BUYER's Responsibilities

BUYER must have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of delivery.  If there is a health concern, the BUYER must notify SELLER immediately by phone or email.  Please note that minor symptoms such as runny nose or diarrhea may be brought on by stress and change of food and/or water.  It will take up to two weeks for the puppy to adjust to these changes.  If symptoms of these types continue after two weeks and the BUYER wishes to pursue a remedy covered by the SELLER’s Guarantee, the BUYER must have the puppy re-examined by two (2) independent licensed veterinarians to determine the cause of the puppy’s illness (see SELLER’s Guarantee on the following page).

 BUYER agrees to avoid exposing the puppy to other people’s pets or public “doggie areas” until the puppy has acquired an immunity to dog diseases and infections by following the recommended series of vaccinations from your veterinarian.  The BUYER shall be aware of the increased risk of infection and exposure to parasites at dog kennels and highly used “doggie areas” and shall take necessary precautions such as the use of kennel cough vaccines before exposing the puppy to higher risk environments, and the use of de-worming treatments after exposing the puppy to higher risk environments as recommended by your licensed veterinarian.

 BUYER must provide responsible care and personal or professional training of your puppy.  This may require a lot of time and effort for the first year of the puppy’s life.  It also requires your commitment to insure the safety, health, and welfare of your puppy.

 BUYER must have either a fenced yard or play area for the puppy, or agree to take the puppy outside on a leash at regular daily intervals according to the puppy’s needs.

 BUYER must provide the puppy with a high quality dog food and fresh water supply on a daily basis.  It is highly recommended for the BUYER to avoid feeding your puppy “human” table food or over feeding your puppy.  An over-weight dog may cause or accelerate the chances of hip dysplasia and/or other joint related problems.

 BUYER must provide the puppy with routine health care, such as, but not limited to:
·      Regular physical exams by a licensed veterinarian; and
·      Follow veterinary guidelines for vaccinations, heartworm treatments, and de-
     worming schedules.

SELLER's Guarantee

The puppy must be examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of delivery to validate this guarantee, otherwise the guarantee shall not be valid.  The puppy is guaranteed for one (1) year from puppy’s birth date against congenital defects only that result in permanent life-altering, life-threatening, or fatal consequences to the puppy.  This is limited to the following conditions: severe hip dysplasia, and life-threatening or debilitating conditions of the kidney, heart, pancreas, spine, or liver.  If two (2) independent, licensed veterinarians diagnose the puppy with a congenital defect as listed above, and the BUYER provides written evidence thereof from both veterinarians, the SELLER shall refund the purchase price and original shipping costs to the BUYER upon satisfactory return of the puppy to the SELLER (in the same condition as delivered).  At the BUYER’s discretion, the SELLER shall provide a replacement puppy of equal value (if one is available) to the BUYER in lieu of a refund.  The replacement puppy shall be mutually agreed upon by both parties, and may or may not be from the same parents of the original puppy.  If the original puppy is returned pursuant to this remedy, BUYER shall return the puppy in satisfactory condition (in the same condition as delivered) at the BUYER’s expense.  All paperwork, including registration papers and this form must be returned with the puppy.  The SELLER’s total liability under this remedy shall be limited to the purchase price of the puppy plus the original shipping costs.

 If the puppy dies due to a congenital defect within one (1) year from puppy’s birth date and the BUYER decides to pursue a remedy covered by this guarantee, the BUYER shall at their own expense have an autopsy performed by two (2) independent, licensed veterinarians to determine the cause of death.  If the cause of death is determined to be due to a congenital defect as listed above, and the BUYER provides written evidence thereof from both veterinarians, the SELLER shall either: (1) refund the purchase price and original shipping costs to the BUYER, or (2) at the BUYER’s discretion, provide a replacement puppy of equal value to the BUYER (if one is available).  The replacement puppy shall be mutually agreed upon by both parties, and may or may not be from the same parents of the original puppy.  The SELLER’s total liability under this remedy shall be limited to the purchase price of the puppy plus the original shipping costs.

 In all cases pursuant to a remedy covered by this guarantee, the SELLER must be notified within two (2) business days of the licensed veterinarian’s determination.  The BUYER must provide written evidence from the licensed veterinarians in order to pursue a remedy covered by this guarantee.

 The SELLER’s Guarantee does not cover the following conditions: hypoglycemia, umbilical hernia, coccidiosis, giardia, ear mites, internal/external parasites, viral or bacterial infections, allergies, thyroid dysfunction, demodectic mange, and/or other autoimmune disorders.  The puppy’s ability to breed is not guaranteed and its AKC registration eligibility shall be "Limited" unless otherwise negotiated with the SELLER in writing.

 This guarantee applies to the original puppy and original BUYER only.  It is not transferable to a third party (someone else whom you decide to give or sell the puppy to, at a later date).  The SELLER shall not be responsible for any expenses incurred by the BUYER that arise from any type of disease, illness, or defect found in the puppy.  This includes but is not limited to: veterinary treatments or diagnosis, necessary kenneling or overnight care, or postmortem handling/services.
