CONDITIONS OF SALE

Breeder guarantees that the above-described dog is a purebred Rottweiler.  The dog is registered with the AKC (AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB).  A true copy of the pedigree has been given to the buyer.  The AKC papers will be handled as is written in this contract.  The dog will be registered with the prefix kennel name of Stoneridge or all warranties will become void.

Buyer agrees to have dog X-rayed at 24 months of age for hip and elbow dysplasia by a qualified Veterinarian.  X-ray is to be sent to OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) for evaluation.  In addition, the buyer agrees to have the dog cleared by an ophthalmologist veterinarian for eye certification and a cardiac veterinarian for heart certification.  Copies of the results are to be sent to Breeder.

Buyer accepts full responsibility for the health, proper care, the well being and behavior, of this Rottweiler.  Buyer absolves Breeder from any liabilities and/or damages by fault of this dog, including but not limited to destruction of property or physical damage to persons or animals.

Buyer agrees to take good and reasonable care of this dog; feed and house it properly, provide clean and sanitary surroundings, properly secure and control the dog in a fenced area, not tied up or allowed to run loose unattended for any reason.  In addition, the Buyer agrees that the safety of the dog is paramount.  The Buyer will not allow the dog to ride loose in the back of a pickup truck or any other vehicle and will provide proper restraint and protection for the dog in the event of an accident.  Buyer agrees to provide regular training, socialization and veterinary care.  Buyer agrees to attend with the puppy, at least 3, six-week sessions of obedience classes before one year of age.

This dog will reside with the buyer at all times.  Buyer agrees to inform Breeder in writing of any change of address.  Buyer understands the concern of the Breeder for the proper placement of this dog into a responsible home.  Buyer agrees that neither ownership nor possession of this dog shall be transferred to anyone other than the Breeder.  Transfer of ownership or possession of this dog for more than 20 days shall be a violation of this agreement, subject to the stated damages.  If circumstances require that this dog can no longer remain in the possession of the buyer, it is agreed that the dog, including AKC Registration papers, will be returned to the Breeder at the Buyers expense.

Registration forms will be furnished upon receipt of payment in full, or as soon as they are received from the AKC.  The death or loss of this dog from any cause, before the final payment has been made, shall not release the Buyer from further payments.  The title of ownership and the right of registration shall remain with the Breeder until total purchase price has been made.

It is understood that this dog is being purchased as a pet quality animal.  This dog shall not be bred and shall be neutered or spayed by one year of age.  This dog is sold on a limited registration and it is understood that any offspring produced by this dog cannot be registered with the AKC.

Buyer understands that Hip Dysplasia and Elbow Dysplasia is not solely a hereditary problem.  With the utmost thought and care this puppy’s parents were chosen.  For many generations only breeding partners whose hips have been certified by OFA have been used, to insure that this puppy has a lower chance of having Hip Dysplasia.  Buyer agrees to do their part by not allowing this puppy during the growing stages to become overweight, to roughhouse with other dogs, to force exercise (such as jogging with owner), to jump out of vehicles onto hard surfaces and to follow the recommendations of the Breeder.  If this dog develops a serious health problem that is solely hereditary by the age of 24 months that results in euthanasia, the Breeder will offer a replacement puppy from a future litter, subject to the terms of this agreement and availability.  Breeder is not responsible for any costs of care or treatment for this dog.

Buyer agrees to abide by the terms of this agreement, without exception unless changes are mutually agreed to in writing.  It is stipulated by and between the parties that failing to comply with the conditions of this agreement will result in the dog, the dog’s ownership and all AKC papers being returned permanently to the Breeder.  If any breeding, accidental or otherwise has taken place against the terms and/or conditions of this contract, this dog and AKC papers shall be immediately returned to the breeder without compensation due to the Buyer.  Buyer agrees that failure to comply with any of the terms in this agreement shall result in liquidated damages in the amount of $1000.00 per violation, without changing the terms of the agreement.  Buyer further agrees that any litigation rising from failure to comply shall take place in the area of residence of the Breeder, and the prevailing party shall recover reasonable attorney fees and court costs.

This agreement, consisting of 3 pages, is signed and dated by both parties.  Its major intent is assuring the well being of this dog, and it is in accordance with my/our understanding and I/we agree to the terms thereof.

I, the Breeder, certify that I am the owner of this dog and have good right to sell same.
