Show Pick - Breed Potential - Limited Registration

(Limited Registration puppies must be spayed/neutered at 1 year of age)

Show and Breed prospects must sign an addendum to this contract. Purchaser agrees by signing this contract that this dog will not be bred.

Should any of the clauses in this contract be violated for any reason, any remaining health guarantee is null and void.

1) You must carry the full kennel name of the breeder "Peachy Keen" on all registration papers of the dog purchased. At no time shall the breeders kennel name be left off, excluded, abbreviated, changed or altered in any way. The breeders kennel name shall be used at all times, even when registering through other registries.

2) Complete and maintain a veterinarian recommended series of vaccinations protocols throughout the dogs lifetime. 

3) Feed the dog only the highest quality food available in pet food specialty stores, avoiding all grocery store brands. Buyer agrees to keep puppy on Nuvet supplement for at least one year from date of purchase.

4) Provide proper grooming, nail trimming, parasite control and heart worm preventative, regular medical check ups as well as maintain the animal within the home as a part of the family. At no time shall it be left outdoors on a chain, caged or kenneled outdoors/indoors for excessive periods of time, and in no way retained in small quarters. The only exception to this is crate training for the purpose of housebreaking, or retaining in a crate while owner is a away to ensure pup/dog doesn't get hurt while unsupervised.

5) Transport the animal in a safe and responsible manner, never allowing it to ride in an unenclosed area, such as the bed of a truck, without proper safety equipment/restraints to ensure the dog could in no way be endangered.

6) (8 weeks to 4 months) Keep the pup/dog off of slippery floors and surfaces, especially in winter. At no time shall the purchaser allow the dog to jump from stairs, chairs, other furniture, etc. Doing such can cause injury to the joints, cartilage, hips, bones and tendons. This is especially important in young dogs as such activity can cause significant injury, as the bones/joints are soft and more prone to injury.

7) From date of purchase forward, this dog may not be transferred, leased, sold, nor given away to another person without the explicit written consent of the breeder/seller. The breeder/seller reserves the right to receive the dog back if at any time the owner decides they cannot or do not want to keep it. This clause is called the first right of refusal. In addition, at no point in this dog's life shall it ever be sacrificed to a rescue, animal shelter, animal control, sold or given to an auction, sold or given away to a research facility or put in the ownership of anyone/anything except the original purchaser or the breeder/seller. This dog is considered the property of the breeder/seller if at any time the owner does not want it, or at any point it is found the dog has left the ownership of the original purchaser without written verification to do so by the breeder. Should this animal ever end up in the ownership of anyone named above, the breeder/seller has legal right, by signature on this contract, to repossess the animal, and any cost involved in doing so will be charged to the owner/purchaser, as responsibility to cover these costs will be the responsibility of the owner/purchaser due to violation of this clause/contract. 

8) Understand comply with all issues in this signed contract and be informed that all health guarantees are in no way transferable to any other parties. Guarantees are only available and valid to the original purchaser and only if the dog resides with them and is still in that person's possession/ownership during the guarantee period.

9) This dog should never be abused, neglected or abandoned in any way. Should this occur, the proper authorities will be notified, and breeder will then seize ownership of the dog. This clause in the contract gives the breeder the right to repossess the dog without prior notice to the owner/purchaser and without compensation for such an act being engaged in. In addition, this dog is never to be housed as a "Backyard Dog", in which the dog is denied the ability to be a family pet.

10) The seller/breeder reserves the right to check on the terms of this agreement at any time, and without prior notification to the owner/purchaser. If dog is found abused or neglected, and proof to substantiate claim is found, the dog will be repossessed immediately without compensation.

11) Understand that the seller cannot and will not guarantee that any dog at full maturity will or will not attain a certain size, a certain look, a certain attitude, nor any other aspect besides the health coverage that is outlined in your health warranty. The breeder cannot guarantee the show ability of any dog, nor the morphology (breed ability) of any dog, or the ability to free whelp if a female. The reproduction of any dog is so complex the seller/breeder cannot predict or guarantee future breeding potential. All puppies are assessed at an appropriate age, but we cannot guarantee quality as an adult. What traits they display at that time cannot be guaranteed to still remain once it is an adult dog. No compensation will be given on any dog the owners feel has not lived up to his/her personal expectations. Unless you are purchasing FULL registration puppy is never to be bred and should be fixed by one year of age.

