B.       HEALTH AND HEALTH GUARANTEE

All precautions have been made to insure that this puppy is in excellent health at the time of purchase including vaccinations at  8 weeks of age and has been dewormed on a regular basis. The breeders’ veterinarian has made a final health check and a current health certificate is included in your new puppy packet. It is recommended that additional vaccinations be given at 12 and 16 weeks of age, with annual booster immunizations. Additionally, male show dogs have been checked and verification has been made that both testicles have descended at the time of pickup. _____________ (Initial) Accidents can happen with new puppy dogs, and  this contract does not cover testicle trauma after the puppy goes to his new home.

The Breeder warrants the puppy to be in excellent health and free from parasites at the time of purchase/pickup, but has not made and does not now make any further warranties as to the puppy’s condition after pickup. It is the Buyers responsibility to prevent illness and injury by providing necessary booster vaccinations, veterinary care, proper nutrition, fresh water, shelter, training and supervision. The breeder has made every effort to breed healthy dogs and has raised this puppy to the best of her ability.

It is recommended by the Breeder that the Buyer take the puppy to a Veterinarian of his/her choice and gives three days from the date of delivery of the puppy in which to do so.  If, within those three days, a veterinarian finds the puppy to be unsound, unhealthy, or possessing a serious genetic defect, a statement in writing must be provided to the Breeder by that veterinarian documenting said condition for Breeders’ veterinarian to review. Upon confirmation from Breeders’ vet of said condition, Buyer may return the puppy, registration and all of his/her effects to the Breeder and receive a full, immediate refund of the purchase price.  All transportation costs involved are the responsibility of the Buyer.

This puppy is guaranteed not to develop PRA  or pass on the gene for PRA as both of the parents are negative for the gene via  parentage or by testing.

 

This puppy is guaranteed from crippling hip dysplasia for a period of 26 months  (2years + 2 months).  At the age of 2 yrs the puppy is to undergo a physical exam (PennHip) to determine the soundness of  the puppy’s hips by a certified vet.  If after this exam the dog experiences any crippling effects, the buyer must send a copy of PennHip’s report to the breeder.  If the crippling effects are deemed genetic and not environmental a refund of $200.00 will be given to the buyer after proof of spay/neuter.

  C.      REGISTRATION

The Breeder certifies that the puppy can be registered with AKC and proper paper work will be given to buyer at time of purchase. Buyer agrees that the Breeders kennel name prefix “Hearts Desire Mastiffs” is the beginning of the puppy’s registered name on the Registration certificate.
The Buyer agrees to register the puppy  with AKC within 60 days of receiving the AKC registration papers.  The buyer also agrees that this puppy will not be registered with any other registration service other then the American Kennel Club or the Canadian Kennel Club.

 D      OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES

The Buyer agrees to maintain the dog in a humane environment and properly train and care for it. Specifically the dog will be properly licensed and Inoculated against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and other communicable diseases as recommended by a qualified veterinarian. The dog will not be allowed to roam and will be socialized and obedience trained appropriately.

The Buyer agrees that this puppy will not be raised on slippery surfaces, not be allowed to bound up and down stairs, rough-house with larger dogs, jump down from heights or out of cars, etc, as this type of activity will contribute to the breakdown of joints and growing bones, dislocation of shoulders, hips and damaged elbows.

The Buyer further agrees that the puppy’s weight will be under strict supervision until the dog reaches his/her second birthday. It is far better to have the dog slightly underweight then overweight as excess weight contributes to structural breakdown of the dog. Buyer also agrees nothing will be given to the dog that would encourage rapid growth including steroids, nutritional supplements ,and anything that promotes rapid weight gain.  (Glucosamine/Chondroitin sulfate supplements and Vitamin C excluded)

It is the breeders’ recommendation that t
his puppy should be raised exclusively on a premium food, 26% protein along with Ester C until the age of 24 months.    

E       SPAY AND NEUTERING

It is recommended that Bitches which are purchased as family companions only (not for breeding or show) and dogs which are judged not to be of show and breeding quality should be spayed or neutered, bitches after 12 months of age and males after 18 months of age.

F         SHOW QUALITY PUPPIES

The Breeders will use their best judgment and the advice of other fanciers in evaluating the puppies as to show or pet quality. There is no guarantee that a puppy evaluated as "Show Quality" will be successful in the show ring as an adult or as a breeding animal and no warranties are made to that effect.

Buyer agrees that if said dog is shown and becomes a Champion, a picture along with a copy of Championship certificate will be sent to the Breeder at the above address. Breeder may publish this information stating that Hearts Desire Mastiffs (Breeder) is the Breeder of the dog along with the Buyer stated as being the owner.

        G         RIGHT OF RECOVERY/REPLACEMENT

If, for whatever reason, the Buyer can not or does not wish to maintain custody of the dog (at anytime during its’ lifetime) the Breeder is to be notified immediately of such case. The dog is not to be sold or placed anywhere without written consent from the Breeder. The Breeder will help assist in any placements of said dog/puppy. The Breeder will always accept the dog/puppy back at no cost to the Breeder.  The breeder wishes to make sure that this dog is well cared for and placed in a proper environment for it’s whole lifespan.
