Premium puppies are chosen by us prior to regular pups. Premium puppies are trained to bring out hunting and pointing instinct, become accustomed to gunfire, and to prepare for advanced training as hunting dogs. Class size is limited so that pups receive intensive conditioning. Premium puppies are intended for serious hunting and field trial homes only.  

Sequoia Kennels accepts a limited number of dogs for training by our trainer. Kenneling fee of $15 per day and training fee of $15 a day must be paid monthly and in advance. After evaluation by our trainer, a training and kenneling contract must be signed. All dogs accepted for training must have current vaccinations and a health clearance by our veterinarian.

All buyers must make application by filling in the information requested and emailing the entire document, including the policies, back to us, this includes the California Pedigree Disclosure below. By your emailing of these documents to us you are agreeing that you have read them, understand, and agree with them. California law requires the disclosure. When an application is accepted a PayPal invoice will be sent for your use.

Our dogs are guaranteed against genetic heart defects and Canine Hip Dysplasia, up until three years of age. We recommend OFA certification of hips and elbows at 2-years of age. We require that a licensed veterinarian certify that the health problem is genetic in origin and reserve the right to have a second opinion by a veterinarian of our choice. If hips receive an OFA certification as "poor", and after veterinary diagnosis, we will refund the full purchase price of your dog upon proof of spay/neuter. You may keep your dog and the refund. Alternatively, if necessary, the purchaser may return the dog for a replacement with another one from the next available litter. Dogs that develop hip or other joint problems due to overuse syndromes are excluded from guarantee. All veterinary costs are the responsibility of the purchaser unless and until the dog is returned for refund to Sequoia Kennels.

We guarantee that the dog is healthy and bred to preserve true breed-type, ability, and temperament. Purchaser may return a dog for a refund if the puppy becomes ill up to 15 days after pick up. Purchaser must take puppy to a veterinarian and must have adhered to the puppy's diet. Puppies should not go to dog parks, schoolyards, public parks, or places that have been frequented by unhealthy dogs until they have had all recommended puppy vaccinations. Should the dog be returned to us for any veterinarian certified health reason, (other than digestive upsets due to diet change, accidental poisoning, accidents, or other owner preventable health problems), within 15 days following purchase, the purchaser will then be entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price. If the illness is related to our facilities, we will pay the vet costs at a veterinarian of our choice. We do not guarantee against fleas, mites, or intestinal parasites once a dog is taken outside our kennel. New owners should follow their veterinarian advice regarding health regimes that will decrease the potential for these health issues. If your puppy becomes ill within 15 days from the day you receive it, you must call us immediately. All veterinary costs are the responsibility of the purchaser unless and until the dog is returned to Sequoia Kennels. Dogs that have developed health problems due to obesity, neglect and accident, misuse, or overuse syndromes are excluded from guarantee.

The purchaser agrees to maintain the dog in a humane environment and to properly train, socialize, and care for it. The dog will also be properly licensed and inoculated against communicable diseases and parasites as recommended by a qualified veterinarian.

Owners are expected to pick up their dog on selection day or at the end of training. We will hold a selected puppy or trained puppy for one week free of charge if needed. After a week, a boarding fee of $15 a day will be charged.

We are experienced with shipping puppies to any location in the USA. When possible we will ship your puppy on a late night flight so that it will arrive at your airport in the morning. We ship using Continental Puppy Pack program or Delta Airlines. Costs include shipping crate, crate bowls, health certificate, airline cargo charge, and round-trip delivery to Sacramento airport including fuel and driver fee (These costs add approximately.$500 to the purchase) Shipping charges and health certification are the responsibility of the purchaser and are not refundable for any reason. Should a replacement puppy be required for a certified health reason, up to the fifteen day health guarantee date, Sequoia Kennels will pay the shipment of both the returned puppy and the replacement shipping.

The purchaser agrees to notify the breeder if unable to provide an appropriate home for the dog, and will not abandon the dog to a shelter or give the dog away without notifying the breeder. If the dog is to be sold, the purchaser must give the breeder the right of first refusal. Should circumstances prevent continued ownership, the breeder will assist any owner of a Sequoia Kennels dog in finding a new home if necessary, including placing information we deem appropriate about the dog on our website. If the dog is returned for other than health reasons, or after fifteen days of ownership, refund is subject to resale of the dog and less the cost of advertising necessary to resell the dog. AKC and Avid registration must be released prior to refund payment. We are committed to providing continuing support to Sequoia dog owners.
