(  ) Limited Registration: The puppy/dog is a purebred Golden Retriever and has been pre-registered with the AKC and is being sold with limited AKC registration. Breeder agrees to provide Buyer with all AKC registration papers. As such, the puppy is not eligible for exhibiting in Conformation (but may compete in other performance events, such as Agility, Obedience, and Rally). The puppy shall not be bred at any time and if pups are produced, such offspring will not be eligible for AKC registration. The puppy is being sold solely as a companion and breeding of the puppy is expressly prohibited. If at any time the puppy has produced any offspring, the Buyer must contact the Breeder immediately and will pay an “unauthorized breeding fee” of $10,000, and all of Breeder’s warranties set forth in this Agreement will become null and void.

Contract Conditions

Breeder is the lawful owner of the puppy and has the right to transfer ownership of the puppy to the Buyer. Ownership of the puppy will be transferred to Buyer upon Buyer’s payment of the final Purchase Price and signing this contract. Buyer verifies all information is true and correct. Breeder guarantees that the puppy has had proper care to date and has been examined by a veterinarian. Puppy has received its first shots and has had at least two rounds of deworming. Buyer, at their own expense, must have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 3 business days of picking up the puppy in order for the health guarantee to remain valid. Worms, fleas, mites, coccidiosis, giardia, or any other parasites are common in dogs and puppies and are not part of our health guarantee. The Breeder does not assume any liability for any injuries the puppy may sustain after it leaves the Breeder’s property. The veterinarian must provide a written statement deeming the puppy/dog “unfit for purchase”, which must be sent to Breeder within 48 hours of the veterinary examination.

The entire purchase price of any dog covered by this warranty may be applied to a puppy from the next available Boise Goldens litter of your choice if the dog is deemed nonfunctional or put to sleep. Buyer's sole remedy under this Agreement shall be replacement puppy or refund as specifically outlined herein. Breeder shall not be liable for veterinary expenses, emotional damages, consequential damages, or other costs. Breeder has the right to, at any time, choose to stop breeding Golden Retrievers. In this case, no replacement puppies shall be given and this contract is null and void.
