Caprock Golden Pet Puppy Contract

DATE: ________________, ________.

This contract is between David Harper herein referred to as “Seller” and ________________________________________________, herein referred to as “Buyer”. The Seller hereby conveys unto the Buyer the below described dog under the following terms, conditions, and warranties as agreed upon herein.

DESCRIPTION OF DOG

The dog herein conveyed is an AKC registered Golden Retriever. The particular dog, hereinafter referred to as the Puppy, its registration, date of birth, lineage, etc. is more fully described in packet sent home with Buyer.

LIMITATIONS OF CONTRACT

This contract applies to the original puppy and original buyer only and is non-transferable to a second party.

SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS

As of the date of this agreement, the Puppy is in good health and is free of communicable diseases. Although every precaution has been taken to transfer a healthy puppy, Seller will not be responsible for any illness or health problems which are diagnosed after Buyer’s initial veterinary health check, which must occur within 72 hours of date of sale. Should the Puppy be found in ill health, the cause of which is clearly attributable to Seller (Seller must be informed within 48 hours of veterinary examination), the Puppy may, upon presentation of a written diagnosis from said veterinarian and a veterinarian of the Seller’s choosing be returned for a replacement or refund. The Puppy is PET QUALITY.

CONSIDERATION

In consideration of the terms and conditions stated herein and the sum of $3,500.00 the Puppy is being sold to Buyer. A deposit of $200.00 may be applied to the purchase of the Puppy, which is non-refundable. If no PET QUALITY puppies are available, the deposit will be applied to the next Caprock Golden litter. SPAY/NEUTER AGREEMENT

Buyer agrees to have the puppy spayed/neutered by the time the puppy is no more than seven months old. It is the Seller’s belief that since the puppy is not show quality, it should not be bred. The puppy will be sold on Limited Registration with the AKC with the understanding that any offspring produced will not be eligible for registration through the AKC. This makes the puppy ineligible for competition in Conformation, but the puppy is still eligible for all other fields of competition offered by the AKC.

HEALTH

Seller guarantees that the Puppy has received appropriate medical inoculations and care including Parvo inoculations and wormings. Seller will provide buyer with a medical chart detailing treatment the Puppy had received under Seller’s care and future care Seller feels is essential to Puppy’s well being.

TEMPERAMENT

Seller strongly recommends that Buyer enroll the Puppy in obedience classes and provide proper socialization for the Puppy.

MAINTENANCE

Buyer agrees to maintain the Puppy in good health, provide routine preventative health care including, but not limited to, the following:

• Annual physical exams by a licensed veterinarian

• Rabies inoculations as mandated by state law

• Continual heartworm preventative

• Control of flea, ticks and other pests

• Annual DHLP-Parvo, including mid year Parvo boosters

• Puppy will be kept clean physically and in a clean environment

Buyer further agrees to provide proper exercise for the Puppy in order to maintain the Puppy in proper weight and physical shape. A proper diet consisting of a premium quality dog food shall be fed. We ONLY recommend Purina Pro Plan Dog Food. Buyer agrees that puppy is not to be left solely in backyard or kennel or crate and will be allowed to spend time in home with family members. The Puppy is sold with the understanding that it was to go to carefully selected parties, and that the Buyer agrees that the puppy shall be a member of the family. Buyer further agrees that the Puppy will NEVER be tied out, chained, or otherwise confined in a manner that is potentially injurious. The Puppy will be confined to a fenced yard and never allowed to run free unless it occurs during training. Buyer will not leave the Puppy outside in any inclement weather including, but not limited to, rain, hail, freezing temperatures, or extreme heat. Buyer will ensure that the Puppy has access to fresh, clean water at all times. Buyer must NOT at ANY time transport the Puppy in the open cargo area of a vehicle, such as the bed of a pick-up truck. A crate in the interior of a vehicle is always the safest mode or transportation.
