HEALTH GUARANTEE:
Note: the Buyer/Owner has to agree to perform OFA x-rays on hips and elbows after the purchased pup turns 24 months old
to qualify for this guarantee. If a pup’s preliminary x-rays have been done by the Breeder before it left the Breeder’s home,
the puppy still must be x-rayed after it turns 24 months old to obtain OFA official certifications to qualify for guarantees on
this contract. The cost for the OFA x-rays and other health tests are equally split between the Owner and the Breeder.
Due to the variety and quality of available dog foods, the Breeder requires that ALL of her puppies be kept on:
a.
b.
c.
NuVet Labs nutritional supplement, "NuVet Plus Canine" until 2 yrs. of age. This supplement is very important for
immune system. This supplement can be ordered from NuVet Labs at 1-800-474-7044 using order code # 79837 or
http://www.nuvet.com/79837, or an equal quality supplement.
A Good Glucosamine Supplement which feeds the cartilage of the joint. We recommend NutriVet Hip/Joint wafers.
Failure to keep your pet on this supplement, or equal quality supplement will render all guarantees null and void.
----------- (Please write your initials) NOTE: please keep the supplement receipts for a proof.
All our pups are guaranteed against crippling genetic diseases detected within 5 years of age. The Breeder must be notified
immediately and provided with a licensed veterinarian’s report. Any claims must be made within this time period and will be
verified by the Breeder’s own veterinarian. The Breeder needs to have a copy of the x-rays. PLEASE REQUEST FROM
YOUR VET THE X-RAYS IMAGES TO BE SENT TO THE BREEDER.
In case if the puppy has minor faults that are not health related, but disqualify this pup from a breeding program (large
umbilical hernia, ear not erect, un-descended testicle, etc.) the Buyer/Owner will receive the option to purchase another
puppy at a half price. If the purchased dog receives OFA rating less than Fair for hips and Normal elbows, the option of
getting another puppy free of charge will be offered. The Buyer will be required to pay all related shipping costs to get a
replacement puppy and to return the first puppy back to the Seller/Breeder, if the Buyer does not want it. Papers must be sent
to the Breeder with correct transfer signatures. The Buyer may keep the first puppy if he/she chooses to. A copy of a
Spay/Neuter certificate is required before the Seller provides a replacement puppy. NO CASH REFUNDS GIVEN.
If the puppy’ OFA a report comes back with the result of subluxation, the Buyer must repeat the x-rays at a later time at
his/her own expense (at least 6 months after date of original x-ray) before determining that the puppy will not pass
OFA/OVC. No refunds will be given for a report of Panosteoitis (growing pains), as proper feeding can control this and the
puppy should outgrow it.

LIMITATION OF THE CONTRACT
1. If the pup/dog is used heavily for agility, open obedience, or any other strenuous activity including road working, quad
working or forced jogging by treadmills or the opposite extreme and is restricted to a travel crate for prolonged extended
routine periods of time without easy regular exercise resulting in underdeveloped muscle tone prior to being 12 months of
age, environmentally induced hip or elbow dysplasia and other joint problems may develop. If these factors are factors in
diagnoses, it is left to the breeder's discretion to honor this agreement. The Seller/Breeder may reserve the right for the
prompt return of said dog.
2. This Contract applies to the original Buyer/Owner only and not transferable to a second party. The Breeder must receive
signed contract within 30 days of receipt of dog or it will be considered invalid.
3. Please note: the Breeder does not guarantee that pup’s coat will stay pure white, nor that the dark nose pigment will not
fade, as some pups develop some cream in their coat, or the nose may lighten as they mature, which is perfectly normal and
does not affect the health of the puppy. The Breeder does not guarantee that the pup will win at the conformation shows, or
performance trials.
4. This guarantee does not cover common Giardia, Coccidia, or other intestinal parasites that puppies frequently pick up.

certified letter, the buyer shall have 72 hours to return the dog and the signed AKC registration transfer to the seller at his
own expense. If the Buyer/Owner fails to do so, the seller shall have the legal right to repossess the dog and get a signed
AKC registration transfer application from the Buyer/Owner without refunding any money. In addition, the Buyer/Owner
shall be liable for any expenses incurred in the process of repossession (including attorney’s fees and court costs), and
veterinary expenses to restore the dog to good health, if necessary. If it is not possible for the buyer to return the dog and
AKC registration transfer, the Breeder/Co-owner will recover the greater sum of $1,500, or the purchase price of the dog, as
damages for breach of this contract. The parties to this contract agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Erie County of the
New York State for any dispute arising out of this contract.
