I, the Buyer _______________________________, do hereby agree to buy the above mentioned Canine, and agree to the following terms and conditions: The Canine listed above appears to be in good health at the time of the sale, and embodies the characteristics of the breed named above. This Canine is purebred with purebred parents. The Breeder believes this above described canine to be in good health at the time of delivery.
The Buyer is to have this Canine examined by a veterinarian of their choice within 72 business hours from time of delivery or pickup. Failure to do so will void this contract and its guarantees. If within those 72 hours the puppy is found to have a life-threatening defect, the buyer may return the puppy for a replacement puppy (with equal or lesser value; with same coat, color or gender) as soon as one becomes available. If the Canine is found to have a fatal or severe life-altering genetic defect by the age of 6 month's that is diagnosed by the Buyer's licensed veterinarian, the buyer has two (2) business days to notify the Breeder of their veterinarian's findings in writing, and the puppy will be returned to the breeder within a reasonable time frame after the exam (as determined by the Seller). This problem must be recognized by a licensed veterinarian and a written copy of the tests/procedures performed and the diagnosis must be sent to the seller within 12 days of the diagnosis of the condition. FURTHERMORE, NO TREATMENT OR SURGERY SHALL BE DONE ON THE PUPPY UNTIL THE SELLER IS CONTACTED AND HAS TIME TO OBTAIN FOR A SECOND OPINION. In addition, BUYER will be responsible for any and all veterinary costs associate with the puppy. No refunds will be issued to the buyer for veterinary costs. When the buyer has decided to return a puppy (with defects such as those listed above) and seller has been notified, the puppy must be returned to the seller within 2 weeks of written notification to the buyer. If the buyer decides to keep a puppy in the event of a defect being found (and does not make arrangements to return the puppy within 2 weeks of notification of defect), the SELLER no longer has any obligation to replace the puppy at any later date. If the puppy is returned due to life threatening defects (those listed above), and if Michael and Beth’s (the seller) veterinarian agrees to the diagnosis of the condition after conferring with the buyer's veterinarian, then a replacement puppy will be issued as soon as one becomes available.
In the event of the puppy's death a necropsy must be performed to determine the cause of death and the buyer will be responsible for these charges; the breeder is in no way responsible for payment of this exam, or any other medical or veterinarian charges. The Buyer understands that the Breeder offers NO CASH RUFUND. If the buyer qualifies for a puppy replacement then the purchase price will be put towards another Canine of equal or lesser value when one becomes available. Under no circumstances will refunds be made in lieu of a replacement. IF THE BUYER REJECTS A REPLACEMENT PUPPY, ALL SALES BECOME FINAL. The Buyer is responsible for all expenses in the return of the Canine. Under NO CONDITION will the breeder replace this canine where the breeder was not advised of its being ill beforehand or "put to sleep" without the breeder's permission.
Appropriate shots for the canine's age have been given, and a record of these vaccination histories is supplied at time of delivery. The buyer agrees to maintain the canine's health in good condition, and to provide yearly examinations, vaccinations, heartworm, and any other usual procedures necessary to assure good health. The breeder has done everything possible to produce healthy sound canines both by breeding only dogs that are free of hip, elbow, and spinal disc dysplasia, and by raising the canines in the best way possible in regards to diet, exercise, socialization and veterinary care. The Breeder's guarantee does NOT cover any liability for any injury, or illness caused by STRESS INDUCED HYPOGLYCEMIA, CANINE INFLUENZA, PNEUMONIA, PARASITES INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL, RINGWORM, COCCIDIOSIS, GIARDIA, HEPATITIS, OTHER DISEASES/ILLNESSES, OR MITES AFTER LEAVING OUR CARE.
There are all types of parasites that lie dormant and that can be brought on by stress or change of environment due to allergies etc., and there is no way to predict how a puppy will cope with the change. This is why the buyer agrees to not change the puppy's diet for at least 1 week after pick-up, as to not stress the puppy more than necessary. Also, there is no guarantee against any diseases contracted after leaving Michael & Beth’s premises. I do my best to provide a clean, healthy, safe environment and to ensure that the buyer is getting a healthy puppy.
I Michael F. Nardi & Beth M. Cairns (breeder/seller) do not guarantee the coat in a dilute dachshund against the alopecia gene. If a buyer is purchasing a dilute dachshund, I educate them on the coat problems, but they agree that there is no guarantee to length of hair, or condition of coat as the pup matures. THE BUYER OF A DILUTE COAT DACHSHUND AGREES TO THESE CONDITIONS AND WILL NOT HOLD THE SELLER RESPONSIBLE FOR COAT ISSUES.
There are many factors that can influence growth and development, such as diet, exercise, weight gain, etc. The Buyer assumes the responsibility to carry on with the appropriate vaccinations, exercise and feedings schedule, recommended by the Buyer's veterinarian. (RECOMMENDATION BY THE SELLER RESEARCHES A VETERINARIAN THAT HAS HAD EXPERIENCE WITH DACHSHUNDS ESPECIALLY DILUTE COST DACHSHUNDS). The seller promises to try to be a lifelong assistant with the buyer's puppy in regards to being available for advice if needed.
In the event that the buyer finds that caring for their new puppy/adult dog becomes difficult or is not a good match for their life style or personalities just don’t suite, the buyer must return the canine to the seller WITHOUT QUASTION OR REFUND. We take breeding extremely seriously, because of the overwhelming population of the pounds and Animal Welfare Leagues of America, population of unwanted animals, that’s why we guarantee that NO QUASTIONS ASKED when it comes to bring one of our puppies back into our loving home.
Upon purchasing, the buyer will agree to spay/neuter (unless otherwise specified by the breeder). The Breeder holds the rights to deny any persons from purchasing the puppy, if the buyer does not agree to the above contract. When the puppy is of age for spay/neuter the buyer must contact the breeder and send the breeder confirmation from a licensed veterinarian, or Buyer may be subject to losing all rights to the canine sold above.
The Breeder/Seller can offer no further guarantees once the care of the canine is no longer under their control. Michael F. Nardi Jr. & Beth M. Cairns only guarantees a pet quality dog and in no way implies or guarantees the ability to breed or show the dog. Therefore, the Breeder does not make any guarantees as to the canine's adult size, weight, hair, coat, skin conditions, temperament, or train-ability of the canine. The Breeder neither makes nor implies any warranties or guarantees, express or implied, other than those written in the agreement including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and fitness. This document constitutes the entire agreement between the Breeder and Buyer with legal respect to this sale. If there are any disagreements or discrepancies, they must be handled in the state of Illinois and the county of Cook, at the buyer's expense in regards to all legal fees. Also I agree to have the canine registered with their proper Kennel Club within 10 weeks of purchase for the breeder’s records, and send a copy of the papers within 72 hours of receiving the registration papers.
