The agreed upon purchase price for a puppy is $XXXXX.  The payment may be made in two installments of which the first installment (deposit) of $500.00 is due upon receipt and acceptance of this contract.  This deposit insures in good faith that the said puppy will be provided to the buyer.  The deposit is non-refundable.  The balance is due prior to shipping must be paid by cheque, cash, money order or wire transfer.  

It is understood that the puppy will remain with its mother until no less than 7 weeks old.  The pup is ready for pick-up at 8 weeks unless other arrangements have been made.  It is understood that the first set of shots, dew claws removal, examination, de-worming if required are included in sale price.  In addition a microchip will be implanted in the chosen puppies and registered in the buyers name with the seller listed as alternate contact. 

It is recommended that the dogs be taken to the veterinarian within 72 hours after pickup.  This is not a mandatory requirement.  It would be to certify its good health, which would have been done by sellers Veterinarian at time of first set of shots at 7 – 7 ½ weeks old.  In the event that the dog is considered unhealthy at that time, a full refund will be provided as long as the dog is returned immediately.  All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.  If within one week of purchase the buyer decides to return the dog for any other reason, all but the $500 deposit will be refunded. 

 It is understood that at the time of sale, this dog is a good representative of its crossbreed and is suited as a companion dog.   Beginning training classes are recommended to insure a good relationship with the dog.  Crate training methods are an individual preference.

Although highly unlikely, the puppy may take a few days, depending on age and temperament, before it becomes familiar with its new surroundings. It is perfectly natural if it chooses not to eat/drink or be sociable during this time.  This is very unlikely to occur.  

The dog has a warranty for genetic, hereditary defects that develop to the extent of rendering the dog unsuitable as a pet or altering his/her normal life, up to the age of two years.  Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, vWD, hereditary eye issues covered by CERF, Cardiac, Addisons and Thyroid malfunctions are to name a few.  Slight under /over bite is not considered a hereditary defect unless it alters the dog’s ability to eat.  There are no guarantees that the colour will remain the same as it is as a puppy.  The only exclusions to the hereditary defects warranty are for digestive or skin issues.  Environmental factors can contribute making it unknown whether the issue is hereditary or environmental.  In the event of a hereditary defect the seller will reimburse the purchaser for Vet bills towards the treatment up to the purchase price or the puppy may be returned and a suitable replacement dog will be provided from the next available litter.  Medical proof of any claim must be provided to seller's Veterinarian at purchasers cost, including a statement that unequivocally states it is a hereditary disease that could not have been caused by environmental factors.  The purchaser waives any rights to compensation other than what is stated on this contract.  

It is highly recommended to get dog insurance because accidents do happen and there are no guarantees in life.  It is not recommended to change the puppy’s food often or to feed various treats when the pup is young.  Vitamin supplements are not recommended.  The puppy is eating Purina Pro Plan Puppy Large Breed Formula.  Use the pup’s regular kibble as a treat.  I only recommend using Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy then Adult Formula or Royal Canin Large breed formula after the puppy stage between 9-12 months.  Not all dogs can handle all foods.  To ensure the safety of their digestive system don’t feed rich foods or spices.  Hot dogs are generally not a good idea.

The buyer agrees to spay this puppy within twelve months of purchase. The buyer understands that this dog is not intended for breeding.   The buyer agrees to send proof of the procedure.  If this dog is used for breeding $4000.00 is payable to the seller at time of first litter.  If this dog is found to be neglected or abused, the seller reserves the right to take immediate possession of the dog.  The dog is not suitable to live out doors and is being sold as an indoor dog.  The heat is extremely dangerous to dogs.  Never leave your dog in your car in the summer.  Always provide fresh clean water.

If buyer cannot keep the above dog at any point, seller reserves the right to be notified ahead of time and given first purchase option.  The seller will help find a suitable home for the dog.

The Buyer certifies that he/she will be the principle owner and caregiver of the said puppy and that the said puppy is NOT being purchased with the intent that the puppy will be used as a gift or present to any third party, including the Buyer’s friends and family.  That the puppy will receive scheduled vaccinations and annual check ups or the warranty is void.

If any of the terms of this contract are not met, seller reserves the right to take immediate repossession of the dog.  The purchaser needs to maintain the dog’s ideal body weight, as obesity causes illness.  It is recommended to feed the puppy a large breed puppy formula dog food so the growth is gradual not too fast.  They are currently eating Purina Pro Plan large breed puppy formula.  Purina Pro Plan is a proven food and is highly recommended to stay on the large breed formula.

One of the highlights of breeding Doodles is to hear how well the puppies are doing in their new homes.  Please keep in touch; letters and photos are always welcome. We hope you will enjoy many years with your new companion.   Questions regarding your pup are always welcome.
