___________________________________________________________,
herein after referred to as "Buyer."
In consideration of
payment in full of the purchase price of S Dollars
($ ) by Buyer to Sellers, Sellers agrees to
transfer to Buyer, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this
contract, the ownership of one Male/Female Newfoundland puppy, herein after referred
to as the "Puppy" (regardless of age), from the mating of the sire

Pickup/Shipping
As soon as is reasonably possible after the Puppy is eight weeks of
age, Sellers will make the Puppy available to be picked up by Buyer.
Puppy Health at
Pickup/Shipping
Sellers shall have the Puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian as
near as feasible to the pickup or shipping date and determined to be free of
disease or injury. Should the Puppy not be free of disease or injury, Sellers
shall notify Buyer and pickup shall be delayed until any health problem is
resolved. The Puppy will have first shots and will be up-to-date on
worming. Buyer should have their own
veterinarian examine puppy as soon as possible after pick-up.
Registration and
Breeding
Sellers will
provide Limited American Kennel Club Registration. AKC Limited Registration means you DO NOT have
breeding rights and CANNOT show this dog in Conformation Events. This dog CAN
participate in all other AKC events such as Obedience, Agility, Water Work,
Tracking, Carting, Search and Rescue, Therapy Work etc. We require that the dog/bitch be spayed
or neutered. This dog shall not be registered with any other registry, such as
CKC.
We have known of
disreputable breeders buying AKC puppies with limited registration and then
using them to get CKC or other registration to breed the dog. Most of the time,
those are breeders who treat dogs as livestock rather than pets. We raise our
puppies to go to families as pets, therapy dogs, or
service dogs and want to prevent any misuse.
Health Guarantee
Health Warranty:
Within one year of
purchase Breeder agrees to take possession of this pup and replace it with
another puppy of the same sex and color from the next available litter or, at
the breeders discretion, refund the amount of the original purchase price if
the refund is to be used for treatment of the dog, if either of the following
occurs:
1. Puppy
shows degenerative hip disease through a preliminary screening from OFA after 6
months of age. Severe, crippling hip dysplasia MUST be diagnosed by an OFA preliminary evaluation.
This will involve your vet taking OFA XRAY films of the hips. A copy of those XRAYS is then submitted to OFA (Orthopedic
Foundation For Animals) for evaluation. The OFFICIAL OFA evaluation must come back as degenerative
moderate or severe hip dysplasia. A copy of the official report must be
forwarded to breeder BY OFA (not by purchaser).
This
entire health guarantee is null and void IF the puppy has a history of
accident, abuse, neglect OR a history of an injury resulting in ANY
broken bones.
2.The puppy is diagnosed with congenital heart
disease by means of either 1) clinical observation; 2) grade 3 or greater
murmur; or 3) ultrasound (echocardiogram) with visual confirmation of a
life-threatening disorder (not accelerated blood velocity without visual
confirmation).
3. In addition we also
guarantee this puppy against any life-threatening congenital disorders for 1
year from date of purchase.
Please note that this warranty does not guarantee that the pet
will meet our higher heart and joint standards for breeding purposes which are
not necessary for a pet to have a long, healthy, active life.
