**Please make sure the contract is read, and if you have questions - contact me. There has been a HUGE problem lately with people not abiding by this contract. Please note - spay/neuter must be completed by 6 months, whether it be on or before - NO MORE EXCEPTIONS. Do not agree to this and then ignore that fact. Too many times people have said "oh, we just needed to wait, or my vet wants to wait...". It is not ok to ignore this contract, as it is a legal binding contract. Do not wait for me to contact you with a problem**

My contract is written to insure the safety and well being of my puppies - period. While I take every step possible to make the contract fair to all parties, I understand that there are special circumstances that come up from time to time. Over the years I have modified this contract to better suit the desires of all parties involved. I provide all potential puppy buyers with our contract via internet BEFORE the puppies are born. This contract is set for public viewing, and there fore is a binding contract, whether signed or not. I am steadfast in my request that I am ALWAYS notified and allowed to take the puppy back should the need arise. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions about my policies or guarantees.
Please note that ALL of our dogs are AKC registered, first and foremost. We have made the decision to no longer offer the puppies with paperwork, with the exception of a few litters, due to breaches. If you are insistant about paperwork, contact me via email prior to purchase.
**Pups that are not going to be kept by the original buyer, as stated in the contract, must be returned to me, unless I make other arrangements for you.
*Returning a puppy is ALWAYS the responsibility of the BUYER. **If and when a pup is returned to the breeder, regardless of the issues at hand...
Buyer may or may not be refunded for the dog. Do not expect the full amount. Buyer will be responsible for ALL fees, which includes vet exams, and treatments necessary that may follow. Vet exams on returned pups is done within 3 days by my vet. Refunds, if applicable - will be based on the condition and age of the dog.
**In reference to older dogs that may be placed : **BUYERS REMORSE WARRANTS NO REFUNDS... NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!! Placing an older dog is not a task I take to lightly - it is something that I explain to you, and make sure you understand. But dogs are not store items, you cannot just take them a few days to try them out, and bring them back.
**Older dogs that are placed with open registration: - Are sold with absolutely no guarantees and no refunds are given on dogs sold in this manner. We cannot and will not guarantee how the dog will work in your situation, the breeding ability of the animal, and so on. Buying an older animal for breeding is a risk that the buyer assumes, plain and simple. Again - no guarantees, no refunds. We have never purchased older animals, especially not for breeding purposes.
***"NEW PUPPY" NOTE TO ALL PARENTS***
"The change of environment may be traumatic and cause stress-related
problems:
a.. Coccidiosis (a type of intestinal infection)
b.. Tracheobronchitis (a relatively minor upper respiratory problem) and / or kennel cough
c.. Hypoglycemia
d.. Dehydration (usually from not drinking enough water)
These physical problems are often brought on by unavoidable stress, and are
similar to problems you might have if you were moving to a new area. Just
like you, the puppy may not eat or sleep as regularly as it would in more
familiar surroundings. Some puppies ease through the transition to their new
home, while others may have harder time. If stress-related problems are
ignored, secondary problems can become serious, even life threatening. "
**While we do our best to make sure our pups are completely healthy when going to a new home, we are only human and not fortune tellers and cannot read the future. Issues such as coccidia and kennel cough may arise (see above) amongst some other common puppy ailments that were not present at time of delivery. Some of these common ailments have longer incubation periods so may or may not show up at time of "delivery". Please know that if your puppy experiences any of this, please contact us. While these common items are visited in our contract and are not covered, we would still like to know.**
