day it leaves the breeders home as a puppy.
10) Deposits placed on an available puppy or a puppy from a planned
upcoming breeding are non-refundable, unless we cannot provide you with
a puppy at all. Backing out on the sale of a puppy gives the right to
the breeder to retain the deposit as a nuisance fee. However, this
deposit may be applied to a puppy from another litter, provided another
pup is purchased within a year from the time the deposit check was
dated or received by breeder if deposit was given in cash.

parasites the dog may contract in it's lifetime. This includes, but is

veterinarian, and examined for health and soundness. Should the vet
find the dog to be in very poor health, possessing an affliction in
which the dog cannot be treated for medically and deems the dog
suffering from a severe genetic defect, the dog may be returned to the
breeder for a full refund, provided a letter from the veterinarian is

the breeder agrees to exhaust all options in getting the dog shipped to
the purchaser in a timely manner. The purchaser agrees to be patient
and give the breeder ample time to get dog shipped out. Weather
conditions are out of the breeders control, and therefore, there may be
times when a puppy shipment must be postponed for a short period of
time until the weather breaks and allows for safe and reliable
shipment. This is to ensure the health and safety of your new puppy.
18) GUARANTEE ON YOUR DOG: Your dog is under a health warranty until
it's first birthday. This guarantee will give you a replacement puppy
of equal monetary value should the puppy you originally purchase be
found to have a life threatening genetic physical condition. No cash
refunds will be given.

hips, we give a replacement for a dog being found to have OFA severely
dysplastic hips or found to be Penn Hip scored at .90 or higher.
Replacements will not be given for moderately or mildly dysplastic dogs.
Replacements will not be given for dogs with breeding problems or dogs
who have conformation faults as these are not life threatening
problems. The only exception to this is with vaginal hyperplasia. We
will replace ONLY a "Show Quality" pick of the litter female who is
afflicted by vaginal hyperplasia provided she IS NOT bred, and that she
is spayed. Once proof of spay is received, replacement will commence.
We do not guarantee hyperplasia for any female not deemed clearly
in the contract of sale as being Pick Of The Litter Female.
20) All life threatening afflictions must be presented to the breeder
for a replacement dog in the form of an OFA report, a Penn Hip report
or a signed, dated letter from a veterinary specialist practicing in
the field of the affliction in question. This letter must be on their
clinic letterhead, with a contact number listed.

immediately with proof sent to breeder, as well as all registration
papers on the dog must also be returned to the breeder with proof of
affliction as stated in #20. BOTH must be received. No replacement will
commence until this requirement is met.

involved with this dog from the date the purchaser takes ownership.
This includes, but is not limited to: legal or monetary issues
involving the dogs actions (biting, destructive behavior, etc.),
medical costs of any kind incurred for this dog or because of this dog,
any wages, pay or any type of monetary potential lost (to owner or any
other person or establishment) due to any issue of this dog, nor is the
breeder responsible for any potential loss of money hoped to be made
from this dog or the planned sale of it's puppies .
23) The breeder is only responsible for a replacement puppy if the
originally purchased dog is found to meet the criteria for such a
replacement and if all requirements stated in #21 are met.
24) If replacement requirements are met, the purchaser has one year
maximum to claim the new puppy. Should the breeder offer a new puppy
within that years time and the purchaser refuses for whatever reason,
the breeder is no longer indebted to offer additional pups to the
purchaser. Should the breeder not have anything available during that
years time to offer the purchaser, the breeder will be allowed two
additional years to find a suitable replacement dog.
25) What dog given as a replacement is the sole decision of the
breeder. Purchaser may not have a choice of replacement puppy, however,
a puppy of equal monetary value will be given.
26) Sex of replacement puppy may not be a choice, as the breeder will
offer what is available during the stated time period in #24.
27) Size is not guaranteed, nor are any issues of the coat, any issues
of bloat, conformation flaws or any abilities or potential intended or
expected by owner in purchasing the dog.
28) Any dog needing to be replaced is not required to be given back to
the breeder, however, the breeder will accept back any dog the owner no
longer wishes to keep. Should an owner keep any defective dog, it is
expected that the owner not prolong a painful, suffering existence for
the dog, and would do the right thing by euthanizing the dog should
this be an issue. Should a defective be able to be maintained through
medical therapy and live a pain free life, this such treatment is
expected to be maintained, and at any point if it can no longer be
maintained, it is asked that the dog is euthanized in order to not
prolong any suffering.
29) Should any dog die, and the cause is claimed to be a genetic defect
and a replacement dog is asked for, such dog is required to be made
available by the breeders vet of choice for autopsy. Should the dog not
be made available or has been disposed of in some manner and is then
unavailable to the breeder, no replacement will be considered for any
reason.
30) The breeder reserves the right to ask for a second opinion on any
diagnosis on any dog.
31) Under no circumstances will a replacement dog be given on any dog
that is suspected to be abuse or neglected or in any way mistreated.
32) Should at any point there be an inability for the breeder and
purchaser to come to an agreement regarding any portion stated in this
contract, and litigation becomes necessary, let it be noted that any
and all court hearings, proceedings and any legal issues pertaining to
this dog and it's sale will take place within the county in which the
breeder resides in the state of Michigan. The sale of this dog is
stated to be within the state of Michigan, and therefore falls under
the laws regulating such within the state of Michigan.
