Precautions are taken in relation to protecting the security and well being of our animals, and your new puppy.

Hidden Valley Cavoodles reserves the right to:

Hold viewings from 8 weeks only
Request a $1,000 deposit to reserve a specific puppy. This is non refundable based on change of mind. However, if something such as an illness or injury occurs with the puppy before pick up of your puppy, Hidden Valley Cavoodles will refund your deposit
Disclose pick up address until 2 days before pickup. This reduces the risk of trespassing and theft of animals.

Viewing of Intellectual Property

i.e. Genetic testing; animal records

Precautions are taken in relation to protecting the security of our business, and that of the breeding industry against improper use of intellectual property.

This includes genetic test results and animal records.
Hidden Valley Cavoodles reserves the right to:

Provide a copy of genetic test results and / or animal records on the day of pick up for sighting only.
Refuse the sharing of genetic results and animals records electronically. This is to prevent fraudulent use of intellectual property belonging to Hidden Valley Cavoodles.

For Interstate Travel

In the event of interstate travel requirements are as follows:

Hidden Valley Cavoodles releases 100% responsibility of the welfare of animal to Purchaser. A fit to fly/travel certificate, signed by a qualified BVSc certifies that upon leaving us, the condition of the puppy is in good health. It is therefore at the risk of the Purchaser that the puppy mixes with other animals without having had all appropriate vaccinations. This includes injury in transit.

The 3 day 50% refund is obsolete in the case of courier and flight services. If Purchaser changes their mind they may return the puppy at their own expense, with the provision of a new fit to fly certificate by a registered BVSc. A refund of 50% will be provided upon the puppy returning to Hidden Valley Cavoodles along with the puppy pack and after a 10 day quarantine holding to ensure puppy is free of illness from courier and airline services.

All payment, including courier costs (if arranged and booked by Hidden Valley Cavoodles) is to be cleared before the puppy leaves Hidden Valley Cavoodles premises.

The Purchaser will receive relevant paperwork for their puppy in the mail on receipt of payment.

By placing a reservation deposit, purchaser is agreeing to these terms and conditions
