Thank you for your interest in a puppy from William’s Pure breed Border Collie’s. To reserve a puppy, a deposit is required. Please read the following policy carefully before submitting a deposit.


Puppy Deposits

All puppy deposits are used to reserve a specific puppy or secure placement on a waiting list. Deposits demonstrate a buyer’s commitment and allow us to plan responsibly for each litter.

All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE, except under the limited circumstances outlined below.

Deposits cannot be transferred to another person, household, or breeder under any circumstances.


Reservation Terms

Once a deposit is placed:

  • The puppy is removed from availability

  • The buyer agrees to complete the remaining balance by the agreed-upon date

  • The buyer agrees to all terms outlined in our Puppy Contract and Health Guarantee

Failure to complete payment or pick up the puppy by the agreed date—without prior written approval—may result in forfeiture of the deposit.


Refund & Replacement Exceptions (Live Animal Disclaimer)

Because puppies are live animals, circumstances beyond human control may occur. While deposits are generally non-refundable, the following exceptions apply:

  • If a puppy becomes unavailable due to illness, injury, or death prior to placement, the buyer may choose:

    • A transfer of the deposit to a future litter, or

    • A refund at the breeder’s discretion

  • If a licensed veterinarian confirms a serious congenital or genetic condition prior to placement that prevents the puppy from being placed, the buyer will be offered:

    • A replacement puppy of equal value, or

    • A deposit transfer to a future litter

No refunds or replacements will be issued for changes of mind, lifestyle changes, housing issues, landlord restrictions, allergies, or personal circumstances.


Live Animal Legal Disclaimer

By placing a deposit, the buyer acknowledges and agrees that:

  • Puppies are living beings whose development, appearance, temperament, size, coat, markings, and energy levels may change as they mature

  • No guarantees are made regarding adult size, color, working ability, show potential, or temperament beyond general breed standards

  • Stress, environmental changes, diet, training, and veterinary care all play a significant role in a puppy’s long-term health and behavior

Once a puppy leaves our care, responsibility for the puppy’s wellbeing transfers to the buyer, subject to the terms of our Health Guarantee.


Deposit Forfeiture

Deposits will be forfeited if:

  • The buyer fails to complete the purchase

  • The buyer does not communicate within agreed timelines

  • The buyer breaches contract terms

  • The buyer no longer wishes to proceed for personal reasons

Deposits are not transferable to another individual or household under any circumstances.
