YOUR PUPPY IS GUARANTEED AS FOLLOWS:
1.) _______ This puppy is guaranteed to be in good physical condition at the time of sale. It is
the buyers responsibility to take the puppy to the vet within 72 hours that the puppy is in
your possession for the guarantee to be valid. If the Veterinarian finds the puppy to have a
serious physical condition OTHER THAN a viral or bacterial cold or bacterial infection, such as
Coccidia or Giardia, which is easily treated, the seller will replace the puppy with another
puppy of comparable or better quality, when available from same or upcoming litter, after
the first puppy is returned to the seller. The seller reserves the right to a second Veterinarian
opinion at the expense of The seller. If the puppy is not examined within the 72 hours by a
licensed Veterinarian, all guarantees listed are not valid. No monies will be refunded. Puppies
are at risk for Coccidia and Giardia (bloody stools) which is often brought on by stress of
shipping, a new home, new food, new people, change of climate or surroundings, etc.
2.) _______ This puppy will be free from genetic/hereditary defects that cause death or serious
impairment of the vital functions in the puppy until said puppy is one year of age. If such an
inheritable disease is documented by a Veterinarian and presented to the Seller with sufficient
supporting evidence, the buyer will be entitled to a replacement puppy of comparable quality,
when one is available, after the first puppy is returned to the Seller. We, the sellers, do not
agree to compensate the buyer for any veterinarian expenses. Failure to return the puppy to
the seller within 7 days is construed to reflect that the buyer is satisfied with the puppy's
health and absolves the seller from responsibility from that day forward for non-genetic
illnesses or problems.
3.) _______ If a puppy dies from a genetic or hereditary defect, a necropsy and full report will
be needed and sent to Berkshire Bulldogges. There are no refunds in part or in full, only
replacement puppies will be given. The following terms are a few examples of conditions not
covered in the congenital/hereditary health guarantee...mites, coccidia, pneumonia,
heatstroke, ringworm, conjunctivitis, fleas, ticks and ear infections once the puppy has left
the sellers hands.
4.) _______ This guarantee does not cover what in the bulldog breed, we consider normal or
beyond our control i.e.: Cherry Eyes, entropian, "loose hips", stenoic nares, skin allergies, such
as Demodectic Mange, or an Umbilical Hernia. We do not breed dogs with undesirable
conditions such as mange or bad hips, but we cannot guarantee that previous generations did
not have these conditions in their lines; therefore, we cannot guarantee these conditions will
not show up in future litters.
5.) _______ When you purchase your puppy, he or she has received all necessary vaccinations.
The buyer(s) agrees to provide annual vet exams, including heartworm checks and
preventatives and to do all vaccinations yearly. Failure to comply with and provide
documentation of these requirements voids all guarantees. The buyer further warrants that
puppy will be kept in appropriate conditions for its health and welfare. Puppy will be fed a
suitable diet for its age and condition. Puppies will be started on Wellness Super5mix Puppy
food while in my care. Buyer should continue to feed this or other high quality puppy food
for the first year, then Buyer should switch to a comparable adult formula. Feeding
substandard dog food may compromise your dogs health. Puppy will receive regular booster
vaccinations. Puppy will receive all necessary veterinary care to maintain its good health.
6.) _______ Your puppy will receive deworming at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age and their first
set of puppy shots. You are responsible for any vaccinations after receiving your puppy.
7.) _______ No replacement for temperament as this is environmental and buyers responsibility.
As responsible breeders, we expect this puppy to be socialized and attend a puppy obedience
class. As the breeder, I do everything possible to breed dogs of sound mind, and body.
Responsibility is the buyers to properly socialize, feed, exercise and train this puppy.
8.) _______ If at anytime the Buyer is unable or unwilling to care for this dog, Buyer agrees to
contact and return said puppy to Seller. Neither refund or replacement of puppy will be
given.
9.) _______ Puppy is being sold on a SPAY/NEUTER contract with LIMITED registration (unless
otherwise discussed) which will permit this puppy to be registered through the AKC, CKC
and/or IOEBA, but denies registration privileges to any offspring of this dog and is the sellers
confirmation that this puppy is intended as a family pet and not for breeding.
10.) _______ When registering this puppy, you agree to use the kennel name "Bay State Bullies"
as the kennel prefix in the registered name of the puppy.
11.) ______If irresolvable conflicts arise, and court proceedings are deemed necessary, both
parties agree that disputes or claims will be done in the state of Massachusetts, in Berkshire
County. Tara Fortin (Bay State Bullies) will not be held responsible for any court or legal fees
incurred by the buyer.
The Buyer and the Seller agree that this is the full and complete agreement that exists
between the parties for the sale of this Bulldog. Any agreements made before this are
considered incorporated herein and any modifications made to this agreement shall be made
in writing or such shall not be effective. I, Tara Fortin as the breeder, have the right to
terminate this contract at any time for any reason. I have read and fully understand this
agreement:
