It has been estimated that 8 million dogs are surrendered to shelters each year, where more than 1/2 are euthanized.
We are a no kill facility.
My glossary definitions:
Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a puppy dog into a permanent home, meaning he or she shall forever be in your care.
Purchase: is when ownership is obtained in exchange for money or value which is also called buying, ownership can change easily with no strings attached. Most things bought and owned are eventually discarded somewhere along in life, read more at:

The following agreement contains the terms of this adoption, this agreement has been my basic policy since 1991.
----ADOPTION AGREEMENT-----
The condition of this adoption are as follows:
This puppy appears to be of sound body, and in good health, as far as appears to the eye at the time of this adoption. The adoptor is strongly urged to establish a relationship with a Veterinarian of their choice within 24 hours of the adoption to assure that they will follow through with this puppy dogs health care. We do not pay veterinary bills incurred under any circumstances. All Veterinarian and transportation expenses are the adoptor's responsibility. Puppy dogs are not placed on a trial basis, but may be returned to us at any time in their life and for any reason. The adoptor is aware that no refunds will be given and that they are taking full responsibility for this puppy dog from this date forward. At no time should a puppy/dog be placed in any rescue organization, shelter, pound or any other such organization, and/or for any reason. If a situation such as this ever presents itself to you, you simply are guaranteeing me that you will be responsible enough to return this puppy/dog to me so that I can aid in placing him/her in a new loving home.
I, as the adoptor of this puppy, do hereby guarantee that I am not a broker or a puppy mill. I am aware that placing of this puppy in any such place is a violation of this contract.
ADOPTOR'S STATEMENT:
By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read, understand and agree to the above conditions. I am taking full responsibility for this puppy dog from this date forward:

Placing A Deposit: A deposit of $50.00 is your guarantee that I will not place the puppy/dog of your choice with someone else. A deposit also serves as my guarantee that you will be adopting the puppy/dog specified, therefore a deposit is non-refundable. I will not hold puppies on your word alone. I will hold your puppy dog an additional 10 days if needed at no extra fee. During this 10 days we expect that you will make arrangements with us for the pick-up or shipping of your puppy dog, and all final amounts are due. If all details are not finalized we will assume that this puppy dog is available for others. If your puppy dog needs to stay with us longer than the 10 days as described, boarding is available: http://hestekinhills.com/boarding.htm Deposits are non-refundable unless, in the unlikely event something happens to the puppy here, or your puppy does not pass the vets exam. (deposit would then be refunded) I will no longer pre-book flights or make transportation arrangements without the puppy being paid for in full.
Choosing a Male or female puppy: Basically choosing the sex turns out to be a personal preference thing, some people will tell you that they will never have a male dog and others will tell you that they will never have a female dog! A few thing that might help you decide between the two sexes: Have you had a dog before? Was this dog a male or a female? What did you like about this dog and what did you dislike about this dog? Maybe ask a friend with a dog why they choose a male or female? Call your veterinarian and inform him/her that you are considering the idea of adding a new puppy to your home and ask your vet if they think a male or a female would be the right choice for you. If you spay a female and neuter a male, the two really compare closely. If you don't spay a female she will come into heat (season) for about 30 days each time and she would be leaving little red spots all over your house. If you neuter a male at 6 months of age, or before his manly hormonal boost, that will or should eliminate any marking of territory. Marking is a learned habit and if you can cut off the hormones before he learns what marking is, males make wonderful pets. Males are usually a little more affectionate than females, at least that has been my experience!
Pet Quality Puppies versus Show Quality Puppies: Don't let a breeder fool you when they tell you that their puppies are show quality puppies. Being show quality is something that no breeder, no matter how experienced he/she may be, cannot guarantee to you until the puppy has reached at least 6 months of age. If I refer to a puppy as pet quality that does not mean that the puppy is not the best example of his/her breed, that fact is just unknown at that time. I use the difference in terms, of Pet or Show quality, only to describe the puppies destination, meaning the show ring, or a wonderful and loving pet home. A show potential puppy is one that goes beyond the definition of pet quality. These dogs are free of all AKC disqualifying faults. They are not guaranteed to win in the show ring, but AT THE TIME OF ADOPTION, display no structural, cosmetic or temperament faults that would prevent them from attaining a breed championship if handled correctly of course. The fact that a dog may finish a championship does not necessarily mean that it is of breeding quality. Correct phenotype, or what is seen from the outside, does not guarantee correct genotype which would be the genes that are crossed and passed on to the next generation. My puppies may mature to be show quality, and under special circumstances, the AKC limited registration can be lifted, which would allow for showing in all events. The Universal Kennel Club International (UKC), and America's Pet Registry (APR) also have dog show events available now, see their sites for more information.

Vitamins: Nuvet is an all natural supplement to make sure that our baby gets everything that his or her growing body needs. NuVet Plus can only be purchased directly from the manufacturer: NuVet Labs. They can be reached at 1-800-474-7044. order code number #36582 or online at: www.nuvet.com/36582
Payments: Payment plans are an option. I am willing to work with you on most any payment arrangements, just let me know what you have in mind. The easiest and fastest way to make payment would be to wire the funds from your bank to my bank, this is all done within a matter of minutes. Other alternatives are: Cash is accepted at the time of pickup; Paypal is accepted from confirmed accounts with a $5.00 postage fee plus a 3% transaction fee; I do not like Western Union but this is also an option; Personal checks are accepted as deposits and also as payments, All personal checks must clear my bank prior to you picking up your puppy, or the shipping of your puppy! All puppies/dogs remain with me until completely paid for. I do not accept Cashiers Checks or Money Orders due to the Nigerian Check scam warnings on the internet. ALL DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
Shipping: It is in the best interest of this puppy dog that I agree to ship to most any location: As you may know Rescues, Shelters, Humane Societies and other such organizations do not ship by air. They feel that shipping a puppy dog to a new home is not in their best interests. I agree with this statement, it is not in their best interest, but it is "in the puppy dogs best interest". Therefore, I am willing and able to ship to most locations just to find this little special someone a new forever home.
Shipping
Options are:
* You can come here to pick
your puppy up (Eau Claire,
Wisconsin)
* Shipping by Northwest
or Kitty
Hawk Air:
Although I would prefer to
meet my babies new families
in person, I do understand
that this is not always an
option for those of you who
live so far away, therefore
I offer world wide shipping
at an added expense! I
prefer to use Northwest
due to the extra
special attention they have
paid to my puppies in the
past, but other airlines are
always an option at your
request! Shipping prices
start at about $300.00
depending on the size of the
puppy, the time of year, and
temperatures. All airlines
have temperature
restrictions in which the
temperatures must be between
10 and 85 degrees in order
for me to ship a puppy, if
it is too hot or too cold to
ship on a certain day we can
go day by day until the
temperatures are alright for
shipping. If this
happens, please bare with
me, I will get your puppy to
you as soon as I can, and
Thank you for understanding!
When I quote a price to you,
be assured that all expenses
are included. My travel to
and from the airport, the puppies required
health papers for the
airline, a pet porter that
is large enough for a
comfortable trip, and the
flight/airline fees) I
will no longer pre-book
flights without the puppy
being paid for in full.
Shipping can be done most
any day of the week
depending on the airlines
available flights.
