WHEREAS, _______________________________________, hereinafter called "Buyer", is desirous of purchasing the animal described above:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of nine hundred ($900.00) dollars, the Seller conveys one German Shepherd dog -- bitch to Buyer under the following warranties and conditions and no other warranties or conditions either expressed or implied.

1. That the above described animal is a purebred dog registerable with the AKC within 180 days following the date of purchase. In the case of pet quality dogs or bitches which are not to be bred, Seller will hold the papers until receipt of certification of neutering from a veterinarian. In the case of potential breeding prospects, the buyer will be given the registration papers but registration will be limited, meaning that no offspring of this dog may be registered unless the limited registration is officially changed through AKC by the breeder. That will only be done if the dog passes all of the breeder’s required health screenings at age 2 years. Required certifications include OFA hips, OFA elbows, OFA heart, OFA thyroid and CERF. Dog must also be certified von Willebrand’s and hemophilia free and must have some kind of training title (CGC, Therapy Dog certification, BH, CD or equivalent)..

2. That the above described animal may for any reason be returned to Seller within 48 hours of purchase, at Buyer's expense, and Seller will refund to Buyer the full amount of the purchase price. Buyer shall take the dog to his veterinarian for a health check within the 48 hours of purchase, at Buyer's expense. Buyer shall assume full responsibility for the health, anatomical makeup, appearance and temperament of the above described animal following said 48 hour period.

3. The animal described above is guaranteed for good temperament. It is guaranteed to OFA certify at 2 years of age, unless the animal is bred prior to hip certification. A preliminary OFA hip evaluation at 6 months or 1 year of age is strongly urged. Animals sold as breeding quality are guaranteed against disqualifying faults as described in the attached breed standard. In the event of faulty hips or temperament, of failure to work in the specified category, or disqualifying faults in animals sold as breeding quality, the Seller agrees to replace to Buyer another dog of equal purchase value ($900.00), as determined by Seller, and the animal described above shall be returned to Seller at Buyer's expense.

4. The buyer swears that he is not acting as an agent in the purchase of this animal and is not associated with a pet animal broker, and that the above described dog will remain solely in his custody. 

5. Ownership and/or possession of this dog will not be transferred without the written consent of the breeder. The breeder will accept the return of this dog at any time the purchaser decides not to keep the above described dog; however the breeder is not obligated to refund any or all of the purchase price except as stated in #2 above. Buyer has been advised to place this contract with his will or add a clause to said will that the breeder will be notified and the dog returned to breeder if no other arrangements for its care have been specified.

6. Buyer pledges as a very minimum to provide quality food (Canidae is recommended), to complete puppy vaccinations and supply yearly boosters, to keep the above described dog in a secure fenced area with adequate shelter. Buyer also pledges that the dog will be a valued family member with frequent human interaction and socialization. In the event of neglect or abuse of the above described dog, the breeder may repossess the dog without obligation to refund the purchase price. Neglect or abuse may consist of but need not be confined to the following: improper feeding resulting in malnutrition or health problems, inadequate veterinary care, insufficient shelter or inhumane living conditions (chaining, left outside alone all the time, etc.)

7. This writing constitutes the full agreement of the parties.

WHEREFORE, the above named Seller and Buyer have executed the foregoing contract of sale at __________ (a.m./p.m.) on this ______ day of _______, 200_, at _____________ State of ______________.
