 Policy & Procedures

At Cain Creek, we take great pride in raising healthy, well-tempered German Shepherds that reflect the breed’s intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. Our goal is to ensure every puppy is placed in a loving, responsible, and permanent home. To protect both our dogs and their future families, the following policies and procedures apply to all adoptions and sales.

​

Cain Creek Commitment

 

At Cain Creek, we believe in responsible breeding and lifelong stewardship of every dog we produce. Our policies are designed to ensure transparency, fairness, and above all — the wellbeing of our German Shepherds.

Puppy Selection & Reservation

  • Puppies are offered to approved homes only. We reserve the right to refuse any sale if we feel it is not in the best interest of the puppy.

  • A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a puppy. Deposits will be applied toward the final purchase price.

  • Selection order is based on the date deposits are received.

Health Guarantee

  • All puppies are vet-checked, vaccinated, and dewormed prior to going home.

  • A health record and proof of vaccinations will be provided at pickup.

  • Cain Creek guarantees the puppy is free from serious congenital health conditions at the time of sale.

Pickup & Ownership Transfer

  • Puppies are ready to go home at 8 weeks of age unless otherwise specified.

  • Balance of payment is due before or upon pickup.

  • New owners must bring valid photo identification to complete the transfer of ownership and paperwork.

No Buy-Back Policy

Rehoming Policy

 Care & Responsibility

  • Cain Creek does not offer buy-backs once a puppy has been placed in its new home.

  • We encourage all buyers to make an informed and committed decision before purchase.

  • We understand that unexpected life changes can occur. In such cases, Cain Creek must be notified immediately if an owner is unable to keep their dog.

  • While we cannot guarantee buy-backs, we will assist in finding an appropriate new home or accept the dog back on a circumstantial basis at our discretion.

  • Under no circumstances should a Cain Creek German Shepherd be surrendered to a shelter or rescue.

  • Owners agree to provide proper nutrition, exercise, veterinary care, and training to ensure a happy and healthy life for their dog.

  • Cain Creek reserves the right to refuse future sales to any individual who fails to meet these care standards.

Breeding Rights & Registration

  • All puppies are sold as pet companions unless breeding rights have been explicitly agreed upon in writing.

  • Limited or full registration paperwork will be provided as applicable.

Communication & Support

  • We value ongoing relationships with our puppy families and encourage owners to stay in touch.

  • Our team is always available to offer guidance on training, nutrition, and general care.
