veterinary care including vaccines, heartworm testing and prevention as well as
basic care such as regular bathing and nail trimming.

a low protein, low calcium and moderate fat food until at least 2 years of age
to prevent undesirable growth traits and the incidence of Pano (canine growing

will not ride in the bed of a truck without proper restraints and icy steps and
walkways as well as wet flooring will be maintained to prevent a slip and fall
accident which would injure the dogs growing skeleton.
5)This dog at no point

ownership without the prior written consent of the breeder, as the breeder has

shelter, research facility, etc. Should this occur, any and all costs the
breeder incurs in attempting to reclaim the dog will be charged to the purchaser

anyone - it only applies to the dog as long as it resides solely with the
original purchaser.
8) This dog is not to be used for fighting, guarding
illegal institutions or for any purpose that is immoral or illegal. To do so
will give legal right to breeder to repossess dog.
9) No dog is guaranteed to
grow up to be a show dog or a breeding dog. The breeder can only make an
assessment of quality of the dog on the day it leaves the breeders home as a
puppy.
10) Deposits placed on an available puppy or a puppy from a planned
upcoming breeding are non-refundable, unless we cannot provide you with a puppy
at all. Backing out on the sale of a puppy gives the right to the breeder to
retain the deposit as a nuisance fee. However, this deposit may be applied to a
puppy from another litter, provided another pup is purchased within a year from
the time the deposit check was dated or received by breeder if deposit was given
in cash.
11) The breeder cannot be responsible for any diseases, pathogens or
parasites the dog may contract in it's lifetime. This includes, but is not
limited to: coccidia, worm infestations, giardia, parvo, distemper, kennel
cough, leptospirosis and etc. It is the responsibility of the owner to keep the
dog up to date on all shots and wormings to prevent illness or
infestation.
12) The breeder is not responsible for any allergic reactions or
any adverse affects caused from the administration of vaccines, medications,
worming medications, food allergies, inhaled airborne allergies, skin allergies
or skin afflictions or etc.
13) This dog is required to be microchipped by 6
months of age with proof of such sent to breeder by the time the dog reaches 7
mos of age. To not meet this deadline will then nullify and void out any
remaining health guarantee time on the dog past the age of 7 months.
14) The
buyer is given 72 hours to have their dog seen by a licensed veterinarian, and
examined for health and soundness. Should the vet find the dog to be in very
poor health, possessing an affliction in which the dog cannot be treated for
medically and deems the dog suffering from a severe genetic defect, the dog may
be returned to the breeder for a full refund, provided a letter from the
veterinarian is sent to the breeder, stating this grave ill health. Returning of
dog to the breeder will give purchaser back the purchase price of dog, less the
shipping charges. Purchaser is responsible for shipping charges to send dog back
to breeder.

