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

puppy back. All other states and counties are asked to

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

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

held to be unenforceable in any respect under the laws of any state or of
