Stoney Ridge English Cream Golden Retrievers - Purchase Agreement &Warranty TERMS OF PURCHASE The breeder will provide you with an AKC registration paper in your puppy’s folder packet when you pick up your puppy. You can register your puppy online or via mail. Registering the puppy with AKC is the new owners responsibility. When registering your puppy, you can enroll them in AKC’s reunite program, that will register your puppy’s microchip number in your name. The reunite program provide you with a lifetime 24/7 pet recovery service. LIMITED AKC REGISTRATION: This puppy is being sold with limited AKC registration. It is understood by the buyer that you will receive the proper AKC registration papers to register your dog/Puppy with a limited registration. This means that he or she will not have breeding rights, and will not be authorized to register any of this dogs offspring to be registered with the American kennel club. .VACCINATIONS AND VETERINARIAN PHYSICALS: Our dogs and puppies are vaccinated as recommended for puppies of this age, have been wormed and had a veterinarian physical exam. Vaccinations and regular veterinary checkups are necessary throughout your puppy/dogs life to keep them happy and healthy. Worming is also a very common need with puppies and will require your attention not only as a puppy, but also continuing throughout your dog’s life. NOTICE TO BUYER OF GOOD FAITH: All canines have the potential for genetic or congenital diseases. Due to the nature of these particular diseases it is the job of the breeder, through selective breeding, to try to minimize the possibility of these conditions - in good faith. Please read, to your full understanding, the following sections of this contract concerning any contagious or hereditary defects. CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS: All puppies are examined by a licensed veterinarian before going to their new homes. To the best of the breeders’ knowledge, this puppy/dog has no known diseases or illnesses that would adversely affect their health. This puppy is guaranteed to be free of untreatable contagious health conditions. In order for this guarantee to be valid, the buyer is required to take their puppy to a licensed veterinarian for their well check-up within 10 Days From the time of purchase. If your puppy is found to have a contagious disease that is untreatable or found to be hereditarily ill and untreatable, then a letter from a licensed veterinarian stating so must be presented to the Seller within 10 DAYS of delivery. In this case, the puppy will be returned to the seller within the Same 10 days and a refund of the sale price for the puppy will be given to the buyer at that time, thus ending this contract entirely. This refund does not include any expenses incurred by the buyer or by the buyer’s veterinarian. The seller assumes no responsibility or liability under any circumstances for any/all incurred veterinarian bills. Relocation and/or travel can cause stress to a young puppy, and an upset stomach and not eating properly for a few days can be a common symptom of travel and being separated from their littermates. This should clear up within a few days. If it does not, then you need to have your puppy examined by your veterinarian. Buyer should be aware and understand that virtually all puppies carry the protozoa that causes coccidia and Giardia. Stressful situation, such as moving to a new home, transportation, lack of sufficient rest, etc. can cause coccidia and giardia to become active, causing diarrhea, which may be jealous and light blood tinged. This contract does not cover parasite, such as coccidiosis, Giardia, or other parasites puppies commonly carry. A condition such as this would not be included as a reason for a puppy to be returned to the seller. HIPS: Golden retrievers fall under the category of medium/large breed dogs. All medium to large breed dogs run a risk of certain structural disorders, such as dysplasia. Fortunately, with the use of careful and selective breeding, the risk of this condition is greatly reduced; however, it cannot always be eliminated. This puppy is warranted until the age of 12 months from the date of birth for hip and elbow dysplasia. If a structural condition - as mentioned - does arise, we choose to replace that puppy. All documentation, including x-ray copies, must be supplied to the breeder. If this dog should exhibit these conditions, prior to the age of 12 months, the buyer may receive a replacement puppy from the same sire and dam when the seller has another litter available to make this possible. If for reasons beyond the sellers control, a puppy from the same mating isn’t possible, a puppy of the same gender and comparable quality mating will be offered. BREEDING AND WARRANTY: Your right to breed the Golden Retriever being purchased is associated with the unlimited AKC registration only. It does not refer or imply the quality or value of any puppy/dog being sold or purchased. If at any time the buyer chooses to breed the dog, the buyer accepts the dog as is and the warranty becomes void. HEART AND EYES: This puppy is warranted until the age of 12 months for heart and eye genetic defects. All documentation must be supplied to the breeder if filing a claim for this reason. Puppy exchange will be handled the same as stated in HIPS section of this warranty. MALE PUPPIES: in the event that a male puppy has one or two retain testicles, and those testicles do not drop by one year of age, seller will cover the cost difference between a regular neuter and a cryptorchid neuter. A detailed bill from your veterinarian must be sent to the seller for payment. FEEDING PRACTICES: Our recommendations for properly feeding a young puppy is to use a premium dog food with a medium Protein level between 24-28% and a medium Fat of 14-18% and a calcium to phosphorus ratio of 1.2 - 1.4 to 1. Under no circumstances should the puppy be allowed to become obese, or underweight, and growth should never be accelerated with additives. Please try and avoid dog foods with corn and buy products in the ingredients. The most common source of aflatoxin in every dog food recall has been corn. Meat and meat meal should be the main source of protein in the dog food. TEMPERAMENT: Our breeding program breeds intelligent, loving, friendly, loyal dogs. However, we make no warranty as to the eventual personality of the animal due to the influence of environment and training techniques, or the lack thereof. VOIDING OF WARRANTY/CONTRACT will occur : 1) If the buyer allows this dog to become obese or under nourished at any time. Recent research does contend that diet and physical condition can greatly contribute, if not actually be a cause of hip and joint problems in large breed dogs. Although these disorders can be hereditary; poor diet, over feeding, or improper exercising of a puppy is a known contributor to these disorders. 2) If there are any signs of neglect or abuse to your dog. 3) If injuries occurred while under care of buyer, such as broken bone, trauma, etc. 4) If the buyer does not follow through with shot requirements and vet visits in a timely fashion . 5) If the buyer does not feed this dog a recommended premium DOG FOOD with a medium protein of 24-28% ,medium fat of 14-18% and a calcium/phosphorus ratio of 1.2-1.4 to 1 Low quality dog food is a sure way to malnourish or adversely affect the development of a puppy. While the puppy may appear to be at the appropriate weight for their age, low quality dog foods fail to supply the necessary proteins and nutrients required for proper growth of the muscular-skeletal system, and proper growth of the brain and neurological systems . 6) If there is any evidence of abusive exercising such as excessive treadmill or track running; or any evidence of lack of appropriate exercise. The breeder wants your dog to play sensibly, it should be in a reasonable manner so as not to potentially do damage to joints and bones. 7) If you spay or neuter your puppy before one year of age, puppies needs their hormones to grow properly.
