When immediate placement is requested...if the buyer is interested in a specific Dobe that the Hoytts have presented & the Dobe will be ready for placement within a few weeks or less immediate payment is appreciated. If the Dobe is young and still requires the completion of training programs you have requested the initial payment for the classification of pup  chosen is immediately due. When time allows buyer may pay their balance in stages but this must be arranged with Mr. Hoytt and final payment will be due four weeks before delivery.

Requested or Required Future Delivery...To reserve your yet to be chosen Hoytt Dobe a deposit will be required. See: Client Discount pre-birth Program

Approximately 85 percent of all our placements are reserved either before birth or before all the planned programs have been added. Some purchasers plan on the Dobe's arrival around 'time off.' Others will be presenting the Dobe to a loved one on a special date, such as a child leaving for college or graduating, an anniversary, or as a special gift for a special person in their lives. A few know of a job transfer and want to be settled into their new home first. Some are planning on delivery around the time their contractor has promised completion of their new home ( we hold our breath on this one ).

Some of our clients may base a projected arrival on when making regular payments to the kennel their new kid will be paid for. Some folks spread the payments because we will need 12 to 18 months to create their new Hoytt Dobe. In the case of our Grand Victor graduates rarely do we have such an advanced Dobe just hanging around waiting for the right family to call so until that call is received that the kid has been selected they just send in periodic payments.

A few simply need extra time to put aside the funds necessary to purchase their Dobe. We not only will accept an order up to eighteen months in advance, we also guarantee that no price increases will be passed on to you during this period. But remember if you have the available funds be the newest member of your life one of our medically completed pups or an educated kid. If the funds are available we offer a pre-payment discount.

To Proceed...you may call in your payment using a major bank card but keep in mind we also accept Business and personal checks if it is at least 14 business days before your new Hoytt Dobe is transferred to you if you are a new member of 'our family'.  But if you are already 'family' and are personally picking the kid up, any balance paid by cash or Bank Drafts  are appreciated but your check will not be questioned if this is your preferred form of payment. 

To make a non-credit card payment quickly you can  use one of the express delivery services. If you are trying to secure a specific Dobe or there are other reasons why speed of payment is a plus read the recent transaction were speed of delivery was in fact a plus.

On November 11, 2008 a client in Vancouver Canada received confirmation that their new Hoytt Dobe had just finished her programs and could head home when convenient  for the client. All that remained was the kids medical evaluation and traveling papers. Since we did not have a shipping advance the client was asked to take care of this as soon as possible. Noon the next day a Bank Draft drawn, sent overnight to 'Dandridge' via Fed-Ex and at four the following day payment was received.

Our compliments to Fed- Ex and of course the speed at which the client took care of things at their end including remembering to convert the funds into Us dollars and the excellent handling by Fed X, the newest member of the family was booked on a flight to Seattle the morning of the seventeenth and by noon the young Hoytt Dobe gave it's new family its first kiss and of  course received its first hugs and kisses from its new family. And so beginning "happily ever after" about ten days faster than regular mail.   

The Purchase...our occupation is highly labor intensive and to maintain a dog correctly requires almost the same costs as to develop it. Also understand that your purchase today has a bearing on our breeding plans in the months ahead. For these reasons almost always certain expenses we can not recover finding a new home for the dog should you cancel or return a dog, must be in part accepted by you so unless you as the purchaser agree to accept the responsibility of these expenses we can not accept your request for a Hoytt Dobe.

For your financial safety as well as ours you will never be held responsible to the kennel for anything over the stated cost of the dog, services or supplies you have requested unless you have requested additional services. If you have changed training levels unless  you have returned your dog for added services or require a delay in delivery please check with Mr. Hoytt to confirm the cost for the added services.

If the Dobe and services selected requires more time for completion then we quoted initially the extra time/service added before placement will be at our expense - keeping our final price quote before receiving payment  the price you pay.

Cancellation or Delay of Placement Procedure
Both our breeding program as well as our service options are scheduled around on-file orders. Placement dates on new orders are based on existing contracts. Today's decision to breed a given pair of dogs is also based on projected needs and again, the existing contracts on file come into play.

In case of outright cancellation by the buyer, all monies paid in (not to exceed 25% of the total price of the dog and/or training options contracted for), will be retained by the Hoytts if cancellation is made at 30 or more days before projected delivery. If cancellation is made at 29 days or less before the projected delivery date 50% of all funds will be retained by the House of Hoytt.

The reason for these penalties is in direct relation to the support costs incurred for care and/or training maintenance of a dog until a new purchaser is found. Please remember, we are not a puppy farm, pet shop, or broker, but a private development kennel. A great deal of personal time goes into each Dobe while with us, and our commitment to your needs begins on the day your order is received. This is one of the many reasons why you have chosen the House of Hoytt and their Dobermans over the many others available.

Change of Delivery Date...if you find that you will not be able to accept the Dobe you have ordered, as scheduled, you have the option of paying a boarding fee of $25.00 per day and an additional maintenance charge for training & personal time, if the Dobe was to be purchased with one of our training courses, until you are ready for delivery. Or you may request re-selection and receive an 80 percent credit for the funds already issued to the Hoytts. A new placement date can be set at that time.

Client Investment Assurance Program

---

Every twelve months give or take seven days, the owner of a Hoytt Dobe who wishes to keep THE CLIENT INVESTMENT ASSURANCE PROGRAM active, must give a yearly Booster Shot for the primary viruses earlier outlined under First two years of Ownership. At the same time a intestinal parasite check, a heart worm check must be performed and two copies of each made, one set being held by the owner and the others being sent to the House of Hoytt following the examination.  MISSING DOCUMENTATION VOIDS ALL GUARANTEES. DOCUMENTED PROOF OF CLAIM IS OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY. Spaying or altering before HOH recommended age and without written approval from Mr. Hoytt voids all guarantees. However once approved all guarantees remain in effect. See "Advisory".

