We are not responsible for any death,debilitation or loss of the puppy once it leaves our premises due to sickness,accidents, injury, or or theft, other than that which is specifically outlined in points 2 and 3 which cover our health guarantee.

*Neutering is NOT to be done before 18  months of age. Seller must receive notice  from Buyer’s vet when neutering is done. Early neutering voids this guarantee. Seller should tell Vet this is part of the contract .

There will be no guarantee that the puppy will not be tested positive for parasites, though every precaution by the seller will be taken by giving puppy worm medicines. Stress will sometimes cause an outbreak after puppy leaves sellers home. So the buyer should take a fecal sample to the buyer’s vet  when puppy goes for the initial puppy exam.

Transfer of legal ownership takes place once puppy is registered to the buyer. Buyer will provide seller with a check for $34.95 made out to AKC when the puppy is picked up.
