Puppy Contract

1. Your new puppy has been bred and reared with the utmost love and care to every detail.

2. The puppy is believed to be in good health but you are strongly advised to take it to your veterinary surgeon for a general health check within four days of purchase. This check and any tests or examinations associated with it must be at your expense.

3. If your veterinary surgeon finds any problem which, in their opinion, renders the puppy unfit for sale, I will take the puppy back and refund the full purchase price on condition that the puppy is returned within five days of purchase with a veterinary report and, is in the same state of health as when it was sold. Before purchase, you should consider the puppy as a living thing which will become a much loved member of the family in a very short time, and this may effect what you wish to do if return of the puppy becomes necessary. After drawing your attention to this possibility, I cannot be held responsible for any distress caused to you and your family by return of the puppy.

4. Before purchase, I recommend that you consult your veterinary surgeon about this breed and any possible diseases, genetic or otherwise, to which it is prone, and you accept that I, the breeder, can not be held responsible if such a disease develops later in life; after a satisfactory preliminary examination by your veterinary surgeon.

5. You confirm that you will properly house, feed, water and exercise the dog and will arrange for appropriate veterinary attention if required. You will ensure he/she receives a vaccination and worming programme as recommended by your vet. You will not allow it allow it to roam at large or cause it to be a nuisance to your neighbours and when away from home ensure the dog wears a tagged collar with contact details on and shall be kept leashed or under effective control.

6. Should your circumstances change in the future and you become unable to keep the Labrador, you agree to refer immediately to me, the breeder. I am committed to help re-home the dog for whatever reason throughout her/his lifetime.

7. We would like to point out we place two endorsements on your puppies Kennel Club registration certificate. This is to protect the future of this breed. The endorsement will be lifted on the understanding that should you decide to mate your dog/bitch it has had his/her eyes screened and carries an up-to-date certificate. Also that the elbows and hips have been x-rayed and scored by the B.V.A. (British Veterinary Association).