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      DISCLAIMER

The buyer is responsible for any additional health and life insurance, through a company of their choice, to cover anything that is not covered by the Hoytts in their Client Assurance Program. The Hoytts offer each of their Dobes under the condition that their liability will not exceed the amount paid to the Hoytts by the purchaser. Also, to protect your guarantees, check the Medical Health Record that is sent with your new Dobe for additional instruction. The buyer understands that any medical services preformed by a vet not part of normal yearly maintenance could void the guarantees offered by the Hoytts, i.e. surgical or pharmaceutical treatment if services being considered are not needed immediately to sustain life of guaranteed dog. If the owner of the dog wishes to protect guarantee coverage, the Hoytts must be notified by express delivery or fax to consult with their experts to confirm services to be performed do not have negative side effects. Please understand this is a service offered by the Hoytts to protect the dog. Many drugs or treatments offer only temporary satisfaction but in time can interfere with the dog's future quality of life. Check with us to be sure no negatives are already known by the Hoytts. If a Dobe is turned over to the Hoytts for re-sale, re-homing or services of any kind, the owner at the time of the dogs arrival to the kennel will be responsible for all costs incurred by the Hoytts unless the owner has received a letter of free services from Mr. Hoytt or his agent personally at the time the dog is accepted by the House of Hoytt @ 2076 Ranch Rd Dandridge Tennessee . No exceptions. A Dobe under development left past its scheduled pick up will be advanced further in training and all costs the responsibility of the party who reserved/owns the Dobe. At the Hoytts digression if a dog remains past its pick up date the Hoytts can refund any monies paid to them in advance for the dog after deducting all the unnecessary expenses caused by the purchasers delay in pick-up or costs that can not be passed on to the next purchaser refunding any differences if any to the purchaser once sold. Breeding Advisory-No Hoytt Dobe is to be bred without receiving written approval in writing from Mr. Hoytt personally.

As shown by the return of these documents either by fax, email, postal or express services followed by receipt of a partial or full payment accepted by the Hoytt's. I have hired the Hoytt's or its agents to select and complete a Dobe for me as outlined in this agreement. I also understand that the Hoytt's are placing this Dobe with me on the condition that the Hoytts liability is limited to what is stated in this agreement.

Further, I understand that if I cannot come to the kennel to personally pickup my new Hoytt Dobe, I give the Hoytts permission to act as my agent and arrange the necessary transportation to me, understanding that I accept full responsibility for all incurred expenses for my dog's travel.

After placement if you can no longer keep your Dobe & it must be re-homed

A...If you would rather sell your Hoytt Dobe we will gladly add the kid to our web site and direct those interested to you. We will let the inquirer know what programs were added before placement and even the price quote you give us...we offer this service at no charge to you for you are caring for the kid while the new parents are found. You, as the dogs owner may also be responsible for problems the next owner runs into unless you are selling the dog as is.

B...If there is a need to re-home the Hoytt Dobe immediately we will take the kid back but because we will be caring for it while trying to find it's negatives,  negatives that might not bother a previous owner but the next owner may not find pleasure in and since the returning dog is in effect a 'used' creature with gray areas, gray areas being what may have been allowed or evolved that is the perhaps even hidden from us, accidentally or purposely,  no monies will be paid back to the returning dogs owner unless arranged in writing from Mr. Hoytt, since Mr. Hoytt takes over the obligation/responsibilities again as the owner once the dog returns to the kennel.

Any payment to the party returning the dog will be made only after the dog is sold and the AKC papers and all documents related to the dog have been correctly signed and turned over to the House of Hoytt.  The owner returning their Hoytt Dobe to the kennel will be given two weeks free board from the dogs entry to make sure any AKC papers not turned over to the House of Hoytt when the dog arrived will be charged $50.00 per day until said documents are turned over to the House of Hoytt or sixty days have passed. At the end of sixty days if necessary documents have not been furnished by the returning party/owner the dog will be placed for the incurred kennel expenses having been considered abandoned by the owner, any funds not recovered by the kennel at the time of placement will be due the kennel by the party/owner who returned the dog.

 The House of Hoytt retains the right to return the dog to the party/owner who gave the dog up if the dog is found to have been misrepresented or adjust the refund. This being at the option of the person/owner who turned the dog in. This final evaluation can take up to 30 days from the dogs arrival to the kennel/House of Hoytt giving the House of Hoytt the opportunity to fully evaluate the returning canine. This protects all parties since this also gives the House of Hoytt time to be sure the returning dog was in good health. Should the House of Hoytt find a medical problem two separate clinics will be used to establish this and said documents will be furnished.

In most cases a returned Hoytt Dobe is placed with a number of special guarantees to cover possible hidden medical problems that even perhaps the past owner did not know about and the kennel would have no way of knowing. The Hoytt Dobe who has lost it's owner because an owner has passed is only available to established Hoytt Dobe owners otherwise Dobes that must be re-homed will be offered to first time homes but placement as well as value will be subject strictly to Mr. Hoytts approval. 

If you must give up your Hoytt Dobe because of financial problems contact the kennel and House of Hoytt will help you financially on the costs of returning the dog - this is however at the H.O.H. discretion.

The telephone is a great way to eliminate time and distance between buyer and seller should you have any remaining questions. Complete our Guides making notes of your questions, send it back via internet, fax or postal and then give our office a call to see if Mr. hoytt had received your Guides. Having all the information Mr. Hoytt needs will save you both a great deal of time and get to the next step quicker. Should you require a written follow up, allow ten to fourteen days.
