1. Registration
This puppy will be registered with the AKC by vom Heinolf with the name “*” followed by “vom Heinolf”. All registration names are chosen by vom Heinolf, NO EXCEPTIONS.
____ This puppy is sold with the NON-BREEDING agreement and with limited registration, requiring spay/neuter by twelve (12) months of age. If said dog is over twelve (12) months of age, buyer has exactly thirty (30) days to spay/neuter the dog. A copy of the statement from your veterinarian showing proof of spay/neuter must be given to vom Heinolf. Buyer agrees to the terms:______________ (initial)
____ This puppy is sold with the BREEDING agreement and with limited registration. At two (2) years of age this dogs hips and elbows must be x-rayed by a licensed veterinarian skilled at producing xrays for OFA certification. These x-rays must then be submitted to the OFA for certification and proof of passing ratings given to vom Heinolf. Passing ratings are "EXCELLENT", "GOOD" and "FAIR" for hips and "NORMAL" for elbows. When these conditions are met vom Heinolf will reverse the registration to full. The AKC application processing fee is the responsibility of the buyer. Breeding mate must be approved by vom Heinolf. Buyer agrees to the terms:______________ (initial)
2. Health, Hip & Elbow Guarantee
Health Guarantee:
This puppy has been immunized and dewormed according to the attached health record.
This puppy must be taken to a licensed veterinarian within forty-eight (48) hours from the date of sale to be examined and a report sent to vom Heinolf. Any claims must be made within this time period and will be verified by vom Heinolf's own veterinarian. If said puppy is proven to not be in good health buyer will be refunded the purchase price less the deposit and this puppy must be returned to vom Heinolf with all his/her paperwork including a signed AKC certificate and all veterinary records. Buyer agrees to the terms:______________ (initial)
vom Heinolf guarantees for one (1) year from the date of sale, against the death of this dog from a congenital disease/defect as diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian. If death occurs from a congenital disease/defect within one (1) year of purchase, this dog will be replaced with a puppy of the same sex from the next available litter. We breed 1-2 litters per year and a replacement puppy may not be immediately available. In no instance is a refund issued. After this puppy leaves our home we, of course, can no longer be responsible for any kind of loss, injury, accidental death or from any contagious disease or other problems contracted outside of our immediate and direct control. Puppies that become sick or die due to an accident or buyers negligence (chewing electrical cords, hung by collar, exposing the puppy to strange dogs before fully vaccinated, etc.) will not be replaced.
The buyer, not vom Heinolf, is responsible for all veterinarian bills, the costs associated with the return of a puppy and/or the replacement of a puppy. Buyer agrees to the terms:______________ (initial)
Hip & Elbow Guarantee:
vom Heinolf guarantees this puppy’s hips and elbows to pass OFA preliminary evaluation. X-rays showing proper positioning performed by a licensed veterinarian who is skilled at producing x-rays for OFA evaluation must be taken and submitted to the OFA by twelve (12) months of age. OFA passing for hips are “EXCELLENT”, “GOOD” and “FAIR” and passing for elbows are “NORMAL”. This warranty expires at fourteen (14) months of age. We recommend preliminary x-rays as early as nine (9) months of age. Before a puppy is replaced vom Heinolf will request a copy of all x-ray films taken and a copy of the OFA preliminary evaluation. At our discretion, we may request a second opinion x-ray be taken (at owner's expense) by a veterinarian of our choice. If the alleged defect is proven to be genetic, buyer can choose from one of the following options: a) Return the puppy, and receive a replacement puppy or b) Keep the puppy, and receive 1/2 off the purchase price of the replacement puppy. The replacement puppy will be the same sex and from the next available litter, not necessarily of the same breeding. We breed 1-2 litters per year and a replacement puppy may not be immediately available. In no instance is a refund issued. Breeder requires proof of spay/neuter of the dysplastic puppy before the guarantee will be honored. If the alleged defect is proven to not be genetic but caused by trauma, stress or any other NON-inherited factor, this guarantee will not be honored. Note: A “pet quality puppy” (a puppy not sold for breeding purposes) that may be evaluated with "Mild HD", can under most conditions, live a normal, pain free life, therefore, replacement of a puppy with "Mild HD" will be determined on an individual basis with a mutual agreement between the breeder and the owner of the puppy.
Buyer acknowledges they have been informed young bones do not properly calcify until twelve (12) months of age. Buyer acknowledges we will guarantee the hips and elbows until twelve (12) months of age, providing the buyer agrees they will not allow environmental conditions to adversely affect the development of the hip and elbow structure. Buyer will provide a certified nutritionally complete food that will not promote excessive growth or obesity. Buyer will provide regular moderate exercise. The buyer is aware if they allow the dog to engage in activities that would stress the hips and elbows before the age of ten (10) months then the hip and elbow guarantee becomes null and void. Activities include, but not exclusively, exercise on hard unyielding surfaces, continuous running, repetitive jumping, training in competitive dog sports, or any activity that may cause injury.
All guarantees are null and void if by two (2) months from the date of sale the puppy's registration certificate has not been submitted to the AKC to transfer legal ownership of the puppy from vom Heinolf into the buyers name, if ownership has been transferred from the buyer to another individual or if this puppy has been bred prior to OFA certification.
The buyer, not vom Heinolf, is responsible for all veterinarian bills, the costs associated with the return of a puppy and/or the replacement of a puppy.
Buyer agrees to the terms:______________ (initial)
3. Shipping Agreement
Shipping is always in addition to the cost of the puppy and is the responsibility of the buyer. We ship puppies with Delta airlines from the airport in Springfield, MO. When shipping a puppy vom Heinolf and the buyer agree to the following terms: buyer assumes all risks and expenses of shipping which includes a crate, airfare, health certificate and money for our time/fuel. We are in no way responsible for loss, death, or injury during transport to the new home. Buyer will need to settle any disputes, should they arise, with the airlines NOT vom Heinolf.
