The breeder will give the buyer a receipt for any payments made toward the cost of the puppy.

The breeder can choose not to give the buyer the puppy's pedigree if the breeder has not received the proof of the dog being spayed/neutered by a licensed vet prior to the puppy turning seven months of age. 

The breeder also agrees that the puppy was examined by a licensed vet and was found to be healthy prior to selling the puppy to the buyer. Also the breeder agrees that the puppy was wormed and given vaccinations appropriate for the age of the puppy while in the breeder's care, and that the puppy should never develop CEA.

The breeder will take back the dog and give the buyer a full refund of the purchase price within two weeks of the purchase date if the buyer is not satisfied with the puppy, but the buyer is to pay for the shipping if it is needed, and the puppy must be returned in the same condition in which the puppy was received by the buyer before the refund is given. The breeder will take back the dog for any reason if the buyer is unable to care for it, but will not give the buyer a refund or pay for the dog, and the buyer of the dog will pay for shipping expenses if needed.
