Our Policies

We are not a pet store, an amusement park, a zoo or a tourist attraction! We do not do "kennel tours". We do not have a kennel. Our dogs live in our home and we do not have "facilities". Visits are strictly limited to individuals seriously interested in a particular dog that is available (and not spoken for and ready to go) and only after we have reviewed an application and have had a phone conversation. In most cases, a refundable deposit is required to hold your puppy/dog
Again, we do not have kennel facilities and our dogs live in our home. We are therefore not able to implement proper COVID safety protocols in our home and visits/pick ups will be front hall/front porch/front yard pick ups until further notice. Thanks in advance, for understanding!
For disease prevention and for the health of our dogs/puppies, we do not accept any visitors when we have un-vaccinated puppies, pregnant mothers, or females in season (who are to be bred). To compensate for this, we have a separate website for our "puppy parents" where we update pictures and/or videos approximately every 7-10 days (as per our schedule allows), so that prospective owners can see their puppies grow. We also have a Care Guide, a puppy diary (where we post developmental milestones, updates, etc.) and other valuable care and training information to help you prepare for your puppy. Remember, we're looking after your puppy and are acting in their best interest!
We maintain paid waiting lists. Our Boston Terrier waiting list deposit is $500 ($200 is non-refundable) and our Boxer waiting list deposit is $300 ($120 is non-refundable).
Our waiting list is intended for individuals who want a puppy specifically from us and is not intended to be used as a "place holder" (i.e. getting on all breeder's waiting lists and taking the first puppy that becomes available). However, if one changes their mind and does not wish to remain on our list, $300 of the Boston Waiting List deposit and $180 of the Boxer Waiting List Deposit is refundable.
Waiting List and Puppy Deposits will only be accepted after an application has been approved and there has been a successful phone conversation with the prospective owner.
When prospective puppy parents come to pick up their puppies, they will have the opportunity to meet us, our dogs and ask questions. Prospective puppy parents reserve the right to decline the puppy and either put all the deposit toward a pup from the next litter(s) or if they choose they no longer want a puppy from us, they will receive all of their payments made back, minus $200 (Bostons) or $120 (Boxers) for our time, etc.
Individuals on our waiting list receive first opportunity to adopt puppies/dogs that become available, prior to them being posted on our website as available. Individuals whom have paid the $500(Bostons)/$300(Boxers) Waiting List Deposit would then submit a $1000(Bostons)/$700(Boxers) Puppy Deposit once puppies are born and we have a puppy available.
We do not have a deferred payment plan and the puppy must be paid for in full at the time of adoption. If we need to hold a puppy longer to facilitate payments, we can work with prospective puppy parents if we know at the time of reservation.
Puppies are ready to go at 9 weeks or later, at our discretion, as per our schedule, when our schedule allows. Puppies to be held until a future date (regardless of the reason) will incur a boarding fee of $12/day.
Bedford Reg'd has the right/opportunity to decline ownership to anyone for any reason. Submitting a deposit does not guarantee a "sale". We do not sell to backyard breeders, puppy mills, brokers, pet stores or large commercial breeders. Our pet pups are placed on non-breeding agreements and spay/neuter contracts.
Our pups are placed on Spay/Neuter Contracts. Once Puppies have been spayed/neutered and we receive adequate proof of spay/neuter (as per contract), we will transfer full and sole ownership to the puppy parent.
We do not sell our puppies as gifts. Meaning, we do not sell our pups to put under the Christmas tree or for a person outside of one's household. If a family plans and agrees on a puppy prior to adoption and one wants to surprise their children, etc. that is different.
We do not sell to "minors"
Our puppies are not for resale! If you cannot keep your puppy/dog or any reason, they have to come back to Bedford Reg'd (unless suitable arrangements can be made with our approval).
Shipping is possible to select homes, on a climate control carrier by air, or possibly ground transportation at the Buyer's expense. An airport delivery fee of $150 in addition to shipping costs, crate, etc. applies.
"Pet Nanny" services (accompanied delivery) are available - pricing to be determined and contingent on location, time etc.
We accept email money transfer, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Pay Pal and Debit*

**We do not accept cheques/checks of any kind, for any reason and due to fraudulent bills, we prefer to not accept cash. Sorry!**
