We strive to make sure that any adoption is a perfect fit for you and your puppy.
All puppies are sold with limited registration unless specific arrangements for full registration are made with a one year conditional guarantee:
BUYER AGREES:
1. To have puppy examined within 72 hours of purchase by a licensed veterinarian to validate this guarantee. This is to include a fecal exam.
2. The puppy is not being purchased for resale and will never be sold to a pet shop, puppy mill or agent of same.
3. Buyer is not to register the puppy under any other Pet Registry, besides American Kennel Club.
4. To provide all annual vet exams, to continue all required vaccine shots as recommended by their vet and proper vet care. It is important the puppy has all puppy shots, and their yearly boosters. Failure to comply with and provide documentation of these requirements voids all guarantees.
5. Buyer agrees not to breed unless the puppy is sold with full registration and not before two years of age when appropriate testing has been passed and completed.
6. To provide adequate housing away from the elements. Your dog will NEVER be left on a chain. The Buyer will groom, train, and care for this dog in the manner consistent with high quality animal husbandry.
7. The value of the pet for the purpose of this guarantee is solely the original purchase price of the pet, and does not include any additional prices declared by the Buyer, such as value of show dog or shipping fees.
8. Buyers understands that Golden Retrievers are prone to Hip and Elbow Dysplasia and that the seller has done its due diligence in providing this puppy a good genetic chance of not acquiring Hip or Elbow Dysplasia, but buyer also understand that there is an environmental component to the development of Hip and Elbow Dysplasia. One of the biggest contributors to hip dysplasia is overfeeding which will cause a puppy to grow too fast. Buyer agrees to keep puppy at such a weight that ribs can easily be felt when lightly touched. Further, buyer understands that to avoid injury or stress-trauma occurring to the dog’s bones and joints while he/she is still growing, prior to reaching one and a half year of age (preferably 2 years), this dog should not go faster on a leash than to break a trot, nor be put on a tread-mill, nor play roughly with older or children, nor stand on his/her back legs for extended periods of time, nor play wild ball games with chasing and retrieving (especially on slippery floors or wet grass and with balls thrown further than 15-20 feet), nor chase frisbees. No jumping on and off of furniture, nor jumping in and out of vehicles and please be very careful of stairs. Failure to comply with this will nullify the guarantee on hips and elbows. Puppies need exercise, but excessive wild exercising is not only hard on the joints, it creates a hyper dog. The best exercise for a growing puppy is swimming, walking and free off-leash play. Once a dog has reached maturity( 1 1/2 to 2 years of age) and the growth plates have closed jogging, frisbee and ball chasing are good.
9. This agreement shall be deemed and consummated in the county of McLean, Illinois and shall be governed by the laws of the state of Illinois.
BREEDER AGREES:
1. The sire and dam of this puppy have been examined and cleared for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, heart defects and eye defects. All necessary care has been taken to breed the healthiest of dogs with pedigrees that indicate good genetic backgrounds.
2. This puppy will have been wormed four times, had it’s first set of shots, fecal exam and had a thorough physical by a licensed veterinarian with a clean bill of health before leaving breeder’s home. The puppy will be free of GR PRA 1 & 2, PRA-PRCD, ICT, DM and NCL Breeder guarantees that puppy has had proper care to date of release to Buyer. To the breeders knowledge, this puppy has no known diseases or illnesses that would adversely affect their health. Shot records will be furnished at time of purchase. If puppy is being shipped a copy of the shots records will be mailed to new owner. If within 72 hours of receiving the puppy and he/she is examined by a reputable veterinarian and the health of the puppy is found to be at risk due to a congenital defect (existing at birth), owner shall notify breeder and provide a written statement from a licensed veterinarian describing puppy’s condition and shall return the puppy and papers to the breeder within three days of the examination. Breeder will replace puppy or refund purchase price only provided puppy is in the same condition mentally and physically as when originally purchased. Stress can bring out certain treatable conditions that would not be included as a reason for a puppy’s return. Puppies are naturally at risk for coccidia, giardia or worms which is often brought on by the stress of a new home, new food, new people, or just a change in environment. This includes but is not limited to worms, fleas, mites, coccidia, giardia, or any other parasites as they can sometimes be common in dogs and puppies. Buyers Initials: ______________
