~ Puppies that are priced up to $10,000 require a non-refundable deposit of $500- $1,000 to hold your pick. ~ Puppies that are priced over $10,000 require a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 to hold your pick. ~Buyer is fully aware that the deposit is non-refundable. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Deposit must be received within 24 hours from the time a pup is requested to be reserved or the pup will be available to the next buyer in line. Deposit may be sent by Walmart to Walmart, Western Union, PayPal (friends and family option only), bank transfer, Venmo or Facebook Pay. ***Deposit may be sent by Money Order if Buyer provides photo proof of money order with Seller's name on it. Money Order must also be sent by overnight delivery with a tracking number. ~ Remaining balance is due in full by 8 weeks of age OR at the time of pickup/delivery. ~ Shipping fees, if needed, are due at least 14 days prior to said puppy leaving. Hand delivery of your pup to most U.S. locations in the lower 48 states will be $350-$400. For Hawaii, Alaska or locations outside of the U.S. we will need to contact our puppy nanny for a price quote. ~ Buyer understands that if shipping is needed we, the Seller, will make arrangements to fly ourselves or send one of our personal trusted puppy nannies only. We do this to make sure our puppies are cared for properly during travel and delivered safely. Due to several problems with previous puppy nannies hired by our Buyer’s we now strictly enforce this policy. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
***We do not ship our pups by air cargo. Absolutely no exceptions, this is inhumane and we will not risk the life of our babies to ship them cargo! We will hand deliver our pups or use one of our trusted puppy nannies if we are unable to make arrangements to fly at that specific time. ~If the Buyer chooses, they may pick up their pup in person. ~ No puppy will leave the Seller's possession before 8 weeks of age. No exceptions!
~Most puppies will be ready to go at 8 weeks but if we, the Seller, feel it would be in the best interest to keep the puppy here for a few extra weeks we will notify the Buyer as soon as we have made that decision. We prefer not to let puppies under 4 lbs leave until they have at least reached that weight. We also want to make sure our puppies are weaned well enough to eat at least soaked kibble before they leave. We try to keep our pups with mom as long as possible. By doing this sometimes they do not transition onto solid food as fast. Especially if mom is loaded with milk. ~The puppy is to be picked up or delivered by 12 weeks of age. ~If the Buyer is unable to meet for delivery or pickup their pup by 12 weeks of age the Buyer agrees to pay a boarding fee to the Seller in the amount of $10 PER DAY that the puppy remains in the Seller’s possession beyond 12 weeks of age to cover care and expenses of said puppy, for up to 30 days. If the Buyer fails to pay for shipping, meet for delivery, or pickup said puppy after that 30 days of boarding the Buyer agrees to forfeit their deposit and the puppy can then be re-sold by the Seller. UNLESS we, the Seller, are holding the puppy back to make sure it has reached at least 4 lbs and/or is fully weaned and thriving. If this is the case then no boarding fees or forfeit of deposit will be imposed. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
EXCEPTION: Puppies needing transport to most non-US locations cannot be shipped before 16 weeks of age. For puppies being shipped to non-US locations an agreed upon boarding fee will be added to the cost of the puppy. This fee will be based upon length of time the puppy is to be kept, USDA requirements needed for export, and vet expenses.
IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY BOTH PARTIES THAT THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS WILL BE MET AND THAT NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED

One Year Limited Health Guarantee
The word "limited" is included because there are conditions that are very common to the French and English bulldog breeds that are not covered by this guarantee. "Before I committed to being a breeder of French and English bulldogs, I spent years researching and finding out all the information about them that I could and after all of my research I decided I was willing to accept and assume all of the expense and medical risks associated with owning them. I have purchased and owned several that have either not grown into what I prefer to have in my breeding program or they weren't as healthy as I would have liked them to be, to be considered breedable. This is an assumed risk with owning these breeds. I have made it my priority to only breed the healthiest and best quality dogs possible but that still does not mean I can eliminate all the common issues within these breeds. Even if you do not plan to breed, as a pet owner you must be fully aware that despite our best efforts to produce only the healthiest puppies through selective breeding and long term evaluations that we cannot prevent all defects within these breeds from popping up. You as a Buyer must be fully prepared to endure the long term care and vet expenses that can comes with owning these wonderful and truly unique little dogs." *** All puppies will have a full health and fecal check prior to leaving the Seller***
~ Buyer declares that they have done their research on the breed they have chosen and are fully aware of the health risks associated with this breed as well as training and housing requirements. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~Buyer understands that French and English bulldogs are extremely sensitive to heat and extreme cold and are meant to be INDOOR dogs only. All precautions should be taken to protect them during outings in hot or extreme cold weather. Any outside temperatures over 70 degrees, especially in humid climates, can be deadly to your French or English bulldog. Heat stroke can happen in minutes! __________ (Buyer’s Initials)

Buyer must provide the Seller with a copy of ALL vet records within 24 hours of diagnoses to verify that no vaccines were given at any time while in your possession). 7. ***severe spinal abnormalities*** Most French and English bulldogs have at least one hemi vertebrae, if not more. Replacements for spinal issues will be discussed on a case by case basis considering the quality of life of your dog, the opinion of your vet and whether surgery is necessary.

~Buyer understands that the Seller makes no guarantee that they will be able to show or breed the puppy as an adult regardless of show or breeding potentials visually perceived as a puppy. We do our best to produce dogs that are showable and breedable, no one can predict how any puppy will mature. No refunds or replacements are offered for dogs that don’t fit the Buyer’s expectations at maturity or are unable to reproduce as this can be due to many factors including: diet, stress,
_______________(Buyer's Initials)
vaccinations, injury, bacterial infections such as pyometra, contracted sexual diseases such as brucellosis etc.. are not covered under this contract__________ (Buyer’s Initials)
(By initialing here you understand and agree with the above statement) ~If said puppy that Buyer has reserved should become ill, injured or die prior to leaving the Seller the Buyer will be offered a full refund of their deposit OR they may transfer their deposit to a future litter or another puppy if one is available.

Return shipping/transportation is the responsibility of the Buyer. Shipping costs/transportation for a replacement puppy are also the responsibility of the Buyer. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Buyer understands that a puppy is a baby and that sometimes he/she may get sick due to stress or changes in environment. He/She is leaving our home and entering a new environment and stress related illnesses may occur. Soft or loose stools and lack of appetite are very common during the first week for a puppy in a new home. Especially if the Buyer chooses to change over to a new food. This can cause your new puppy to have loose stools until their system adapts to the new diet. We highly recommend you continue to feed the diet your puppy was weaned onto. Once they adjust and settle in these things usually resolve themselves on their own. