PURCHASE CONTRACT

________________________________________(Name), __________________________________________(Street Address), ___________________________(City), _____(State)  _______(Zip), ____________________(Telephone), hereinafter referred to as Buyer, has purchased a Shih Tzu puppy from Lisa Finch d/b/a Britteli Kennel, hereinafter referred to as Seller, as described here:
Sire:  AKC #:
Dam:  AKC #
Puppy Sex: Puppy Color:
AKC Litter #: Date of Birth:

and agrees to the following as outlined in this Guarantee and Sales Contract:

The dog is purebred and the pedigree is correct.  The dog is eligible for "full registration" with the AKC.  This means that progeny produced by this dog are eligible for registration with the AKC and that this dog can be entered in AKC conformation shows as well as compete in obedience trials.

The health of this animal is guaranteed against any preventable life-threatening disease for 3 business days after delivery to the buyer provided the animal is examined during that time by a licensed veterinarian at the expense of the buyer. If the dog is found to have a preventable life-threatening disease and written documentation of the condition is presented, the seller has the option, provided the dog and its registration papers are returned within 3 business days after diagnosis, to either:

a) replace the dog with the next available like prospect or mutually agreeable animal or

b) refund 100% of the purchase price, excluding any shipping charges.

This animal is guaranteed to be free of hereditary crippling defects visible by 6 months of age. Determination of what constitutes a hereditary defect is to be by the unanimous agreement of two (2) veterinarians agreeable to both parties. Costs of the opinions are to be assumed by the buyer. If the dog is found to have any hereditary crippling defect, the seller has the option, provided the living dog and its registration papers are returned to the seller, to either:

a) replace the dog with the next available like prospect or mutually agreeable animal or

b) refund 100% of the purchase price, excluding any shipping charges.

This animal is guaranteed to be free of hereditary life-threatening defects which result in the death of the animal prior to 2 years of age. Determination of what constitutes a hereditary defect is to be by the unanimous agreement of two (2) veterinarians agreeable to both parties. Costs of the opinions are to be assumed by the buyer. If the dog is found to have any hereditary life-threatening defect which results in the death of the animal prior to 2 years of age, seller has the option to either:

a) replace the dog with the next available like prospect or mutually agreeable animal or

b) refund 100% of the purchase price, excluding any shipping charges.

*Umbilical hernias and pinched nostrils are very common among the Shih Tzu breed and are not a genetic hereditary or life threatening condition, therefore are not bound by this contract. Shih Tzu puppies commonly snore, snort, sniffle or bubble. These symptoms are of no cause for concern if the nasal discharge is clear and the pup seems happy. When a puppy is teething these symptoms may increase. Slightly pinched nostrils are very common in this breed and normally correct themselves as the pup matures.  Open fontanelles (soft spots in the skull) are also relatively common.

*****



Adult sizes and colors are an estimate only, based on the seller's experience. Since a puppy's color and size can change drastically until 18 months of age, there are absolutely NO size or color guarantees made.

*****



Buyer agrees to provide annual veterinary checkups, keeping all immunizations current according to AVMA guidelines; to provide adequate housing according to state law; to confine the dog in a fenced yard or kennel run so that they shall not run free, or walk on a leash but not restrain on a rope or chain.  We do prefer that our dogs are kept in the home.  Buyer must also take dog to initial 72 hour exam or contract is null and void.

Breeding responsibilities:  This puppy is not to be bred prior to its first birthday and then only upon Veterinarian certification of certain factors that affect the Shih Tzu.  I have listed below problems and places where certification can be sent.

GENETIC TESTING FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS IN SHIH TZU
