- Each
puppy or adult sold should be accompanied by an AKC registration form
(unless buyer and seller have both signed an agreement that AKC registration
should be withheld), a correct, signed pedigree, and a complete health
record. If the seller has not received the registration application for
the puppy,
he shall provide written identification to include the breed, the names
and registration numbers of the sire and dam, breeder, and date of birth
of the
puppy. Also, a statement that the registration will be forwarded as soon
as possible, but in no event should it be later than 90 days from the
sale unless this is agreed upon, in writing, by both buyer and seller.
- Each puppy or adult
sold should also be accompanied by the following:
a.
A written contract of sale, listing the conditions of sale, health
guarantees, and
clauses for possible or replacement or remuneration in exchange for the
animal.
b.
Written proof that both parents were x-rayed and certified clear of
hip dysplasia
and that both parents were checked and found to be clear of hereditary
eye
diseases by a veterinary ophthalmologist within one year prior to the
breeding
producing the offspring in question.

The
health record should list the dates of vaccinations for Distemper,
Hepatitis, Leptospirosis,
and Parvo Virus. No puppy should
be sold without
having received at least one vaccination for DHL & Parvo Virus --
a veterinarian's certificate will provide proof of this. Also listed
on the
health record
should be dates of worming and any other pertinent information regarding
dates of seasons, rabies vaccinations, heartworm check, medications,
and complete medical history.
-
The
guarantee included in the contract of sale normally requires that the
animal be examined by a veterinarian within 48 hours of the sale for
condition of general health. On written request from the vet, the guarantee
should be extended an additional five days. If during this period, the
vet deems the animal unsuitable for reasons of health, it should be exchangeable
for a second animal or a total refund.
-
The
buyer should make his needs clear and precise to the seller. Do not
request a pet quality puppy if one has any intentions of breeding the
animal.
-
The
buyer should not purchase any animal without a written sales agreement
specifying conditions of sale and guarantees. If paying the price of
a show potential/breeding quality animal, one should obtain a written
statement
that a refund or replacement animal will be given in the event of hereditary
diseases or disqualifying faults in exchange for the afflicted animal.
