BIG TIME

"PET" - Pet /companion means you are purchasing your pet for the purpose of enjoyment and adding a new friend to your family only.  All our Animals are sold as Pets and are priced reduced and not for breeding, UNLESS otherwise discussed and priced. Some pets are pet priced due to some characteristic we feel should not be reproduced, some are the pick of the litter, some (as in chihuahuas) are just too small. The number one reason we sell as "pet" is to find our babies good non-breeding homes. Pets come with a 1 year health guarantee.  All require neuter/spay agreements if they are too young or too small to be altered before they leave. Pet prices are not determined by getting papers, or not.  They are priced and required by contract to be altered within a certain time period, if they are too young to be altered before they leave. Pets come with a 1 year health guarantee.

"BREEDER" - Hopefully - like in our home, your breeder will still be an important family member  and family pet, and treated as such, but is intended for potential breeding, when he/she is old enough, even if it is just once.  Breeders will be breeder priced and come with full registration and breeding rights. Breeder animals come with a 2  year written health guarantee. If you are a Individual who intends to breed your Big Time Pet, you must disclose this info, prior to any sale and make sure you are purchasing a breeder priced baby.  If you are wanting a show quality puppy but do not want to show you will still need to ask for a show quality puppy.  We do not sell to puppy mills , large kennels, pet shops, or brokers.

"SHOW" - Show quality, is the best stock.  They generally are not determined and labeled until they are 6 + weeks old and even then - we are evaluating the animal at the current time. The older they are the better we can evaluate. There is NO such thing as a show quality 2 week old animal, I don't care who the breeder is. Great Bloodlines do not insure show babies - unfortunately. I wish it was that easy. 

Show babies come with full registration and breeding rights, and a 2 year written health guarantee. 




Big Time often offers Breeder and Show quality animals to pet homes at "Pet" prices. WHY?
Our preference is to sell to the pet home.  If we have the option of selling the same animal, to a pet home, or to a breeder for more money, please understand we will almost always take less and choose the home that does not breed. There are already far too many people mass producing these days who are offering every animal they produce - no matter the quality- with full registration, breeding rights or without neuter/spay requirements. Many puppies are left without homes, and end up in shelters, puppy mills and kennels who purchase low quality animals at cheap prices and breed these animals regardless of the quality or health issues.  We do not condone such practices.
Will we sell to breeders?  Of course, we love working with other caring breeders. 
  Do not expect to buy a breeder at a pet price, or the "perfect" show dog at a breeder price.  Breeders must be upfront, and if we find out after the animal has been spoken for… that you are a breeder/broker ect.. claiming to give my puppy a Pet home - I may at my option, cancel the sale and the deposit will be NON-Refundable!

Please take the following into consideration: 

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS......... 

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me. 

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you. 

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