damaged in any way by vaccines, medications or etc. that may have been

like the dog or discover this is not the breed or right dog for him or her, the
dog will be accepted back, but without a refund. It is the purchasers
responsibility to research the breed and be certain this is the breed for him or
her PRIOR to purchase. The breeder cannot be responsible for the purchasers
dis-satisfaction in a breed that was not researched well before
obtaining.
17) Should weather conditions hinder or postpone shipment of the
dog, the breeder agrees to exhaust all options in getting the dog shipped to the
purchaser in a timely manner. The purchaser agrees to be patient and give the
breeder ample time to get dog shipped out. Weather conditions are out of the
breeders control, and therefore, there may be times when a puppy shipment must
be postponed for a short period of time until the weather breaks and allows for
safe and reliable shipment. This is to ensure the health and safety of your new
puppy.
18) GUARANTEE ON YOUR DOG: Your dog is under a health warranty until
it's first birthday. This guarantee will give you a replacement puppy of equal
monetary value should the puppy you originally purchase be found to have a life
threatening genetic physical condition. No cash refunds will be given.
19)
Non life threatening conditions are not subject to replacement. For hips, we
give a replacement for a dog being found to have OFA severely dysplastic hips or
found to be Penn Hip scored at .90 or higher. Replacements will not be given for
moderately or mildly dysplastic dogs.
Replacements will not be given for dogs
with breeding problems or dogs who have conformation faults as these are not
life threatening problems. The only exception to this is with vaginal
hyperplasia. We will replace ONLY a "Show Quality" pick of the litter female who
is afflicted by vaginal hyperplasia provided she IS NOT bred, and that she is
spayed. Once proof of spay is received, replacement will commence. We do not
guarantee hyperplasia for any female not deemed clearly in the contract of
sale as being Pick Of The Litter Female.
20) All life threatening afflictions
must be presented to the breeder for a replacement dog in the form of an OFA
report, a Penn Hip report or a signed, dated letter from a veterinary specialist
practicing in the field of the affliction in question. This letter must be on
their clinic letterhead, with a contact number listed.
21) A dog who is going
to be replaced must be sexually altered immediately with proof sent to breeder,
as well as all registration papers on the dog must also be returned to the
breeder with proof of affliction as stated in #20. BOTH must be received. No
replacement will commence until this requirement is met.
22) The breeder is
relinquished from any legal or monetary issues involved with this dog from the
date the purchaser takes ownership. This includes, but is not limited to: legal
or monetary issues involving the dogs actions (biting, destructive behavior,
etc.), medical costs of any kind incurred for this dog or because of this dog,
any wages, pay or any type of monetary potential lost (to owner or any other
person or establishment) due to any issue of this dog, nor is the breeder
responsible for any potential loss of money hoped to be made from this dog or
the planned sale of it's puppies .
23) The breeder is only responsible for a
replacement puppy if the originally purchased dog is found to meet the criteria
for such a replacement and if all requirements stated in #21 are met.
24) If
replacement requirements are met, the purchaser has one year maximum to claim
the new puppy. Should the breeder offer a new puppy within that years time and
the purchaser refuses for whatever reason, the breeder is no longer indebted to
offer additional pups to the purchaser. Should the breeder not have anything
available during that years time to offer the purchaser, the breeder will be
allowed two additional years to find a suitable replacement dog.
25) What dog
given as a replacement is the sole decision of the breeder. Purchaser may not
have a choice of replacement puppy, however, a puppy of equal monetary value
will be given.
26) Sex of replacement puppy may not be a choice, as the
breeder will offer what is available during the stated time period in
#24.
27) Size is not guaranteed, nor are any issues of the coat, any issues
of bloat, conformation flaws or any abilities or potential intended or expected
by owner in purchasing the dog.
28) Any dog needing to be replaced is not
required to be given back to the breeder, however, the breeder will accept back
any dog the owner no longer wishes to keep. Should an owner keep any defective
dog, it is expected that the owner not prolong a painful, suffering existence
for the dog, and would do the right thing by euthanizing the dog should this be
an issue. Should a defective be able to be maintained through medical therapy
and live a pain free life, this such treatment is expected to be maintained, and
at any point if it can no longer be maintained, it is asked that the dog is
euthanized in order to not prolong any suffering.
29) Should any dog die, and
the cause is claimed to be a genetic defect and a replacement dog is asked for,
such dog is required to be made available by the breeders vet of choice for
autopsy. Should the dog not be made available or has been disposed of in some
manner and is then unavailable to the breeder, no replacement will be considered
for any reason.
30) The breeder reserves the right to ask for a second
opinion on any diagnosis on any dog.
31) Under no circumstances will a
replacement dog be given on any dog that is suspected to be abuse or neglected
or in any way mistreated.
32) Should at any point there be an inability for
the breeder and purchaser to come to an agreement regarding any portion stated
in this contract, and litigation becomes necessary, let it be noted that any and
all court hearings, proceedings and any legal issues pertaining to this dog and
it's sale will take place within the county in which the breeder resides in the
state of Michigan. The sale of this dog is stated to be within the state of
Michigan, and therefore falls under the laws regulating such within the state of
Michigan.
