(Airline charges, travel to airport expenses, plus kennel )

It is further agreed by both parties that:

A.        Use of the Dog
It is agreed between Breeder and Buyer that this dog is being acquired as a family companion dog or 
for a working dog to be used for tasks appropriate to its breed such as therapy dog or for exhibition
 in AKC  conformation, obedience, or agility competition. Buyer agrees that the dog is not purchased
 for resale nor will it be used or trained for activities which are illegal or  for which it is not suited by
 reason of temperament or conformation. 
Specifically it will not be used as a guard or attack dog or to  hunt or fight other animals.

The Buyer agrees that he/she will not sell, transfer ownership or possession of the puppy or any
of his/her progeny to any person or organization whose intent it is to resell (pet store), trade,  give 
away the dog, use it in any experiments, laboratory or otherwise, or to use it as breeding stock 
for a puppy mill.

B.       Health
The Breeder warrants the dog has been examined by a veterinarian and to be in excellent health
 and free  from parasites at the time of purchase/pickup, but has not made and does not now make 
any further warranties as to the puppy’s condition after pickup or shipping.
 It is the Buyers responsibility  to prevent  illness and injury by providing necessary booster 
vaccinations, veterinary care, nutrition, fresh water, shelter and supervision.
 Further, the Breeder warrants that both the sire and dam's hips and elbows have been X-Rayed 
and evaluated by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and are certified normal.
 Both parents  are also certified by OFA free of Heart disease, vWb disease,
 Thyroid disease and patella are certified normal. Results are posted to the OFA database online. 
Both parents are free of PRA either by testing or via parentage.

It is recommended by the Breeder that the Buyer take the puppy to a Veterinarian of his/her 
choice and gives seven days  in which to do so.  If, within those seven days, a veterinarian finds 
the puppy to be unsound, unhealthy, or possessing a  serious genetic defect, a statement
 in writing must be provided by that veterinarian documenting said condition for  Breeders’ veterinarian 
to review. Upon confirmation  from Breeders’ vet of said condition, Buyer may return the puppy,  
registration   and all of his/her effects to the Breeder and receive a full, immediate refund of the  
purchase price. All precautions have been made to insure that this puppy is in excellent health at the 
time of purchase including  vaccinations at 6 weeks of age and deworming on a regular basis. 
(2,4,6 and 8 weeks of age, using Strongid  and Panacur).
 A final health check has been made by Breeders veterinarian and a health certificate is
 included in your new puppy packet.  It is recommended that additional vaccinations be given at 9, 12 
and 16 weeks. Additionally, male show dogs have been checked and verification has been made
 that both testicles have  descended at the time of pickup. Accidents can happen with new puppy
 dogs and this contract does not cover testicle trauma after the puppy goes to his new home.
 Be sure to check for both testicles every single day. 
If one or both testicles travels up into the body be sure and get veterinarian attention promptly.

Additional Health Guarantee
This puppy is guaranteed until the age of one year against any serious genetic health problem
and is also  guaranteed to pass OFA hip certification through the age of 30 months (2 ½ years).
 If a puppy is thought to have a genetic defect regarding it’s hips, hip X-rays must be taken per
 OFA  recommendations and submitted to The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). Puppy's 
 microchip number must be recorded on the xrays. Copies of OFA findings must be submitted to 
the seller/breeder.
 Defects must be proven to be genetic and not caused by environmental 
factors or mishandling by the buyer, or feeding an improper diet. Any other serious genetic problem
needs to be diagnosed by the Buyers’ veterinarian  and reports sent to the seller/Breeder. 
The Breeder will present the veterinarian reports to her veterinarian for review to confirm 
whether the defect is genetic in nature.

If puppy does not pass OFA for hip certification, or has a confirmed genetic defect, 
Buyer must show proof  that puppy is spayed or neutered via a vet certificate 
 
(Buyer keeps his/her dog) and may obtain a replacement puppy , when available, from seller/breeder 
at  50% off of the original selling price. The breeder has done everything possible to eliminate
 hereditary diseases and problems by testing, care, pedigree planning and selection.

            Breeding the dog or bitch, or feeding any diet other than Eagle Pack
Large and Giant Breed Puppy food
supplemented with NuVet Vitamins voids any guarantee.
Buyer is responsible for transportation costs on any replacement puppy.     

C.
              Registration:
The Breeder certifies that the dog is eligible for registration under the Regulations of the American 
Kennel Club  as a purebred Mastiff and will provide the proper forms for such a registration.
 
Buyer agrees that the Breeders  kennel name prefix GREESONS will be at the beginning 
of the puppy’s registered name on the Registration certificate and understands that
 the puppy will be registered and named by the breeder. 
Buyer agrees not to change the registered name at any time..

D.              Ownership Responsibilities:
The Buyer agrees to maintain the dog in a humane environment and properly train and care for it.
 Specifically the dog will be properly licensed and Inoculated against rabies, distemper, parvovirus,
 and other communicable diseases as recommended by a qualified veterinarian. 
The dog will not be allowed to roam, will be socialized and obedience trained appropriately.

 The Breeders will microchip the puppy before it is released.

