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, or give away the dog, or use it in any experiments, laboratory or otherwise or to use it as breeding stock for a puppy mill.

B.          HEALTH AND GUARANTEE
The Breeder warrants the puppy to be in excellent health and free from parasites at the time of purchase/pickup, including vaccinations at  6 weeks of age and has been dewormed on a regular basis. The breeders’ veterinarian has made a final health check and a current health certificate is included in your new puppy packet, or given to airlines if the puppy is shipped. It is recommended that additional vaccinations be given at 9, 12 and 16 weeks of age, with annual booster immunizations. Additionally, male show dogs have been checked and verification has been made that both testicles have descended at the time of pickup.

It is recommended by the Breeder that the Buyer take the puppy to a Veterinarian of his/her choice within seven days from the date of delivery of the puppy. If, within those seven days, a veterinarian finds the puppy to be unhealthy, or possessing a serious genetic defect, a statement in writing must be provided to the Breeder 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 transportation costs involved are the responsibility of the Buyer.

This puppy is guaranteed against hip and elbow dysplasia through the age of 30 months.

Copies of OFA findings must be submitted to the seller/breeder.

There is no guarantee that a puppy evaluated as "Show Quality" will be successful in the show ring as an adult or as a breeding animal and no warranties are made to that effect. Show quality puppies will be sold with full registration.

The buyer agrees a bitch sold with full registration will not be bred, intentionally or unintentionally until the age of 22 months. The buyer further agrees that the above dog/bitch will only be bred with a purebred mastiff that is AKC, UKC, or Canadian Kennel Club registered.
