Puppy Guarantee & Sales Agreement
1) To the best of our knowledge and belief at the time of sale, the health and temperament of this dog is excellent. The required vaccinations and wormings are as indicated on the health records you will receive. We advise the Buyer, however, to have the dog examined by a licensed veterinarian of Buyers choice within 72 hours after receipt of the dog. We recommend you take a stool sample with you for testing at this time. If the veterinarian finds the dog to be in poor health or to have any genetic defect, the dog must be immediately returned to us at the Buyers expense, for a replacement of equal value, unless other arrangements are mutually agreed upon. Failure to see a veterinarian within 72 hours will void all guarantees.
2) The Seller will guarantee this dog for up to TWO (2) years against any genetic defects including hip/elbow dysplasia, if they become apparent in this time period and if the dog has been proven to have been cared for appropriately with the correct diet, exercise, and prevention of stress injuries, appropriate place of residence and overall care. We strongly recommend that you have the dog OFA Certified at or before the age of TWO (2) years. Testing and x-rays must confirm any of these defects by a licensed veterinarian. We will replace the dog as soon as possible with a replacement of equal value at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to request that the testing and x-rays be sent to us first for review by a board certified radiologist of our choice. Should the buyer prefer to retain the said dog, the buyer thereby forfeits any replacement, unless other arrangements are mutually agree upon.
3) Buyer understands the dog has heretofore been fed a diet of NutriSource Large Breed and strongly encourages the Buyer to continue this diet or another pre-approved, large breed puppy food for the health and comfort of the dog. Should the Buyer elect to change this diet, the Buyer understands that we cannot be held responsible for health problems associated with this dietary change. A puppy should receive a minimum of 3-4 feedings per day up to the age of six months, then a minimum of 2-3 feedings a day till the age of 18 months where upon it can be cut to 2 feedings per day.
4) The Seller retains the right to periodically contact the Buyer with progress updates of the dog for the first 12 month period following the sale of the dog to insure the dog and Buyer are both satisfied and building a healthy relationship. If news of neglect or abuse is proven without a doubt, the Seller will have the right to reposess the dog immediately without refund.
5) Buyer agrees to allow Seller the right of first refusal should the Buyer decide to sell, relinquish or transfer this dog.
