Use
of the Dog:
It is agreed between Breeder and Buyer that this dog is being
acquired as a family companion dog or for a working dog to
be
used for tasks appropriate to its breed such as therapy dog or for
exhibition in AKC conformation, obedience, or agility competition.
Buyer agrees that the dog is not purchased for resale nor will it
be used or trained for activities which are illegal or
for which it is not suited by reason of temperament or
conformation.
Specifically it will not be used as a guard or attack dog or to
hunt or fight other animals.
The Buyer agrees that he/she will not sell, transfer ownership or
possession of the puppy or any of his/her progeny
to any person or organization whose intent it is to resell (pet
store), trade, or give away the dog, or use it in any experiments,
laboratory or otherwise or to use it as breeding stock for a puppy
mill.
B.
Health:
The Breeder
warrants the dog has been examined by a veterinarian and to be in
excellent health and free from parasites
at the time of purchase/pickup, but has not made and does not now
make any further warranties as to the puppy’s
condition after pickup. It is the Buyers responsibility to prevent
illness and injury by providing necessary booster
vaccinations, veterinary care, nutrition, fresh water, shelter and
supervision.
Further, the
Breeder warrants that both the sire and dam's hips and elbows have
been X-Rayed and evaluated
by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), and have been
found to free of canine hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia.
Both parents are free of PRA either by testing or via parentage.
It is recommended by the Breeder that the Buyer take the puppy to
a Veterinarian of his/her choice and gives seven days
in which to do so. If,
within those seven days, a veterinarian finds the puppy to be
unsound, unhealthy, or possessing a
serious genetic defect, a statement in writing must be
provided by that veterinarian documenting said condition for
Breeders’ veterinarian to review. Upon confirmation from
Breeders’ vet of said condition, Buyer may return the
puppy,
registration and all of his/her effects to the Breeder and receive
a full, immediate refund of the purchase price.
All precautions have been made to insure that this puppy is in
excellent health at the time of purchase including
vaccinations at 8 weeks of age and deworming on a regular
basis.
(2,4,6 and 8 weeks of age, using Strongid and Panacur).
A final health check has been made by Breeders veterinarian
and a health certificate is
included in your new puppy packet.
It is recommended that additional vaccinations be given at
11 and 14 weeks, with an annual booster immunization.
Additionally, male show dogs have been checked and verification
has been made that both testicles have descended
at the time of pickup. Accidents can happen with new puppy dogs,
however, this contract does not cover testicle trauma
after the puppy goes to his new home.
Additional
Health Guarantee:
This puppy is guaranteed until the age of one year against any
serious genetic health problem, and is also
guaranteed to pass OFA hip certification through the age of
30 months (2 ½ years).
If a puppy is thought
to have a genetic defect regarding it’s hips, hip X-rays
must be taken per
OFA recommendations
and submitted to The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
Puppy must be
micro-chipped and microchip number recorded on the xrays. Copies
of OFA findings must be submitted to the
seller/breeder. Defects must be proven to be genetic and not
caused by environmental factors
or mishandling by the buyer.
Any other serious genetic problem needs to be diagnosed by the
Buyers’ veterinarian and reports
sent to the Seller/Breeder.
The Breeder will present the veterinarian reports to her
veterinarian for review to confirm
whether the defect is genetic in nature.
If puppy does not pass OFA for hip certification, or has a
confirmed genetic defect, Buyer must show proof that puppy is
spayed or neutered via a vet certificate and may obtain
a replacement puppy , when available, from seller/breeder at
75% off of the original selling price. Breeding
the dog or bitch voids any guarantee.
Buyer is responsible for transportation costs on the replacement
puppy.
C.
Registration:
The Breeder certifies that the dog is eligible for registration
under the Regulations of the American Kennel Club as
a purebred Mastiff and will provide the proper forms for such a
registration. Buyer
agrees that the Breeders kennel
name prefix GREESONS
will be at the beginning of the puppy’s registered name on
the Registration certificate and
understands that the puppy will be registered and named by the
breeder.
Buyer agrees not to change the registered name at any time without
written permission from the breeder.
D.
Ownership
Responsibilities:
The Buyer agrees to maintain the dog in a humane environment and
properly train and care for it.
Specifically the dog will be properly licensed and
Inoculated against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and other
communicable diseases as recommended by a qualified
veterinarian.
The dog will not be allowed to roam and will be socialized and
obedience trained appropriately.
The Breeders will microchip the puppy before it is released.
The Buyer agrees that this puppy will not be raised on slippery
surfaces, or allowed to bound up and down stairs,
rough-house with larger dogs, jump down from heights or out of
cars, etc, as this type of activity will contribute
to the breakdown of joints and growing bones, dislocation of
shoulders, hips and damaged elbows.
The Buyer further agrees that the puppy’s weight will be under
strict supervision until the dog reaches his/her
second birthday. It is far better to have the dog slightly
underweight then overweight, because excess weight
contributes to structural breakdown of the dog. Buyer also agrees
nothing will be given to the dog that would
encourage rapid growth; including steroids, nutritional
supplements other than Nupro, and anything that promotes
rapid weight gain. A high quality, low protein adult formula
dog food is recommended.
The breeder uses Eagle Pack Large and Giant Breed Puppy food ,
supplemented with Nupro Silver,
and strongly recommends that this puppy be raised on the same
food.
Feeding any other diet will void
any guarantees made to the buyer in this contract.
( I have 40 years of experience with nutrition in dogs and have
learned the hard way what works and what does not –
I do not feel obligated to guarantee any puppy that is not fed
correctly)
E.
Spay
& Neutering:
Bitches which are purchased as family companions and dogs which
are judged not to be of show and breeding quality
should be spayed or neutered when they near maturity, 12 months
for bitches and 18 months for dogs.
F.
"Show
Quality" Dogs:
The Breeders will use their best judgment and the advice of other
fanciers in evaluating the puppies as to show or pet
quality.
There is no guarantee that a puppy evaluated as "Show
Quality" will be successful in the show ring as an adult and
no warranties are made to that effect. The Breeders
encourage owners to participate in the sport of purebred
dogs
and may be available to assist Buyers in preparing and showing
dogs, which are evaluated to be of show quality.
The breeder also has no controll over the breeding potential of
any puppy as an adult and makes no guarantee
as to the success of this animal as breeding stock.
G.
Right
of Recovery/Placement:
In the event that the Buyer's are unable to keep the dog or
provide an appropriate home in accordance with this agreement,
the dog with its title/registration will not be
transferred to any person or organization other then the Breeder,
whether by sale, gift, loan or otherwise, unless agreed to
by the Breeder in writing.
Buyers agree to notify
the Breeder if any such contingency arises and will not abandon
the dog to a shelter or sell
or give the dog away. If dog is found to have been sold or
given away without Breeders knowledge and said
breeder discovers this,
Breeder will take legal action and original Buyer of the dog will
be responsible
for all legal expenses incurred.
The Breeder wishes to ensure that this dog is always in a place
where he/she will be properly cared for.
Buyer agrees that he/she has read and understands the terms and
conditions of this contract fully.
This contract is under the jurisdiction of the state of
Florida, in the county of Lake.
It is agreed the place of venue shall be in Lake County, Florida.
Any breech of this contract could be detrimental to the name
and
reputation of the seller/breeder and the breeder/seller will be
entitled to 5 times the purchase price of the
puppy including but not limited to attorneys fees, court cost, any
and all expenses acquired and (or) the puppy
back.
All other states and counties are asked to please accept
this contract as legally binding and enforceable.
This
contract is designed to protect the Mastiff and its future
