1. To have puppy examined within 7 days of purchase by a licensed veterinarian to validate this guarantee and the health of the puppy.
2. The puppy is not being purchased for resale and will never be resold to a pet shop, puppy mill, animal shelter, or agent of the same.
3. To continue with appropriate vet exams, and follow all recommendations of vet in regard to shots and proper care. Failure to comply with and provide documentation of these requirements voids all guarantees.

5. To keep the puppy in good physical condition and proper weight. Provide proper care and nourishment.
6. Puppy is being purchased as a "pet only". That they will have their puppy spayed or neutered by 12 months of age and proper documentation will be sent back to the breeder unless breeding rights were purchased. If puppy is not spayed or neutered, puppy is then considered to be a breeding puppy and buyer will then owe the breeder an additional $1500 for breeding rights.
7. Buyer understands that breeder can not guarantee size of any puppy. We give your our very best guesstimate based on the size of parents – but sometimes mother nature has a mind of her own!
BREEDER AGREES:
1. Breeder guarantees that puppy has had proper care to date and has been examined by a licensed veterinarian. Puppy has received first shots and been dewormed at the proper times. Records will be furnished at the time of purchase. If within 7 days of receiving puppy he/she is examined by a reputable veterinarian, and the health of the puppy is found to be at risk due to a congenital defect – owner shall notify breeder and provide a written statement from licensed vet describing puppy’s condition. Owner shall return the puppy and papers to the breeder within 3 days of the exam. This does not include worms, fleas, mites, coccidian, giardia, or any other parasites as they are common in dogs and puppies. (Any puppies that go out of state- return expenses will be at the buyer’s expense.)
2. Breeder is not responsible if puppy contracts a communicable disease after leaving breeder’s possession.
3. 3 year genetic health guarantee – Breeder guarantees puppy against any congenital defect causing death of or making euthanasia necessary until 3 years of age. In this event a replacement puppy would be provided from the next available litter. (umbilical hernias or luxating patellas often resolve as puppies grow and are not considered a defect warranting a return.)
4. In the case of sudden demise of puppy, breeder must receive a written notice of the puppy’s death from the owner’s vet along with a necropsy report stating the cause of death.
5. If a nonfatal congenital defect is discovered, a report must be sent from two different veterinarians stating the congenital problem and the recommendation for treatment. At this time buyer can either send the puppy back to the breeder and receive a replacement puppy from an upcoming available litter of the same breed. Or if they choose to keep their puppy, breeder will help pay for medical bills to help correct the problem – not to exceed $2500. (If purchase price was under $2500, will pay up to the purchase price)
