SALES AGREEMENT LUV-D PUGs


Cyndi Daiello, Breeder of AKC show and pet PUGS 714-779-7729 www.luvdpugs.net


The following agreement is between Cyndi Daiello, Breeder-Seller, and

_______________________________________________________Purchaser.

The Seller transfers in fee of $___________ all rights, privileges and responsibilities associated with the ownership of the male / fem dog of the Pug breed to Purchaser as of the date specified below. Signed AKC puppy registration papers are also given. Limited registration will be given if sold for a pet/companion pug and must be altered.
This puppy is guaranteed for one year against fatal and severe life altering congenital disease which adversely affects the health of the animal. This includes severe hip dysplasia and/or luxating patellas, which hampers the movement of the dog and natural gait and requires surgery to correct, kidney, heart, pancreas, spine, and liver problems of a severe, life threatening or altering nature. (Pug must not be grossly overweight for this guarantee to be in effect.) If the dog dies within this one year time frame, the buyer will pay to have it autopsied to ascertain reason.
If reason is proven to be congenital, the Seller will replace the puppy.
* This guarantee does not cover disorders which may occur in the pug breed and are not considered life altering nor serious: including but not limited to: entropion, skin allergies, elongated soft palate, and stenotic nares (collapsed nostrils).
This guarantee does not cover umbilical hernias,which are easily correctable and often resolve on their own around six months of age.

Any of these conditions must be determined by two qualified veterinarians with the vet’s findings and the bill, then produce the dog at a vet of breeder’s choice within 5 days of your vet’s findings. These options are available:


You will have the option to request a replacement puppy as soon as one is available,

Or
a full refund, upon the safe return of this puppy back to the breeder. (transportation is at owners expense and vet visit breeders expense.)

If you are already bonded and decide to keep this puppy, you would receive one half of the agreed upon original purchase price when proof of spay or neuter has been submitted and verified to breeder.
You have 30 days to choose an option and complete the requirements, unless the vet states that the dogs health would be jeapordized with a spay/neuter. Spaying or neutering must be completed within one week of the vet’s statement releasing the dog stating the dog is healthy enough for the spay or neuter.


A statement, signed by the breeder at the time of sale, that this dog has been vet checked on ____________.

(i) The dog has no known disease or illness.

(ii) The dog has no known congenital or hereditary condition that adversely affects the health of the dog at the time of the sale orthat is likely to adversely affect the health of the dog in the future.

_______________________________________________________________


Show pups are sold with full registration rights with the AKC.

Since show success can be hard to predict, warranties regarding show prospects can be tricky. As future development cannot be guaranteed, show quality can be quite subjective, and environment plays a hefty role.


Breeder does not guarantee pug will complete or finish his or her AKC, UK, or Canadian conformation, or be a breedable bitch due to environmental factors such as, illness, injury, vaccine reations, pesticide use, and diet.
I cannot control the environment of the pug after he leaves my home.

 

NOTE:Testicles: If male is sold for breeding or show, it must be stated in the contract.

If 2 testicles have dropped at the well puppy check, this will be noted in contract.

If only 1 has dropped and noted in contract, an exam with Dr Butchko SR. at 15 weeks and no later in age, will be done (payed by purchaser) and rechecks per his advice thereafter. Massaging, tacking down testicle and hormone shots are sometimes done at different stages of development. If this is not done, there is little hope of the testicle dropping.You must advise me of each testicle check or this guarantee is nullified.

 If the testicle does not drop by 10 months old, with all exams beginning at 15 weeks age of pup(no later than 15 weeks) with treatments and rechecks, I will refund your pug to 1/2 of the purchase price you paid with proof of neutering and you keep your pug.
This is a one year guarantee ONLY.

If your pug was sold as a pet and you did not mention you were using him for breeding,
I do not guarantee 2 testicles. As a pet in the contract and the AKC, he would be neutered because you did not intend on using him as stud.

I require the new owners to have the dog examined by their veterinarian within 72 hours. If a health issue is found, I am to be called by the owner and the veterinarian. I will take the dog back, treat it, and return it in a well condition, or return their money and keep the puppy.

This ensures that all parties know that the puppy was healthy at the time of transfer. It also ensures that the veterinarian recognizes some typical breed features as normal, rather than abnormal or unhealthy.

__________________________________________

We will hold a puppy for you until it is ready to leave. Just be sure, because deposits are NOT refundable. By taking your deposit, we are turning away all other buyers. A puppy is AVAILABLE to all potential buyers unless a deposit has been taken. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUND ANY DEPOSIT TAKEN IF WE FEEL IT IS NOT THE RIGHT HOME FOR THE PUPPY.