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Buyer understands that once the puppy leaves the Seller's possession there are some common conditions that can affect puppies and are NOT COVERED under this guarantee. Coccidiosis (Coccidia), giardia, and kennel cough (upper respiratory virus) are not covered under this guarantee, both of which can be common in puppies and neither are life threatening and are easily treated. Seller HIGHLY recommends you (the Buyer) do NOT place your puppy on the ground in public places until their immune system is better developed after 18 weeks of age. We also HIGHLY recommend you do NOT visit dog parks/doggie day cares. These are breeding grounds for disease and illness even for vaccinated adult dogs! (I have been working as a vet tech since 2004 and I cannot tell you how many vaccinated dogs returning from boarding or who visited dog parks come down with kennel cough and other upper respiratory infections.) __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Coccidiosis AKA coccidia is a parasite that is commonly found in the intestinal tract of most dogs and can present itself when the pup is under stress from changes in environment and the immune system cannot suppress the parasites any longer. Coccidiosis is usually picked up through ingestion of feces by intentionally eating it or through water contaminated by feces. Some puppies like to eat it or "try" it. As much as we strive to keep their living area as clean as possible and pick up messes as quickly as possible we cannot prevent them from this yucky behavior 100% of the time. After all, much like you, we do sleep at night. Coccidia usually will not show up on a fecal exam until the puppy breaks with watery stool which is why it is often missed in routine fecal checks. It is easily treated by your vet with Rx Albon; OR Toltrazuril which can be ordered online with no prescription. Dosage for Toltrazuril is 1 ml per 5 lbs of body weight given once daily for 5 days. ~ Giardia is a parasite that is most commonly found in water, especially in standing water like puddles, lakes, or areas where water collects and does not dry up. It is also found in the feces of infected animals and is very common in bird poop. Giardia is not species specific (zoonotic). Which means your pup can come into contact with it very easily. Many dogs have giardia with no symptoms and some will have intermittent bouts with diarrhea and in severe cases can have bloody stools. Giardia is treated by your vet with a simple 10 day course of medication, most commonly used is a combination of fenbendazole (panacur) and metronidazole. ~ Kennel cough is a highly contagious self-limiting VIRUS (like the common cold), full recovery is expected within 14-21 days on its own and is not life threatening. The only time an antibiotic should prescribed for kennel cough/upper respiratory is if it associated with a colored nasal discharge (this is a secondary bronchi infection). Kennel cough is a VIRUS and cannot be treated with antibiotics just like the common cold. They can, however, prescribe cough tablets to help control the cough if it is frequent and persistent. ~ We (the Seller) will NEVER let a puppy that is ill or that has been exposed to another dog/pup that is ill leave our possession. If any puppy appears to be in less than excellent health the Buyer will be notified immediately and given the option of a refund of deposit or if the Buyer chooses we will keep the puppy in our care and pay for all necessary treatment until a clean bill of health is given by our vet and then the Buyer may take possession of the puppy. ***All of our pups are raised in a clean and sterile environment with access to fresh and clean water at all times. We do take every precaution to prevent any contagious illnesses from entering our home. This is the #1 reason we do not allow in home visits of our puppies. ***The Buyer should be aware that puppy behaviors such as eating their own feces or other dogs' feces can lead to bacteria entering their system and Coccidiosis and/or giardia is a common result of this behavior in young puppies. ~ If any Issue is disclosed to the Buyer prior to the puppy leaving, and the buyer proceeds with the purchase of the puppy and the puppy leaves our possession that said issue will not be covered under any circumstance. ________________( Buyer's Initials)
~ Seller guarantees that any male pup sold with Full Registration, for the purpose of being bred or shown, will have two descended testicles. If said puppy purchased by the Buyer does not have two descended testicles the Seller will offer a replacement puppy of equal value, when one is available. The Buyer MUST return the original puppy to the Seller in order to receive a replacement, no exceptions. Return shipping/transportation are the responsibility of the Buyer. Shipping costs/transportation for a replacement puppy are also the responsibility of the Buyer. __________ (Buyer’s Initials) ~ Buyer understands that there MUST BE A SPECIFIC AND CONCLUSIVE DIAGNOSIS in writing from the Buyer's veterinarian before a replacement puppy will be offered for any congenital/hereditary defect or condition listed in this contract. A speculative or inconclusive diagnosis WILL NOT warrant a replacement puppy from the Seller. No Exceptions! ___________ (Buyer’s Initials)

