PUPPY CONTRACT
Please read the following carefully. This is the text of our puppy contract.
1. Firm but kind treatment will be provided for your puppy. It is very important that at least during the first 6 months of a puppy’s life you socialize them very well with children, other (friendly) dogs of all sizes and colors, other people, and various types of animals. If you do not invest the time to do this, they will not be well-rounded and easy to train as adults. At no time will the Buyer or anyone else in their family abuse or mistreat the puppy. Any evidence of such and the animal will be confiscated by the Breeder with no refund of any kind. This IS an animal, not a child. Raise it with firm rules and confidence in yourself as the pack leader, and it will be much happier. NEVER cuddle / hug / pet / or comfort this animal when it is acting afraid of something or someone. To do so will only encourage the behavior and produce a very neurotic dog.
2. Your puppy will not be tied/chained except in temporary or emergency situations. Chaining can lead to behavior problems. These are family-oriented animals. They need either human or canine companionship for at least the majority of the day. Nutritious food will be fed daily, and you will be provided with a list of good dog foods. Fresh water must be made available at all times, and we highly recommend that this be filtered water with at least the chlorine removed and preferably the fluoride also.
3. We recommend that interaction with your puppy be supervised, especially with unfamiliar people and children. Any injuries as a result of poor/lack of supervision, or otherwise, are in no way the fault of the Breeder, and the Buyer hereby agrees to accept full responsibility for the animal and all its actions. This recommendation is a general one that includes any and ALL canines.
4. This puppy must be examined by a licensed veterinarian of your choice as soon as practical after leaving our care to validate your lifetime guarantee. The examination MUST include a stool sample, so be sure and take a FRESH sample along with you in a baggie. Your puppy will have been dewormed at least twice at this point with a wormer purchased from a veterinarian, but deworming is something that you HAVE to keep up with because puppies explore their surroundings with their mouth and are constantly picking up things! Your puppy has also been checked for coccidia, but it does not always show up in a fecal sample, so additional checks are necessary after purchase.
Puppies can pick up parasites and bacteria very easily at this age, so further treatments may be necessary as the puppy’s immune system matures during the next few months. All vet bills are the responsibility of the owners. No replacement will be allowed regarding this dog for any reason, including but not limited to: landlord disapproval, allergy to animal, disagreement of family, or for any other reason, except for medical problems as specifically set forth in paragraphs ( 5 ) and ( 6 ).
5. To the best of our knowledge this dog has no serious illness at the time of sale and has not been exposed to other animals off of our property. We take the utmost care to protect our puppies with constant disinfecting. However, we cannot see or control the invisible, so if your puppy should become sick within the first 72 hours of leaving our care, you can return him for medical treatment or exchange him for another puppy. If the puppy was flown to your home, you are required to seek medical treatment. Your puppy is also guaranteed within the first 72 hours of leaving our care if the puppy received a certified diagnosis of parvovirus infection. In such case if the puppy should not survive, we will replace the puppy with one of equal value from a future litter. Any and all veterinarian bills while the puppy is in your care are your sole responsibility. No money will be reimbursed for any veterinarian bills, pick-up, or flight expenses. All vet records must be disclosed in advance before replacement is given.
6a. STANDARD GUARANTEE. If during the first two years of the life of this dog a licensed veterinarian diagnoses the dog as having hereditarily passed severe crippling hip dysplasia, severe elbow dysplasia, severe heart condition, blindness, or deafness, and evidence of the veterinarian’s diagnosis is presented to the seller at that time, the animal will be exchanged for another of equal value at once or when available. In the case of severe crippling hip dysplasia, breeder must see the x-rays and reserves the right to request that you have OFA read and grade them also. No replacement puppy will be given if he/she has been bred. NO CASH REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN. Buyer is responsible for ALL vet bills, including cost of diagnosis, and all transportation costs. If you choose to keep the dog, buyer will have him/her neutered or spayed, return the signed AKC registration papers to us, and receive another puppy at one-half of the current puppy price. Again, buyer is responsible for all vet bills. Buyer to pay ALL transportation costs. Replacement of the dog as specified in this paragraph is the buyer’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY in the case of return of a puppy for the congenital defects as set forth in this paragraph. This contract applies to the original puppy only and is non-transferable to a second party.
6b. LIFETIME GUARANTEE. If during the lifetime of this dog a licensed veterinarian diagnoses the dog as having hereditarily passed severe crippling hip dysplasia, severe elbow dysplasia, severe heart condition, blindness, or deafness, and evidence of the veterinarian’s diagnosis is presented to the seller at that time, the animal will be exchanged for another of equal value at once or when available. In the case of severe crippling hip dysplasia, breeder must see the x-rays and reserves the right to request that you have OFA read and grade them also. Your dog MUST BE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED DAILY SUPPLY OF NUVET SUPPLEMENTS from first day of arrival, using order code # 31869, in order for this guarantee to be valid. No replacement puppy will be given if he/she has been bred. NO CASH REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN. Buyer is responsible for ALL vet bills, including cost of diagnosis, and all transportation costs. If you choose to keep the dog, buyer will have him/her neutered or spayed, return the signed AKC registration papers to us, and receive another puppy at one-half of the current puppy price.

This contract applies to the original puppy only and is non-transferable to a second party.
7. This puppy has had his first temporary inoculation for parvovirus. Several vaccinations are required to protect your puppy and are your responsibility.
8. We are one of the few breeders in the U.S. that offer a Lifetime Guarantee and have no problem standing behind our fine animals after careful selection and years of breeding. However, many illnesses and problems are caused by vaccines, improper feeding, tap water, over-exercising, jumping, and environmental poisons. We cannot control these factors once this puppy goes home with you and we can only hope and pray that you will love them and have a genuine concern about their health, including doing your own research.
Therefore, to maintain this Lifetime Guarantee, you must keep this puppy on NuVet Plus Supplements daily using Order Code # 31869 from day one of acquiring him/her. The human grade ingredients in these supplements are far superior to any others. Their phone number is 1-800-474-7044, California time. It takes about a week to get your first order, so call ahead before the puppy arrives.
9. After purchase of the puppy, Buyer agrees to maintain contact with the Breeder. If at any time during the puppy’s life, the owner must relinquish ownership and a suitable home cannot be found, the Breeder must have an opportunity to take the dog in.
10. By signing this document, you agree that the entire contract of sale is embodied in this writing. This writing constitutes the final expression of the agreement between the buyer and the seller, and it is a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of that agreement. This contract is under the jurisdiction of the State of Ohio, in the county of Washington. It is agreed the place of venue shall be in Washington County, Ohio.
