EAGLEVILLE LABS WRITTEN HEALTH GUARANTEE and BUYER'S CONTRACT

THREE DAY GUARANTEE:

This dog is guaranteed to be in good health, to the best of my knowledge at the time of this sale, and has had initial inoculations against distemper, hepatitis, para/parvo virus and received worming.  The buyer has three business days from day of purchase in which to have the dog checked by a licensed veterinarian, and is urged to do so.  If in this time frame, mortality should happen to the above mentioned puppy, the cause of which is clearly hereditary in nature (this does not include presence of parasites), then return the AKC papers and a puppy replacement/refund will be given (breeder's choice) when there is an available comparative litter, or money refund for THREE DAY guarantee of mortality, provided a letter from the examining veterinarian is offered as proof of life threatening illness.  It is agreed and understood that any exchanges must be made within the three day guarantee period. 

NO MONETARY REFUND:

The seller assumes no responsibility for this dog after leaving premises for; medical expense, mortality, landlord’s disapproval, allergic reaction to the dog, and or disagreements with family, behavioral-training difficulties, mistreatment of dog, accidental poisoning or trauma to dog, or for any other reason, no monetary refund will be given for this puppy (other than what is stated in the three day guarantee).

ONE YEAR GUARANTEE:

This dog is also guaranteed to one year of age (12 months), against any severe and or life threatening congenital heart defect (a defect so extreme that surgery is imminent for survival) within the first year of life. Should a severe life threatening heart defect occur, which is clearly hereditary in nature and seriously affect the dog’s quality of life, verify to us, with stated letter's from twolicensed veterinarian’s with medical reports confirming the defect(s) and what is recommended for the health of the dog, along with a spay/neuter verification from your vet. We may also want to converse with your veterinarian verbally and would hope that they would provide us with complete information and medical history of the dog to satisfy our questions if we should have any at that time.  We also require you to return the AKC registration papers and only then will a replacement puppy/refund be given to you after you sign the onetime replacement contract that fulfills this one-time guarantee.  

Hip dysplasia; In addition this puppy is guaranteed, until one year of age for limited registration against severe crippling hip dysplasia, described by the Orthopedic Foundation of America as the seventh level of dysplasia (dysplasia so extreme that surgery or euthanasia is indicated).  For this diagnosis, you must take your dog to your veterinarian and have x-rays taken of the hips.  You then must fill out a form for an OFA Preliminary Report, which your vet should have at their office.  These x-rays must be taken, dated and submitted before the dog’s age of 12 months.  If you have x-rays taken after the dog is 12 months old, then you void this contract and no guarantees are made for a puppy replacement/refund for this dog's hips.  The Orthopedic Foundation of America will make an informed decision within the seven levels of hip conformation.  Severe is what is covered under this contract and we must see the original OFA Preliminary (Consultation) Report.  If you fail to show us all certificates of evaluations that are requested from us for this above mentioned dog within the first year of its life, then you void this contract in lieu of Eagleville Labs from any and all liability to this contract now or in the future.  You must also show proof that your dog has been spayed/neutered with a signed and dated medical report.  Also a statement from two veterinarians that this puppy is not and never has been overweight for his/her bone structure, and you must supply medical records from your vet that shows us that you had your puppy visits to prove what the records show of the puppy’s weight.  We cannot be responsible for your lack of care for the over growth weight of your puppy.  Also show proof that the puppy has never had past injuries that may have caused dysplasia, and no evidence that this puppy was overstressed and or over exercised (or in the case of females) no breeding has taken place, during this important growth phase.  You must also be able to provide a time line pursuant to the age of your puppy with receipts for a quality large breed puppy food for their hips and joints.  We may also want to converse with your veterinarian verbally and would hope that they would provide us with complete information and medical history of the dog to satisfy our questions if we should have any at that time.  We also require you to return the AKC registration papers (if you have FULL registration) as well as show proof of that a spay/neuter procedure has been done on said dog, and only then will a replacement puppy/refund of equal value (breeder's choice) be given when the next litter of comparative value is available to you after you sign the onetime replacement contract that fulfills this one-time guarantee. 

This is limited to a one-time replacement and no further guarantees are made.  It is agreed and understood that no money refund will be given to you for any medical expense acquired, purchase of dog, nor travel cost, or any other costs acquired by you.  It is further understood and agreed that no warranty or representation has been made with respect to sold dog, except as set forth in writing in this agreement.

Eagleville Labs reserves the right to name all puppies on AKC Registration papers with the prefix “EAGLEVILLE”, if we see that you have taken our kennel name off of the registration papers, then you have VOIDED our written Health Guarantee/Buyer’s Contract from any and all liability now and forever regarding the purchased puppy.  If you in any way try to deceive Eagleville Labs and AKC by falsely attempting to gain FULL registration when you purchased LIMITED registration, PLEASE NOTE that you have willingly VOIDED our written Health Guarantee/Buyer's Contract from any and all liability now and forever regarding the puppy purchased from us and also may have lost AKC registration for you puppy completely.  Please also be informed that should any court cases be brought against any parties regarding the sale/purchase of a Eagleville Labs puppy, it must take place in Bedford County Court System of Shelbyville, TN due to the fact that said puppy was bred and purchased in this "Bedford county" area.  We will not be responsible for any travel fees or any mediation/litigation fees for you in any circumstances pertaining to any court cases regarding purchased puppy.

PLEASE NOTE:  If you sign this original agreement then you have submitted and agreed to all the terms and conditions of our contract that you will also sign Eagleville Labs Release Agreement Replacement Puppy/Refund Form that will fulfill our obligation to you from any liability now or in the future for this puppy regarding the one-time replacement/refund, if you should need to use it, due to one of the health conditions stated herein on the health guarantee of this dog within the 12 month period.
