GENETIC TESTING: We feel we have done all the dna tests to ensure the best health for our puppies for common congenital disorders.

All our breeding stock have been cleared for hip and elbow dysplasia by the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).

Our breeding stock has also had their eyes checked yearly by a board certified Veterinary Opthamologist (ACVO).

Also all our breeding stock has had a cardiac exam by a board certified cardiologist to check for Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia (TVD). All breeding stock has a clear heart exam by echocardiogram.

DYSPLASIA: : SELLER offers no explicit guarantees against hip or elbow dysplasia. We as SELLERS have done our best effort to ensure that puppies have the best start in life. Unfortunately, congenital disorders have a polygenic mode of inheritance. It is impossible to determine with certainty that any puppy will be completely free of any disorder. Nutrition, exercise and other conditions determine whether a puppy will develop certain disorders. Early spay and neutoring will also be a cause for hip or elbow dysplasia. Joints in canines DO NOT close until they are nearly 2 years of age. We do not recommend spaying or neutoring until they are 2 years old.

BUYER agrees to provide a life-long commitment, comfortable environment, prompt medical attention, and responsible care. This includes keeping this puppy/dog parasite free and up to date with inoculations, proper nutrition, which consists of a good quality dog food at regular intervals, and fresh water available at all times. The BUYER promises to provide a safe environment for the dog and never allow the dog to roam freely without proper fencing or supervision.

Above described dog is being sold as a "pet quality" companion dog under AKC limited registration and shall not be bred. We request all pet quality dogs be spayed or neutored by the age of 2 years. SELLER will require that BUYER use the kennel name "PALOMA" as its prefix when registering with the AKC. Said dog/puppy shall at no time be forfeited to a dog pound or similar rescue organization, or otherwise abandoned in any other fashion.

BUYER agrees to release and hold harmless the SELLER for any and all liability, damages or injuries caused either directly or indirectly by said dog/puppy to any person, whether actual or legal, or to any property, whether real or personal. Furthermore, BUYER assumes full liablility for any damages or injuries whether physical, mental, emotional, or economic, cause by said dog/puppy to any person, whether real or personal, after receiving and acknowledging delivery an possession of said dog/puppy.

The BUYER agrees that if, for an reason, he/she is unable to keep the dog at anytime during the dog's life, the dog will be returned to the SELLER who will relocate the dog to a suitable home. THIS IS AGREED TO BY THE BUYER AS A CONDITION OF THE SALE OF THE PUPPY/DOG. Furthermore, the BUYER agrees to sign the necessary papers to transfer the sole ownership of the dog back to the SELLER. This includes, but is not limited to, the AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB registration. There will be NO REPLACEMENT PUPPY OR ANY CASH REFUNDS.