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR NEW PUPPY
~ We recommend during the lifetime of your puppy you only feed a 100% grain free diet or a species appropriate raw diet. There is a full page of information on our website on feeding raw and we are always here to assist with any and all questions you may have. ~ The health benefits of feeding a 100% grain free/raw diet are tremendous! This greatly decreases the possibility of skin problems or food allergies, and your bulldog will have a healthier coat and skin. Your dog will have a healthier immune system which means less trips to the vet, and a added benefit of raw feeding is less poop! Because the majority of the food they consume is used by the body there is less waste that comes out! ~ We are more than happy to help you plan a species appropriate diet for your new family member. All you have to do is ask! ~We also strongly advise that your puppy is NOT encouraged to run up and down stairs or jump onto and off of furniture. This can cause adverse effects to the growth plates and undeveloped joints of a growing puppy and can injure their spine very easily. ~ Dysplasia can be caused by environmental factors. Meaning; through repeated trauma to undeveloped joints and growth plates in a growing puppy early onset of dysplasia can be caused as a result of injury. It is very important to prevent injury to your puppy from rough play and jumping out of vehicles and onto and off of furniture. Running down stairs is not healthy for your pups elbows, shoulders or spine, either. ~ DO NOT have your puppy retrieve toys or run on vinyl, tile, wood, or ceramic floors where their feet can slide out from under them. This can cause injury to the ligaments and joints in your puppy's legs. ~ We HIGHLY recommend that your new puppy is not placed on the ground in public places before their immune system is strong enough, this is typically around 18 + weeks. We also HIGHLY recommend you avoid dog parks and doggie day cares for the life of your dog. As fun as these places may seem they are just a large breeding ground for disease and illness. ~ If you have any questions or concerns about your puppy's development or anything else please just ask and we will be more than happy to discuss your concerns and how to best address them.
Buyer certifies that they have read the Agreement in full and UNDERSTANDS and AGREES to ALL TERMS listed herein.

Seller’s Signature Date
For legal purposes, you the purchaser will be referred to as “Buyer” and the breeder of said puppy will be referred to as “Seller.”
~ Puppies that are priced up to $10,000 require a non-refundable deposit of $500- $1,000 to hold your pick. ~ Puppies that are priced over $10,000 require a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 to hold your pick. ~Buyer is fully aware that the deposit is non-refundable. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Deposit must be received within 24 hours from the time a pup is requested to be reserved or the pup will be available to the next buyer in line. Deposit may be sent by Walmart to Walmart, Western Union, PayPal (friends and family option only), bank transfer, Venmo or Facebook Pay. ***Deposit may be sent by Money Order if Buyer provides photo proof of money order with Seller's name on it. Money Order must also be sent by overnight delivery with a tracking number. ~ Remaining balance is due in full by 8 weeks of age OR at the time of pickup/delivery. ~ Shipping fees, if needed, are due at least 14 days prior to said puppy leaving. Hand delivery of your pup to most U.S. locations in the lower 48 states will be $350-$400. For Hawaii, Alaska or locations outside of the U.S. we will need to contact our puppy nanny for a price quote. ~ Buyer understands that if shipping is needed we, the Seller, will make arrangements to fly ourselves or send one of our personal trusted puppy nannies only. We do this to make sure our puppies are cared for properly during travel and delivered safely. Due to several problems with previous puppy nannies hired by our Buyer’s we now strictly enforce this policy. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
***We do not ship our pups by air cargo. Absolutely no exceptions, this is inhumane and we will not risk the life of our babies to ship them cargo! We will hand deliver our pups or use one of our trusted puppy nannies if we are unable to make arrangements to fly at that specific time. ~If the Buyer chooses, they may pick up their pup in person. ~ No puppy will leave the Seller's possession before 8 weeks of age. No exceptions!
~Most puppies will be ready to go at 8 weeks but if we, the Seller, feel it would be in the best interest to keep the puppy here for a few extra weeks we will notify the Buyer as soon as we have made that decision. We prefer not to let puppies under 4 lbs leave until they have at least reached that weight. We also want to make sure our puppies are weaned well enough to eat at least soaked kibble before they leave. We try to keep our pups with mom as long as possible. By doing this sometimes they do not transition onto solid food as fast. Especially if mom is loaded with milk. ~The puppy is to be picked up or delivered by 12 weeks of age. ~If the Buyer is unable to meet for delivery or pickup their pup by 12 weeks of age the Buyer agrees to pay a boarding fee to the Seller in the amount of $10 PER DAY that the puppy remains in the Seller’s possession beyond 12 weeks of age to cover care and expenses of said puppy, for up to 30 days. If the Buyer fails to pay for shipping, meet for delivery, or pickup said puppy after that 30 days of boarding the Buyer agrees to forfeit their deposit and the puppy can then be re-sold by the Seller. UNLESS we, the Seller, are holding the puppy back to make sure it has reached at least 4 lbs and/or is fully weaned and thriving. If this is the case then no boarding fees or forfeit of deposit will be imposed. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
EXCEPTION: Puppies needing transport to most non-US locations cannot be shipped before 16 weeks of age. For puppies being shipped to non-US locations an agreed upon boarding fee will be added to the cost of the puppy. This fee will be based upon length of time the puppy is to be kept, USDA requirements needed for export, and vet expenses.
IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY BOTH PARTIES THAT THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS WILL BE MET AND THAT NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
~ Buyer understands that by sending a deposit to hold a puppy for purchase you are agreeing to all the terms here within and are bound by this agreement with the Seller. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)

Buyout must be paid by the time the spay/neuter agreement was contractually agreed upon to happen, the pups 1st birthday. After that time, if the pup is not spayed/neutered or bought out the Buyer will forfeit their right to any AKC Limited or Full Registration papers.

One Year Limited Health Guarantee
The word "limited" is included because there are conditions that are very common to the French and English bulldog breeds that are not covered by this guarantee. "Before I committed to being a breeder of French and English bulldogs, I spent years researching and finding out all the information about them that I could and after all of my research I decided I was willing to accept and assume all of the expense and medical risks associated with owning them. I have purchased and owned several that have either not grown into what I prefer to have in my breeding program or they weren't as healthy as I would have liked them to be, to be considered breedable. This is an assumed risk with owning these breeds. I have made it my priority to only breed the healthiest and best quality dogs possible but that still does not mean I can eliminate all the common issues within these breeds. Even if you do not plan to breed, as a pet owner you must be fully aware that despite our best efforts to produce only the healthiest puppies through selective breeding and long term evaluations that we cannot prevent all defects within these breeds from popping up. You as a Buyer must be fully prepared to endure the long term care and vet expenses that can comes with owning these wonderful and truly unique little dogs." *** All puppies will have a full health and fecal check prior to leaving the Seller***
~ Buyer declares that they have done their research on the breed they have chosen and are fully aware of the health risks associated with this breed as well as training and housing requirements. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~Buyer understands that French and English bulldogs are extremely sensitive to heat and extreme cold and are meant to be INDOOR dogs only. All precautions should be taken to protect them during outings in hot or extreme cold weather. Any outside temperatures over 70 degrees, especially in humid climates, can be deadly to your French or English bulldog. Heat stroke can happen in minutes! __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Buyer understands and is fully aware that NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN FOR ANY REASON other than those stated in this agreement.______________(Buyer's Initials)

