Puppy Guarantee / Health CONTRACT

                      Contract:

Seller guarantees all paperwork (shot record, registration, guarantee) on said puppy within 30 days of sale, if not provided at time of sale.

Seller warrants the following:

The puppy is in sound health at time of sale and should be inspected by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hrs after pick- up.  Not having puppy examined within this time voids the guarantee.  The seller guarantees the puppy to be free of Parvo and / or distemper for a period of 5 days. If puppy is found to have either/or, the buyer is to contact the seller within 8 hours of this finding.  Not doing so will null/void the guarantee.  The seller has the option of asking for the return of the puppy, and if requested, the buyer must return the puppy at his /her expense within 48 hours.  The seller will replace said puppy upon receiving signed vet statement of such findings, and after return of all original paperwork, signed back over to the seller. The seller will replace said puppy when one of equal value becomes available.  ALL SHIPPING EXPENSES AND VET BILLS INCURRED ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.

This puppy is also guaranteed for one year against congenital defects that will affect the quality of life of the puppy as a pet.  If a defect is found within one year of the contract date, the buyer must notify the seller as soon as possible, and provide seller with signed vet statement, return the animal within 7 days, and sign over all original paperwork to seller.  If buyer chooses to keep the dog, the buyer takes all responsibility in the care of the dog, or vet expenses.  The seller can choose to give the buyer a partial refund or discount on another puppy, but is not obligated to do so, if buyer chooses to keep said puppy.  If buyer returns puppy with all said documents, he/she will receive replacement puppy of equal value when one becomes available.   Again, VET AND SHIPPING EXPENSES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER!

Seller does not warrant against the following:

Hypoglycemia – under no condition is the seller responsible for loss or death due to hypoglycemia. You have been supplied with hypoglycemia education and a tube of some kind of sugar base liquid to give puppy if signs and symptoms arise.  Take to an emergency vet if symptoms do not subside.

Luxating Patella – if buyer has bought the puppy and finds puppy to have severe luxation (grade 4) within 12 months of purchase, seller will offer replacement upon return of puppy and all documents signed over to seller. The seller will not be responsible for vet bills if buyer decides to keep the puppy.  Do not let your Japanese chin jump off couches, bed or high areas, and you must keep your chin within its weight range.  Japanese chins are fragile, and these things can lead to luxating patella.   

Coccidia/Giardia – Many puppies are prone to outbreak of either coccidian and / or giardia under stressful circumstances.  The symptoms can arise in a 12-hour period, and cannot always be prevented by the seller, because there are no signs until the puppy is stressed, and their immune system drops.  All precautions have been made, but the buyer should take the puppy to the vet immediately if the puppy develops unusual stool, begins vomiting, or has loss of appetite.  

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE ON SIZE, BITE, COLOR, COAT, or breed ability of this puppy.

Your puppy has been de-wormed at 2, 4, and 6 wks.  They have also had two rounds of vaccinations.  It is important that you provide this information to your veterinarian immediately.  Worming and vaccinations, including yearly boosters, must continue on a regular basis or the contract is void.

The buyer agrees to take good care of the puppy and provide adequate food, water, housing and medical care.  Your puppy will need plenty of love, rest, fresh water, quality puppy food, a warm and dry place to sleep, and exercise.  No guarantee is made as to disposition, confirmation, or breeding ability (for UNLIMITED only).  There is no guarantee on potty training.  Our puppies are litter trained in a litterbox, and we suggest you continue to keep a litterbox available as you transition them in your preferred way.  We have given your puppy lots of love, care, and attention.  Your puppy will need the same attention from you.

If the buyer, for whatever reason, needs to find their TWC puppy a new home, the buyer will give seller first option to buy the puppy back.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will this puppy/dog ever be surrendered to a shelter or put to sleep without first consenting with the seller (exception is only if puppy / dog is deemed too close to death for a turnaround) (If puppy is less than 1 years old – a NECROPSY must be done and shows breeder at fault for a replacement or refund.) The buyer warrants that he/she will not knowingly offer this puppy to brokers, pet shops, or puppy mills buyer will incur a $10,000 penalty.

You have paid for LIMITED REGISTERATION meaning YOU CAN NOT BREED W/ THIS PUPPY!!! (unless noted differently in your contract).  ANYONE FOUND BREEDING THEIR TWC CHIN WILL BE TAKEN TO COURT for the cost of UNLIMITED registration ($1500.00), plus 10% or more of the puppy proceeds received from the offsprings.  The Buyer will be charged for court cost as well.

For those with UNLIMITED registration:  The buyer warrants that he/she will not knowingly offer this puppy or any of its offspring to brokers, pet shops, or puppy mills.  If the buyer is found to have sold the dog (puppy) or its offsprings in such a way, the buyer will incur a $10,000 penalty for each puppy found to be sold to these establishments.

The seller is bound by this agreement to the original buyer ONLY!  There are no other guarantees/warranties given, expressed, or written, other than those stated in the above contract.  Any changes must be made on paper and signed by both parties.  This written agreement is a binding contract between buyer and seller concerning health conditions or the loss of this puppy.  Any ligations commenced shall take place in the state of Texas, in Brazos County.
