Initials____ Seller certifies that this puppy/dog is of good health and free from
communicable diseases as it appears to the eye at the time of leaving the Breeder’s
premises. The buyer has 72hrs/3 business days to have this puppy/dog examined by
the veterinarian of their choice, at the Buyer’s expense. If the puppy/dog is found to
have a life-threatening genetic defect and proven to be unhealthy the seller must be
contacted immediately. The Buyer may return the puppy at the Buyer’s expense and all
related paperwork in order to receive a replacement puppy of value with written
veterinarian report verifying the illness. If the Buyer chooses not to have puppy
examined within the 72hrs, the Buyer accepts puppy/dog “as is” at the time of sale. This
does not cover any cosmetic defects. No vet bills will refunded at any time for any
reason. Seller guarantees the health of said puppy/dog from all life-threatening
genetic/hereditary diseases until 12 months of age. If the puppy is found to have a life-
threatening genetic/hereditary disease involving the heart, kidneys or liver, I will replace
the puppy with a pup of equal value.
Initials____ Breeder is not liable for PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) as it can appear
at any age. Hernias of any kind are not covered as they can occur at any time. I do not
cover for alopecia (hair loss in dilutes- Isabella or blue, and in rare cases other colors)
as this can occur at any time. This puppy is not with the guarantee of being free from
orthopedic deformities that are common to dachshunds including, but not limited to
backs and legs. As a breeder, I have done my best to breed healthy dogs. If death
occurs during the health guarantee period, Breeder requires a necropsy for verification
of cause of death by a licensed veterinarian at Buyer’s expense. If the current owner
REFUSES a necropsy, no replacement puppy will be given regardless of diagnosis.

Initials____ Buyer understands that seller states DO NOT TAKE YOUR PUPPY TO
REST STOPS, PUBLIC PARKS, PET STORES, PUPPY CLASSES, WALKS AROUND
THE BLOCK, OR ANY PUBLIC PLACE WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN
CONTAMINATED BY SICK DOGS THAT MAY CARRY COMMON CANINE VIRUSES,
BACTERIAL DISEASES ETC., UNTIL ALL PUPPY VACCINATIONS ARE GIVEN,
THESE COMMON CANINE VIRUSES AND DISEASES ARE VERY CONTAGIOUS
AND OFTEN DEADLY. This is to protect your dog and potentially save the puppy’s life.
I do not cover any internal parasites (coccidian, giardia, worms, etc.) once the puppy
leaves my home. I do however, pre-treat for both parasites (giardia & coccidia) to try
and do prevention. All puppies are always wormed accordingly prior to leaving my
home.
Initials____ No cash refunds will be given under any circumstance. If you choose to
back out of a sale you are forfeiting all monies paid. If something happens to the puppy
of your choice in my care then the puppy will be replaced with a new puppy of equal
value.
Initials____ This Buyer agrees to maintain the health of this puppy/dog, which includes
but not limited to:
Adequate housing, nutrition, exercise, proper socialization, worming, flea and tick
treatment and heart worm preventative, scheduled vaccines and vet care as needed.
Puppy will not be tied/chained unsupervised. Evidence of neglect or abuse will void this
contract and all guarantees. The Breeder shall have legal right to regain possession of
puppy/dog. This puppy cannot be resold. If the Buyer can no longer care for this
puppy/dog the Breeder should be notified immediately. Seller is offered first chance of
taking the dog back or you can let me find a new home that I approve of for the
puppy/dog. This puppy/dog may be returned to the Breeder at any time no refund will be
given. Buyer agrees they WILL NOT under any circumstances euthanize said dog
without consulting the Breeder first. If buyer decides to euthanize, Breeder has the right
to take over all medical care and take back possession of the dog if said Breeder and
their veterinarian feels euthanasia is not the right decision. This agreement becomes
null and void due to any injuries or neglect regardless of whether accidental or
intentional.
Initials____ The Buyer understands the Breeder CAN NOT guarantee size,
color/pattern, future show quality, or breeding ability of this puppy/dog. I can only give
you my best opinion and knowledge. Some puppies change with time and age. Buyer
understands this puppy is NOT fully house trained. Buyer assumes full liability for this
puppy/dog after leaving Breeders premises. Breeder assumes no responsibilities for
medical expense incurred by Buyer on behalf of this puppy/dog. Contract is
nontransferable.

available to all of their clients to handle any issue that may arise. The Buyer and all
associated with them agree to never slander the Breeder in public forums, facebook,
