Holding Agreement:
A deposit is required to hold your puppy. The seller guarantees the buyer that the dog will not be sold to any other buyer as long as the buyer adheres to the Picking Up your Puppy guideline. The deposit is non-refundable and will be applied to the purchase price of the dog. You may send a money order or pay your deposit via PayPal. Remainder of the puppy price will need to be paid when picking the puppy up or before shipping. If you are paying when you pick the puppy up, it will need to be with money order or cash or PayPal. No personal checks! Puppy picks and visits will not be made until the puppies have received their first vaccinations at six weeks of age in order to ensure that your puppy is protected from diseases that an outside person can bring in, unless the buyer chooses to pick from pictures.
Picking Up Your Puppy
Your puppy needs to be picked up within one week after the puppy reaches 8 weeks of age unless other arrangements have been made PRIOR to the 8 week age. If no arrangements have been made and puppy is not picked up by 9 weeks of age, the contract will be void and another buyer will be selected. All fees are to be paid in full before the puppy will be released to the buyer.. Deposits are non-refundable.
First Right of Recovery
If for any reason buyer is not able to keep this puppy/dog, we must be informed before the puppy/dog is resold or given away. We reserve the right for first option to buy if the puppy is ever sold or given away. The original purchase price of the puppy is non-refundable. Buyer is responsible for returning the dog to us. The buyer also agrees that the breeder is not responsible for any stress, damages, or injuries caused by any puppies once the puppy leaves the breeders’ property. Under no circumstances are any puppies/dogs to be sold to a pet store, broker, puppy mill or surrendered to a shelter. We love and care for our dogs and want to be notified immediately if you can no longer care for them. We can also help you find an appropriate home if we are not able to take them back.
Nutrition/Food-2 year Health Guarantee
To get the two year Health Guarantee, your puppy must be fed Life’s Abundance Food on Auto Ship (which is cheaper than not on Auto Ship). Food needs to be ordered before you pick your puppy up. It must be ordered from the website we give you (www.lifesabundance.com/dnpups) or with our ordering number if you call your order in. If at any time you cancel your food order, then this entire contract is null and void.
Our puppies begin Life’s Abundance quality food because of the powerful antioxidants and live probiotics which eliminate free radicals and boost the immune system and good flora in the gut, creating a preventative against skin and coat problems various forms of cancer, heart issues, arthritis, cataracts, tumors, digestive problems, allergies, and hip dysplasia. Our food is one of the highest foods for quality, safety, and money savings per cup there is, and the only one that is 6-11 weeks fresh when you receive it!! We believe it is crucial for your puppy to continue Life’s Abundance food through their lifetime. It is MANDATORY that you continue Life’s Abundance food through the site I gave you to be in good standing with the contract. This ensures us on our records that the puppy will be getting the very best food provided and trusted by top quality breeders and reputable vets who know and care about nutrition. There is no other food on the market that stands up to the quality or safety measures our food does. We also recommend that you use Life’s Abundance vitamins (daily vitamin) for the first six months and then switch to the Agility vitamin at that time. Should you choose not to feed this food, we will not honor the two year health/hip guarantee and instead will only give a one year guarantee against life-threatening genetic defects.
We love our dogs and hope you do too and want your puppy to live a long, healthy and happy life. There is no food of this caliber, quality, or safety out there or the many standards it chooses to meet, even oversea standards that our food meets which is higher than USA, AAFCO standards. We also have a certification from a group called APHIS-Animal Plant Health Inspection Service. This group inspects our incoming ingredients to make sure it is all quality human grade food. That is why we recommend the BEST food.

Health Guarantee
We offer a two year health guarantee against life-threatening genetic defects including severe hip dysplasia. Viral, bacterial colds or infections such as Coccidia or Giardia (which are a form of worms) are easily treated and are not covered in our guarantee as they are natural things a puppy can pick up. Umbilical hernias, cryptorchidism, underbite, or overbite are also not covered. Puppies are naturally at risk for coccidia, giardia and worms which are often brought on by the stress of a new home, new food, new people, or just a change in the environment. Another thing that may show up when a puppy is taken to a new environment is kennel cough (Bordatella-a raspy cough is a symptom of this) which is common when puppies are transported to their new homes and is usually caused by bacteria. Kennel cough is self-limiting and like the common cold, must run its course. Full recovery is expected and kennel cough, giardia, coccidian on their own are not life threatening. All puppies are treated and/or vaccinated for distemper, parvo, coccidia, giardia, and worms before they leave our kennel. However, you need to be aware that these things can arise and that most of them are not serious and are easily treated and we will not cover treatment for them. We DO NOT guarantee temperament as a dog is a product of its environment and training and we can only ensure the puppy is well socialized at the time it leaves our kennel. How the new owner chooses to raise this dog will be a major determining factor regarding its temperament and personality. You are solely responsible for socializing/training properly. Obedience classes are highly recommended with a trainer who knows the breed and a credited trainer.
Should a return be indicated, Buyer must notify Seller within 72 hours of the veterinarian visit, and the arrangement and cost of returning the dog is the Buyer’s responsibility. Any vet bills incurred are also the responsibility of the Buyer. No money will be returned for any reason to the buyer. A written statement by the examining vet will be required. If there is a problem with the hips or elbows, we must receive official OFA results by the age of 26 months in order to cover. In our ongoing commitment to breeding dogs with excellent health backgrounds, we do ask Buyer to notify Due North Ranch of any health problems that arise in a dog bred here, that may have a genetic basis. Replacement will be made with a puppy of equal value as litters allow.
The buyer shall provide proper nutrition, vet care, shelter, and exercise. If the dog is found to be neglected or abused, the breeder has the right to take the dog at anytime without payment or replacement. It is a privilege to own an animal. We do not tolerate abuse or neglect to our animals.
I acknowledge that this is a legal and binding contract and have reviewed and agree to the terms listed above. The buyer will maintain vaccinations, worming, and keep the puppy in humane conditions with proper food, water, and shelter. This contract applies only to the original purchaser and is not transferable. When a deposit is received by us, the Buyer automatically agrees to the terms of this contract, even if the contract has not been signed yet.
