BUYER AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES:

  1. To have the puppy examined within (3) business days of taking possession of the puppy by a licensed and reputable *veterinarian to validate this guarantee. If the health of the puppy is found to be at risk due to a *debilitating congenital defect (existing at birth), the buyer shall notify the breeder and provide a written statement from a licensed veterinarian describing the puppy’s condition.  The puppy shall be returned, at the Buyer’s expense, along with the papers, to the breeder within three days of the examination.  Breeder will replace puppy or refund money at Breeder’s sole election and discretion, provided puppy is in the same condition mentally and physically as when originally purchased.  This does not include worms, fleas, mites, cocci, Giardia, or any other parasites, as they are common in dogs and puppies.
  2. The puppy is not being purchased for resale, breeding purposes, and will never be sold to a pet shop, puppy mill, or agent of the same.
  3. Buyer is not to register the puppy under any other Pet Registry, other than the American Kennel Club. (AKC)
  4. To register the microchip within seven business days of receiving the puppy.
  5. To provide all annual vet exams, to continue all required vaccine shots as recommended by their vet, and proper vet care.  The puppy must receive all the necessary vaccinations and yearly boosters.  Failure to comply with and provide documentation of these requirements voids all guarantees.
  6. To provide adequate housing away from the elements. Buyer will have a fenced yard or kennel if the dog will be housed outside.  The dog will NEVER be left on a chain.  The Buyer will groom, train, and care for this dog in the manner consistent with high-quality animal husbandry.

  8. The Breeder highly recommends that the Buyer provide basic obedience training with their puppy within the first year of owning their dog.
  9. The Buyer allows the Breeder to use any pictures of the dog that are sent to them or posted on social media for the purposes of sharing on the website, newsletter, and the Breeder’s social media accounts.
  10. Time is of the essence. The laws of the State of Arkansas shall govern this agreement. If, for any reason, litigation should occur, the venue shall lie in Scott County, Arkansas.  The breeder will not be responsible for any costs associated with this process.

SPAY AND NEUTER AGREEMENT

Spaying/neutering/sterilization by a licensed, reputable veterinarian is required on the above puppy within 30 months of age by age 2 ½ years old, but not before 12 months.  Studies have found that spayed or neutered dogs are more likely to be overweight or obese.

Dogs fixed before 6 months have a much higher rate of orthopedic injuries, and keeping dogs lean did not prevent those injuries.

*Spaying or neutering before 18 months nulls and voids the health guarantee.

LIMITATIONS OF GUARANTEE:

This guarantee is non-transferable and not subject to assignment.  This guarantee is an exclusive guarantee between Breeder and Buyer.  The puppy must be in good physical condition.  No replacement will be given if the dog has been bred.  A licensed, reputable veterinarian must perform all laboratory verifications.  The Buyer is responsible for all transportation costs to and from the Breeder.  The breeder is not responsible for any veterinarian expenses accumulated on a returned or replaced dog or puppy.  The breeder’s sole expense and thus the limit on the Buyer’s damages shall be the price paid by the Buyer to the Breeder for the puppy cost.

THE FOLLOWING 1-7 WILL VOID ALL GUARANTEES IN THE DISCRETION OF THE BREEDER:

  1. Buyer permitting the dog to be underfed or overfed at any time.
    1. Underfed: Ribs are highly visible.
    2. Ideal Body Condition: Can feel the outline of ribs.  A dog has a waist when viewed from above.  Belly is tucked when viewed from the side.
