annual booster
immunizations. Additionally, male show dogs have been checked
and
verification has been made that both testicles have descended at the
time
of pickup. _____________ (Initial) Accidents can
happen with new puppy dogs, and
this contract does not cover testicle trauma after the puppy goes to his new home.
The Breeder warrants the puppy 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, proper
nutrition, fresh water,
shelter, training and supervision. The breeder
has made every effort to breed healthy
dogs and has raised this puppy to
the best of her ability.
It is recommended by the Breeder that the Buyer take the puppy to a
Veterinarian of his/her
choice and gives seven days from the date of
delivery of the puppy 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 to the Breeder
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 transportation costs involved are the responsibility of
the
Buyer. This puppy is guaranteed
not to develop PRA
or pass on the gene for PRA as both of the parents are
negative
for the gene via parentage
or by testing.
This puppy is guaranteed to pass OFA hip certification
through the age of 30 months
(2 ˝ years). If a puppy is thought
to have a genetic defect, hip X-rays must be taken per
OFA
recommendations and submitted to The Orthopedic Foundation for
Animals (OFA)
Puppy must be micro-chipped and DNA’ed. 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.
Buyer must show proof that puppy is spayed or neutered
and may obtain a replacement puppy ,

Buyer is responsible for

C. REGISTRATION
The Breeder certifies that the dog has been
registered under the Regulations of the American
Kennel Club as a

ownership
of this registration as soon as they are received from AKC.
Buyer agrees that the Breeders kennel name prefix “GREESONS”

certificate, and understands that the puppy
will be named and
originally registered with AKC by the
Breeder, and also
agrees that the registered name will not be changed.

with AKC within 60 days

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 Buyer agrees that this puppy will not be raised on slippery
surfaces, not be 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 as 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 ,and anything that promotes
rapid weight gain.

of food please
stick to ADULT formulas with no higher then 23% protein.
E

Bitches which are purchased as family companions only and dogs which are
judged not to be
of show and breeding quality should be spayed or
neutered when they near maturity,

fanciers in evaluating
the puppies as to show or pet quality. There
