  • The purchase price of this puppy will be refunded if the Buyer furnishes the Seller with a veterinary certificate indicating that the puppy is unwell or unsound, and returns the puppy to the Seller within 72 hours of delivery. No veterinary or shipping costs will be reimbursed by the Seller.
  • The puppy’s sire and dam are both OFA certified as free of hip dysplasia, and comes from many generations of puppy/dogs also free of hip dysplasia. The puppy is expected to be free of hereditary crippling hip dysplasia, however, no guarantee of such is or can be made, or intended herein.
  • The puppy is healthy at the time of sale and has had the immunizations enumerated in the § attached health record.
  • If at any time the Buyer is unable to keep or care for the puppy/dog, it must be returned to the Seller. The puppy may not be transferred or sold by the Buyer. The Buyer’s understanding and acceptance of this condition is signified here by his/her initials:___________ Date:________________

The Seller will endeavor to place any returned puppy/dog as advantageously as possible. If a purchase price is obtained for the puppy, it will be refunded up to the original purchase price to the original Buyer, less any costs of housing and placement. If the puppy is placed free of charge, no money will be returned to the original Buyer. No veterinary or other costs of keeping the puppy/dog, or any other costs incurred by the Buyer resulting from his/her ownership of the puppy/dog, will be paid by the Seller to the original Buyer of the puppy under any circumstances.

  • If the Seller determines by any means that the puppy is not being suitably cared for or that it has been mentally or physically mistreated, Seller has the right to take full possession of the dog and its properly signed AKC transfer papers/registration, without compensation. The Seller’s opinion is the only authority required to justify this action. Testimony of other people will not supersede the Seller’s judgment on this matter. Under such circumstances, all warranties are then VOID.

  • Buyer agrees to promptly contact the Seller when this dog passes on and supply to the seller details as to the cause of death.  We understand that this can be a very difficult time to discuss the loss so a letter or e-mail will be sufficient notice.  

Special agreements pertaining to the purchase of this puppy are listed below:

    • Neutering/Spaying: this puppy must be neutered/spayed before it is 14 months old.  I recommend spaying close to 14 months for proper bone growth and development.  Many vets will schedule this at 6 months but I would discuss with them 14 months.  If a girl puppy goes into her first heat she must be closely 100% of the time monitored for 27 days to ensure she does not get bred.
  • Other:
