CONTRACT BETWEEN PUPPY BUYER AND TIMBER KENNELS

Two year health guarantee: Timber-bred puppies sold with a full American Kennel Club registration certificate or application are automatically sold with a two year hereditary health guarantee. Dogs not bred by Timber Kennels, specifically Lisa Bowman, are not covered under any guarantees health or otherwise.

Purchasing agreement: a $200 non-refundable deposit may be placed with Timber Kennels in order to hold a puppy request. If the puppy is not paid for and picked up/shipped to within a reasonable time (by 3 months of age), Timber Kennels has the right to keep, sell or give away requested puppy.

Following full payment of puppy/dog, the owner will receive a signed AKC registration or signed application for one. If sold on a limited AKC registration, the buyer will receive a signed limited registration paper or signed limited application form. If puppy/dog is sold without any registration papers or application form, the buyer will recieve a signed bill of sale. If none of these are provided to client at the negotiation time, then there is no sale and puppy/dog remains the property of Timber Kennels. If dog is placed with a client for a period of time, client does not have ownership of puppy/dog at any time.

 

Timber Kennels guarantees that to the best of knowledge, this puppy/dog is in good health. Timber Kennels guarantees that this Timber bred puppy can be returned at buyers expense within FIVE days of purchase for life threatening congenital hereditary defects (parasites not included) and the purchase price will be refunded. At NO other time will purchase fee be refunded. The buyer guarantees to take this puppy/dog to the veterinarian during this five day period for a health examination and to advise Timber Kennels of any problems.

 

If a puppy is diagnosed after a five day period with a life threatening congenital hereditary defect, the puppy can be returned at buyers expense to Timber Kennels and replaced with another puppy of equal value shipped at buyers expense. If a puppy is not available at the time, the buyer will be in line for a puppy of equal value. A written and signed statement in detail of the defect from the veterinarian, who diagnosed the problem, must precede the return of the puppy. If a puppy dies, a full autopsy/necropsy at the buyer's expense must be performed to diagnose the problem. Full results must be sent to Timber Kennels. At no time will Timber Kennels replace a puppy that has been living in the new home for more than 2 months. This provides plenty of time for any congenital hereditary defects to appear.

 

Timber Kennels does provide a full genetic health guarantee on hips, eyes, and ears: Hip Dysplasia, HD, Pre-Retinal Cone Degeneration, PRCD, and full hearing as determined by BAER test results. We breed ethically to provide for the least possible occurance of genetic diseases. We breed for good defined hips, clear eyes, full hearing, and full dentition. All buyers purchasing on a full/intact registration, and even those who spay and neuter- if possible, are requested to complete a hip radiograph, a prcd test, and a BAER test. Most of our pups are PRCD tested prior to sale. Any PRCD results are acceptable. Hips need to be radiographed at some point after the 2 year age mark and sent to OFA for readings- with all results sent to Timber kennels for data purposes. Any and all test results completed on puppy must be coped and sent to Timber kennels immediately. Timber kennels will replace a puppy that does not pass OFA upon return of the first puppy. If buyer wishes to keep the first pup then a pup of equal value will be offered at a reduced rate of 1/2 off regular price. The original pup/dog must be spayed/neutered with a written and signed report from the operating veterinarian sent to Timber Kennels prior to sale of second pup. Timber kennel will work with buyer regarding geneetics in any way we can. We will need full documentation of any problem by a certified veterinarian as well as official agency documentation, i.e. OFA, Optigen, Ingen, CERF, BAER, any related vet records- all must be sent to Timber Kennels.

Timber Kennels has had only a few puppies with defects but in the breeding of dogs it does occur from time to time. If you do buy a puppy and a problem occurs, we will work with you the best we can. Puppy/dog purchase fees are non-refundable.

In connection with all the foregoing, under no circumstances will Timber Kennels be responsible for any expenses incurred by the buyer. The foregoing warranties are in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied. Terms of contract apply to all Timber bred puppies/dogs sold from Timber Kennels whether implied, expressed or signed.

Lisa reserves the right to refuse sale of any Timber ACD to anyone she deems unqualified as determined by Lisa herself. This also applies to the return of any Timber ACD to any person that she disqualifies based on her personal opinion. This decision is based on the well being of the Timber ACD. None will be placed or RETURNED to neglected or abused homes and if found to be so, Lisa will retain FULL owneship of neglected/abused dog. No exceptions!

Buyer's Responsibility: The buyer agrees to provide this puppy with the best health care and to provide for in a humane way and to protect this puppy throughout his entire life.

Any puppy/dog bought from here is always welcome back here. No matter the age or situation.

Hereditary defect guarantee does not apply to limited registration puppies.

Activity Of Your ACD Puppy: ACD puppies are extremely active and are known for injuring their legs, muscles, and joints. Please do not let your puppy do any high jumping for frisbees or agility until they are one year of age. I cannot be held responsible for injuries. Any expenses incurred by buyer are NOT the responsibilty of Timber Kennels and will not be paid by Timber Kennels. No guarantee applies to puppies/dogs injuries.

Working Guarantee: Puppies bought from Timber Kennels with the intention to be used for herding dogs are sold with a guarantee to work livestock.