12) It is the new owner's responsibility to schedule a vet exam for the new puppy that will be conducted within 72 hours of taking ownership. This 72 hour period does not count if one of those days lands on Sunday, as most vet clinics are closed on Sundays. If this puppy is found to have a crippling health concern, or contagious puppy disease at the time of first visit, buyer must contact us immediately. Contagious puppy diseases include parvo, distemper, corona, parainfluenza. If pup is found to have one of these conditions, and they do not wish to the keep the pup, buyer can return the pup to Peachy Keen for a full refund or another puppy, at the discretion/decision of the breeder. Seller/breeder is in no way responsible for vet bills incurred, which is why we need to be contacted immediately if there is a life-threatening issue. Parasites are not covered under this clause (see below).

13) This animal must be kept away from public pet parks, pet stores and other places where animals (wild and domestic) frequent, at least until the full series of puppy shots is complete at approximately 4 months old. This is to help prevent your puppy from picking up an array of diseases from viruses, bacteria's and funguses, even intestinal or coat parasites etc.

14) The Breeder cannot be responsible for, and does not cover any diseases, pathogens or conditions the dog may experience in its' lifetime, consisting of, but not limited to:

Bacterial infections, viral infections, fungal infection, intestinal parasite, coat affliction and skin/coat parasites/problems, and /or protozoan infestation, parvo, distemper (after 72 hour window) giardia, coccidia, ringworm, as well as any and all zoonotic or parasitic afflictions. We do not give guarantees for cancers as the environmental factors can be so vast in this day and age. We make sure all of our pups leave with the proper inoculation and worming protocols being performed, however, the level of immunity to disease cannot be known, as  worming medications do not always kill all worms (worming pups tends to be an ongoing process for several months). These are ongoing processes that the new owner must continue with their own veterinarian once the puppy is in their ownership. This is to insure optimum health of the puppy. 

15) It is required that all puppies are microchipped and that proof of microchipping is sent to the breeder Prior to the puppy attaining 7 months of age. This is to insure that should this dog ever become separated from its family, it stands a good chance of being reunited with them. If the microchipping is not dog and proof is not sent to the breeder before the dog turns 7 months old, any remaining guarantee on the dog will be voided. No time extension are allowed for this requirement, as 7 months of age is ample time to have this performed.

16) During ownership of this dog, the breeder/seller is not responsible for conditions caused by abuse, neglect, accidental or unknown/unexplained death.

17) The breeder/seller is not responsible for any actions of this dog once it is out of their control, as all responsibility for the dog's actions through its lifetime is solely that of the new owner, from date of ownership forward.

18) (Limited registration) Any dog sold as a pet MUST be spayed/neutered by 1 year of age and no later. Should the dog not be fixed by the one year of age any further health warranty on the dog from there on out is null and void and could result in repossession of said dog by seller/breeder. 

19) Understand that we are entrusting you with this precious canine life and expect the dog is kept safe and out of harm's way.

1) The buyer will have the dog seen by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of taking possession, having the dog examined for health and soundness.

2) If such veterinarian deems this puppy to be in serious, life-threatening health, with a letter on vet clinic letterhead, signed by the examining vet, a full refund (less shipping charges both ways) will be given. Minor afflictions commonly seen in puppies, such as intestinal parasites, umbilical hernias or stress diarrhea are not included.

3) No replacement puppy will be given on any puppy who dies or is permanently damaged due to any adverse reaction caused by the administration of any type of treatment, vaccine, medication or etc by the buyer or the buyers veterinarian. Any problems resulting from improper care, improper supervision, improper feeding, improper housing or any type of problem or condition caused by mistake or on purpose that causes a negative effect to the puppy, nullifies a replacement puppy. 

4) During the first 72 hours of ownership, should the new owner decide the dog is just not for him/her, a refund will be given, less a nuisance fee of $300.

5) Shipping charges to originally send the dog, as well as the shipping costs to send the puppy back to the breeder, are the responsibility of the purchaser and are non-refundable. 

6) Once the puppy is returned to breeders' ownership, the puppy will be seen by the breeder's veterinarian. Provided the dog is in the same health as it was when sent to the purchaser (a 14 day quarantine will be done) as well as physically receiving the pup's registration papers back being unaltered, undamaged and unwritten on, a refund will be given (less $300 nuisance fee).  Should new papers have to be applied for due to being damaged/altered/written on, the charge for such will be subtracted from the refund amount.

7) If after the 72 hour period the purchaser has a change of heart about the dog, it will be accepted back by the breeder, but no refund of any kind will be given.
