By purchasing one of my puppies, you agree to these terms.

Please read the following agreement. If you have any questions, please ask for clarification.

The *SELLER/BREEDER guarantees the puppy has received the appropriate shots and de-worming schedule for the puppy's age. Although I have a rigid regiment for treating intestinal and external parasites, I do not guarantee against ANY intestinal or external parasites for these issues are easily treated and very common to puppies.  I also do not guarantee against ANY cosmetic defects.  The puppy is examined by a licensed veterinarian at the age of 6 weeks and when the puppy is picked up or  delivered, the puppy is in good health to the best of my knowledge.

A well examination must be performed by a certified Veterinarian within three working days of ownership, or contract is null and void.  The breeder is not responsible for ANY cost that may occur during examination. Should a licensed veterinarian diagnose the puppy with a life-threatening genetic defect, having been there from birth, the breeder will replace the puppy when written documentation of the condition is presented from the examining veterinarian, and verified by SELLER’S veterinarian, BUYER will have the option to exchange the puppy for a healthy puppy of same color, sex, and quality, if one is available, with all travel/shipping charges paid at BUYER’S expense.  If no replacement puppy is desired at the time of discovery or if another puppy isn't available, then breeder will accept the original puppy back and offer a new puppy from a future litter is so desired. The original puppy needs to be returned within 14 days from the day of discovery. 

If this puppy dies from a congenital defect or an unexplained incident before its 1st birthday an autopsy must be performed at BUYER’S expense, cause of death verified by a licensed veterinarian with written documentation and will be confirmed by SELLER’S veterinarian before a replacement PUPPY will be provided.  The loss of a puppy is very difficult and heart-breaking time for any pet owner, but please have the presence of mind to have an autopsy completed. Although we realize that nothing can replace this beloved family member, with an autopsy confirming a genetic or congenital defect we can help heal the hurt by giving you another puppy of the same value.  If no replacement puppy is desired from an upcoming litter, then buyer has forfeited all money paid.   If no agreement can be worked out between seller and buyer, then the buyer agrees to handle all legal matters/court cases in Rutherford county, TN and pay for court cost. The BREEDER DOES NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR INJURY OR MEDICAL COST AFTER DELIVERY, SHIPPING OR PICK UP OF PUPPY. I recommend that BUYER take this agreement and shot records to BUYER’S veterinarian. The information provided herein will assist BUYER’S veterinarian in setting the PUPPY up on his/her recommended schedule for heartworm treatment, flea program and remaining vaccine(s).

My puppies are intended to be sold as pets and papers for registration will not be given. I do not guarantee against size, color, cosmetic defects, breeding ability or show potential.

*Seller/Breeder is defined as Martha Durham OR Sandra Smith
