What to Expect — B & C Kennels (bandcpups.com)
If you are just looking to meet and play with puppies or check allergies, we can not accommodate you. We are not a hypoallergenic facility, and it pulls are short staff away from caring for our animals and exposes our puppies to undue risk and hurt feelings.
We get many requests for personalized pictures. Please give us a call and have a conversation. If after our conversation, a deposit has been placed special arrangements will be made. If we do not think you plan on purchasing, we will not send pictures or videos. Please go to Instagram, go to Facebook. Photography and videography are skills and take time. You can always schedule in person and take some of your own pictures and videos.

We are often asked by new potential customers who find us online if we schedule time for people to just come check us and our facility out. Yes and no. We are a private residence and schedule individual customers to come spend time with our dogs and us. We are not open to the public. Please email us for an application and we will contact you.
Common questions and answers:
Can I return or exchange my puppy? No. They are live animals with hearts and souls. This is a big decision and a long-term commitment. We will give you all the time you need and we will never ask you to buy our puppy. We will of course always take them back however there will not be a monetary refund. If you do not agree with our policy please find another kennel.
Can you send me pictures and/or videos? We can, but we will not do so blindly. We get many request for personalized pictures. Please give us a call and have a conversation. If after our conversation, we do not think you plan on purchasing, we will not send pictures or videos. Please go to Instagram, go to Facebook or schedule in person and take some of your own videos. Taking pictures of puppies is a skill if you do not agree with our viewpoint, we request you find another kennel.
Do you have any parents you are retiring for sale? Most of our parents live with their forever families and stay with them after retiring as parents. If you are looking for an older dog not a puppy, we always recommend your local animal control shelters and we love the great staff at The Barn on Baseline in Genoa, IL if you are looking for a dog not a puppy, or maybe a cat, please contact them and meet some wonderful animals looking to spend their lives with you.
Can I meet the puppy's mother and father? Often yes, as long as they have not returned to their forever family already.
If one of the parents is not available, does the Breeder have pictures available of the parent? We have many of our parents pics posted on the Meet the Parents link.
If, for any reason, I am unable to keep the puppy, what is your policy? We will always accept back one of our puppies, in fact, it is in our contract that if you no longer or are unwilling to provide proper care the puppy must be returned to us.
