This dog must be spayed or neutered before 12 months of age and failure to have this done will void the health warranty.  Proof of spay/neuter must be provided to Shelly Buhlman within 30 days of procedure being completed to maintain your warranty.  Failure to have this dog spayed or neutered prior to 12 months of age will require purchaser to pay seller five times the purchase price.  Proof of spaying/neutering by 12 months of age must accompany any request for warranty reimbursement.  This puppy is being sold as a family pet and does not convey with breeding rights. If this puppy is bred, the purchaser agrees to pay the seller ten times the purchase price of this puppy for every litter produced.  All legal fees to enforce this contract will be the responsibility of the buyer.

 

Under no circumstances shall the Seller be liable to the Buyer or to any third party for a dog that has been subjected to abuse, accident, negligence or misuse.  Also, under no circumstances shall the Seller be liable for any consequential incidental or special damages resulting from or in any manner related to the dog.
