We believe that since we have chosen to bring our puppies into the world, it is our duty to provide the best we can for them. With this understanding in mind, we are now putting our trust in you to provide for their overall well being for the lifetime of the dog.

If at any time in the dog’s life you can no longer care for him/her due to lifestyle changes, financial hardship, or other extenuating circumstances we agree to take back the dog into our care (AKC papers must be furnished and no financial refunds will be given).

The seller shall be granted right of first refusal in any circumstance in which this dog might be sold or re-homed for any reason. Buyer agrees to notify to seller upon making any decision to re-home this dog.

The Buyer's Responsibility: The buyer agrees to have the dog examined by a veterinarian at your expense within 3 days from date of taking possession of the puppy. If the veterinarian does not give the dog a clean bill of health, buyer must notify the seller immediately for a return/replacement puppy. Seller reserves the right to have the dog re-examined by our veterinarian at our cost. Any condition that is correctable, or deemed as minor will not be covered. No condition which likely would go away / considered to be a condition which a puppy will likely grow out of is covered.

If the dog is then found not to be in good health, Seller will resume possession if this is agreeable to both parties.

The Buyer agrees to take good care of this dog, feed and house the dog properly, maintain annual inoculations and veterinary examinations.

Intended Purpose: Puppy is warranted only for the purpose of being a companion/ sport animal, not for any other reasons. No warranty is given to the buyer for any specific purpose or function of this dog.

• A predicted adult size or weight.

• A certain coat texture or color at adulthood.

• A specific behavior profile.

• Performance & trial success.
