I,_______________________ (the Buyer) of (city/town)
All of our pups come with this guarantee, sold as pet, companion, breeder or show.
We strive to have happy, satisfied, pleased customers, who will have years of pleasure from the new member of their family, and will tell their friends of our Dachshunds and Guarantee. Our intentions are to sell healthy, quality puppies.
Honeyman's Dachshund's requires you to take your new puppy to a veterinarian, of your choice, for an initial health evaluation, within 72 hours from the date of receiving, for our New Puppy Agreement/Health Guarantee to be in effect. If the puppy is not checked within the stated amount of time, the seller/breeder is under no obligation to accept the return of the dog or to refund any of the purchase price of the dog. If the dog is not yet vet-checked, the breeder is not responsible in anyway for any problems that may occur after the stated 72 hour period. Should your puppy be diagnosed with a serious health problem at time of evaluation, Honeyman's Dachshund's are to be notified immediately. This does not include: whip, round, hook and or any other type of worms. This also does not include: coccida, giardia and or campi as these are bacterial infections that can picked up anywhere. A copy of the licensed veterinarian's diagnosis must be sent to us along with his signature, license number, phone number and address. Honeyman's Dachshund's will not accept injuries that have occurred after leaving our premises as any excuse for a refund.
__If you have made a mistake in taking on the responsibility of owning a new puppy regardless the reason, you may return the puppy to us at anytime. The will be no refunds or exchanges in this instance. Honeyman's Dachshund's is not responsible for any veterinarian costs after the puppy leaves the premises with the new owner or purchaser.
The actions and upbringing of the dog is the responsibility of the new owner. Under no circumstances is the breeder responsible for the dogs behavior once it leaves the breeders possession.
__Honeyman's Dachshund's guarantees for one year against hereditary life threatening or congenital life threatening birth disorders that will interfere with the puppy's ability to lead a normal life. (A detrimental genetic defect is determined as one that is life threatening, will cause imminent death or the need for euthanasia).
__Honeyman's Dachshund's is also not responsible for any issues or hereditary genes associated with dachshunds of a "dilute" coat, such as the alopecia gene. The buyer agrees in signing this contact that Honeyman's Dachshunds is not responsible should any problems with said puppy/dog of dilute color have coat or skin issues arise.
__Conditions are listed and limited to HEART, KIDNEY, LIVER & HIP DYSPLASIA ONLY (Veterinarian conformation is required). A licensed veterinarian must supply the breeder with a written diagnosis and be signed wit his license number, phone number & address. (At the breeder's request, a second opinion may be required, from a non affiliated veterinarian, at the expense of the buyer).
__Honeyman?s Dachshund?s requires a Necropsy (animal autopsy for verification of cause of any death within the guarantee period.
No other conditions are covered by this contract.
__Our guarantee does not include: Kennel cough, or other problems such as coccidian (normally caused by stress) which is common to occur in puppies being shipped or transported to new homes. Honeyman's Dachshunds is not responsible for any sickness, illness, or allergies that might occur to puppy/dog due to stress caused by change in environment, residence, or atmosphere once they leave our premises. These are usually caused by bacteria, virus, and air-born disease. Kennel cough, like the common cold must run its course and on its own is not life threatening. There are other certain disorders this guarantee does not cover that may be caused by environmental factors: allergies, thyroid dysfunction, demodectic mange and other auto immune disorders (puppy strangles) etc.
__Should a hereditary life threatening or congenital life threatening birth disorder develop , we will give another puppy of equal value, from one of our litters, when available, to do with as you please. You may either keep, or sell the replacement puppy, to off set your care of the original pup, should you decide to keep him/ her. You may keep your original puppy or return him/her to us. (You will be responsible for all delivery expenses, to either return, if you choose to, or to have a replacement puppy delivered). No money will be refunded, no veterinarian, hospitalization, laboratory or medication will be paid by the breeder, should you decide to keep the puppy. It would be your choice, to pay for all needed care and expenses.
