Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs
Puppy contract
If the puppy is not paid for and picked up/shipped within a reasonable time (by 12 weeks of age), Bullet Ranch
Cattle Dogs has the right to keep, sell or give away requested puppy.
Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs reserves the right to refuse sale of any puppy to anyone she deems unqualified as
determined by Sarah herself. This decision is based on the well being of the puppy. None will be placed or
RETURNED to neglected or abused homes and if found to be so, Sarah will retain FULL ownership of
neglected/abused dog. No exceptions!
Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs guarantees, that to the best of knowledge, this puppy/dog is in good health. Bullet Ranch
Cattle Dogs guarantees that this puppy can be returned, at buyer’s expense, within ONE YEAR of purchase for life
threatening congenital hereditary defects ONLY. (Parasites & temporary illness or infections not included) and
another puppy of equal value can be chosen and shipped at buyer’s expense. If a puppy is not available at the time,
the buyer will be in line for a puppy of equal value. (No cash refunds) A written and signed statement in detail of the
defect from the veterinarian, who diagnosed the problem, must precede the replacement of the puppy. If a puppy
dies within this timeframe, a full autopsy/necropsy at the buyer's expense must be performed to diagnose the
problem. Full results must be sent to Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs. At no time will Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs replace a
puppy that has been living in the new home for more than 1 year. This provides plenty of time for any congenital
hereditary defects to appear.
The buyer guarantees to take this puppy/dog to the veterinarian within the first five days for a health examination
and to advise Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs of any problems. Failure to have the dog examined by your vet in this timely
manner will result in voiding any guarantee of said puppy/dog but will not release the buyer from obligations set
forth in this agreement.
Puppies Purchased with Full Registration for Breeding and/or Show: Any puppy sold with full registration is
guaranteed against Non Life-Threatening Hereditary defects such as hip or elbow dysplasia, hearing defect and
genetic eye defects until the dog reaches 30 months of age. We require testing for Hip Dysplasia by radiograph
through OFA after 2 years of age for guarantee to apply. (Excellent, Good & Fair are acceptable results). DNA
testing for PRCD/PRA can be done through OptiGen and is recommended prior to breeding. The dog must not be
bred more than once a year. (Any PRCD/PRA results are acceptable. A dog that is PRCD tested "Probably
Affected" does not mean the dog has, or will show signs of clinical PRA.) The dog must be examined by a certified
ophthalmologist and have been refused a certificate from the CERF, Canine Eye Registry Foundation to qualify for
the guarantee. BAER testing is required to show any hearing defects in the dog/pup. BAER testing and CERF
testing must be done by qualified and certified facilities. Contact your veterinarian for details and testing
providers. We highly recommend this dog to receive the tests mentioned above before using this dog for breeding
purposes. Any defect must be diagnosed and documented by the diagnosing veterinarian, OFA, BAER and/or CERF
and all official results need to be sent to Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs. The affected puppy will then be replaced with a
puppy of equal value upon the return of the original pup/dog at buyer’s expense. If the buyer wishes to keep the
original pup/dog, he/she will be offered a second pup at 1/2 of the original price and the affected pup/dog must be
spayed/neutered with a written and signed report from the operating veterinarian sent to Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs
prior to sale of second pup. If this dog is bred prior to testing completion, all guarantees are null and void!

expenses incurred by the buyer including but not limited to veterinary and shipping costs. The foregoing warranties
are in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied. Terms of contract apply to all Bullet Ranch Cattle Dogs

in a humane way and to protect this puppy throughout his/her entire life. If for any reason in the life of this puppy, a
