Purchase Agreement & Warranty

The breeder will obtain the AKC litter registration shortly after the birth of each litter. The registration applications for each puppy will be sent to the new puppy owners upon notification that the puppy has reached its new home. This confirmation can be communicated by e-mail or regular postal mail, but it must be in writing. The buyer is responsible for any applicable taxes on the puppy. The type of registration
given to the buyer will be indicated below.

LIMITED AKC REGISTRATION: This puppy is being sold with LIMITED AKC REGISTRATION.

It is understood by the buyer that you will receive the proper AKC registration papers to register your puppy/dog with limited registration. This means that he or she will not have breeding rights and will not be authorized to register any of this dog’s offspring to be registered with the American Kennel Club.

VACCINATIONS AND VETERINARIAN PHYSICALS: Our dogs and puppies are vaccinated as recommended for puppies of this age, have been wormed, and have had full veterinarian physicals regularly. Vaccinations and regular veterinary check-ups are necessary throughout your puppy/dog’s life to keep them happy and healthy. Worming is also a very common need with puppies and will require your attention not only as a puppy but also throughout your dog’s life.

NOTICE TO BUYERS OF GOOD FAITH: All canines have the potential for genetic or congenital diseases. Due to the nature of these particular diseases, it is the job of the breeder, through selective breeding, to try to minimize the possibility of these conditions in good faith. Please read, to your full understanding, the following sections of this contract concerning any contagious or hereditary defects.

All puppies will be examined by a licensed veterinarian before they are shipped or delivered to the buyer.

CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS: All puppies are examined by a licensed veterinarian before they are flown, shipped, or delivered to the buyer. To the best of the breeders’ knowledge, this puppy/dog has no known diseases or illnesses that would adversely affect their health. This puppy is guaranteed to be free of untreatable, contagious health conditions. In order for this guarantee to be valid, the buyer is required to take their puppy to a licensed veterinarian for a good check-up within 72 HOURS.

If your puppy is found to have a contagious disease that is untreatable or to be hereditarily ill and untreatable, then a letter from a licensed veterinarian stating so must be presented to the Seller within 10 DAYS of delivery. In this case, the puppy will be returned to the seller within the same 10 days, and a refund of the sale price of the puppy will be given to the buyer at that time, thus ending this contract entirely. This refund does not include any expenses incurred by the buyer or by the buyer’s veterinarian. The seller assumes no responsibility or liability under any circumstances for any/all incurred veterinarian bills.

Relocation and/or travel can cause stress for a young puppy, and an upset stomach and not eating properly for a few days can be a common symptom of travel and being separated from their litter. This will clear up within a few days. If it does not, have your puppy examined by your veterinarian. Stress can also bring to the surface certain conditions, such as Coccidosis which is a very treatable condition.

A condition such as this would not be included as a reason for a puppy’s return to the seller.

The OPTIONAL 14 ADDITIONAL MONTH EXTENSION ADDENDUM TO BREEDERS CONTRACT on page 2 extends this agreement to 26 months.

If a structural condition does arise, we choose to replace that puppy. All documentation, including x-ray copies, must be supplied to the breeder. If this dog should exhibit these conditions prior to the age of 12 months, the buyer may receive a replacement puppy from the same sire and dam when the seller has another litter available to make this possible. If, for reasons beyond the seller's control, a puppy from the same mating isn’t possible, a puppy of the same gender and comparable quality mating will be offered.

By initialing below, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the hip portion of this warranty.

BREEDING AND WARRANTY: Your right to breed the dog being purchased is associated with the unlimited AKC registration only. It does not refer to or imply the quality or value of any puppy/dog being sold or purchased. If at any time the buyer chooses to breed the dog, the buyer accepts the dog as is, and the warranty becomes void.