__Note this is not a cosmetic guarantee, example like baby teeth not falling out, navel hernia or other hernia's, over bites or under bites, patella's, kink in tail, dew claws, to mention a few.
__We do not pay for your vet bills, which could amount, should anything be wrong with your puppy, or if a congenital or genetic birth defect were to develop (or for any other reason). This is due to some of the tests being very expensive and often unnecessary. The decision and responsibility is yours, if you should decide to hospitalize, have treatment done or have any tests run.
__Your puppy will have vaccinations to date of age, and be from parent's current on all vaccination and worming, in good health and none that we are aware of carry any genetic defects. Do not take your puppy to public parks or alike nor around sick dogs that may carry the common canine viruses, bacterial diseases etc. Until all puppy vaccinations are given, these common canine viruses and diseases are very contagious and often deadly. There is no excuse to miss a puppy vaccination at regularly scheduled times. YOUR veterinarian will tell you when he or she advises it. We recommend 4 - 5 puppy vaccinations (WITHOUT LEPTO) with the last puppy shot given at 16 - 17 weeks of age. The yearly booster (ADULT SHOT CONTAINING LEPTO) should not be given until due at 14 - 16 months of age. We keep all of our parents and pups up to date on vaccinations. (We do not guarantee against these common canine diseases or viruses, should your puppy come into contact with any of them. Your puppy is not fully protected until all series of vaccinations are given. I can not state the importance of this enough. Your puppy?s life could depend on it).
__At the time of all sales, we believe our puppies to be in good health. They will have all shots to date for their age, and will have been wormed regularly. All of our puppies have their final health check by a certified veterinarian at 7 - 8 weeks of age.
__We advise that you keep your new pup away from any other dog(s) in your house until your veterinarian has given your puppy a clean bill of health. We will not be responsible for the spreading of Kennel cough, coccidian or any other disease, virus, etc, that your puppy may have come into contact with during shipping, or transportation, etc.
Should your puppy, at this first visit, be found to have worms or coccidian, do not allow him/her to be around any of your dogs, as we will not be responsible of spreading to your other dogs. Ask your veterinarian the amount of time to keep them separate.
We worm all our adults and puppies with Pyrantel Maleate & Panacur. Our puppies are wormed at 2 - 4 - 6 - & 8 weeks of age. Some puppies have more worms than others and our worming might not have gotten rid all worms and eggs. Like most other animals, dogs are plagued by a wide variety of internal and external parasites. Unfortunately, many of these parasites have complex life cycles which enable them to survive even in the best-kept households. Also coccidian can sometimes surfaces from stress, which can be brought on by traveling to their new home, leaving their environment and parents, etc.
__This guarantee is offered to the original buyer (Purchaser) from the breeder, and not transferable nor honored to any other party.
__You will be asked to sign and date this guarantee, at time of meeting, stating that you have read, understand, agree and accept in full, the terms of this guarantee and statements, before your puppy is released to you. If you are having your puppy delivered, you will be required to sign this guarantee stating that you have read, understand, agree and accept in full, the term of this guarantee and statements therein. You will then be required to have a copy made of the agreement/guarantee and mail or email back to the seller a copy of the signed & dated agreement/guarantee. Once the Breeder receives the signed & dated copy, arrangements for your puppy to be delivered to you will be made.
From time to time, people tell me, lighten up, it's just a dog, or, that's a lot of money for just a dog.? They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for just a dog. Some of my proudest moments have come about with just a dog. Many hours have passed and my only company was just a dog, but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by just a dog, and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of just a dog gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's just a dog, then you will probably understand phrases like, just a friend, just a sunrise, or Just a promise. Just a dog, brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. Just a dog, brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of ,just a dog, I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not, just a dog, but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. Just a dog, brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not, 'just a dog, but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being, just a man. So the next time you hear the phrase, just a dog: just smile, because they just don't understand.
