HEALTH GUARANTEE
Seller certifies that this puppy is a purebred German Shepherd of sound body, good health, and free of communicable diseases as far as appears to the eye. This puppy has been checked by a veterinarian and was found to be healthy and has received one set of puppy shots and been treated for worms. Buyer is encouraged to have the puppy examined by their own veterinarian within three days of the sale. You will receive a replacement puppy of equal or greater value from our next available litter if this puppy has any congenital defects which result (or may result) in death or in its having to be euthanized within one year of this sale. Seller must be provided with a written report of the dog's health problem from Buyer's veterinarian. The Buyer assumes full responsibility for all costs and care during this time.______
Temperament:
We do not warrant the temperament of our puppies. Temperament is determined by genetics and environment. Too often, nice puppies develop temperament problems as a result of the way they were raised. We have no control over environment. All of our breeding dogs have passed a temperament test, the BH. ________
Ears:
The pups ears are warranted to stand. If they are not standing by 4 1/2 months, the owner must contact our kennel. A vet must examine the pup at 5 months of age. The ears must be taped for a period of 4 weeks starting at 4 1/2 months. If they are not standing after 4 weeks of taping the owner must again contact our kennel, and the vet must again see the dog at 6 months of age. A pup will not be replaced for soft ears unless these procedures are followed and have been documented in our office. We do not have ear problems in our dogs. If a new owner takes the necessary precautions to tape weak ears 99.9% of the time they will stand. It is entirely possible to have a dog whose ears would have stood had they been taped, but they did not stand because the owner has not done his or her share in making sure the ears were properly taken care of. Customers should know that ears may come up and then go back down when the dog begins to get his adult teeth (at 4 to 5 months). If this happens the ears will ALWAYS come back up after teething.______
HIP GUARANTEE
Full Registration: This puppy is purchased with full AKC registration. Within one(1) year from date of purchase, should your puppy develop severe hip dysplasia or any genetic skeletal disorder, upon receipt of (1) a letter from a duly licensed veterinarian attesting to such condition (copies of x-rays may be required), (2) a copy of the O.F.A. evaluation report, (3) a spay or neuter certificate and (4) the AKC registration certificate on such puppy, you will receive a replacement puppy of equal or greater value from our next available litter. Exclusion: There are NO guarantees on a female puppy once she has been successfully bred._______
CONCERNING HIP GUARANTEE:
Puppies must not be over exercised during
their growth period (during their first 2 years). Over exercising is as
follows: No running/jogging with persons, jumping (Example: agility jumps,
off and on to- porch decks, high rear truck beds, trampolines etc.), or
'pulling'- bikes, carts, scooters, etc. NO jumping from elevated areas or
over obstacles. If the Puppy has been involved in any of these activities OR
if the Purchaser neglects to follow the written guidelines from the Breeder
concerning precautionary measures one must follow to avoid hip problems OR
due to any injury sustained while in Purchaser's possession, the hips
will NOT be guaranteed and the hip guarantee section of this contract
will be null and VOID._______
Limited Registration: This puppy is purchased as a pet and may not be bred (intentionally or unintentionally). You agree to spay or neuter this puppy between the age of seven and nine months of age and to mail McSeaton's Kennels a veterinarian certificate stating that the surgery has been performed. Within one (1) year from date of purchase, should your puppy develop hip dysplasia or any genetic skeletal disorder, which disorder will severely diminish your puppy's quality and enjoyment of life and necessitate euthanasia, upon receipt of (1) a letter from a duly licensed veterinarian attesting to such condition and (2) a certificate of euthanasia, as well as (3) the puppy's AKC registration certificate, you will receive a replacement puppy from our next available litter. A pet puppy who is found to have a mild condition, which condition will not in any way shorten or diminish the quality of life for that puppy, will NOT be replaced. On Limited Registration puppies, spay or neuter certificates from a duly licensed veterinarian must be provided before AKC registration papers and pedigree will be provided on such puppy. _______
