Signature: ______BREEDER GUARANTEES: 1. This puppy will have been wormed at least three times, had a first vaccine (unless buyer prefers to wait on vaccine), and been checked by a licensed veterinarian before leaving breeder’s home. 2. Great care has been taken to breed dogs with pedigrees that indicate good genetic background but if there is a problem, we offer a 1-year warranty for all buyers and an extended 4-year warranty for buyers that follow our “Extended Warranty Requirements”. Both warranties cover hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, heart, eyes, and congenital defects causing death or euthanasia. In the event of a confirmed genetic defect as listed below, the buyer can return the dog to the breeder at the buyer’s expense for a refund of ______(full sales price of the dog not including transportation costs or charges for extra time and training at my home) or keep the dog and receive a $______refund (75% of sales price). We also reserve the right to acquire DNA to determine that the dog or puppy is one of our lineages. Also, if there is a congenital defect causing death or euthanasia, we will give a full refund of ______. 3. The sire and dam of this puppy have been examined and cleared for hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. We also guarantee the puppy against having clinical signs of hip or elbow dysplasia. Summer Brook Acres must receive an OFA report confirming either moderate or severe hip dysplasia or moderate or severe elbow dysplasia. A copy of the x-ray must also be furnished to Summer Brook Acres and if we determine that the dog was poorly positioned, we reserve the right to require the dog to be re-x-rayed by a vet of our choice. 4. This puppy is also warrantied for genetic defects of the heart. If there is a severe heart murmur (grade 5/6 or 6/6) that will affect the quality of life of this dog, the diagnosis must be confirmed by a letter to breeder from a reputable licensed veterinary cardiologist. 5. This puppy is warrantied for genetic defects of the eyes. If there is a genetic eye defect that affects this puppy’s quality of life, the diagnosis must be confirmed by a letter to breeder from a reputable licensed veterinarian ophthalmologist. 6. This puppy is guaranteed to be free of untreatable health conditions for 5 days after leaving breeders home. In order for this guarantee to be valid, the buyer must take their puppy to a licensed veterinarian of their choice for the puppy’s check-up within 5 days of purchase. If puppy is found to have a disease that is untreatable or found to have a hereditary disease, then a letter from the licensed veterinarian stating so must be presented to the seller within 10 days of delivery. In this case, the puppy will be returned to the seller within the same 10 days and a refund of $______(full purchase price not including transportation or additional fees for extra time and training at my home) will be given to the buyer at that time, thus ending this contract entirely. Relocation, travel, and separation from their littermates can stress a puppy causing the puppy to not eat properly for a few days and stress can bring out certain treatable conditions that would not be included as a reason for a puppy’s return to the breeder. Breeder is not responsible if puppy contracts a communicable disease after leaving our property. 7. Due to environmental and training issues out of our control, once the puppy leaves our home, breeder cannot warranty the temperament of the puppy. 8. Breeder does not guarantee color, size, or look of any puppy. 9. Under no circumstances will breeder be held liable for any expenses incurred by buyer, including but not limited to veterinarian bills and transportation costs.

EXTENDED WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS 1. This puppy must not be over-vaccinated according to our guidelines on summerbrookgoldens.com or according to Dr. Jean Dodds’ vaccination protocol or Dr. Ronald Schultz’s protocol. Dr. Dodds and Dr. Schultz are well-known and well-respected veterinarians in the field of immunology. Many veterinarians are still advocating yearly vaccines while most, if not all, schools of veterinary medicine are now advocating fewer vaccines. Over-vaccination will include having puppy vaccines closer together than 3 weeks, having a rabies vaccine earlier than is necessary to comply with state laws, giving a Leptospirosis vaccine before puppy is 12 weeks of age, or giving a rabies vaccine on the same day as other vaccines. 2. This puppy must not be over-exercised prior to reaching 1½ years of age. Over-exercise would include being forced to go faster on a leash than a trot, being put on a tread-mill, rough play with older dogs or children, standing on back legs for extended periods of time; wild tennis ball games with chasing and retrieving (especially on slippery floors or wet grass and with balls thrown further than 15-20 feet), and chasing Frisbees. This puppy will also be kept from going up and down full flights of stairs (over 7 steps) prior to 16 weeks of age. 3. Boy dogs cannot be neutered before a year of age. Girls must be kept un-spayed until after their first heat cycle AND after they are a year of age. A study done by UC Davis has shown that dogs spayed or neutered before a year have a considerably higher risk of certain cancers as well as hip and elbow dysplasia. 4. Buyer has exclusively fed a food rated as 4 or 4 1/2 or 5 stars on www.dogfoodadvisor.com or a balanced home cooked or raw diet.

They should not look filled out like an adult until close to a year of age. 2. There is evidence of neglect or abuse. 3.