LAST NOTE, I REQUIRE CASH OR POSTAL MONEY ORDER BEFORE YOU PICK UP YOUR PUP. I HAVE HAD A FEW PEOPLE GIVE ME BAD CHECKS OR BOUNCED. THIS POSES PROBLEMS FOR ME AS WELL, AND CAN BE AGGREVATING. BUT, THE DEPOSIT CAN BE A CHECK.

SECTION 122045-122110

"A STATEMENT OF CALIFORNIA LAW GOVERNING THE SALE OF DOGS

122100. Every breeder that sells a dog shall provide the purchaser at the time of sale, and a prospective purchaser upon request, with a written notice of rights, setting forth the rights provided for under this section. The notice shall be contained in a separate document. The written notice of rights shall be in 10-point type. A copy of the written notice of rights shall be signed by the purchaser acknowledging that he or she has reviewed the notice. The notice shall state the following:

"A STATEMENT OF CALIFORNIA LAW GOVERNING THE SALE OF DOGS The sale of dogs is subject to consumer protection regulation. In the event that a California licensed veterinarian states in writing that your dog is unfit for purchase because it became ill due to an illness or disease that existed within 15 days following delivery to you, or within one year in the case of congenital or hereditary condition, you may choose one of the following: (1) Return your dog and receive a refund of the purchase price, plus sales tax, and receive reimbursement for reasonable veterinarian fees up to the cost of the dog, plus sales tax. (2) Return your dog and receive a dog of your choice of equivalent value, providing a replacement dog is available, and receive reimbursement for reasonable veterinarian fees up to the cost of the dog, plus sales tax. (3) Keep the dog and receive reimbursement for reasonable veterinarian fees up to 150 percent of the original purchase price of the dog plus sales tax on the original purchase price of the dog. In the event your dog dies, you may receive a refund for the purchase price of the dog, plus sales tax, or a replacement dog of your choice, of equivalent value, and reimbursement for reasonable veterinary fees for the diagnosis and treatment of the dog, if a veterinarian, licensed in this state, states in writing that the dog has died due to an illness or disease that existed within 15 days after the purchaser obtained physical possession of the dog after the sale by a dog breeder, or states that the dog has died due to a congenital or hereditary condition that was diagnosed by the veterinarian within one year after the purchaser obtained physical possession of the dog after the sale by a dog breeder. These fees may not exceed the purchase price of the dog, plus sales tax. In order to exercise these rights, you must notify the dog breeder as quickly as possible but no later than five days after learning from your veterinarian that a problem exists. You must tell the dog breeder about the problem and give the dog breeder the name and telephone number of the veterinarian providing the diagnosis. If you are making a claim, you must also present to the dog breeder a written veterinary statement, in a form prescribed by law, that the animal is unfit for purchase and an itemized statement of all veterinary fees related to the claim. This information must be presented to the dog breeder no later than five days after you have received the written statement from the veterinarian. In the event that the dog breeder wishes to contest the statement or the veterinarian's bill, the dog breeder may request that you produce the dog for examination by a licensed veterinarian of the dog breeder's choice. The dog breeder shall pay the cost of this examination. In the event of death, the deceased dog need not be returned to the dog breeder if you submit a statement issued by a licensed veterinarian stating the cause of death. If the parties cannot resolve the claim within 10 business days following receipt of the veterinarian statement or the examination by the dog breeder's veterinarian, whichever event occurs later, you may file an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute. If a party acts in bad faith, the other party may collect reasonable attorney's fees. If the dog breeder does not contest the matter, the dog breeder must make the refund or reimbursement no later than 10 business days after receiving the veterinary certification. This statement is a summary of key provisions of the consumer remedies available. California law also provides safeguards to protect dog breeders from abuse. If you have questions, obtain a copy of the complete relevant statutes. This notice shall be contained in a separate document. The written notice shall be in 10-point type. The notice shall be signed by the purchaser acknowledging that he or she has reviewed the notice. The dog breeder shall permit persons to review the written notice upon request. NOTE: This disclosure of rights is a summary of California law. The actual statutes are contained in Article 1 (commencing with Section 122045) of Chapter 5 of Part 6 of Division 105 of the Health and Safety Code."

This contract is used if
Breeder has 3 litters a year or 20 puppies sold as a hobby breeder.

(note: I have had one litter in the past 2 years.)

NOTES

:
I recommend  altering after one year of age due to anesthesia risks at a young age.

