AKC Limited Registration and Spay/Neuter Agreement:
This puppy is being sold as a family companion or pet with AKC limited registration.
Purchaser agrees to precede this puppy’s registered AKC name with the breeder’s kennel prefix.
Purchaser agrees that this dog shall not be bred.
Purchaser agrees to have this dog spayed or neutered before this dog reaches 18 months of age.

Health Guarantee:
Breeder guarantees this puppy, to the best of her knowledge, to be healthy upon the date purchaser receives possession of this puppy. If, within 10 days after receipt of the puppy by the purchaser, a veterinarian states in writing that the puppy has a health problem that existed in the puppy at the time of delivery or if, at any
time during this puppy’s life after receipt of puppy by the purchaser (state law is “within one year after
receipt of the animal by the purchaser”), a veterinarian states in writing that due to a hereditary or congenital defect the dog has died or has a condition that will shorten its life or will require constant treatment during its life, the breeder guarantees the purchaser one of the following remedies:
1) Return of the dog to the seller for a refund of the full purchase price of the dog;
2) Exchange of the dog for a dog of the purchaser's choice of equivalent value, providing a replacement is available; or
3) Retainment of the dog and reimbursement for 1/2 of the reasonable veterinary fees not to exceed 1/2 of the original purchase price of the dog.
The fee for veterinary service is reasonable if the service is appropriate for the diagnosis and treatment of the health problem and the fee for the service is comparable to fees charged by other veterinarians who are in proximity to the treating veterinarian.
To obtain the remedies provided by the breeder:
1) The purchaser must notify the seller, within 2 business days, of the diagnosis by a veterinarian of a health problem and provide the seller with the name and telephone number of the veterinarian and a copy of the veterinarian report on the animal.
2) If the purchaser wishes to receive a full refund for the puppy, the purchaser must return the puppy no later than 2 business days after receipt of a written statement from a veterinarian indicating that the puppy is unfit due to a health problem. With respect to a dead dog, the purchaser must provide the seller with a written statement from a veterinarian indicating that the dog died from a health problem that existed on or before the receipt of the dog by the purchaser.
In all cases the breeder reserves the right to have this dog examined by a licensed veterinarian of the
breeder’s choice for a second opinion. If the purchaser requests a remedy for this dog under this guarantee and the examination of the alleged defect by a licensed veterinarian of the breeder’s choice determines that the defect is a health issue that did not exist in this dog before the date of purchase of this dog by the perchaser, or determines that the alleged heredity defect is not inherited, but instead caused by trauma, stress, obesity, neglect, abuse or any NOT-INHERITED factor that occurred after the date of purchase of this dog by the purchaser, this guarantee is null and void, without effect and will not be honored.
In any case the breeder will try to work out a deal that is fair under the circumstances at the time.
Purchaser is aware that stress from moving to a new home, change in diet and even a change in water can trigger certain maladies.

Return Home Policy:
Purchaser shall inform breeder of any change in purchaser’s address or contact information. Breeder agrees to inform purchaser of any change in her address or contact information.

I do not want to see this dog end up in a home I did not sell it to without my knowledge or approval! I take this policy very seriously.
Should you no longer want the dog at any time during its life for whatever reason, or if you are no longer able to keep the dog, I will take the dog back at any time if you want, and if you do not want to simply give me the dog back for some reason, I am willing to help you find a new home for the dog.

breeder’s written approval (please see Return Home Policy).
Any violations of this contract, with the exception of state laws regarding the sale of dogs, will make all guarantees on behalf of the breeder in this contract null and void.
