills incurred to diagnose or repair a problem will be the responsibility of the buyer unless arrangements have been made or approved prior to treatment. Failure to do this will cause this contract to be null & void.
