Part II ~ The Breeder's Responsibility
- Breeder warrants that this puppy is a Goldendoodle registerable to
the Continental Kennel Club and application will be provided to the Buyer.
- Breeder warrants that puppy's parents are AKC registered purebred
Golden Retriever and Standard Poodle (or CKC registered Goldendoodle).
- The breeder guarantees that the puppy will be examined by a veterinarian
and issued a certificate of good health before delivery (the health exam
will be at approx. 7 weeks of age). The health certificate will be current
and shall be provided to the buyer at the time they take possession of
the puppy.
- The breeder guarantees the puppy to be healthy and free of disabling
genetic diseases as prescribed in this contract and stated in the guarantee
below.
Part III ~ Initial Heath Guarantee
Initial health guarantee is as follows:
Your puppy is guaranteed to be in good health at the time of delivery
(or when shipping, at the time of shipment). The buyer has a 72 hour
guarantee in which the buyer is encouraged to have the puppy checked by
a licensed veterinarian (at the buyer's expense).
1) If the veterinarian finds any preexisting serious or life
threatening problem the buyer has the following choices, providing a letter
documenting the condition is provided from the licensed veterinarian:
- Return the dog to the breeder within 48 hours of the exam for a full
refund of the original purchase price, minus all shipping costs (does not
include expenses incurred by the buyer),
OR
- Return the dog to the breeder within 48 hours of the exam and
the puppy will be exchanged for a similar puppy as soon as one is available
(all shipping expenses to be paid by the buyer).
2) Should the puppy be found to have a minor preexisting condition by a licensed vet during the 72 hour period, the buyer will contact the breeder immediately. Upon receiving confirmation from the vet, the breeder will be responsible for the costs of medications only, up to the amount of $100. The buyer is responsible for informing the breeder in advance of any veterinary care undertaken. The breeder will not provide reimbursement for expenses incurred without breeder's prior approval and vet confirmation. The vet exam expense is the responsibility of the buyer.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide replacements or refunds on pups that are harmed or become ill during shipping. The breeder is not responsible to cover the cost of treatment for fleas or ticks, or other health conditions that the puppy could acquire during the 72 hr period after it leaves the breeder. Once the puppy has cleared the initial vet exam OR the 72 hour time frame passes it is understood that the breeder has provided a healthy puppy. This guarantee does not cover shipping expenses. No exchanges or reimbursement will be made after the initial 72 hour guarantee ends.
Part IV ~ Genetic Health Guarantee
The breeder guarantees the puppy to be free of inheritable
genetic defects for a period of 24 months,
including:
- Hip dysplasia on or before 24 months of age as diagnosed by an organization
who specializes in diagnosing HD (a veterinarian cannot make the diagnosis).
- Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) on or before 24 months of age as
diagnosed by a veterinarian certified by ACVO.
- Von Willebrand’s as diagnosed by an OFA approved DNA lab.
Should the puppy be found to have
an inherited genetic defect requiring treatment the buyer shall have a
choice of the following:
1) Zippity Doodles™ will reimburse
the buyer for Vet prescribed treatment expenses up to 50 % the original
purchase price of the puppy (excluding shipping costs)
OR
2) Zippity Doodles™ will provide
a replacement pup (buyer is responsible for costs associated with shipping
the puppy).
All testing and examinations are the responsibility of the buyer. The buyer's licensed vet must provide the breeder with a written statement, accompanied by corroborating documentation (x-rays/blood tests, etc.) from an approved source (as stated above) documenting that the genetic defect exists. Further, the buyer must provide proof of veterinary expenses and a copy of the paid invoice before reimbursement is provided. Medical proof of any claim must be provided to breeder's Veterinarian at purchasers cost including a statement that unequivocally states it is a hereditary defect that could not have been caused by environmental factors.
Part V ~ The Buyer's Responsibility
The buyer agrees:
- Not to take the puppy to public places or to socialize with unvaccinated
dogs until 10 days from the 1st vaccination, doing so will void all guarantees.
- All testing, transportation, and veterinary costs are at the buyer's expense.
- This guarantee is non-transferable. In the case the dog has been sold or given away, this guarantee becomes void.
- Dogs that have been physically injured are not covered by this guarantee.
- Dogs must be kept current on all vaccinations, heartworm medication, worming, flea & tick preventative, and other preventative maintenance recommended by common veterinary practice to remain under guarantee. Veterinary health records demonstrating the above, in addition to proof of diagnosis, treatment, and payment must be provided if guarantee is to be enforced.
- Buyer agrees to maintain the puppy at a proper, healthy, weight using a high quality large breed dog food appropriate for the size and age of the puppy. Buyer agrees to limit the use of stairs and agrees not to over exercise the puppy during the first year. These provisions are so as to prevent bone growth defects and are based on current research.
- All veterinary and transportation expenses are the buyer's obligation. The breeder reserves the right to have the dog examined by a veterinarian of their choice at the buyer's expense before a replacement or refund is made.
- Buyer will sign the purchase agreement/health guarantee and return with a non-refundable payment (1/2 of the total charges, less the wait list deposit) due by the litter's 3 week birthday to acknowledge acceptance of these terms. Final payment (inc. shipping charges) is due no later than your puppy's is 5 week birthday. Payments not received by the due dates will release your puppy to another buyer, and your previous deposits/payments will be forfeited.
-Buyer understands that dog is not guaranteed to be hypoallergenic or low shedding; and no guarantee is made regarding size, adult color, or coat.
- Buyers agree that they may be buying a puppy “sight unseen.” Buyer agrees that all sales are final, except for as noted in this contract under health guarantee, and that there will be no refunds made, except as noted in this contract.
-Buyer agrees to notify Zippity Doodles first if it becomes necessary to re-home the dog at any point during it's life.
- Buyer agrees to take delivery of the puppy before the pup's 9 week birthday by arranged appointment. Buyer agrees that beginning with the 9 week birthday, there will be a $25 per day boarding/training fee. Breeder may not be available for boarding/training at 9 weeks; therefore boarding must be by prearrangement with breeder.
-This puppy is sold as a pet/companion only. The breeding of our dogs without breeding rights under a separate contract is prohibited. Buyer must spay or neuter the dog by 6 months of age to keep the guarantee in force. Failure to do so will render the guarantee null and void, and may result in repossession of the dog. Buyer will be responsible for all expenses incurred in repossessing the dog including legal fees and up to $10,000 in fines for breeding a Zippity Doodles Goldendoodle without prior written consent.
Upon receipt of this Purchase Agreement/Health Guarantee the buyer must return a signed copy and 50% payment (less the deposit previously paid) to the breeder. Failure to return this Purchase Agreement/Health Guarantee with payment to the breeder by the puppy's 3 week birthday (__/__/__) will cause the buyer to forfeit all deposits and payments made previously and release the breeder from all contractual obligations.
I have read the above conditions, I understand them, and agree to abide
