Contract and Buyer/Seller Expectations

The Buyer shall keep the dog as a household pet. The dog shall reside with the Buyer.

The Buyer shall provide the dog with adequate food, fresh water, shelter, affection, and medical care upon sickness, disease, or injury. 

Maintenance should include, but is not limited to:
•    An annual health exam and routine vaccinations as recommended by a board-certified veterinarian. 
•    Humane care and maintenance in accordance with all current and future state, county, and municipal laws and ordinances where the Buyer resides. 
•    A fully fenced yard or other humane means of exercise. 
•    The dog shall not be kept chained or constantly outdoors. 
•    A collar and identification tag and/or microchip. 
•    Never permit the dog to roam unattended.

The dog shall not be sold, transferred, or given to any individual or to any retail or wholesale establishment for the purpose of sale or resale to the public or to any research institution where medical experimentation or other practices take place.

The Buyer and Breeder agree to keep each other informed of their current contact information.

The Buyer agrees that it is the Buyer’s responsibility to accept the dog as described. The Breeder has provided and the Buyer has acknowledged a full disclosure of the health, habits, and temperament of the dog. The dog’s health records, from Westside Animal Clinic, will be supplied at time of purchase. 

Upon registering your new puppy with the AKC, you will be provided with 30 days of free pet health insurance. We strongly advise you to complete this registration the same day you bring the puppy home for the coverage to begin on day 1 with you. While we make every effort to ensure your new puppy is healthy, there are things that can happen that are not predictable and outside of our control. This Breeder does not offer a health guarantee. The puppy is in good health to the best of our knowledge at time of purchase.

 
While tempting, we strongly advise against bringing your new puppy to any dog parks, pet stores, boarding facilities, or other areas where many dogs may be present, until they have been fully vaccinated. Kennel Cough is just one of many extremely contagious and potentially life threatening diseases that could be contracted in one of these high risk areas. Breeder is not responsible for costs associated with puppy contracting kennel cough.

Please read our our position on genetic testing on this site. The Buyer acknowledges the Breeders position on SOD1 gene mutation testing. 

The Buyer shall notify the Breeder immediately if the dog cannot be kept by the Buyer. Should the Buyer no longer be able to care for the dog at any time, for any reason, the Buyer agrees to return the dog to the Breeder so that the Breeder may screen and approve a new home at the Breeders discretion.

The Buyer agrees to sign the necessary papers to return the Breeder as sole owner of the dog in the event the dog is returned.

This contract is agreed upon by the Buyer and Breeder as a protection to both parties, as well as a protection for the dog. The parties accept and agree to be bound by the attached Terms and Conditions governing the contracted purchase of the Dog.
