Holding Fee and Payment Agreement: The holding fee is $500.00 and non-refundable, however, if you change your mind after holding fee has been made, those fees will be transferred towards a future pup for one year from original holding fee date.  You are not guaranteed a future pup for the same price of current agreement.  The remaining balance may be paid at time of pick-up, approximately 10 weeks of age, however, balance must be paid in full by the age of 11 weeks.  Breeder reserved the right to cancel sale and contract if an unpaid balance remains at the age of 11 weeks.

Unless prior arrangements are made, an extended stay fee of $15.00/day will be added to the purchase price for any pup still remaining in breeder's care at the age of 12 weeks.  Breeders reserves the right to cancel sale and void contract if pup remains in the breeder's care at the age of 13 weeks.  Any money, less non-refundable holding fee and extended stay fees (if applicable), will be returned to the buyer.

Purchase price for ____________, M/F $2500.00, from the litter of ______________ and ______________, DOB: __________ is $2500.00, without breeding rights.  Holding fee amount $__________ via __________.  The wording, "non refundable holding fee" must also be listed in the memo section.  Any questions or if more info is needed, let me know before you make holding fee.  This written contract overrides any previous verbal agreements.

*The purchase price is to be paid in full prior to the puppy leaving me, the Seller/Breeder. *Payment in the form of cash or cashier’s check is acceptable.  However, if paying with a personal check, the check must clear my bank prior to the puppy leaving my possession.

Health Guarantee:

To the best of the breeder's knowledge and belief, this puppy is in good health, free from symptoms of contagious and infectious diseases at the time of sale.  If the buyer believes this puppy to be sick, the animal should be taken to a veterinarian of the buyer's choice.  Breeder is not responsible for any medical bills once the puppy is in buyer's care.  A one year after sale replacement puppy is given for any major organ failure caused by a genetic disease.  This guarantee also covers genetic or congenital bone disease (such as hips and knees).  Luxating patellas must be a Grade 3 or above and must be diagnosed with x-rays by an orthopedic veterinarian.  A notarized veterinarian report with findings stating, to a medical certainty that the condition was in fact caused from the hereditary state will be required.  If the puppy expires from the condition a full autopsy will be required and results must be sent to sellers veterinarian.  Buyers will be required to send the notarized vet's report by certified mail along with all of the puppy's medical records, breeder's veterinarian must confirm and agree with the diagnosis.  The breeder will then offer buyer a replacement puppy of equal value or lesser value from an upcoming litter.  Replacement guarantee will be terminated if puppy was found to be abused, neglected, or does not have up to date records of vaccinations, heart worm prevention and fecal records.

As of the date of delivery, the puppy has received proper vaccinations and regular de-wormer treatments.  Veterinarians are now suggesting new owners vaccinate their puppy with the Leptospirosis vaccination.  This vaccination's side effects and adverse reactions outweigh the treatment.  This guarantee will be voided if your veterinarian administers the Lepto vaccination before the pup reaches the age of 1 year, the length of this contract.  Buyer has been informed of this.  This guarantee does not cover disease for which vaccinations could prevent.  Puppy needs to be seen by a veterinarian within 72 business hours of receipt for warranty to be valid.  Documentation will need to be provided.  This guarantee does not cover treatment of coccidia, giardia and kennel cough which is usually caused by bacteria and is common in puppies that are shipped or transitioning to a new home which is stressful on their systems.  Kennel cough is self-limiting and like the common cold must run its course.  Full recovery is expected and on its own kennel cough is not life-threatening.  This guarantee does not cover what in the Shih-Tzu breed is considered normal due to being a bradycephalic breed:  cherry eye, stenotic nares, dental procedures including under bite and over bite, dental issues such as crooked teeth which is common, tear stains, eyes problems such as dry eye, ear infections, umbilical hernia and inguinal hernias, etc.  Dew claws are removed at the age of 3-4 days.  In some rare cases, dew claws have been known to regrow, this guarantee does not cover the regrowth of dew claws.

The size of the puppy will grow to, as an adult, is only an estimate based on breeder's experience and trait's recognition.  No guarantees are made as to adult size.  The breeder does not guarantee the color of said dog.  Because the breed is normally double-coated, their color may become lighter or darker as they age and grow, and will most always be lighter if the dog is shaved down, as the undercoat is lighter.  Pups being sold as pets will only be listed as limited registration meaning spay/neuter is to be done when pup reaches correct age based on when your veterinarian will perform said procedure.  Buyer agrees NOT to breed said puppy until she has reached the minimum age of 14 months, if full AKC rights have been given by the breeder.  AKC papers and health guarantee are non-transferable.  Buyer will notify breeder before placing pup in a new home.  At no time, do I want my pups ever surrended to a shelter or rescue.  I will gladly accept the return of one of my pups, at any age, at no cost to me.

Thank you for providing ________________ a wonderful new forever home.

If the Buyer(s) continue to keep the above listed puppy on my (the Breeder) recommendation of NuVet vitamins and purchase the NuVet vitamins through the Breeders NuVet access, the Breeder then extends the health guarantee from 1 year to a 2 year guarantee.

Note: Buyer understands that until the puppy reaches about 16 weeks of age and has completed its series of inoculations, it should not be exposed to areas highly tracked by animals outside the home. Any evidence of neglect or abuse of this puppy shall void the guarantee in its entirety and the dog must be returned with no financial restitution.
