SECTION 3: HEALTH & WELFARE
The Breeder has taken every care with breeding, rearing and the welfare of the Dog. The Dog is believed to be in good health and it is sold in good faith. The Breeder makes no warranty however as to the health or disposition of the Dog.
The Puppy has been checked by a Veterinary Surgeon prior to sale. Although no warranty can be given on the future health of the puppy, the outcome of that check has been passed onto the purchaser together with the details of the veterinary surgeon who carried it out. I give consent for the purchaser to contact the veterinary surgeon to discuss any aspect of the puppy’s health, and give consent for my Veterinary Surgeon to discuss this with the purchaser. The Breeder’s Veterinary Surgeon’s details are as follows:
SECTION 4: PURCHASER’S RIGHT TO RETURN THE DOG IN THE CASE OF A DEFECT
The Purchaser(s) shall have 5 working days to have the Dog examined by a practising veterinary surgeon and shall have the right during a period not exceeding 3 days after such examination to return the Dog because of a defect (other than described below) on production of a written report from the said veterinary surgeon, at which time the Purchaser(s) will be refunded the full purchase price.
Where appropriate, add: The Purchaser hereby acknowledge that the Breeder has disclosed the following faults or defects in the Dog: None.
Should it become necessary, the Purchaser(s) should be aware that the return of a Dog can be very difficult, especially emotionally and, having drawn the attention of the Purchaser(s) to this, the Breeder cannot be held responsible for any distress caused by the return of the Dog.
SECTION 5: POTENTIAL OF DOG
Although any description of the Dog as being of show, working or other quality is given in good faith, it is a condition of this sale that no warranty can be given as to the ultimate show / working / field trial or breeding potential on maturity of the Dog.
The breeder takes no responsibility in any faults of the dog's future behaviour from incorrect upbringing/training.
SECTION 6: NEW OWNER OBLIGATIONS
It is the new owner's responsibility to transfer the microchip ownership of the dog. It is also the new owner's responsibility to upkeep the dog in good condition by providing the necessary exercise and nutrition.
The new owner is informed and understands that professional quality training of the dog is necessary, as well as continued socialisation for the dog.
SECTION 7: REHOMING
The Purchaser(s) agree that if, at any stage in the Dog's life, the Purchaser(s) need to rehome the Dog, the Breeder will be the first to be informed and the Purchaser(s) will, if the Breeder requests, return the Dog to the Breeder with no refunds. The Breeder will offer every reasonable assistance to find a new home.
SECTION 8: ENDORSEMENTS
Under Kennel Club regulations, there are two endorsements that may be placed on a dog's record, by the registered owner of a dog, whilst the dog in question is still in their possession. A breeder, therefore, is entitled to place two endorsements on a puppy's record with the Kennel Club: One restricts registration of any of its future offspring (progeny) and the other prevents the issue of an export pedigree.
This Dog is subject to the following Kennel Club endorsements: R = Progeny not eligible for registration
Endorsements can only be lifted by the person who placed them, and that person would need to send a written & signed instruction to this effect to the Kennel Club. [If the Dog's record has endorsement R (progeny not eligible for registration) placed on it include here an explanation of the conditions, if any, that would need to be met for endorsements to be lifted e.g. minimum age of bitch, proof of health scheme results etc.]
