2.  Conditions of the Sale
Seller guarantees that at the time of delivery, the puppy is in good health.  Should the puppy be found in poor health of a serious life
threatening nature, seller will provide buyer with a replacement puppy after the dog is returned to seller at buyer’s expense. No refunds will be
made, only replacements will be offered for similar value puppy.
The following conditions apply to the sale of the aforementioned puppy:

• Deposits and Waiting List Fees are Non refundable if Buyer backs out.
• The Buyer has THREE (3) days from the time of receipt of the puppy to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian (will extend thru a
  Monday if bought on a weekend).  Any request to return the dog to the seller for a replacement must be made within this time period and may only
  be requested should the dog prove to have a life threatening genetic condition.  Written proof of examination must be provided to the seller.  
  This guarantee will be terminated immediately if the dog is not examined within the allotted time.
• The puppy is  warranted to be free from parvo virus, distemper, hepatitis, and canine influenza  for a period of 3 days from the date of receipt by
  buyer.  Again any such diagnosis must be confirmed in writing by a licensed veterinarian.  A second opinion may be requested if my vet feels
  necessary.
• Seller cannot warrant the puppy against common conditions such as hypoglycemia, kennel cough, mites, coccidiosis, giardia, parasites nor
  genetic conditions that are not deemed life threatening such as hernias, mild luxating patellas (grades 1-2), cherry eye, dry eye, or mild heart
  murmurs or allergies nor covers cherry eye repair or nasal clipping, which is sometimes found  in snub nosed puppies..  If they happen within the first 3 days, please contact seller.  After three days, they are the responsibility of the buyer.
• Under no circumstances shall the seller be liable to the buyer or to any other third party for any consequential or special damages resulting from
  or in a manner related to the dog..
• DO NOT TAKE THE PUPPY ANYWHERE for at least a week other than the vets office and do not put them on the floor there.  Let the puppy settle in to his new home.  Do not cause undue stress during transitioning.  This includes over stimulation by children and other dogs.  LET THE PUPPY REST and SETTLE IN.
• Buyer will NOT change food for at least the first 4 weeks. We recommend not changing for 10 months and then transitions to any new food gradually.
•  Buyer is aware of additional charges for shipping, shots, etc. if required.  Buyer is aware of the $50 per wk boarding fee if you don't want the pup
  shipped as planned at 8 -10 weeks old. Microchipping can be done for an additional $25.
• At  signs of puppy distress or illness the buyer must take puppy to a licensed veterinarian.

  DNA which is out of sellers control).
• Upon execution of this contract all veterinary care and its associated costs are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the buyer.
• If the puppy dies of a life threatening genetic disease within the first year of life, in order for a replacement puppy, the buyer must have a
  necropsy performed at their state lab and report proving the genetic disease sent to sellers veterinarian, Dr. Kenneth Mallard.  Failure to comply will receive no compensation.
