Puppy Contract & Guarantee
I believe you will find this the most extensive guarantee (covers more genetic disease/ temperament and for a longer time) offered by anyone raising shepherds.
Pet Guarantee: Until your pup is 2 years old!
1. Seller guarantees puppy or dog to be healthy at the time of sale to the best of her ability.
2. Seller guarantees that the puppy or dog has been on a set deworming program and is up to date on the proper and appropriate vaccinations.
3. Seller guarantees the puppy or dog to be free from HIP Dysplasia, (rated moderate or severe by OFA- or grade 2 or above on elbows )(mild HD and grade one elbows seldom show problems even in old age:)EXCEPTION if just one elbow is effected even a slight injury can cause elbows to fuse wrong. Genetic elbows are when both elbows are affected.
4. Seller guarantees the puppy or dog to be free of Spinal Myopathy, as well as genetic heart, and pancreas conditions until pup is 5 years of age. NO OTHER guarantees exist either stated or implied.
5. Seller Guarantees puppy to have a temperament that is not extremely shy or extremely aggressive for a period of two years.
6. Seller will take puppy back within 10 days after purchase for any reason with full refund- minus deposit, shipping/delivery expense is buyer's responsibility.
Provided :( Guarantee invalid unless :)
1. The dog has been fed a high quality food (not soy based) and not been subject to an accident or injury that may have caused the condition.
2. The dog or puppy has not been sold to a second party or stayed with another owner than the buyer stated on this agreement.
3. That buyer is in good standing with the American Kennel Club.
4. Said dog, Male or female must have never produced a litter or all guarantees are invalid.
5. Unless this contract is signed and returned to me within ten days of purchase all guarantees are void (If I don't have a signed contract from you the puppy is sold as is no guarantee at all.)
Terms of Guarantee: (read carefully)
*Seller is not responsible for any future vet bills of any puppy or dog purchased from Paradise Creek. Buyer must provide written statements, addresses & phone numbers from 2 licensed veterinarians or the Orthopedic Animals Foundation statement( for hips & elbows) rated moderate or severe by OFA) that the dog has a genetic defect covered by this agreement. For hips and elbows I will now only accept OFA or PennHip evaluation. If the dog is determined to have a genetic defect than the seller will replace the puppy with another puppy of equal or higher value at the first available litter. Buyer May keep original Pup! Seller is under no obligation to refund the money paid for the puppy but may do so if it is agreeable to both the Buyer and the Seller. Under no circumstances is the seller responsible for any future vet bills or health care bills the puppy may require. Shipment of the replacement puppy will be at the buyer's expense. If the buyer wishes to keep the first puppy with the crippling disease the cost of the puppy may be refunded if agreed by both parties, breeder may choose to return 1/2 purchase price only.
Refund/replacement: full replacement puppy or 1/2 purchase price at sellers discretion *YOU DO NOT NEED TO RETURN PUP/DOG with the genetic defect!*
Terms of Temperament Guarantee:
Buyer must provide written statements, addresses & phone numbers from 2 licensed veterinarians or 1 vet and one certified trainer that the said dog is extremely shy or aggressive, dog must have completed at least one obedience class, and certified to have done so. Seller will refund 1/2 the money of the purchase price of said dog. (Temper is half environment.) Replacement puppy may be provided at discretion of the breeder. Said dog must be "put down" by the buyer's vet-- or returned to breeder at buyer's expense.
Reduced Guarantee: Any puppy sold for under $500, or is still being paid for or that is not registered with the AKC by the age of one year will be sold under this guarantee. This applies to only # 1 & 2 under the pet guarantee. No replacement or refund exists under this guarantee and as with all guarantees in this contract, seller is never obligated to pay any future vet bills/expenses of any puppy purchased at Paradise Creek.
