Agreement


_______  (Initial) Seller warrants that the said animal(s) is/are healthy at the time of pick-up/ shipping.

BUYER HAS THREE ( 3 ) DAYS FROM PICK-UP DATE TO HAVE THIS ANIMAL INSPECTED AND TESTED BY THEIR OWN VET. After 3 days any illness will be presumed to have been introduced AFTER the animal has left our property and is no longer the responsibility of the Seller. ‘Purchase date’ is the date listed on this contract or the date shipped.

______ (Initial) Seller guarantees  the fertility of any dog sold with full registration and breeding rights under these terms: *Infertility due to lack of care, surgery, poor nutrition, disease, accident, and/or injury will NOT be covered! 

*Buyer must notify Seller at the time the issue first arrises or at the time Buyer first thinks there may be a problem. MALE DOGS are guaranteed to have two descended testicles and viable sperm by one year of age. FEMALE DOGS are guaranteed to be able to produce a litter by two years of age (with proof of proper breeding/cover).  *Female bitch must not show any signs of having whelped a litter or prior C-section. *NO offspring must have been produced at any time. *NO offspring must be registered or listed through AKC or any registry now or at any time. *Any defect MUST be verified and documented by a licensed veterinarian. *Any sperm defects must be verified by a reproduction specialist or lab with documented proof ( sperm must be collected under controlled environment no less than two separate times at least 2 weeks apart by a specialist. Dog must not have been bred or collected at least twenty-four hours prior to analysis.) *Documented proof must be submitted to Seller along with all contact information of the veterinarian(s) involved. * Dog MUST be either spayed or neutered at Buyers expense after Seller is notified of the problem AFTER defects have been noted by a licensed veterinarian and AFTER Seller clears the dog to be altered. *Seller has the right to have the dog inspected by our own veterinarian at our expense. If the dog proves to be fertile it will be returned to Buyer at the Buyer’s expense and Buyer will be responsible for all relative veterinary and lab costs incurred  by Seller (SO-.if you collect your male dog just prior to having a clinic collect him so that it falsely appears that the dog has few to no sperm… In the end this is fraud and will cost you a lot of money after we prove the fertility of the animal.) Refusal to cover all relative veterinary/ clinic expenses paid by the Seller and/or refusal to pick up your dog within two weeks of the findings will result in Buyer loosing all legal rights to this dog and full legal ownership returning to Seller. *Upon completion of all terms and at the Seller’s discretion, Seller will either refund the price difference between their ‘pet price’ ($2800.00 for standard colors or $3000.00 for unique colors) and ‘full registration/ breeding’ price (amount listed above under ‘price to be paid’) OR replace the infertile dog with a puppy of equal value. If any puppy is produced from this dog after the replacement/ refund is given Buyer faces a $10,000.00 fine and WILL face fraud charges.




* These animals are sold with the understanding they will become an integral part of your family. Buyer agrees that the dog will not be mistreated or neglected and that Buyer will provide all necessary shelter, food, water, exercise, attention, love, and veterinary care needed to keep these animals healthy and happy.
