Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 1, 2025

OVERVIEW

This website is operated by Stokeshire Designer Doodles (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing our site or purchasing a puppy, product, or service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), along with all additional policies linked herein or available on our website.

If you do not agree, you may not use our site or services. Continued use of our website or submission of a deposit constitutes acceptance of these Terms and all incorporated policies.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

  • You affirm that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province.

  • You agree not to use our services for any illegal purpose or to violate any laws.

  • We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time.

ACCURACY & MODIFICATIONS

While we strive for accuracy, content may not always be complete or current. We reserve the right to modify offerings, pricing, or policies without notice. Any reliance on site content is at your own risk.

PRODUCTS, SERVICES & EXPECTATIONS

  • Puppies and services like Doodle School or transport are offered based on availability.

  • We cannot guarantee exact outcomes in size, coat, color, or temperament, as natural variation is inherent.

  • Sales may be limited by person, region, or other factors at our discretion.

PAYMENTS & FEES

  • Transactions by credit or debit card include a processing fee of 2.9% plus $0.30.

  • All deposits, including those paid before or after conception, are non-refundable and non-transferable unless explicitly provided for in our policies.

  • The full balance must be paid at least 72 hours before your puppy’s go-home date, or your spot may be forfeited.

SELECTION & BREEDER RIGHTS

  • Any puppy chosen during Pick Day or prior is provisional only and secured only upon checkout in proper waitlist order.

  • We maintain Breeder’s Choice, which means we may retain or place any puppy at our discretion for breeding, guardian homes, or program considerations.

  • Final placement decisions rest solely with us to ensure the best match for each puppy and family.

NO GUARANTEES ON SPECIFIC TRAITS

We do not guarantee that any puppy will meet specific size, coat, color, or personality expectations. By proceeding, you accept these natural variations.

INCORPORATED POLICIES

These Terms incorporate by reference and are governed by the following policies, each of which forms part of your agreement with us:

Deposit, Refund & Reservation Policy

Your deposit secures your place on our waitlist. Deposits are 90% refundable if you cancel before breeding occurs, and become non-refundable after breeding (which is when a live cover or artificial insemination has been confirmed by vet or breeder records).
Deposits are transferable to a future litter for up to 24 months, if requested in writing before your selection day, and are subject to availability. Sales tax is non-refundable, as it is immediately remitted to the State of Wisconsin. The remaining balance on your puppy must be paid at least 72 hours before your scheduled go-home date.

Pick of the Litter (POL) Policy

The Pick of the Litter upgrade is a non-refundable, non-transferable fee that gives you priority selection. However, we still reserve the right to hold back any puppy for our breeding program, guardian homes, or health needs — a process called Breeder’s Choice. If your stated preferences cannot be met with the remaining puppies, we may allow a transfer to the next qualifying litter or issue a refund at our sole discretion.

Returns & Rehoming Policy

If you ever find yourself unable to keep your dog, we ask that you contact us immediately. We will always accept a dog back into our care, regardless of age or circumstance, to ensure they never end up in a shelter. While we do not offer refunds on returned dogs, in rare cases returned within 30 days and in healthy condition, we may issue partial credit minus applicable fees. Unauthorized rehoming may result in legal action or reclaim of the dog.

Health Guarantee & Purchase Contract

We stand behind the health of our puppies. If a licensed veterinarian confirms a congenital or life-limiting genetic issue within the warranty period, we may offer a replacement puppy or refund up to the original purchase price. This requires two independent vet reports. Cosmetic traits like ear set, coat curl, size, or color are not covered. Buyers are responsible for routine vet care, vaccinations, and keeping their puppy on a recommended diet.
