If pup is to be shipped, all costs of shipping are the responsibility of the buyer.
I agree to take this pup to my veterinarian for a health check. If any health or congenital condition is found during that visit, upon certification from my veterinarian, I will be given the opportunity to return the pup for a full refund. The opportunity for a full refund of a pup for health issues expires 10 days after receipt of the pup.
I agree to maintain the pup in good condition, including regular veterinary care, a good diet, proper exercise, and a safe, clean environment.
If I choose not to keep this pup, I will notify the breeder and give her first opportunity to take the pup back. If the breeder agrees to a transfer of the pup to another party, that party must sign a separate contract with the breeder.
If this pup is used for breeding, the buyer agrees:
***Dog will not be bred before the third heat.
***Before breeding, the dog’s hips will be evaluated using either of the following recognized methods: PennHIP or OFA, with a photocopy of the results given to the breeder. If the results of the PennHIP are .7 or greater, or if there is evidence of DJD; or if the OFA rating is not Normal (Excellent, Good or Fair rating), the dog will not be bred and will be spayed or neutered.
***The health and well being of the dog will be assessed prior to breeding to ensure the best possible outcome. If the dog is a bitch, every effort will be made to breed no more frequently than once a year, understanding that consecutive breedings are not in the best interest of the health of the bitch. Repeated back to back breedings will be considered a breach of this stipulation.
***Offspring of the dog will not be sold to pet stores, puppy mills or brokers.
Failure to adhere to any of the above points in this contract will result in the breeder’s right to reclaim the dog.
The breeder agrees that:
Prior to leaving the breeder, the pup will have received its first vaccination and will have been wormed and been checked by the breeder’s veterinarian and determined to be in good health.
An accurate 3-generation pedigree will be furnished to the buyer.
The pup will be registered through ESCR. If requested, UKC papers can also be provided.
