We as breeders have done all that is possible to ensure that your new pug or french bulldog baby
is in good health at the time of delivery. It is VERY IMPORTANT to your new baby's health that you provide all necessary
preventive vaccinations, required wormings, provide a healthy diet, regular veterinary care, and adequate living conditions.
NEW OWNER is responsible to provide immediate medical care throughout your puppy's lifetime at the first signs
of illness, injury, or distress. Failure to do so is considered neglect and nullifies any rights under this agreement.
NEW OWNER is soley responsible for all medical expenses incurred. Adding
a puppy as a family member is just that - EXPANDING YOUR FAMILY - and he/she is entitled to prompt medical care as well as
annual vaccinations, worming, and heartworm prevention and at least a yearly health check by your animal care specialist.
Just like children, puppies can and will get sick at the least opportune time and can go from being healthy to needing medical
care rapidly. Puppies are still babies at 8 or 9 weeks of age and MUST be closely supervised to ensure that they are not overdoing
their exertions (providing a quiet nap-time is a good idea), and eats/drinks in adequate amounts. There is too
much outside stimulation in puppy's new environment and like a young child, they are not capable of determining
these things solely by themselves.
NEW OWNER is required to have their new family member examined by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours
of delivery. We, the breeders, must be notified within two days by email or fax the results of this examination. If
neither form of communication is possible, notification by phone followed by written results mailed via the US Postal Service
will be fine. Failure to do so will nullify this health guarantee.
Your new puppy is guaranteed against LIFE ALTERING & FATAL GENETIC defects for the period
of one year from his or her birth. If a genetic defect of this nature is found within that time frame and
is verified by a second veterinarian of our choice, a replacement puppy of like value will be provided as
soon as one is available. Replacement puppy may or may not be from the same set of parents but will be mutally agreed
upon by both parties. This does not include internal, external parasites and/or kennel cough. Also excluded is what
is considered common and normal to the these breeds: cherry eye, entropion, "loose" hips, skin allergies, elongated
soft palate, and stenotic nares. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT COVER INJURY OR ILLNESS!
IF A LIFE ALTERING OR FATAL GENETIC DEFECT is varified as described herewithin, the puppy will be
replaced as follows:
-
IF PUPPY as been bred, spayed, neutered or euthanized without breeder's prior permission, no replacement will
be provided.
-
Show and/or breeder quality, animal size, color and temperment of puppy is NOT GUARANTEED. We will do
our best to provide you with a loving, well-natured, puppy of your desired color but new owner must understand that
color and size is not ultimately predictable. Suitability for showing and/or breeding can not be absolutely determined
until said puppy is close to becoming an adult and is not guaranteed. Again, we will do our best to match the best puppy
with you.
-
IF PUPPY dies, despite proper medical treament provided in a timely manner from onset of symptoms,
within one year from his or her date of birth, a necropsy must be performed at owner's expense to determine if the
cause of death was from a covered genetic issue. This report must be in writing and verified by a second licensed veterinarian
to qualify for replacement. We, the breeders, must be notified IMMEDIATELY if this situation occurs.
Failure to fulfill all conditions and terms stated within renders this contract null and void. A signed
copy of this contract MUST be returned to us, the breeders, within a 2 week period of purchasing and receiving your puppy.
Failure to do so will render this contract null and void.
There will ABSOLUTELY be no cash refunds.
In the unlikely event that legal litigation were to ever be necessary, the buyer agrees that any such
litigation will take place soley in Pend Oreille County, Washington and new owner agrees with this condition
by purchasing a puppy from us.
Thank you for purchasing your new family member from The Mountain
Valley Pug Ranch and we all wish you many years of health and happiness together.
Sincerely,
Ken and Merry Richardson
