The

check #______. Deposit shall be

Show
potential puppies will be sold on full registration. Pet puppies will be sold on limited
registration. If not
available at the time of purchase, AKC registration papers shall be forwarded
to the Buyer as quickly as possible after payment in full has been made to the Breeder.
HEALTH GUARANTEE
The
Breeder guarantees the puppy to be in good health and free from parasites at
the time of purchase. In the case of a
male puppy, the Breeder also guarantees that there are two (2) descended
testicles present.
The
Buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian within five (5)
working days of taking possession of the puppy.
If the Buyer’s veterinarian finds that the puppy is unhealthy, unsound,
or possesses a congenital defect, the Buyer may return the puppy to the Breeder
immediately (within three (3) days) with a certificate from the veterinarian
stating the condition. The Breeder
reserves the right to confirm stated condition by taking the puppy to a
veterinarian of the Breeder’s choosing, expenses to be paid for by the Breeder. Upon confirmation of stated condition, the
puppy will be titled back to the Breeder and the Breeder will refund the full
purchase price of the puppy, or the Buyer may choose a puppy of equal quality
from the remaining litter.
If
the veterinarian chosen by the Breeder finds nothing to confirm the stated
condition, the Buyer may still return the puppy to the Breeder, but will
receive no compensations. All moneys
paid to the Breeder will be forfeited and the puppy will be titled back to the
Breeder. If the Buyer chooses to keep the puppy, the
Breeder will not be responsible for any veterinary costs incurred.
The
Buyer is hereby granted a guarantee against serious congenital or proven genetic
defects until the dog reaches twenty four (24) months of age. Should the puppy develop any condition before
the second birthday, the Buyer must provide a veterinarian’s certificate,
x-rays, and full medical history to a veterinarian of the Breeder’s
choosing. The Breeder reserves the right
to have the puppy re-evaluated and/or have diagnostic testing done, expenses to
be paid for by the Buyer.
If
it is conclusive that the congenital or genetic defect is in fact a hereditary
condition that was not contributed to through the Buyer's care and environment,
and that this condition could not have been avoided, the Buyer is entitled to:
1.
Keep
the puppy. Upon proof that the dog has
been spayed/neutered, the Breeder will proved a replacement puppy, of equal
quality, upon first availability, at a cost of ½ the purchase price of the
original puppy.
Or,
2.
Keep
the puppy. Upon proof that the dog has
been spayed/neutered, the Breeder will provide a refund in the amount of ½ the
purchase price of the puppy.
The
Breeder will not be responsible for any veterinary costs incurred during the
lifetime of the puppy.
This guarantee is null and void if calcium supplementation has been given, or
the puppy is fed puppy food beyond the age of eight (8) weeks.
As
subluxation, OCD, and HOD can be the results of poor nutrition, improper
exercise and/or excessive crating, no guarantee shall apply for these
conditions. It is the Breeder’s opinion
that unilateral dysplasia is non-genetic and of injury or nutritional origin,
and as such are not guaranteed against.
The Breeder reserves the right to not guarantee hips if evidence of
atrophy due to torn cruciate or meniscus ligaments of the knee joint are
present. Thyroid disease is often the
result of improper nutrition; therefore, the Breeder reserves the right to not guarantee
this condition. Heartworm related
cardiac disease is brought on by neglect to properly care for the Mastiff and no
guarantee shall apply for this condition.
In male puppies, cryptorchidism can occur
spontaneously, even when two (2) descended testicles were previously
present. Therefore, cryptorchidism
is not guaranteed after the Buyer takes possession of the puppy.

*
The Breeder's kennel name, Oso Bodacious, will be the prefix to the AKC
registered name of the puppy. It is the
Buyer's responsibility to register the puppy with the AKC within 6 months of

any offspring produced by this dog, shall ever be registered with any other
canine registry other then the American Kennel Club (AKC) or the Canadian
Kennel Club (CKC).
* Contact information shall always be kept up to date. The Breeder and the Buyer will notify each

*
The Buyer agrees to abide by the Mastiff Club of America (MCOA) Code of Ethics
(copy provided).
*
The Buyer agrees to demonstrate good will and sportsmanship at all events the
puppy engages in.
*
The Buyer agrees that, if the dog is to be bred, they will first have the dog
tested, at a minimum, for hip and elbow dysplasia, and cystinuria. The Buyer agrees to share all results with

