A puppy is defined here as a male/female puppy which is in good health at the time of sale and embodies the characteristics of the Doberman Pinscher breed. This contract is non-transferable and it applies only to the original Buyer and Breeder.
The Breeder guarantees the above described dog as being healthy at the time of sale. The Breeder does not assume responsibility for any injuries made to the puppy after delivery due to negligence of the Buyer. The Seller assumes no liability for any injuries to said puppy during the shipping process.
The Buyer agrees to have this puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 5 days of delivery. If puppy is found to be in poor health within that 5 day time frame then The Seller will offer a replacement puppy. If the buyer chooses not to have the puppy examined within 5 days, the contract will become null and void and a replacement puppy will not be made available.
The Buyer must present to the breeder written verification from a licensed veterinarian as to the illness of the puppy prior to replacement. No replacement will be made until such documentation is provided. The Breeder reserves the right to take said puppy to his/her vet for a second opinion before such replacements are made.
The Buyer submits that all documents that were submitted to him/her at the time of sale are to be returned to the Breeder upon return of said puppy. If not returned, buyer will not receive replacement puppy.
The Breeder provides a one year genetic health guarantee OR an extended Lifetime Guarantee at no additional cost if the dog/puppy is kept on Nu-Vet Plus Vitamins for the duration of the guarantee (See terms and conditions of the extended Guarantee below). Should the puppy be shown to have a genetic defect or expire from a genetic defect within the first year of ownership, the Breeder will replace the puppy under the following conditions:
1. Buyer agrees that should said puppy expire for unknown reasons and Buyer requests another puppy, then an autopsy (necropsy) should be performed on the puppy, by a licensed veterinarian and a written statement is to be provided to the Breeder with the exact cause of death. If the puppy expired due to negligence of the Breeder, then a replacement will be provided, as soon as possible, at no extra cost.
2. If the puppy is found to have a disabling genetic problem due to the Breeder within the first year of ownership then a replacement puppy will be provided, as soon as possible, upon written proof from a licensed veterinarian stating the exact cause of illness.
3. Buyer agrees to return any registration papers from the previous puppy, as well as copies of all veterinary records, to the Breeder before providing a replacement puppy. This will help us to improve the overall health of the animals produced in our breeding program in the future.
The Buyer agrees to maintain the puppies health in good condition and to provide all Veterinarian recommended vaccinations, dewormings, examinations and other customary procedures necessary to assure the puppy's good health. Breeder strongly recommends that the Buyer bring the puppy to a minimum of a basic obedience class and that the puppy is provided proper socialization opportunities, however, exposure to places where other dogs frequent such as dog parks and pet stores should be limited until all puppy booster vaccinations are complete between 12 and 16 weeks of age.
Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA)
Blue and Fawn colored Dobermans often suffer from a condition known as Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA). It is a form of follicular dysplasia (FD). The symptoms include bilateral balding that usually starts on the flanks or along the topline and spreading down the back.
Typically, the coat will begin to thin between the ages of one and three years. In severe and rare cases, all of the blue or fawn hairs will fall out. Most often, however, a dog with CDA will end up with a very thin coat along the back and flanks but will not go completely bald. Despite the thin coat, the dog will remain healthy. It is almost always just a cosmetic problem resulting in a varying degree of hair loss.
*Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA) related skin/thyroid problems regarding dilutes (blues and fawns) ARE NOT covered by this health guarantee, however, these problems can be greatly reduced or eliminated by keeping your pet on Nu-Vet Plus (see information under extended guarantee)
Medical Treatment/Expenses
Under no condition will we replace a puppy where we are not notified of it's being ill within 48 hours. We will require documentation from your veterinarian as well as to speak to them, so please have this information available. We reserve the right to have a second opinion opinion at a veterinarian of our choosing and/or to discuss the matter and the puppies past medical history with your veterinarian.
