Deposits for Shadow's litter (born 1/15) are due

There are 11 red/rust pups (1 goes to breeder's daughter).
[See Currently Available page for details.]

(1) Each puppy comes with current shots and a record of the shots received.
(2) History of human interaction with special attention spent towards socialization. They will have been held since day one and shown much love. For the Garrett's litters, our three children help socialize the pups. Most of the other breeders we work with have children assisting with the critical socialization.
(3) Each puppy will be properly groomed and cared for.
(4) Update page will be created per puppy as they are sold.
This is especially nice for those who wish to pick their pup before they are old enough to be released. The page will be updated with pictures for its new master to view keeping you up-to-date with his or her development. Once the puppy goes to its new home, the page will remain and any new pictures sent to us will be posted.
(5) Information packet will be given to each owner containing copies of parents' pedigrees and helpful information to help you take care of your new family member.
(6) Money back guarantee. If for some reason the puppy does not work out for you, we will give you your money back. We want what is best for our puppies!
[NOTE: $75 will be withheld to cover costs of running an additional ad if all the other puppies have been sold. This guarantee expires after 2 weeks from taking the puppy into your home. If the pup has not been well cared for, this guarantee is null and void, but we will take the puppy back.]
(7) Health guarantee. If a health problem linked to genetics ever occurs, we will work with you to do what is right for the puppy (even as an adult). While we can never replace the bond that forms between you and the pup, we will either replace the puppy or refund money. As for when the puppy leaves us, shots will be current and they will be tested for worms.
(8) Return policy. You may return the puppy after full grown any time. Say 5 years after the purchase you no longer find that the dog fits into your life, we will take him back. We do not want them abandoned. If we find that the dog is in good health, you will be given $50 to reward your responsible decision. We will then begin the process of placing it in a good home.

Price and Availability (availability will be posted when litter born):
Males and Females:
--- Black and Rust $850
--- Red and Rust $950
--- Fawn and Rust $1500
--- Blue and Rust $1500
Even if a pup is mark sold or deposit pending, contact us and let us know you are interested. We will put you on our "back up" list - in case someone should change their mind! Also, you need to contact us A.S.A.P. if you want one of the pups that are available to secure your "pick".
Deposit money ($200) is collected from those who have requested to be placed on our waiting list once the litter is born and we know we have what you want. This ensures you get the puppy of your choice. If you are interested, email garrett@nutractive.com.
Deposits:
If you are on our waiting list, you will be notified when it is confirmed that our female is pregnant and then after the puppies are born. At 2 weeks, you may come out and see the litter but will be asked not to hold them. When the puppies are 4 weeks, those that have left deposits will be called in to make their pick (in the order that deposit money was received). At 7 weeks, the puppies will be released IF each individual puppy is eating well and is socialized to our liking. The deposit fee is $200. This will guarantee that you get the puppy you pick out.
Waiting List:
Currently, we are placing potential owners on a waiting list for future litters. If you are interested in being placed on the waiting list for future litters, send us an e-mail at garrett@nutractive.com. You may also call us at (940) 300-8429. We require that a $200 deposit be put down once the litter is born and we know we have what you want. This is required because we want only serious people on our list. This amount was chosen as it is significant enough to demonstrate a commitment. If you decide to back out after leaving the deposit money with us, $75 will be withheld. Once you pick a puppy, we will be turning down others who might otherwise be interested in that puppy. This fee helps cover costs involved. Let us know if you have any questions.
Release Date:
As mentioned above, we will be releasing the puppies no sooner than 7 weeks old pending how well each one is doing with eating dog food. For socialization of the puppy, it is considered best to keep him with the litter until he is 7 to 8 weeks old. If you have another dog, this will help that socialization come along nicely. Once we notify you that your puppy is ready for release, the remainder of the puppy fee will be due.
Location:
We are located north of Dallas, Texas. We have shipped several puppies in the past and this would not be a problem but note it is at your expense (we help line everything up, though). NOTE: We have shipped to Canada but will NOT make international shipments elsewhere - only within the 48 continental states and Canada (so long as the flight time does not exceed 6 hours).
Shipping:
Shipping is through the airlines. We take care of everything. You simply have to show up to the airport at the time of arrival. Cost is $315 which includes crate, health certificate, and flight.
**We will deliver to Nacogdoches, Texas for $150; Houston, Texas for $200; Hot Springs, Arkansas for $200; St. Louis, MO for $250; New Orleans, Louisiana for $250 -- ONLY IF the timing works out for us.
Ear cropping:
We do not include ear cropping in the price of the pup. We do not mind taking your pup to our vet, however. Cost: $375
Note: Pups sold through GarrettsDobermans.com are ultimately the responsibility of the litter's owner. You have 48 hours from the time you receive the pup to have your vet check the pup for any immediate problems. After that time, it is your responsibility to provide the pup with the proper care necessary to keep it healthy including finishing full series of puppy shots, rabies at 12 weeks, heartworm prevention, deworming when necessary, etc.
Getting with a good veterinarian will help guide you through this confusing year of caring for your young pup. Additionally, we recommend that you do not expose your pup to any environment where the potential for exposure to harmful pathogens might be high. For example, as much fun as taking your pup to the dog park or even Petsmart might sound, we highly advise against it until your pup has completed its full vacinations. This is extremely important with this particular breed since Dobermans are more susceptible to Parvo and it seems to be "going around" right now.
We provide a service to breeders when we list pups not owned by us on this site. We do, however, try our best to find pups that are from nice looking parents and have been well cared for and properly socialized. [FYI: Our number one breeder that meets all this criteria perfectly is Pat & Don George.]
To date, we have only failed once in this task. The cause of the initial mishap for the pup was never determined -- parvo, puppy lived. Questions or concerns should be addressed before deciding to commit to a puppy.

One thing that really makes a difference in our pups temperament - even as they get older - is the amount of time we spend holding the pups and working with them everyday. We have three little sets of hands that love to help care for the pups!
These pups aren't kept away from the family in some back part of the yard. I hear from owners of our pups frequently. They are always bragging about the pup being so smart and having such great temperaments.
We didn't fully understand until we kept one of our own pups - Scarlett. Her mother, Aggie, is a great dog. But there is something noticably different about Scarlett. She is the sweetest, gentlest dog you will ever meet. Coming from a good bloodline is one part of it but we now believe the other part is the way she was raised from day one. We absolutely guarantee that a pup from her will fit your family's needs -- and we only sell to family homes. No breeders.
As for price, we do not usually have a hard time selling at the price we ask. Again, there is a certain quality you get from these pups that you are not going to get from other breeders. We feel strongly about that!
