Puppy Purchase Agreement


The buyer hereby agrees to purchase the male/female puppy “<name>,” from the litter by <sire> out of <dam> bred by Cathryn Ochs-Cline, Patrick Ormos, born <birthdate>, for the price of $1000.

$200 of the above purchase price is to be considered a deposit for the seller to hold the puppy until a date agreed upon by both parties. The remaining balance ($800) is to be paid upon delivery of the puppy.

The seller agrees to furnish the buyer with the necessary health information, including all shot and worming records. The AKC registration certificate will be forwarded to the buyer upon receipt of a valid dated veterinarian certification of surgical spay/alter. The buyer understands that this puppy will only be eligible for limited registration with the AKC and has been fully informed of all of the restrictions involved with this form of registration.

THIS ANIMAL IS GUARANTEED AS FOLLOWS:
1. To be in good physical condition for the first 72 hours after the time of delivery. The buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian within 72 hours after the delivery time for a complete physical examination. If a veterinarian finds the puppy to have a contagious disease or to be in generally poor physical condition, the seller will (1) replace the puppy with another puppy of comparable quality should the seller own or be able to secure such a dog within a reasonable period of time, (2) refund the full purchase price upon return of the puppy, or (3) pay for veterinary expenses involved with restoring the puppy to full health, if the buyer chooses to keep the puppy. Reimbursement for veterinarian expenses is not to exceed the purchase price of the puppy. The choice between replacement, refund, or veterinary expenses is to be the option of the buyer, and the buyer must inform the seller of his choice within 72 hours of the delivery time. The seller reserves the right to a second veterinarian opinion at the expense of the seller, and in the case of payment of veterinary expenses, the seller reserve the right to have the puppy treated by a veterinarian of the seller's choice. If a veterinarian does not examine the puppy within 72 hours after delivery time, the above guarantees are no longer in effect.

2. To be free of any inheritable disease that causes death or serious impairment of vital functions in the puppy until such puppy is four (4) years of age. If such an inheritable disease is documented by a veterinarian and presented to the seller with sufficient supporting evidence, the buyer will be entitled to a replacement puppy of comparable quality. The seller reserves the right to a second veterinarian opinion at the expense of the seller.

3. To be of sound temperament, that is, to be neither so shy nor vicious as to render the dog an unfit companion. This guarantee of temperament is effective only until the dog reaches one year of age, if sold as a puppy, and is contingent upon reasonable proof that any defect in temperament is not the result of lack of proper care or training on the part of the buyer. This guarantee is only for human companionship and compatibility with any other animals in the house is not guaranteed.

THE BUYER AGREES:
1. That this puppy will be registered with the American Kennel Club and named by the breeders prior to sale. Although this puppy will already have a registered name, it can be called anything the buyer chooses.

2. In the event that the puppy is later sold, or otherwise transferred from the possession of the buyer, for whatever reason, the seller will have the absolute right of first refusal to repossess the puppy. If the buyer can find a suitable alternate home, and if the seller approves of this home, the right to repossess the puppy will be null and void. The buyer must provide contact information, including all telephone numbers for the alternate home before seller approval will be given.

3. To refrain from breeding the above puppy, and further agrees to have the puppy spayed or altered when the puppy has reached an appropriate age, as set forth by current veterinarian guidelines. The buyer further understands that if the above puppy is ever bred the Seller's guarantees as outlined above will no longer apply.

The buyer and the seller agree that this is the full and complete agreement that exists between the parties for the sale of this dog. Any agreements made prior to this are considered incorporated herein and any modifications made to this agreement shall be made in writing or such shall not be effective.

I HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT:
