CONDITIONS OF SALE
The Seller guaranteed that at the time of transfer, the dog is in good health.
Should the dog be found in poor health of a serious nature, Seller will refund
purchase price in full.
If Buyer decides, within 3 months of purchase date, that they are not satisfied with the dog, dog must be returned to Seller. A partial refund will be given providing the dog is mentally, physically, and emotionally sound. No refund will be given if Buyer did not comply with breeder’s requirements for successful companionship (socialization, care, and training). Under no circumstances will a refund be given because the dog did not fall into a certain size category or coat type. (Although we try to accommodate your cosmetic requests, health and temperament are our first priority.)
The following conditions apply to the sale of the dog named above:
· The
buyer has THREE (3) DAYS from receipt of dog to have dog examined by a
Veterinarian. Any request to return the dog to the seller for a full refund
must be made within this time period and may only be requested should the dog
prove to be seriously sick upon examination. Proof of examination must be
provided to the seller. This guarantee will be terminated if dog is not
examined within allotted time.
·
A warranty against all serious
life-altering genetic diseases is provided for two (2) years after the date of
sale and must be determined by at least two veterinarians.
·
A warranty against
debilitating HD (Hip Displaysia) is provided for two (2) years after the date of
sale. The guarantee for HD will be terminated should dog be allowed to become
overweight or be involved in any physical trauma that could cause lameness of
any time or duration. Should dog be found to have debilitating HD within its
first two years, Buyer must provide Seller with proof in the form of
documentation from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals or from Penn HIP. We
reserve the right to have a veterinarian of our choice confirm the results
before replacement or refund is made. If HD is confirmed, buyer is entitled to a
replacement pup or a $500.00 refund.
·
Warranties shall apply
only to the original purchaser. Transfer of dog ownership shall void all
provisions of this agreement.
·
Under no circumstances shall
Seller be liable to the Buyer or to any third party for a dog that has been
subjected to abuse, accident, negligence, or misuse. Also, under no
circumstances shall the seller be liable for any consequential, incidental, or
special damages resulting from, or in manner related to, the dog itself.
·
Upon execution of
this contract all veterinary care and its associated costs are the sole and
exclusive responsibility of the buyer.

Buyer agrees to maintain the dog in good health, provide routine prevention
health care including, but not limited to, inoculation, internal and external
parasites and prevention medication (i.e. prevention of fleas/ticks, heartworm,
ear mites/infections, etc.). Veterinary records must be provided to the breeder
if requesting refund or replacement. If any of the above preventative care has
not been provided, health warranty will be void.
Buyer agrees to provide proper indoor shelter and socialization for dog. (The dog is meant to be a human/family companion and needs to be treated as such to maintain physical and mental well-being.)
Buyer agrees to feed the dog quality dog food made specifically for large breed dogs.
Buyer agrees to keep the dog’s coat brushed regularly and free of excessive matting. Buyer also agrees to employ the help of a professional groomer, if needed, to keep the dog and his coat healthy and manageable.
