Canyon Lake Australian Shepherds

Puppy Contract
Buyer/Seller Agreement


HEALTH GUARANTEE

Seller certifies that this puppy is a purebred Australian Shepherd of sound body, good health, and free of communicable diseases as far as can be determined. This puppy has been checked by a veterinarian and was found to be healthy and has received puppy shots appropriate for the puppy’s age and has been treated for worms. Buyer is encouraged to have the puppy examined by their own veterinarian within three days of the sale. You will receive a replacement puppy of equal or greater value from our next available litter if this puppy has any congenital defects which result (or may result) in death or in it having to be euthanized within one year of this sale. Seller must be provided with a written report of the dog's health problem from Buyer's veterinarian. The Buyer assumes full responsibility for all costs and care during this time.  Seller is not responsible for any stress related illness following transport or shipping.

HEALTH GUARANTEE
Full Registration
: This puppy is purchased with full AKC registration. Within two (2) years from date of purchase, should your puppy develop hip dysplasia or any genetic skeletal disorder, upon receipt of (1) a letter from a duly licensed veterinarian attesting to such condition (copies of x-rays may be required), (2) a copy of the O.F.A. evaluation report, (3) a spay or neuter certificate and (4) the AKC registration certificate on such puppy, you will receive a replacement puppy of equal or greater value from our next available litter. Exclusion: There are NO guarantees on a female puppy once she has been successfully bred.
Limited Registration:
This puppy is purchased as a pet and may not be bred (intentionally or unintentionally). Buyer agrees to spay or neuter this puppy between the age of seven and nine months of age and to mail to Canyon Lake Australian Shepherds a veterinarian certificate stating that the surgery has been performed. Within one (1) year from date of purchase, should your puppy develop hip dysplasia or any genetic skeletal disorder, which disorder will severely diminish your puppy's quality and enjoyment of life and necessitate euthanasia, upon receipt of a letter from a duly licensed veterinarian attesting to such condition and the puppy's AKC registration certificate, you will receive a replacement puppy from our next available litter. A pet puppy who is found to have a mild condition, which condition will not in any way shorten or diminish the quality of life for that puppy, will NOT be replaced. On Limited Registration puppies, spay or neuter certificates from a duly licensed veterinarian must be provided before AKC registration papers will be provided on such puppy. 


 

SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
Seller guarantees that Buyer will be satisfied with the puppy purchased. If Buyer is not satisfied with the puppy received, puppy may be returned to Seller at Buyer's cost. Seller will replace puppy or a full refund of the purchase price will be made (Seller's option). This Satisfaction Guarantee is valid for 72 hours after Buyer receives puppy.

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

Registration papers will be furnished to Buyer upon receipt from AKC and when complete payment is made for the puppy and spay/neuter is complete if applicable. If payment is made by personal check or money-order, the registration papers will be held until the check/money-order has cleared. The Buyer has the option of naming their new dog with the exception that all puppies carry the kennel name "Canyon Lake’s" at the front of their AKC registered name.  Buyer agrees to register this dog in accordance with the time limits specified by AKC. If Buyer fails to use "Canyon Lake’s" in front of the registered name or to register dog in accordance with this paragraph, all guarantees made by Seller in this contract will become void.

GENERAL AGREEMENT TERMS

One of the following paragraphs applies to this puppy and is checked. The others are non-applicable.

___ Limited Registration Contract (AKC limited registration): This puppy is considered to be a pet and may not be bred (not intentionally or unintentionally). Buyer agrees to spay or neuter this dog between the ages of seven to nine months and mail Seller veterinarian verification upon completion of that operation.  Registration papers will be sent at that time. 


___ Full Registration Contract (AKC full registration) for a female puppy. This puppy is considered to be breed quality.  Buyer agrees to allow puppy to mature to the age of two years and have appropriate testing (OFA Hips & Elbows and CERF) before being bred. Once verification of favorable results on all of these tests is received, full registration papers will be sent.  There is good reason for these requirements.  There are many puppies of all breeds being bred without proper health clearances and the results are unfair to the puppies and to the unaware buyer.  Buyer agrees to only breed this dog to another appropriately tested dog.


___ Full Registration Contract (AKC full registration) for a male puppy. This puppy is considered to be breed quality. Buyer agrees to allow puppy to mature to the age of 2 years and have appropriate testing (OFA Hips & Elbows and CERF) before breeding.  Once verification of favorable results on all of these tests is received, full registration papers will be sent.  Buyer agrees to only breed this dog to another appropriately tested dog.

If at any time or for any reason this puppy cannot be kept, the Buyer agrees to contact the Seller and offer said puppy back to the Seller before the puppy is offered to any other person(s). If Seller elects to take the dog back, Buyer agrees to supply and transfer all corresponding registration papers.   No puppy is to be sold elsewhere or ownership transferred from original buyer without prior permission from the Seller.  Buyer agrees to provide this dog with a high quality diet and all appropriate vaccinations and medical care. Buyer agrees not to mistreat this dog in any way.  

Violation of this contract will constitute Buyer's unconditional surrender of the purchased dog and all registration documents at no cost to Seller.
