Name: _____________________________________________
Address: ___________________________________________
___________________________________________________
Phone Number: ______________________________________
Description:
Breed: ___________________________(color)______________ Male / Female puppy
From (sire)_____________________________________________(AKC#______________)
Out of (dam) ___________________________________________ (AKC#______________)
Born: __________________ AKC Litter Number: ___________________________
Said puppy is being sold as Show / Companion / Companion-Disqualifying quality. Total Purchase price to be: $_________
with a down payment of $___________ and the balance to be paid: _______________________________________________
Definition:
Show puppy: Considered by the breeder to be within all breed standards, and offered on full registration. If the puppy is properly conditioned and shown by a competent presenter, the puppy should meet a judges scrutiny and be capable of winning points towards his/her championship. These puppies are considered the "cream" of the crop.
Companion: Considered by the breeder to be within all breed standards, and offered on limited registration (can not be used for breeding and is not eligible for comformation events at AKC sanctioned shows.) The Buyer further agrees to have the puppy spayed/neutered prior to his/her one year birthday. Companion puppies are generally quality puppies, but don't have the extra "edge" that is necessary to win championship points in competition.
Companion-Disqualifying: Considered by the breeder to have a fault or disqualifying feature that would prevent the dog from being exhibited in conformation events. Sold on limited registration, the Buyer agrees to have the puppy spayed/neutered prior to his/her one year birthday.
Specific Faults: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Guarantees:
Buyer agrees to have puppy evaluated by their vet within 72 hours of purchase to confirm purchase of healthy puppy. Failure to pass "well puppy" exam will allow for return of puppy and all paperwork and full refund or replacement (when available) per Buyer's choice. After 72 hours, no monies will be refunded. Shipping and vet charges will be the full responsibility of the Buyer.
Puppy is being sold "as is." Being a living creature that will go through growth stages and developmental stress, I can not guarantee that the puppy will not be afflicted with hereditary related issues. Parents have been tested prior to breeding for related hereditary issues, and to the best of my knowledge are tested "clear". Should this puppy develop hereditary issues, a replacement puppy of equal or greater value will be made available at a later date. Hereditary issues will include hip dysplasia (up to 3 years of age); cardio issues (up to 5 years of age); thyroid issues (up to 5 years of age); eye issues (up to 5 years of age). The original puppy shall be spayed/neutered and a statement of that surgery shall be sent to the Seller from the veterinarian. If the original puppy is bred prior to testing, no replacements shall be offered.
Buyer agrees that the puppy shall be kept on a commercially prepared diet (per information in puppy package).
Buyer agrees to maintain the puppy on vaccination protocol outlined in puppy package per state requirements.
Buyer agrees to provide adequate food, water, excersize as needed by a dog of this size.
Buyer agrees to take the puppy through a basic obedience class between 4 and 8 months of age.
Buyer agrees the puppy is to be an "INDOOR" dog and provide a completely fenced yard for play/excersize.
Buyer agrees the puppy is to sleep indoors at night, and never be left outdoors in extreme temperatures or for extended periods of time.
Buyer agrees that the puppy will not be sold, or given away without first notifying Seller and will never be surrendered into a "Rescue" situation.
