Summerwind Sales and Health Contract

**Please Read**

 

All puppies and adults are as accurately described as possible and are guaranteed to be healthy and "as we have represented" at the time of the sale. Our animals are priced according to pedigree, quality, breeding history and/or possible future potential. We make no guarantees implied or otherwise that any animal sold will gain any type of show title, but that they exhibit certain potential and a possibility of doing so based on our evaluation at the time of the sale. We do not guarantee size or color . All puppies not shown are sold with a spay/neuter contract. Any known conformation faults for show puppies sold on a show contract will be discussed with the buyer before a puppy is purchased. If, for any reason, the owner can not keep the puppy/dog, the puppy/dog must be returned to Summerwind Kennel at the owner's expense. Summerwind's puppies/dogs have a lifetime home here at Summerwind Kennel. Our puppies are NOT sold for resale

DEPOSITS: A non-refundable deposit of half the total price will hold the puppy of your choice until puppy is weaned. Full and final payment is required on puppies that are 6 wks and older. If final payment has not been made by the time the puppy is 6 wks old the deposit will be lost. If shipping or other arrangements are not made by 9-10 wks of age or a puppy/dog is not picked up at it's scheduled time to leave a boarding and maintenance fee of $15.00 per day will be added to the sales price and must be paid before the adult or puppy leaves to it's new home. Summerwind Kennel does not refund money for purchased puppies that are not picked up or taken by their new owners. Once a puppy or dogs is purchased it is the new owners responsibility to pick it up and to provide a clean and healthy environment and to give their new pet love and attention. Again, if a puppy/adult  from Summerwind Kennel can not be cared for in this manor they will always have a home with us and must be returned at the owner's expense. We do not give refunds for buyer's remorse. It is a new owners responsibility to make sure they are ready for a new pet and educated in making their decision to welcome a new family member into their home.

When reserving unborn puppies, the same  non-refundable deposit will be required. That deposit will be  applied toward the purchase of another dog or puppy in the event that the desired puppy is not born, or is not available. The deposit will not be refunded for puppies due to cancellations.

Summerwind Kennel reserves the right to determine when a puppy/dog is ready to go to it's new family. We reserve the right to retain the registry regardless of deposit if we feel the puppy does not meet certain AKC standards. If the puppy is retained Limited for any reason after a deposit is made, you may apply it toward the purchase of another puppy/adult or reserve a puppy from a future litter. In no event will the deposit be returned.
 

Puppies are shipped at 9-10 weeks old as a courtesy to our clients unless other arrangements have been made. It is the responsibility of the new owner to arrange shipping although we can help with recommendations and arrangement as a courtesy. They will have had all veterinarian recommended vaccines and dewormings. At the time of placement in its new home the puppy or adult will be weaned from it's dam and eating Hills Science Diet Puppy (dry) chicken and barley (small bites) food.

Any puppy/dog leaving Summerwind Kennel will be healthy and have been checked by our vet. We take every precaution to insure the safety of all of our animals, but because we have no control over the animal once it leaves our kennel, Summerwind Kennel accepts no responsibility for death or illness of animals which may be brought on by/ or as a direct result of shipping or exposure to other animals and environments. We do guarantee the health of the puppy for 72 hours after purchase and the puppy must be seen by a veterinarian within the 72 hours after leaving Summerwind Kennel. If the puppy dies or becomes sick from an illness within the 72 hour guarantee time, Summerwind will replace the puppy only after an examination made by a Summerwind Kennel veterinarian. All AKC papers and medical records must be returned with the puppy. The puppy must be returned to Summerwind Kennel at the expense of the buyer. Any claims as a result of this guarantee must be made within the 72 hour time period, accompanied by a veterinary statement. This guarantee does not cover well puppy visits, regular vaccines, deworming, breed related issues including retained testicles, or any other veterinary care/ medications.

All puppies are guaranteed against life threatening hereditary or life threatening genetic defects until one year of age. If a puppy develops a life threatening hereditary or life threatening genetic defect and it is documented by a licensed veterinarian, has been tested for such defects and confirmed by one of our veterinarians or veterinarian of our choice we will replace that puppy/dog with another puppy of equal value. No refunds. The effected puppy must be returned with all AKC registration and documentation at buyers expense.
