If you’re purchasing a dog that is over 6 months of age this warranty will change to 90 days from
purchase. 

Your puppy has received its first set of shots and been dewormed on a regular schedule, however, it takes a
series of shots to provide full immunity and as such, seller strongly recommends you keep your puppy at home
and away from other dogs (especially unvaccinated ones) until 10 days after the full series of vaccinations
have been completed (8,12 & 16 weeks). When taking your puppy to the vet for the initial exam & subsequent
shots, seller also strongly stresses that it is important to not let your puppies’ feet touch any surface that has
not been cleaned with bleach or a strong parvocide. There is also a risk of your puppy contracting an illness if
it is let out in a public area before vaccinations are completed, so avoid these area if possible until vaccines
are completed. Not following these guidelines can expose your puppy to serious illness that he/she does not
have immunity to. Common puppy problems that occur, either non-life threatening or curable, are not
warranted by seller. Seller recommends that you take a stool sample to your puppy’s 12-week vaccine exam
to be tested for worms & parasites, which are common in puppies and can be treated by your veterinarian. 
Buyer please initial and date here______________. 

Your puppy has been examined by a licensed veterinarian and pronounced healthy. Please take your
puppy to your personal veterinarian for an initial exam within 48 hours (business) of receipt of puppy. 
Please forward proof of examination by your veterinarian, failure to do this will void health guarantee.

him/her on clinic letterhead detailing the findings, must be obtained and provided to seller. A second
veterinarian of sellers choice must be allowed (at sellers expense) to examine the puppy again, and if both
veterinarian’s agree that there is an incurable, life threatening genetic defect which existed at the time of
receipt of the puppy, and provided that the puppy has been properly cared for in the purchaser’s possession,
seller then guarantees to refund the purchase price of the puppy only, minus any shipping charges and any
non-refundable deposit. Buyer will be responsible for all veterinary fee’s and return shipping expenses. A copy
of this contract must be presented upon return of a puppy. All registration papers, immunizations and health
records, and microchip information must accompany return of the puppy. Should death occur within the initial
48-hour period, seller must be notified immediately. An autopsy must be performed at a diagnostic laboratory
clinic, at the purchaser’s expense to determine the cause of death, and a written report of the findings must be

shipping or veterinary expenses. Buyer please initial and date here_________________. 

Following the initial 48 hour period, if within the first 12 months of the puppy’s life it is found to have an
incurable, life- threatening genetic illness, the buyer has the option of returning the dog to seller in exchange

in cost for a more valuable puppy. All conditions from above must be met and buyer is responsible for all
veterinary and shipping costs, both of the return and the replacement puppy. Seller will have 12 months to

concerning that defect. Defect. Buyer please initial and date here _______________.

Our goal in breeding these dogs is that each puppy be placed in a permanent, loving home and to
avoid the situation where the puppy is bounced from home to home, abused, neglected or ends up in a
shelter. As we are committed for the lifetime of the dog to make sure that it is well cared for and
REQUIRE that if, for any reason, you find that you cannot keep the dog, that it be returned to us. Under
NO circumstances may this dog be resold, given away, or placed with a rescue agency or a shelter, it
is to be returned to us. Ownership will be legally turned back over to us along with all registration papers,
microchip, vaccinations and health information. Once seller has found an appropriate home for the dog half for
what it is sold for will be returned to you, minus half of what it cost to ship the puppy back to us. Buyer please
initial here ________.

If your puppy is being sold with a spay/neuter contract, he/she should be neutered or spayed between 6-12
months of age. AKC registration papers will be retained by seller until proof has been provided that the
surgery has been performed, and they will then be released to you within 10 business days of receiving the
notice. The signed statement by the veterinarian or copy of the receipt will be sufficient proof. Buyer initial

redo those vaccinations, then the health guarantee will be considered null & void. You will receive

cause many serious if not deadly consequences. Buyer please initial here__________.
