1.      The Doberman is a purebred Doberman Pinscher.

2.      The litter is registered with the American Kennel Club as indicated above and an individual registration application form will be furnished to the buyer after the breeder has received payment in full.

3.      To the best of the Breeders knowledge, this Doberman is free of communicable diseases and birth defects and that at time of sale the Doberman was in excellent health.  The Doberman has received age appropriate vaccinations and deworming.  Breeder will provide Buyer with a copy of the puppy’s medical record detailing medical treatment Doberman has received under Breeder’s care and future recommended medical needs that the Breeder feels is essential to Puppy's well being and continued good health. i.e. remaining puppy shots and heart worm medication.

4.      Both parents have been OFA Certified for hip dysphasia, either been tested DNA Clear for VWD or are clear by parentage and tested within the Normal range for Thyroid yearly.

5.      The Breeder has researched the pedigree back several generations in order to select Sires and Dams that have an excellent health history, specifically without incidence of Cardiomyopathy or Cancer..

6.      No one can Guarantee Genetics, but the Breeder guarantees that if your Doberman should die prematurely (before the age of 6) from a genetically caused health issue, the Breeder will give you another puppy from the next available litter – the only cost will be to pay the cost of cropping and shipping if the puppy cannot be picked up.

7.      Breeder will be available for the life of this Doberman to answer any questions or provide help in any way.

            FURTHER, Buyer is encouraged to take the Doberman to a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours after taking possession, for a post purchase general health examination by their own veterinarian.  If during this health exam the Doberman is found to have a serious health problem, the Buyer must return the Doberman with the Veterinarian’s written certification as to the health problem so that my vet can provide a 2^nd opinion.  Upon return of the Doberman along with the Vet certification, the buyer will receive another Doberman of equal value.  Return of the Doberman must be done within the 48 hours of Buyer’s Vet determination.

FURTHER, Breeder will not provide a refund or exchange for any Doberman which was injured or became sick after leaving the Breeders premises.  Buyers are admonished to limit the exposure of their new puppy to other dogs and outside high traffic dog areas until the puppy is at least 16 weeks old and has been given its last or third (3^rd) puppy vaccination and received a Bordetello vaccination.

FURTHER, Buyer agrees that this Doberman is NOT to be LEFT IN A BACKYARD OR KENNEL unattended.  Buyer agrees to provide a fenced back yard for the Doberman, or invisible fencing and not leave the Doberman outside unsupervised. This Doberman is being sold with the agreement that it is being placed with carefully screened parties and that Buyer PROMISED the Doberman would become a member of the family and reside indoors as a member of their family.

            FURTHER, The Buyer agrees to maintain preventative health care of the Doberman including, but not limited to:  recommended inoculations, treatment as needed for internal as well as external parasites, and monthly heart worm preventative medication.  Buyer is advised that they if they use topical parasite treatments such as Frontline and Advantage as a MONTHLY treatment protocol, it may be hazardous to your Doberman’s health and will invalidate your health guarantee.  I have personally received very many calls where liver failure has occurred within 6 months of starting the monthly use of these products.  You can use it as a single treatment should your Doberman get fleas, but I strongly advise AGAINST using it as a monthly maintenance treatment.

            FURTHER, Breeder reserves the right to remove and take possession of said Doberman from the Buyer’s premises due to demonstrated neglect or abuse by the Buyer when verified by an officer of Animal Control or the Humane Society for the County of residence.

            FURTHER, Breeder is selling this Doberman specifically for home pet/companion purposes; this Doberman has been bred to the breed standard physically and for a healthy, sound, loving temperament, which should also be naturally protective of his family and home.  This Doberman has the intelligence and aptitude to compete and win in Obedience and Agility trials.

            FURTHER, Breeder strongly recommends that Buyer enter and complete at least two, obedience classes with the Doberman and provide proper socialization opportunities for the Doberman at every opportunity while it is a Puppy.

FURTHER, the Buyer understands that the Breeder would like all puppies (if possible) to obtain a CGC, Obedience, Therapy Dog or Agility certification.  The Breeder will pay a $100 rebate for a copy of each AKC title certification provided by the Buyer in the aforementioned areas for this Doberman. A $100 rebate will also be provided for a Therapy Dog Certification and a $50 rebate for obtaining a DPCA Working Aptitude Certification (WAC) $25 rebate for Canine Good Citizen.  This is not a requirement for purchase, just a strong recommendation for validation of Doberman type and temperament.

            FURTHER, Buyer understands that some of the puppies in this litter of Dobermans are being sold with limited American Kennel Club (AKC) registration. Limited registration precludes Buyer from showing Puppy in conformation breed shows and from registering any litters produced or sired by the Doberman. Limited registration does entitle Buyer to register the Doberman with AKC and attend sanctioned obedience, agility and freestyle events.  Buyer agrees to take all measures necessary to insure that the Doberman is not mated, and does not have the opportunity to sire or deliver a litter or litters.  If a Limited Registration the Buyer agrees that The Doberman will be spayed or neutered by 18 months of age.  Buyer agrees to provide Seller with proof of spay/neuter within 18 months after purchase date as shown below.  On rare occasions the Pick of Litter Doberman may be sold with full registration.   Is this a Pick of Litter Puppy?: Yes ______   No _______   Limited Registration?: Yes _______ No _______.

            FURTHER, this is a non-transferable contract.  Buyer agrees to Breeder demand that Buyer MUST notify the Breeder immediately should the Buyer, for any reason, not be able to keep said Doberman at any point in the Doberman’s life.  In such instance, the Doberman will be returned to Breeder to be retained, placed or resold at the Breeder’s discretion.  If the Doberman is able to be resold, the re-sale price MINUS breeder’s expenses will be returned to the Buyer.  Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES may the Buyer destroy said Doberman before discussing this decision with the Breeder, except for urgent health reasons (documented by a vet) which would impact the Doberman’s quality of life.  If the Buyer violates this term of the contract Buyer will owe the Breeder the original (not actual) purchase price of the Doberman.
