We require a verbal contact with any prospective buyer, prior to approving a home or accepting a deposit. Upon receiving a Puppy Application, we are willing to make the first attempt to make verbal contact. It is the responsibility of the applicant to make any other attempts.

Once a verbal agreement has been made, we will wait 3-5 business days on a deposit before returning a puppy to available status. We are not willing to hold puppies with out deposits. Once a puppy has been picked and a deposit is received, weekly pictures and updates will be sent of your puppy so you can watch him/her grow.

Deposits are $300 on Limited AKC registration and $500.00 for puppies on full AKC registration which can be paid in 2 increments 2- 3 weeks apart . We rarely give full registration on our puppies. All pet puppies are sold on limited AKC registration with spay/neuter contracts. We require that all pet puppies be spayed/neutered by 8 months of age NO EXCEPTIONS. We require veterinarian confirmation that the puppy has been altered. We take our contracts very seriously. We hold limited AKC registration papers until we receive proof that the puppy has been altered. Once we receive proof from a licensed veterinarian we mail your limited AKC registration papers to you via Postal Mail. If we do not receive confirmation by the required 8 months of age that the said puppy has in fact been altered health guarantee will become completely void & We reserve the right to remove the puppy from the buyers possession/premiss by any means necessary , with no refund of the purchase price or cost of damages to the breeder.
When purchasing a puppy from Serenity Great Danes , we require that the buyer keep us updated and send photos on a regular basis. Your Health Guarantee and any contract agreement may be voided, if you do not keep us updated on your puppy.
We have a PUPPY RETURN POLICY in our contract. If for any reason the buyer is unable or is no longer willing to care for their Serenity puppy/dog, it must be returned to Serenity Great Danes with no cost to the breeder in any way along with its AKC registration /certificate, this is so we can find proper placement and keep our puppies off the streets and out of shelters, if you wish to place your puppy/dog in a new home on your own then you must have my prior written consent and you must provide me with all new buyers information. health guarantee is valid for original purchaser only unless puppy returned is placed by me.