NEVER use ACE and tell your vet this and have it written in your dogs chart.  Dr Butchko will never use ACE on your pug, so get him altered at his office. Call ahead and see what days he does neutering. He will be the cheapest in the area.

My Oath and Promise:
I require the owner to contact the breeder, me, first should the owner ever decide to give up the dog, for any reason. In some cases the dog will be returned to the breeder,me; in others, the breeder will use their resources to help find a new home for the dog.

I WILL ALWAYS TAKE MY PUGS BACK.

I WILL ALWAYS TAKE MY PUGS BACK.

I WILL ALWAYS TAKE MY PUGS BACK.

I WILL ALWAYS TAKE MY PUGS BACK.

_____________________________________________________________

BITCH OWNER

If you decide to breed your bitch to a stud, be very careful to read the contract you get from the stud owner before you get her bred!.   Remember, the stud owner cannot tell you what to do with your bitch after the pups are born.Get your AKC litter registration signed at the time of breeding from the sire owner.

Get a free rebreeding if your bitch does not get pregnant. Have this written in the contract and the stud owner sign it.

The puppies are yours to show or sell with full or limited registration.

You decide, not the sire owner. 

The AKC states this also.

Finding a handler:

BEWARE: Is she a professional handler???
From the AKC:

A professional handler is a person who shows dogs for a fee. These are individuals who have chosen to provide their services; however, their experience and knowledge may vary considerably. You should expect that a worthy handler has spent many years learning the care, conditioning, training, and proper breed presentation of the breeds they show. Before choosing a handler, ask about his or her experience with your breed. Some handlers are good at showing many breeds, while others only specialize in particular breeds or groups.

PET PUPPIES  AND SHOW BREEDERS
CLICK ON THIS LINK PLEASE

Responsible breeders...

* Do not sell their pups to or through pet stores. Instead, they personally screen and select homes for their puppies, advise people on caring for the breed, turn away people whose lifestyle, commitment or home situation does not fit the breed, test for and guarantee the health and temperament of their puppies, have detailed documentation of their pups' lineage, demonstrate knowledge about canine health, genetics, socialization and development, and take back their animals at any time and age if the buyers cannot keep them.

* Do not sell multiple breeds of dogs, since they specialize in one or two breeds.

* Demonstrate extensive knowledge of the breed's history, traits, temperament, and conformation. They have years of experience with the breed.

* Are involved in the showing of purebred dogs. This can take the form of respected dog shows, locally and nationally, and competitions involving obedience trials, sport and athletics. Show and performance events enable responsible breeders to ensure that their dogs display the desired physical and behavioral traits desired for the particular breed. Every litter of show puppies has some dogs that will never compete in the show ring, often because they have physical traits that do not totally conform to exacting breed standards. However, these pups have been raised with as much planning, medical attention and socialization as their show-quality littermates and make wonderful pets. While ranked dogs are a plus, rank itself is not a sole indicator of quality. It is desirable for the parent dogs to have earned titles on both ends of the dogs' names (Ch. and CGC/TT/TDI at the other end). Note: AKC registry alone does not guarantee a healthy dog or even one that conforms to breed standards. AKC staff do not visit breeders to view the pups; registration is typically done through mail and involves the honor system.

* Keep their dogs as house pets, so they know that the offspring will be good pets as well.

* Value their reputation for seeking to improve the breed. They do not sell pups as a for-profit business. Indeed, many reputable breeders lose money, since breeding and caring for puppies in a responsible, quality-focused manner is typically expensive. They breed only dogs that are themselves good pets and fine representatives of their breed.

* Evaluate the health of their pups using sound, standardized genetic and other testing recommended for the individual breed. Tests include OFA (hip x-ray certification), CERF (Canine Eye Registry Foundation), Penn-Hip (hip joint laxity), SAS (subaortic stenosis, a heart defect common to some popular breeds), thyroid and other measures. They also test dogs for sexually transmitted diseases, like Brucellosis, prior to breeding a litter. Thorough genetic screening enables responsible breeders to minimize their chances of producing a health-compromised puppy.

* Provide full, lifetime written guarantees covering genetic disease and temperament problems.

* Take back the dog at any point in his or her life for whatever reason the purchaser no longer wants or can care for the animal.

* Place all pet quality animals with a contract requiring the purchaser to spay/neuter the pup.

* Provide advice and guidance to purchasers. Interview and usually visit the homes of prospective puppy purchasers, placing pups only with people who demonstrate they can provide safe, responsible homes.

* Has at least the mother dog on premises and let prospective purchasers observe the dog and her health and behavior. Responsible breeders breed their female dog to the best male, not the most convenient one.

