“COMPANION DOG” means the dog is sold as a pet rather than for breeding or show. No warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied are made under this contact except as stated below. The parties to this agreement submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the state of Minnesota and venue in the county of Rice for any dispute arising under this agreement, or the breach thereof. All buyers be advised that the MN Puppy Lemon Law applies to this sale. The statute is attached to this document as per the laws of the State of MN.

1. The dog is a purebred. The pedigree is correct to the best of my knowledge and is attached. The AKC papers will be sent to you upon receipt of proof that the dog has been spayed or neutered. AKC papers will be issued as a “limited” registration. This means that the offspring of this dog can not be registered and in no way impacts your ownership of the dog itself.

2. HEALTH The buyer/owner shall have the option to return the dog to the seller/breeder and obtain a full refund of the purchase price paid upon either of the following conditions:

If the dog is returned to the seller/breeder within two business days following the delivery of the dog to the buyer/owner and certification by a licensed veterinarian is concurrently provided to the seller/breeder stating that the dog is not healthy or as represented herein.

If, prior to the dog reaching 12 months of age, a licensed veterinarian certifies that the dog has hereditary crippling or fatal defects which would render the animal useless as a companion, provided the breeder's immunization schedule is followed.

The buyer/owner shall have the right to select the veterinarian and shall be responsible for the corresponding fees and expenses. The veterinarian’s certification shall specify the defects found.

You must get prior written authorization from the seller to euthanize this animal under the provisions of the contract. If the animal is not euthanized it must be returned to the seller to receive any consideration for or refund. Cost of return transportation to be born by the buyer.

The buyer/owner will notify the seller/breeder of any and all major health problems that occur throughout the dogs life time. I don’t need to know if your dog get ear mites at the kennel but I do want to know of conditions which might impact the entire breed. IF in doubt let me know. This is how I adjust my breeding program to produce the healthiest dogs possible.

The buyer/owner must maintain annual vet checks for the dog and keep all suggested immunizations up to date.

3. TRANSFER The animal my not be transferred to another owner or euthanized without prior written consent of the seller. The first right of refusal goes to the seller/breeder. The only exception would be in the case of trauma or sudden illness for which it would be reasonably felt to be inhumane to allow the animal to suffer. I am not in favor of extreme measures to save an injured or extremely ill dog. The comfort and quality of life for the animal are the major concerns.

If at any time you find you are unwilling or unable to keep this dog I will take it back.

If you desire to transfer him to a new owner you may not transfer him to:

A pet store (retail or wholesale) or other person (s) engaged in the business of selling dogs and/or any other animals.

Anyone holding a USDA license for the sale of any animal

Any person who intends to resell the dog

Any person who intends to breed this dog with any other dog without prior written authorization from the seller/breeder.

4. TRAINING The buyer agrees to complete an eight (8) week obedience school with in one year of the date of sale. Preferably as soon as the course is offered in your area. The sooner the better for the dog and the family!

5. NEUTERING The animal will be neutered at or after 12 months of age. Failure to do so will result in the dog being reclaimed with no reimbursement. The breeder suggests you wait for one year to neuter your dog.

6. HOUSING The buyer agrees to provide adequate housing and shelter for the animal. The buyer is aware that the greatest safety for the dog is achieved when the dog is confined to a fenced yard or kennel run while out of doors and that collars may and do strangle a dog left on a rope or chain. The dog must be restrained while out of doors at all times and with due care.

The buyer agrees to provide a crate (wire or plastic) for the dog. It is advised that while the dog is left alone he be confined to his crate for his safety.

7.The seller/breeder agrees to assist the buyer/owner in any way possible with all questions relating to this dog.