1. Life threatening heart defects (heart murmurs must be a grade 3 or higher) 2. Neurological disorders 3. Liver shunts 4. Patellar Luxation (must be at least a grade 3 and require surgery to warrant a replacement) 5. Severe hip dysplasia (must be confirmed by x-ray and be graded severe and requiring amputation, femoral head removal or fusion surgery, euthanasia. Mild/moderate dysplasia is not covered as most bulldog breeds do not have good hip conformation and mild/moderate dysplasia can be environmental, as well. Environmental means through repeated trauma to the undeveloped joints through rough play, too much exercise, jumping on and off of furniture and decks, etc.). 6. Auto immune disease (We will only replace UN-VACCINATED dogs with this condition. Auto immune can be triggered by vaccines. Buyer must provide the Seller with a copy of ALL vet records within 24 hours of diagnoses to verify that no vaccines were given at any time while in your possession). 7. ***severe spinal abnormalities*** Most French and English bulldogs have at least one hemi vertebrae, if not more. Replacements for spinal issues will be discussed on a case by case basis considering the quality of life of your dog, the opinion of your vet and whether surgery is necessary. (Please do not let your dog jump from high surfaces, as this can increase the chances of a ‘normal’ hemi vertebrate becoming problematic). Hemi vertebrae found in routine x ray that are not currently problematic will NOT be considered for replacement. 8. Any other LIFE THREATENING defects will be discussed on a case by case basis. Buyer understands that conditions not listed in this contract are not guaranteed for replacement.______________(Buyer's Initials)

~Buyer understands that the Seller makes no guarantee that they will be able to show or breed the puppy as an adult regardless of show or breeding potentials visually perceived as a puppy. We do our best to produce dogs that are showable and breedable, no one can predict how any puppy will mature. No refunds or replacements are offered for dogs that don’t fit the Buyer’s expectations at maturity or are unable to reproduce as this can be due to many factors including: diet, stress,
_______________(Buyer's Initials)
vaccinations, injury, bacterial infections such as pyometra, contracted sexual diseases such as brucellosis etc.. are not covered under this contract__________ (Buyer’s Initials)
(By initialing here you understand and agree with the above statement) ~If said puppy that Buyer has reserved should become ill, injured or die prior to leaving the Seller the Buyer will be offered a full refund of their deposit OR they may transfer their deposit to a future litter or another puppy if one is available.

To Validate Your Health Guarantee: ~ At the expense of the Buyer, this puppy should be examined by a veterinarian within 48 hours of possession to VALIDATE the Health Guarantee. Proof of the Health Exam (a receipt for office exam will suffice) from the Buyer's veterinarian dated no more than 48 hours from the time said puppy left possession of the Seller MUST be emailed/mailed to the Seller immediately following the exam or the Guarantee is VOID. If a copy of the Health Exam is not received within 14 days of the date said puppy left the Seller's possession this Health Guarantee is VOID. ____________ ~ If any Issue is disclosed to the Buyer prior to the puppy leaving, and the buyer proceeds with the purchase of the puppy that said issue will not be covered under any circumstance. ________________( Buyer's Initials)
~ Should said puppy be found to be in ill health during the veterinarian exam, the cause of which is clearly attributable to the Seller, the puppy may, upon a written and conclusive diagnosis and a description of the puppy in question from a veterinarian, be returned to the Seller for another puppy of equal value when one is available. Return shipping/transportation is the responsibility of the Buyer. Shipping costs/transportation for a replacement puppy are also the responsibility of the Buyer. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Buyer understands that a puppy is a baby and that sometimes he/she may get sick due to stress or changes in environment. He/She is leaving our home and entering a new environment and stress related illnesses may occur. Soft or loose stools and lack of appetite are very common during the first week for a puppy in a new home. Especially if the Buyer chooses to change over to a new food. This can cause your new puppy to have loose stools until their system adapts to the new diet. We highly recommend you continue to feed the diet your puppy was weaned onto. Once they adjust and settle in these things usually resolve themselves on their own. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Buyer understands that once the puppy leaves the Seller's possession there are some common conditions that can affect puppies and are NOT COVERED under this guarantee. Coccidiosis (Coccidia), giardia, and kennel cough (upper respiratory virus) are not covered under this guarantee, both of which can be common in puppies and neither are life threatening and are easily treated. Seller HIGHLY recommends you (the Buyer) do NOT place your puppy on the ground in public places until their immune system is better developed after 18 weeks of age. We also HIGHLY recommend you do NOT visit dog parks/doggie day cares. These are breeding grounds for disease and illness even for vaccinated adult dogs! (I have been working as a vet tech since 2004 and I cannot tell you how many vaccinated dogs returning from boarding or who visited dog parks come down with kennel cough and other upper respiratory infections.) __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ Coccidiosis AKA coccidia is a parasite that is commonly found in the intestinal tract of most dogs and can present itself when the pup is under stress from changes in environment and the immune system cannot suppress the parasites any longer. Coccidiosis is usually picked up through ingestion of feces by intentionally eating it or through water contaminated by feces. Some puppies like to eat it or "try" it. As much as we strive to keep their living area as clean as possible and pick up messes as quickly as possible we cannot prevent them from this yucky behavior 100% of the time. After all, much like you, we do sleep at night. Coccidia usually will not show up on a fecal exam until the puppy breaks with watery stool which is why it is often missed in routine fecal checks. It is easily treated by your vet with Rx Albon; OR Toltrazuril which can be ordered online with no prescription. Dosage for Toltrazuril is 1 ml per 5 lbs of body weight given once daily for 5 days. ~ Giardia is a parasite that is most commonly found in water, especially in standing water like puddles, lakes, or areas where water collects and does not dry up. It is also found in the feces of infected animals and is very common in bird poop. Giardia is not species specific (zoonotic). Which means your pup can come into contact with it very easily. Many dogs have giardia with no symptoms and some will have intermittent bouts with diarrhea and in severe cases can have bloody stools. Giardia is treated by your vet with a simple 10 day course of medication, most commonly used is a combination of fenbendazole (panacur) and metronidazole. ~ Kennel cough is a highly contagious self-limiting VIRUS (like the common cold), full recovery is expected within 14-21 days on its own and is not life threatening. The only time an antibiotic should prescribed for kennel cough/upper respiratory is if it associated with a colored nasal discharge (this is a secondary bronchi infection). Kennel cough is a VIRUS and cannot be treated with antibiotics just like the common cold. They can, however, prescribe cough tablets to help control the cough if it is frequent and persistent. ~ We (the Seller) will NEVER let a puppy that is ill or that has been exposed to another dog/pup that is ill leave our possession. If any puppy appears to be in less than excellent health the Buyer will be notified immediately and given the option of a refund of deposit or if the Buyer chooses we will keep the puppy in our care and pay for all necessary treatment until a clean bill of health is given by our vet and then the Buyer may take possession of the puppy. ***All of our pups are raised in a clean and sterile environment with access to fresh and clean water at all times. We do take every precaution to prevent any contagious illnesses from entering our home. This is the #1 reason we do not allow in home visits of our puppies. ***The Buyer should be aware that puppy behaviors such as eating their own feces or other dogs' feces can lead to bacteria entering their system and Coccidiosis and/or giardia is a common result of this behavior in young puppies. ~ If any Issue is disclosed to the Buyer prior to the puppy leaving, and the buyer proceeds with the purchase of the puppy and the puppy leaves our possession that said issue will not be covered under any circumstance. ________________( Buyer's Initials)
~ Seller guarantees that any male pup sold with Full Registration, for the purpose of being bred or shown, will have two descended testicles. If said puppy purchased by the Buyer does not have two descended testicles the Seller will offer a replacement puppy of equal value, when one is available. The Buyer MUST return the original puppy to the Seller in order to receive a replacement, no exceptions. Return shipping/transportation are the responsibility of the Buyer. Shipping costs/transportation for a replacement puppy are also the responsibility of the Buyer. __________ (Buyer’s Initials) ~ Buyer understands that there MUST BE A SPECIFIC AND CONCLUSIVE DIAGNOSIS in writing from the Buyer's veterinarian before a replacement puppy will be offered for any congenital/hereditary defect or condition listed in this contract. A speculative or inconclusive diagnosis WILL NOT warrant a replacement puppy from the Seller. No Exceptions! ___________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ If the Buyer is owed a replacement they must take their replacement within 24 months from the time the replacement was warranted. After 24 months the Buyer forfeits their right to a replacement. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~ BUYER UNDERSTANDS THAT ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE SELLER FOR A REPLACEMENT PUPPY WILL BE VERIFIED! WE WILL HAVE OUR VET CONTACT YOUR VET TO DISCUSS THEIR FINDINGS. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~Buyer agrees to authorize the release of said puppy's medical records to the Seller and the Seller's veterinarian for the purpose of review should a replacement puppy be requested or potentially warranted within 72 hours of notifying the Seller of a problem. Failure to provide all medical records regarding said puppy will VOID Buyer's right to a replacement. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
THE AGREEMENT IS VOID IF…
If we, the Seller, find out that we were lied to in any way in regards to the purchase of said puppy AFTER it has left our possession your health guarantee will be VOID. If full registration papers were included in the purchase of said puppy we will notify the AKC of your purchase under fraudulent conditions. ~ If we, the Seller, find out that we were lied to in any way in regards to the purchase of said puppy BEFORE it leaves our possession the Buyer will forfeit any monies paid to the Seller and we will no longer do business with you. Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy! Buyer agrees to be 100% truthful in all regards of the purchase of this puppy. Including, if the puppy is being purchased as a “gift” for someone else.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
~ Seller reserves the right to cancel the sale of said puppy at any time for any reason. If the Seller chooses not to sell said puppy all monies paid including deposit will be returned to the Buyer, UNLESS; the reason we choose to cancel the sale is due to falsified information provided by the Buyer before said puppy leaves our possession then you will forfeit all monies paid and we will no longer do business with you. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~Buyer understands that this agreement is non-transferable. All terms regarding said puppy made between Buyer and Seller apply ONLY to the original listed party in this agreement. Therefore the Health Guarantee is non-transferable if Buyer decides to sell, trade, co-own, or give away said puppy as a gift. Even if the original party buys or takes back said puppy before their 1st birthday. Once said puppy leaves possession of the original Buyer this contract is null and void. __________ (Buyer’s Initials)
~Any legal disputes will be filed and heard in Sellers Court of Jurisdiction ______________(Buyer's Initials)
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR NEW PUPPY
~ We recommend during the lifetime of your puppy you only feed a 100% grain free diet or a species appropriate raw diet. There is a full page of information on our website on feeding raw and we are always here to assist with any and all questions you may have. ~ The health benefits of feeding a 100% grain free/raw diet are tremendous! This greatly decreases the possibility of skin problems or food allergies, and your bulldog will have a healthier coat and skin. Your dog will have a healthier immune system which means less trips to the vet, and a added benefit of raw feeding is less poop! Because the majority of the food they consume is used by the body there is less waste that comes out! ~ We are more than happy to help you plan a species appropriate diet for your new family member. All you have to do is ask! ~We also strongly advise that your puppy is NOT encouraged to run up and down stairs or jump onto and off of furniture. This can cause adverse effects to the growth plates and undeveloped joints of a growing puppy and can injure their spine very easily. ~ Dysplasia can be caused by environmental factors. Meaning; through repeated trauma to undeveloped joints and growth plates in a growing puppy early onset of dysplasia can be caused as a result of injury. It is very important to prevent injury to your puppy from rough play and jumping out of vehicles and onto and off of furniture. Running down stairs is not healthy for your pups elbows, shoulders or spine, either. ~ DO NOT have your puppy retrieve toys or run on vinyl, tile, wood, or ceramic floors where their feet can slide out from under them. This can cause injury to the ligaments and joints in your puppy's legs. ~ We HIGHLY recommend that your new puppy is not placed on the ground in public places before their immune system is strong enough, this is typically around 18 + weeks. We also HIGHLY recommend you avoid dog parks and doggie day cares for the life of your dog. As fun as these places may seem they are just a large breeding ground for disease and illness. ~ If you have any questions or concerns about your puppy's development or anything else please just ask and we will be more than happy to discuss your concerns and how to best address them.
