This dog/puppy is to be sold as a pet. The intent of this contract is to provide the buyer with a quality pet.

Application for registration shall be considered the same. It shall be understood that at the time of sale, this dog is NOT represented to be for show or breeding but only that it is purebred and is representative of its breed and is suited as a pet. Seller does not guarantee the reproductive qualities of this dog or for any puppies that this dog may produce. Seller offers a 10 day guarantee of health for a cash refund, less the deposit or buyer may choose a different puppy/dog and transfer all money including the deposit toward the purchase price of a different puppy. If the replacement puppy/dog has a higher value, the buyer agrees to pay the difference for the replacement puppy/dog. To receive a refund or replacement puppy/dog, you must return the puppy/dog, any and all health records; include a statement from the vet who determined the puppy/dog to have poor health describing the condition and recommendations for treatment, and the registration papers for the puppy/dog to the seller.
Buyer agrees to have the puppy/dog examined by a Vet within 10 days of receipt of the puppy/dog for this guarantee to be valid and proof of such exam will be provided by buyer to seller in the event of a health issue resulting in the need for a refund or replacement of the sick puppy. This health guarantee does not include environmental illnesses such as parasites, allergies, viruses or colds as they are beyond the control of the seller. If the seller finds that an infection of these natures is happening or has happened during the time that the buyer's puppy/dog are or was present and exposure is likely, Seller will contact buyer immediately and inform buyer of such happenings. Since these conditions may be caused by environment and injury: trachea problems, leg pereath's, liver shunt, hernias and luxating patellas are not covered under this warranty.
Seller is not responsible for a sold dog if it has suffered neglect, mistreatment, or exhibits temperament faults that are the result of lack of training or abuse while in the possession of the buyer. Lack of training and/or socialization on the part of the buyer does not constitute poor breeding on the part of the seller. Seller does reserve the right not to replace the puppy or any money's to the buyer if the puppy was/is mistreated which also includes improper diet and/or abuse during potty training, etc. In which case, no puppy shall be replaced to protect any future puppy from going through any type of mistreatment or concern.

Refunds or partial refunds will be considered at the sellers' discretion as long as the dog or puppy is returned with all documentation including but not limited to AKC registration papers and Vet records. No refunds or replacements will be honored if there is evidence which supports abuse or neglect of the dog or puppy.
The Buyer and Seller agree to a (1) one-year from date of purchase warranty against fatal and life altering, disabling, congenital defects , the seller guarantees the dog against any debilitating congenital defects (a defect that would prohibit the animal from leading a normal pet life) which adversely affects the health or life of the animal. Determination of a congenital defect is to be made by the unanimous agreement of two unassociated veterinarians. Cost of the opinions is to be assumed by the buyer. The seller must be promptly notified of any problems in writing by the buyer's veterinarian within 24 hours of any illness and buyer agrees to follow any advice from the veterinarian until a second opinion can be determined and if found in agreement, the puppy shall be returned to the seller.

With all of this is mind, the buyer shall have first pick of any litters unless the seller has contracted with another party for pick of the litter, in which case, buyer will have second choice or may wait until the next litter. The seller reserves the right to place a value on a puppy at the approximate age of 8 weeks. The starting price for a puppy at the time of this agreement is $1200 and will be adjusted to what the market will bear for a dog or puppy of comparable blood lines, conformation, coat length, color, markings and temperament. It is understood by the buyer that the seller has sold dogs/puppies from $600 to $3500 and that pricing is at the sole discretion of the seller. Seller agrees to be fair and not to artificially inflate the value/price of a puppy chosen for replacement. Buyer is encouraged to ask the value of puppies before making a replacement decision.
If the buyer requests delivery of dog or puppy or a replacement puppy, it shall be airfreight (unless otherwise arranged and agreed in writing), prepaid to a designated location.
