The Buyer asserts that they have adequate facilities to care for the Puppy including a fenced yard, and agrees to provide reasonable care and concern for the Puppy, providing adequate food, socialization, and shelter and routine veterinary care. Failure to adequately provide for the Puppy's welfare, such as but not limited to failure to provide sufficient nutritious foods or to provide a reasonably safe and enriched environment, voids any and all guarantees for replacement.

This Puppy is guaranteed against development of Hip Dysplasia, as determined by a board certified radiologist acceptable to the Seller, or by radiographic certification by an accredited agency such as OFA etc by the age of 2 years. The Buyer agrees not to engage in training events with the Puppy that would place undue strain on the growth plates and joints until a minimum of 18 months is attained, or this Hip Dysplasia warranty is voided. Such training would include, but is not limited to, Agility, Schutzhund, Obedience of CDX level or higher, or any other training regimen which would require the Puppy to jump any height above 12" prior to the age of 18 months.

This Puppy is further warranted against the development of genetic defects such as PRA, cataracts, or heart defects for a term of two years. In the event that this Puppy must be replaced, the Buyer shall have the right to replacement with a puppy of equal value out of the next available litter agreeable to both parties. In such circumstance, the Buyer has the option to either return the original Puppy or neuter it and provide proof of neutering to the Seller before the replacement will occur. Said replacement is the sole remedy of the Buyer; and all necessary transportation costs to effect this replacement are the responsibility of the Buyer.

The Seller asserts that the Buyer has been apprised of the importance of health testing any Puppy intended for breeding purposes. The Buyer agrees never to use the Puppy for breeding unless it has been certified free of Hip Dysplasia.

In the event of circumstances which would force the Buyer to give up the dog, such as but not limited to loss of home, catastrophic illness, financial crisis etc, the Buyer agrees never to surrender the puppy to any animal shelter or rescue organization, instead returning the Puppy to the Seller, who will then arrange for suitable rehoming as possible.

This agreement is binding only between the listed parties, and no part of this agreement is transferable to any other party. All parties undersigned agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
This Agreement is signed as of this date:__________________
