Use of the Dog: It is agreed between Breeder and Purchaser that this dog is being acquired as a family companion dog or as a working dog to be used for tasks appropriate to its breed such as therapy dog, service dog, or for exhibition in obedience or agility competition. We agree that the dog is not purchased for resale, as a Breeder Dog, nor will it be used or trained for activities which are illegal or for which it is not suited by reason of temperament or conformation.

Health: The Breeder warrants the dog to be in good health and treated for parasites as of the time of sale. Breeder warrants that the sire and dam's hips and/or elbows have been evaluated by either The University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program (PennHIP) or the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) in the United States or by the Appropriate Certifying Body in "Country of Origin". The eyes of all sires and dams have been examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist for any potentially heritable eye disorders. DNA disorders have been screened. In the event of emergence of any genetic disorders inclusive of during the first two years, inclusive of: PRA-PRCD, EIC, Elbow or Hip Dysplasia, or Heart Defects, any of which will greatly diminish the quality of life of dog, as diagnosed by two qualified veterinarians, one of whom is selected by Breeder, the breeder agrees to one of the following:

• Replace the dog with one of equivalent quality from the first litter bred by the Breeder; OR  

• Refund veterinary expenses up to 100% of the original purchase price.

Buyer(s) understands that Dog cannot be guaranteed against all life’s disorders, as not all disorders may be genetic in nature. However we do our best to ensure that your puppy will live a long healthy life by safeguarding that all parent dogs have been health screened to secure the most favorable outcomes.

Purchaser should have the dog seen by a Veterinarian of purchaser's choice within 72 hours of receipt of the dog, or by the time next round of shots are due as indicated by Breeder, or at sign of ANY illness. Said dog may be returned to the breeder for any reason within the 72 hours following purchase. Provided that the dog has not been damaged in any way, the purchaser will then be entitled to a refund of the original purchase price less the non-refundable deposit, and any shipping charges incurred. We cannot guarantee the eventual weight or overall size of dog or changes in coat color and texture, but will represent puppy to the best of our ability. We do everything in our power and above and beyond at ASD to ensure that you receive a healthy puppy. However, parasites such as Giardia, Coccidia, and/or other ailments are not uncommon and can even be contracted during or after transfer. They are easily treated with appropriate medication from a vet, and therefore cannot be compensated or guaranteed. Ownership Responsibilities
