Contract for Buying A Puppy

 

Conditions of Sale:

Seller guarantees that at the time of delivery, the dog was checked by a licensed Vet and is in

good health. Should dog be found to be in poor health of a serious nature that is diagnosed as

permanently life altering by a veterinarian, Seller will provide Buyer a full refund of the

purchase price of dog only after dog is returned to Seller at Buyer’s expense. Lake Wylie Doodles

puppies are sold as pet only with no breeding privileges.  Any dog not spayed or neutered will

cancel guarantee.  Any unauthorized breeding will result in confiscation of the dog, any puppies

and a $30,000 fine.  All legal proceedings will be held in York County SC, and all court costs

will be the responsibility of the buyer. I understand that my deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to a future litter.

 

The Buyer has three (3) days from the time of receipt of dog to have dog examined by a

veterinarian. Any request to return the dog to the Seller for a full refund must be made within

this time period and may only be requested should the dog be found to have a health issue of

such serious nature that the quality of life of the dog will be shortened or seriously altered. Your

deposit will not be refunded.

 

“The breeder has taken all reasonable care to ensure that all pups produced are as healthy as

possible. Cancers, foreign body ingestion, behavioral issues, accidents, ear infections and UTIs

reduction strategies with their Veterinarian and to acquire private pet insurance for such as the

to the puppy’s transition from the Sellers home are not reason for dog to be returned to Seller. A

puppy’s bite is also not covered as it changes over time.  Proof of examination and diagnosis must be provided to Seller and Sellers vet, should Buyer wish to request returning dog for a refund. This must be done within three days. We do strive to produce a certain look, but we do not guarantee size, color, appearance, hypoallergenic quality, or non-shedding quality.

A warranty against all serious life altering genetic disease is provided for two years after the date

to the purchase price of the dog if dog is kept by Buyer. Two independent veterinary examinations and reviews must be provided to Seller documenting the genetic health issue. Reimbursement of veterinary fees is provided to Buyer once copies of the medical reports are received by Seller. Reports must state the treatments provided, and fees for the treatments. The Seller also reserves the right to obtain a 3rd opinion from her own vet. Both vets must agree that the problem is genetic. Hip dysplasia is also covered up to one year of age. This warranty will be terminated should dog be allowed to become overweight resulting in over stressed joints at any point during the warranty period. Veterinary medical records will be required showing the weight of dog and veterinarian’s assessment of the weight.

Buyer is responsible for appropriate training of puppy to correctly teach acceptable behaviors and is responsible for proper socialization of puppy. Should Buyer not be successful at training these behaviors on their own, Buyer agrees to seek professional help from a certified trainer should it become necessary. Lake Wylie Doodles encourages buyer to consult them with questions of training or any other issues concerning anything for the lifetime of the dog.
