How to Purchase your Rancho Santiago Catahoula

WE HOPE YOU DO NOT GET LEFT OUT ... OUR PUPPIES SELL FAST.

How to reserve your pup from a litter

At times our pups are in such demand that all of the pups are sold before being born. If you wish to ensure that you get one of our truly better Catahoula pups reserve yours today.

Of course, you do not have to make a deposit and may choose to take your time to see what pups are available at the weaning age of five weeks.

Reservation payments are nonrefundable due to the fact that other buyers will have been turned away if a puppy has been reserved only for you. Our chance for a sale will have been lost.

The order in which a buyer chooses their pup is decided by:

1. The buyer with the first full payment of $500.00 received in the ranch office gets the first puppy choice from the litter. The next full payment received will have the second choice from the litter by date of receipt of their payment and so on.

2. Next in line for puppy choice after the full payments are the buyers making their ½ of the total $500.00 payment of $250.00. Persons making their ½ deposit are aligned in position of choice based on the date of the receipt of payment. Total payment is to be made before your pup leaves Rancho Santiago.

3. Choice of your puppy will be made in order of receipt of payment. Deadline for buyers to make their puppy choice will be by the pup's 4th week of age. If a buyer elects to make no choice they will moved down the line of choice to enable the other buyers to go ahead and make travel arrangements and pick their puppy from the litter.

Transportation is not provided

Transportaion is not provided. We are available to assist in transport arrangements.

Paid up and then do not like the pup then what happens

If you are a buyer that has paid in full for a pup in a litter & that individual doesn't catch your eye, then you may decide to make your final selection from the next litter. Your money is held. If no pup is selected from the second litter the buyer forfits the payment & the deal is vacated.

We look forward to meeting you and sharing our great line of Catahoulas with you.

At Rancho Santiago

Why a nonrefundable 1/2 or of the total payment of the pup's price?

... because this pup will be removed from the market and held only for you as the buyer. Your puppy will not be sold to anyone else for any price.

If a buyer makes a $250.00 deposit or full payment of $500.00 nonrefundable total payment for Rancho Santiago to remove a dog from market and chooses to not complete the purchase agreement with total payment and pickup of their dog then Rancho Santiago'ss opportunity to sell the pup will have been lost because potential buyers will have moved on to purchase another dog.

If for unforeseen special circumstances occur and a buyer cannot complete the purchase of their pup that has been reserved, then that money will can be used to buy a pup from the next available litter. After passing on two litters the money is forfeited to the seller.

Weaned puppies will be ready to pick up when 6 weeks old.

When shipping a pup the shipping costs and payment in full is due from the buyer before the puppy leaves Rancho Santiago. When picking up your puppy at Rancho Santiago the full payment is due before leaving the ranch. It is difficult to ship dogs from our area therefore we prefer you or your representative pick up your new Catahoula at the ranch located near Lubbock, Texas at Dickens, Texas.

This puppy on the right is 16 weeks old

... do you think he is tough enough to make a hog dog like his parents?