* Breed only dogs over 2 years old, and breeds the dog only a limited number of times; not every year

* Line up qualified buyers in advance of birth of a litter and rarely ever advertise.

* Do not separate a pup from the mother and litter before 8 weeks of age. Also deworm and vaccinate their puppies.

* Can provide references for happy puppy buyers.

Pet Shop Problems

Regardless of staff claims that they buy from from reputable breeders, nearly every puppy in pet shops comes from a large-scale commercial breeding operation, also known as a puppy mill.

The Code of Ethics of AKC affiliated Breed Clubs discourages members from selling puppies to pet shops. Any breeder who sells to pet stores is not an ethical breeder, since good breeders want to personally interview and educate prospective owners of their carefully bred puppies. As documented by the Companion Animal Protection Society, breed rescues and humane organizations nationwide:

* Pet shops typically buy from brokers who get animals from puppy mills, which are commercial breeding establishments that mass produce dogs for resale. Many puppy mills and brokers are based in the Midwestern U.S. and Pennsylvania, but they are located across the country.

* Puppy mills and pet shops often do not properly socialize their puppies. Many pet shop puppies lack fresh air, exercise, play, and sufficient positive human contact, which help a puppy become well-adjusted.

* Unsound breeding practices can predispose dogs to hereditary afflictions like hip dysplasia, dislocating kneecaps, eye problems, and aggression, as well as genetic conditions such as liver and heart diseases, autoimmune disorders, and seizures.

* Pet shops usually do not provide full information on genetic disorders prevalent in certain breeds, or copies of documents such as Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) on the hips of both parents and the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) on the eyes of both parents.

* Pet store pups and animals from backyard breeders typically are not tested for genetic disease and are not adequately protected from illnesses such as parvo, as documented in news reports and in Animal Court cases. Thus, countless families have endured the heartbreak of seeing their pet store pups eventually become crippled by hip dysplasia, lose their sight due to progressive retinal atrophy, lose their hearing due to congenital deafness, die of cardiomyopathy or suffer from many other breeding-linked disorders from allergies to patellar luxation.

* Pet shop puppies can be prone to parvovirus and distemper. For example, parvovirus symptoms are not immediately detectable, so a puppy with parvo may share a cage with a healthy puppy. Symptoms may not appear for several weeks, and by then the puppy might be in a new home.

* Pet shop puppies typically come into contact with numerous animals at puppy mills and brokers' holding facilities, during transportation, and at pet shops, often exposing them to illnesses and parasites. Transportation stress can make them more susceptible to disease.

* Puppies can also be exposed to disease, infections and parasites at the pet shop/kennel.

* AKC registration does not guarantee proper breeding conditions, health, quality or claims to lineage. AKC staff do not visit all breeders and facilities; instead, registration is done primarily through mailed forms.

* State licensing and USDA approval does not mean good conditions, merely minimum business requirements.

* A number of the trucks used by commercial breeders to transport their live "merchandise" have been caught transporting puppies in inhumane conditions, as revealed in local newspaper stories this year and in past year.

* Pet shops do not typically screen buyers. Impulse buyers may not have prepared sufficiently or have a suitable environment for a puppy. Pet shops do not take back and rehome dogs from customers who later realize they cannot or do not want to keep the dog for life.

In conclusion:

Encourage people to adopt from a local shelter, humane society or rescue organization. Remember, shelters have many purebred dogs. For those set on buying a registered purebred, visit a breed rescue group or ethical breeder -- never a pet shop, commercial kennel or backyard breeder.

BACKYARD BREEDERS ARE -

**Anyone who has a litter for fun, profit or by ‘accident’.
**Anyone who is so uninformed that they think having AKC papers means that their pet is breeding quality.  REDICULOUS!!                     
**Anyone who advertises their litters in the local paper for sale.  (respected breeders only advertise in            trade magazines)
**Anyone who thinks that by finding their puppies good homes that they somehow don’t have to play by          the rules or take responsibility.  MANY WILL STILL ULTIMATELY END UP IN THE POUND AFTER YEARS OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT!!!
**Anyone who thinks they found their litter good homes, simply because everyone that took one, smiled          honestly and ‘promised’ to treat them well..  Thus insisting on no background check, no enforceable  contract or any type of follow up. A PERFECT RECIPE FOR A SAD LIFE FOR THE POOR PUPPY.
**People  will provide erroneous information to the potential adopters regarding the required care and treatment necessary for the pet - simply for their own personal gains and claim to know much more than they really do for ego boosts.
**Respectable breeders will have walls adorned with trophies and certificates which represent the numerous championships they’ve acquired over the years.
