Seller guarantees that the puppy is a purebred ______Great Dane.
(color)
Offspring of the above mentioned Sire and Dam.
Buyer understands that the puppy is being sold on a SPAY/NEUTER contract ONLY, and that in order to qualify to receive FULL AKC REGISTRATION the puppy must be altered; Females before their first heat and Males before 18 months of age, but neither before 10 months of age. Proof of surgery may be provided in the form of an official letter addressed from the licensed Veterinarian and/or his/her office. Letters may be submitted via Airmail or Email.
Buyer certifies that s/he is not acting as an agent for another individual, company or organization in the purchase of this puppy, and will not sell this puppy to any mass producing kennel, pet store, business or any other agency.
Buyer promises to keep this Dane in a proper manner suitable for the breed. S/He shall not be kept permanently in a kennel indoor or out. Buyer certifies that the Dane will not be kept crated for long periods of time and should s/he need to be crated, an appropriately sized open top exercise pen will be used. Buyer also agrees to maintain the health of the Dane with regular visits to the Vet, maintaining copies of all health records. If problems arise concerning keeping, training or otherwise caring for the Dane, or should the Dane become ill, the BUYER agrees to contact the BREEDER immediately! If it should prove necessary for the Dane to be removed from the home, the BUYER agrees to return him/her to the BREEDER or go through the BREEDER to find the most appropriate placement for the Dane. Selling to a third party is permissible only after prior consultation with the Breeder, whereby the main consideration is the assurance that the Dane is passed to responsible owners. AT NOT POINT IN TIME is the Dane to be placed in a shelter, SPCA, rescue or other similar facility. This Dane comes out of a breeding program established by TREOWE BLUES GREAT DANES, and has been carefully and painstakingly reared. The Dam and Sire were bred with the aim of producing healthy puppies that meet and proudly represent the AKC breed standards.
Seller guarantees this puppy to be free of communicable disease as appears to the eye at the time of transition. At the expense of the BUYER, a licensed Veterinarian should exam this Dane within 48 hours of possession to validate this Health Guarantee. If the puppy is acquired on a Friday, this contract allows for the exam to take place the following Monday.
During the initial evaluation, should this Dane be found in ill health, the cause of which is clearly attributed to the Breeder, this Dane may, upon written diagnosis from a licensed Veterinarian, be returned to the seller in exchange for a Dane of equal value – choice to be determined by the Seller. In the event that no other Dane is available, a refund may be given if the Dane was examined within the recommended time frame. Should the recommended time frames not be observed, a refund will NOT be given, however a replacement Dane will be provided from the next scheduled litter.
Buyer is responsible for regular veterinary care, including, but not limited to: remaining vaccinations, periodic worming, flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, etc. All puppies are de wormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, beginning their flea/tick and heartworm prevention treatment at 8 weeks with TriFexis. Because the puppies are allowed continue interactions with the Dam until they go home, possible re-infestation of the common worm may occur.
Breeder guarantees that all vaccinations and wormings are current. A Shot Record and Full Health Evaluation will accompany your pet and should be given to your licensed Veterinarian during the initial check up.
The fact that puppies have been vaccinated does not guarantee immunity – puppies receive a series of vaccinations that are given at recommended intervals by your licensed veterinarian.
IMPORTANT à Most often your veterinarian will recommend the Rabies vaccine at the same time as the final round of combo vaccines, which occurs typically around 16 weeks of age. NEVER give multiple vaccines in conjunction with one another. DO NOT give the Rabies vaccine prior to 6 months of age. Disregarding these recommendations leaves your puppy susceptible to various Auto Immune Disorders, with the most common result being epilepsy.
Breeder does not guarantee the temperament of the Dane, as it is the responsibility of the Buyer to properly socialize and train.
Breeder does not guarantee against HOD, Pano, OCD and other growth related bone disorders. These are NOT genetic and can be prevented with proper nutrition and care. Other common breed related issues not covered are Cherry Eye, Bloat/Torsion of the stomach.
A returned puppy must be returned to the Breeder in good condition (aside from any health or medical condition already discussed as basis for return), at the BUYERS expense.
If you plan to crop ears – Breeder does not guarantee that the ears will stand. It is the responsibility of the BUYER to properly tape the ears and train them to stand. Please do proper research and locate an experience, licensed Veterinarian to perform the surgery as well as guide the taping process after surgery.
Breeder offers NO guarantees or warranties against health related problems caused by improper nutrition or care, nor any accident or illness, which occur after the Dane has transitioned. No veterinarian expenses, quarantine, shipping charges, etc. shall be paid or compensated by the Breeder.
The health of our puppies is of utmost importance! Should there be conditions outside our control that make travel and delivery of the Dane dangerous, we will delay shipment or meeting arrangements for a later date and time.
When shipping puppies, we do so after Eight (8) weeks of age, following approval by our licensed veterinarian after a physical exam has been conducted. A puppy carrier is provided at the expense of the BUYER along with a health certificate provided by a licensed Veterinarian.
Guarantees are non-transferable and valid only to the original buyer.
Every effort has been made to assure that the Dane has been properly cared for, has received proper vaccines and has been dewormed at regular intervals up to the date of delivery. The BUYER has been informed of these as well as future vaccinations and wormings due and agrees to provide proper care. Failure to do so will render this contract null and void.
All items covered are by replacement only – no refunds are given, except in the event that a puppy has been examined by a licensed veterinarian within the recommended time frame and found to have a serious genetic defect.
Replacement puppy will be mutually agreed upon by both parties and will be of comparable quality and price. It is understood that a replacement puppy may not be from the exact same parents at the original puppy.
There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors that are not covered under this contract, for example, Demodectic Mange, Allergies, Thyroid Dysfunction and other Auto Immune Disorders. A physical problem or malformation as a result of injury after the Dane has transitioned is not covered under this contract.
BUYER agrees NOT to begin strenuous activity/exercise with the Dane until s/he has reached at least 18 months of age. Stairs are to be avoided until Six (6) to Eight (8) months of age. All play time/rough housing must be managed during the first Six (6) months – also known as the Rapid Growth Stages. This is to prevent bone growth development disorders and damage to the Dane during the formative stages.
Any surgeries resulting in the death of the puppy are NOT the responsibility of the Breeder.
Treowe Blues Great Danes and its owners, Ty and Lynnsey Ramsey, cannot be held liable for any damages by fault of the Dane after the time of sale. These damages include, but are not limited to destruction of property, and/or physical damage to any person or group of people.