*
The Buyer shall never breed this Mastiff to any other than a respectable
specimen of the breed, always keeping in mind the betterment of the breed,

broker, or pet shop puppy provider. Nor will
this dog be used for the purpose of producing puppies for the same. This dog shall not be bred for the purpose of
producing stock for laboratory experimentation.
*
It shall be the Buyer’s responsibility to check the reputability of the stud/bitch
owner before a breeding takes place. Should
questions arise as to the reputability of the stud/bitch owner; the Buyer will
not breed this Mastiff to that stud/bitch.
* In the case of a male puppy, the Buyer agrees to grant breeding rights, free
of charge, to one bitch per year, owned or co-owned by the Breeder. The Breeder will be responsible for any and
all costs associated with the breeding (i.e. veterinarian charges for sperm
evaluations and collection, teaser bitch, and shipping of the sperm).
*
The Breeder will provide a five generation pedigree and medical history from
birth to date of the Buyer’s possession of the puppy.
*
If the puppy is purchased as a pet, with a limited registration, it is
recommended that the Buyer spay/neuter the puppy as soon as the puppy reaches an
appropriate age to do so. This is the
best way to prevent an accidental breeding.
*
It is highly recommended that you crate train your puppy. Crates are not to be considered cages, but
rather safe zones, and a place where your puppy may go for quiet time. There are many ways your puppy can be injured
or made sick in your home. Crate
training keeps your puppy safe from the myriad of dangers when you cannot
supervise him/her. Crate training makes
house breaking easier and should crating become necessary due to injury or
illness, your puppy will already be comfortable with his/her crate.
Bone
ailments can be a result of poor nutrition, over feeding, over supplementing,
and/or excessive over exercising. PLEASE, remember that a Mastiff puppy
grows very quickly and carries a lot of weight while very young. Your
puppy may look like an adult but it is a puppy and needs puppy care.
While your puppy does need to stretch his/her legs, it does not take much to
tire him/her out. Do not take your puppy jogging, hiking or for long
walks. Do not make him/her climb steps
unaided until they are six (6) months old.
Exercise
should be slow and minimal until he/she is eighteen (18) months old. Jumping places a great deal of stress on your
puppy’s joints. Do not force your puppy
to do repetitive jumping (i.e. training for obedience titles) until he/she is eighteen
(18) months old.
Always
supervise your puppy when playing with other dogs. Even though your puppy
may seem large, his/her bones and joints are very young and developing.
Most structural damage is done within the first eighteen (18) months of a
puppy's life. It is much better to play with a squeaky toy or tug rope
then getting overly rough.
Always
choose a toy that is large enough; even a young Mastiff has a mouth and throat
large enough to swallow most small toys and bones.
These
are large dogs and it is important not to just look at the PUPPY you have today
but at the DOG he/she will be when full grown. NEVER teach your puppy to
do anything you would not want him/her to do as a 200lb adult!
Training
is important and it is highly recommended that your puppy be taken to a puppy
kindergarten or puppy obedience class for proper training and socialization.
Provide
a fenced or partial-fenced yard for your puppy; or always keep your puppy
leashed when outside of your home. Your Mastiff must NOT be allowed to
roam at large.
Your
Mastiff must travel in an enclosed vehicle and not be permitted to travel in an
open-bed vehicle.
The
Buyer agrees and understands that if any conditions herein are not completed as
set forth, the Breeder has the right to repossess the puppy and the Buyer shall
not be entitled to any refund of any monies paid to the Breeder pursuant to the
agreement contained herein. Under such circumstances,
the Buyer agrees to relinquish any interest in the puppy, and to execute the
AKC registration certificate to the sole ownership of the Breeder. The Buyer agrees that in the event litigation
in a court of law becomes necessary, the Breeder may request damages in
addition to the value of the puppy, attorney’s fees, and cost incurred. Any litigation shall be in the
The
Breeder and the Buyer, by affixing their names here, on this date ____________________
do agree to abide by any and all terms of this contract, or be in breach of
contract and incur all legal consequences.
