This companion puppy is priced at $1650.00. This would include a $300.00 deposit due at the time of reservation and $150.00 which will be collected for taxes, health certificate, final AKC Limited Registration and AKC Reunite Microchip enrollment. The remaining balance of $1350.00 is due before, or at the time that, the owner or transporter takes possession of the puppy.  The deposit is non-refundable but applicable to any Beagle that is available for up to 18 months from submission.

Age Requirement and Holding a Puppy - Any puppy over 8 weeks old, who has had its final evaluation; veterinary examination and a health certificate issued, will be ready to join its new family immediately. Though early placement is best for a puppy during this critical developmental age, we are happy to hold the puppy for an additional 14 days past initial reservation/purchase at no additional cost in order to arrange pick-up or transportation. If you require the puppy to stay with me for a longer period of time, it must be paid for in advance and an additional boarding fee of $7.50 per day.

Seven Day Trial Period - If you decide to return your Beagle for any reason, within 7 days after possession, we will refund your purchase price minus your deposit.  Your deposit would still remain active, and able to be applied to another Beagle, within the 18 month period from the date of receipt. Return is the full responsibility of the purchaser.

Twenty-Four Month Genetic Health Guarantee​ - This Beagle is covered for a period of 24 months, from the date of birth, for any genetic issues that would require ongoing veterinary care, regular treatment and prevent your dog from living a normal and pain free life. This guarantee : 

• Does not transfer to any new owner.

• Does not cover issues due to : Physical injury; excessive weight gain/obesity; digestion of large amounts of food/water or objects that cause intestinal issues; chronic or standard infections; allergies; swellings and other reactions due to external or internal parasites. 

• Does not cover corrective procedures for : Cherry eye, retained testicles or tooth/bite misalignment corrections. These are rare issues that the environment can contribute to, and we are not able to tell the future and determine if they will be present. These will not impact the ability of your Beagle puppy to be a wonderful family companion.

• Is not valid if your Beagle has been neutered before 12 months of age. Early neutering has been scientifically proven to be highly detrimental to the overall health. Please read below.

• Is not valid if your Beagle has been allowed to reproduce.

Please contact me first if you have any health concerns about your Beagle.  Not only would I like to be kept informed as to any health issues, especially as they pertain to genetics, but I can provide guidance which may save you time and money.

If the family companion (AKC limited registration) Beagle is found by a specialist to have a condition that meets the guarantee criteria, we will credit the clinic up to the purchase price of the puppy for a current bill or future care.

Early neutering is detrimental to your Beagles health - Neutering prior to their first year of age disrupts proper hormonal processes. Removing the hormone generating organs of the body too early will impact other essential growth processes. There is an increased risk of incontinence; aggressive cancers; orthopedic disease; cruciate rupture, cardiac hemangiosarcoma; increased obesity; thyroid issues; negative reactions to vaccines; increased anxiety and aggression. This guarantee will NOT be valid if you decide to neuter your Beagle before it has reached the age of one year.

IF YOU DO NOT NEUTER YOUR BEAGLE AND REMAIN ON TLC WHOLE LIFE FOOD THROUGH 12 MONTHS OF AGE, WE WILL EXTEND YOUR HEALTH CERTIFICATE FOR ANOTHER FULL YEAR.

Breeding and Reproduction - It is agreed that this Beagle puppy is being sold as a family companion only on AKC Limited Registration and will not be allowed to reproduce.  

Lifetime Placement Assistance - If you are no longer able to keep or house your Beagle, we will take it back, regardless of age or condition, and locate a loving home. Owner agrees that this Beagle will never be euthanized and will not be surrendered to any organization or individual as a “rescue”. You agree that if you decide to re-home this Beagle without my assistance that you will screen the home fully. You agree to do your part to protect its future well-being and ensure it will not reproduce. You agree that you are not purchasing this Beagle for intentional resale, re-homing or breeding or any kind.

Agreeing to Proper Care - This puppy will be given a complete veterinary exam, a fecal test with negative result, be dewormed by our veterinarian and issued a health certificate stating it is in excellent health before joining your family.  You agree that you will provide this Beagle with the required and ongoing veterinary care; vaccinations and parasite control to ensure it remains healthy. That it will be provided with fresh water; quality food and a climate controlled home that will provide love, proper socialization, attention and safety as well as emergency veterinary care if needed.

Repossession and Return - I, or a representative, have the right to repossess this canine​ if I have proof that the Beagle has been abused; neglected or mistreated mentally or physically; is in any way in physical danger or in need of immediate veterinary care or proper housing. The owner will be responsible for all expenses related to the repossession and physical seizure of the Beagle; transportation; legal fees and veterinary costs. Accidents happen but willful neglect is not tolerated. In all cases of repossession, sale or physical return the owner agrees to provide signed AKC registration papers, or a statement, turning sole ownership over to Alayne Rae Mullen.

All Questions or Concerns Pertaining to Your Beagle - All general questions about your puppies well being; training and care should be directed to us but we are not veterinarians. We will always do our best to assist you through our personal experiences, but if there are health concerns about your puppy, as it pertains to their health certificate, that must be addressed veterinarian to veterinarian only to obtain the best results and understanding.

Contract, Payment, Registration/Enrollment and Pet Insurance - By signing this agreement you are agreeing : 

• That funds issued for the deposit and purchase of this puppy are available and will not be backed out or reclaimed after sale and possession

• That all information, which is publicly available on the website or provided by email, has been reviewed and agreed upon before a deposit was submitted.

• That you are giving me, Alayne Rae Mullen, permission to complete the AKC puppy registration and AKC Reunite microchip enrollment on your behalf.

• That the official AKC registered name will begin with the prefix “Lane Rae’s”. The name can be as simple as “Lane Rae’s Riley Jones'' or as complicated as “Lane Rae’s Sir Riley of Black Forest”. 

• That if you do not provide an AKC registered name within 30 days of possession, that Alayne Rae Mullen has the right to complete the registrations and enrollments with a name she chooses.
