Refund & Return Policy | Doberman Puppy Reservation Terms
At Doberman Highlands, we’re committed to helping you find the perfect Doberman companion. Every puppy we raise is a reflection of our care, health testing, and ethical breeding practices. Because we work with live animals, our refund and return policy is carefully designed to ensure fairness to both our customers and the well-being of our puppies.
This page outlines our policies regarding deposits, cancellations, refunds, and returns.

📌 Deposit & Reservation Policy
To reserve a Doberman puppy from an upcoming or available litter, we require a non-refundable deposit.
• 💰 Standard deposit amount: $500 (applied toward total purchase price)
• 📆 Deposits secure your place in the picking order
• ✅ Puppies are matched based on temperament, family needs, and preferences
Why is the deposit non-refundable?
Your deposit helps us plan for your puppy’s care and commits us to holding that puppy for you, removing it from availability for other families.
⸻
❌ Refund Policy
Because we deal with live animals and commit time, resources, and veterinary care to each puppy, all sales are final once the puppy leaves our care.
🔒 No refunds will be issued in the following situations:
• Change of mind after reserving or purchasing
• Failure to pick up or accept delivery
• Allergies, schedule conflicts, or housing issues
• Disputes unrelated to the puppy’s health
⸻
🩺 Health Guarantee Exceptions
All our Doberman puppies come with a written health guarantee, which covers serious genetic conditions within the specified time period (typically 1–2 years depending on contract terms).
If a licensed veterinarian diagnoses a covered genetic issue within the guarantee window:
• We may offer a replacement puppy from a future litter
• Or, in rare cases, issue a partial refund at our discretion
⸻
🔁 Return Policy for Doberman Puppies
We understand life circumstances can change. While we do not offer refunds, we care deeply about the well-being of our puppies.
If you can no longer keep your Doberman:
• We require that you contact us first
• We may assist with re-homing or request the puppy/dog be returned to us
• No money will be refunded upon return
We do not support shelter surrenders. Responsible ownership includes ensuring your Doberman stays safe, even if that means returning them to us.