The Buyer agrees that this puppy will not be raised on slippery surfaces, or allowed to
 bound up and down stairs, rough-house with larger dogs, jump down from heights or out of 
cars, etc, as this type of activity contributes to the breakdown of joints and growing bones, 
dislocation of shoulders, hips and damaged elbows. 
The Buyer further agrees that the puppy’s weight will be under strict supervision until the
 dog reaches his/her  second birthday.
It is far better to have the dog slightly underweight then 
overweight, because excess weight contributes to structural breakdown of the dog. Buyer also
 agrees nothing will be given to the dog that would  encourage rapid growth; including steroids,
 anything that promotes rapid weight gain  and nutritional supplements 
other than
Nupro Silver Joint  Support Formula and/or NuVet Vitamins,.
 A high quality, low protein formula dog food is recommended. 

The breeder uses Eagle Pack Large and Giant Breed Puppy Food
supplemented with NuVet Vitamins and Nupro Silver.
and strongly recommends that this puppy be raised on the same food. 
Proper, balanced nutrition is extremely important every single day to a growing mastiff puppy.

           Eagle Pack Large and Giant Breed Puppy Formula has a strong influence on the 
normal growth of your dog
, helping to eliminate many potential developmental problems.
 
Eagle Pack Dog Food is available at many stores and retailers.
 Please go to
www.eaglepack.com to find a retailer near you.
 Eagle Pack Dog Foods are also available thru The Mastiff Sweet Spot.
 


NuVet Vitamins create a powerful boost to the dog’s immune system. Nuvet Vitamins 
provide antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, and amino 
acids that cannot be added to a heat processed dog food. 
 
I feel it is an absolutely necessary ingredient in the diet of a growing puppy.
Please order Nuvet Vitamins directly from www.nuvet.com,  (or call 800-474-7044)
reference number 36745

            Nupro Silver is an all natural supplement that greatly enhances coat and skin health
 and offers a large amount of joint protection. It also boosts the immune system.
Nupro Silver is available at many veterinarians and is also available thru The Mastiff Sweet Spot .

 This is your puppy and you may feed it anything you want.
You do not “have” to feed this food and vitamin supplement,
HOWEVER …..  feeding any diet other than
Eagle Pack Large and Giant Breed Puppy Formula
supplemented with
Nuvet Vitamins  (Nupro is optional)
will void any guarantees made to the buyer in this contract.


 I have 40 years of experience with nutrition in dogs
and I have learned the hard way what works and what does not work.
I do not feel obligated to guarantee any puppy that is not fed correctly


E.              Spay & Neutering:
Females which are purchased as family pets (non-breeding) and males which are judged not to be 
of show and breeding quality may  be spayed or neutered when they are near maturity if the owner
 desires to do this - 12 months for bitches and 18 months for dogs.
Neutering dogs earlier than 18 months negatively affects growth and evelopment.
No guarantee for hips is made if the dog is neutered, 
as neutering
negatively affects proper growth and devlopment.


F.               "Show Quality" Dogs:
The Breeders will use their best judgment and the advice of other fanciers in evaluating the puppies
as to show or pet quality. There is no guarantee that a puppy evaluated as "Show Quality"
 will be successful in the show ring as an adult and  no warranties  are made to that effect.
 
The Breeder encourages owners to participate in the sport of purebred dogs and will assist 
Buyers with advise in preparing and showing dogs  which are evaluated to be of show quality. 
The breeder also has no controll over the breeding potential of any puppy as an adult and makes
no guarantee  as to the success of this animal as breeding stock
.

G.
              Right of Recovery/Placement:
In the event that the Buyers are unable to keep the dog or provide an appropriate home in
 accordance with this agreement,  the dog with its title/registration will not be transferred to
 any person or organization other then the  Breeder, whether by sale, gift, loan or otherwise,
 unless agreed to by the Breeder in writing.  Buyers agree to notify the Breeder if any such
 contingency arises and will not abandon the dog to a shelter or sell or give the dog away. If dog is
 found to have been sold or given away without Breeders knowledge and said  breeder discovers this, 
Breeder will take legal action and original Buyer of the dog will be responsible for all legal expenses
 incurred. The Breeder wishes to ensure that this dog is always in a place where he/she will be
 properly cared for.

Buyer agrees that he/she has read and understands the terms and conditions of this contract
 fully.  This contract is under the jurisdiction of the state of Florida, in the county of Lake. It is agreed 
the place of venue shall be in Lake County, Florida. Any breech of this contract could be detrimental 
to the name and reputation of the breeder/seller and the breeder/seller will be entitled to 5 times the 
purchase price of the puppy including but not limited to attorneys fees, court cost, any and all 
expenses acquired and (or)  the puppy back. All other states and counties are asked to
 please accept this contract as legally binding  and enforceable.

        LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
 In no event will Breeder be liable for any incidental or consequential damages including, without limitations,
loss of profit and claims of third parties, however caused. All questions concerning the validity, operation,
 interpretation and construction of this Agreement shall be governed by and determined in accordance
with the  laws of the State of Florida.  In the event that any one or more provisions contained in this Agreement
 should, for any reason, be held to be unenforceable in any respect under the laws of any state or of the
United States, unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement
 shall be construed as if such unenforceable provisions had not been contained herein.


This contract is designed to protect the Mastiff and its future offspring, the Breeder 
and the Buyer of  said Mastiff. By signing, all parties agree to all clauses of this contract.
