CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVERS

U.S. GUARANTEE

The purchaser understands that, even though the parents of this dog have been cleared for hip dysplasia and inherited eye disease and the breeders have made the greatest effort to avoid the risk of genetic problems, there is no method to guarantee that this dog will be free of all congenital or genetic disease.

We, the undersigned, agree to the following terms and conditions of sale.

  1. This dog is guaranteed until the age of 26 months against any major genetic or congenital defects. If, during this period, any such defects are found and confirmed by a second veterinarian of the breeder's choice, the purchaser shall have the following options.
    1. Purchaser may return the dog in exchange for a dog from the next available litter.
    2. Upon proof on neutering of the affected dog, the purchaser shall be entitled to a pup from the next available litter, while retaining possession of the affected dog.
    3. In either of the above cases, the seller will not be liable for any expenses incurred as a result of such defects unless prior arrangements have been made, in writing, by both parties. The maximum delay in taking possession of the replacement dog shall be 24 months.
  2. The above dog shall not be used for breeding purposes until both hips and eyes have been cleared by a recognized authority and the dog has reached the age of 18 months. If the dog is used for breeding contrary to these conditions, all guarantees shall be null and void and the buyer agrees to pay a penalty of $750 to the breeder for each and every time the dog is so used.
  3. The above dog cannot be sold to anyone without prior consultation with the breeders, who reserve the right to be provided with the full name and address of the purchaser.
  4. The above dog will be individually registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) at the expense of the breeder. The registration certificate will be forwarded to the purchasers as soon as received from the CKC, except when full payment for the dog or any purchased and/or loaned accessories has not been received by the breeder.
  5. The above dog must not be surrendered to any SPCA, Humane Society or other organization without express written consent from the breeders. If the dog cannot be kept by the purchasers, the breeders must be contacted and will try to make arrangements for placement. The dog may be returned to the breeder at any time. The buyer will be responsible for any transportation costs. No refund will be paid.
