LiveWire Labradors Sales Guarantee/Contract
Holding Agreement:A deposit of $250 is required to hold your puppy. The seller assigns the buyer the guarantee that the puppy will not be sold to any party other than the buyer as long as the buyer adheres to the Picking Up Your Puppy guidelines. The $250 deposit is non-refundable and will be applied to the purchase price of the puppy when the buyer assumes physical possession of the assigned puppy. The remaining balance must be paid in full when picking up the puppy or prior to shipping. NO PERSONAL CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED THE DAY OF PICKUP!!!!
Picking Up Your Puppy:Your assigned puppy needs to be picked up between 8 and 9 weeks of age. If your puppy is not picked up by the end of the 9th week and no prior arrangements have been made with the seller, LiveWire Labradors has the right to void the Puppy's Sales Contract and find another buyer. If prior arrangements have been made they will be so noted at the end of this contract in Other. All fees are to be paid in full before the puppy will be released to the buyer. Shipping is available at an additional charge which includes the health certificate. Puppies cannot be shipped until at least 8 weeks of age.
Pet/Companion:This Labrador retriever CANNOT be used for breeding. Puppies will be sold with a limited AKC registration. Puppies must be spayed or neutered with a copy sent to LiveWire Labradors before the puppy is 9 months old. Otherwise, we have the right to come take the Labrador Retriever for breach of contract and all guarantees are null/void without return of any money. LiveWire Labradors does not guarantee their ability to hunt.
First Right Of Recovery:If buyer is unable to care for or chooses to change his/her mind about caring for the puppy purchased, LiveWire Labradors retains the right of recovery of the puppy at the buyer's expense(MEANING shipping or getting the pup/dog back to us). The buyer must notify LiveWire Labradors of the change in circumstances and give the seller first right to the dog before any other action is taken. This includes and is not limited to selling the dog to another buyer without written consent/approval from LiveWire Labradors. The original purchase price of the dog is NON-refundable even if there is nothing wrong with the puppy/dog and the buyer is just unwilling or unable to care for the animal. Buyer(s) agrees to release and hold LiveWire Labradors harmless for any emotional stress potentially caused and all liability, damages or injuries caused directly or indirectly by the Labrador to any person, whether actual or legal, or to any property, whether physical, mental, emotional or economic caused by the Labrador beginning as soon as the pup leaves LiveWire Labradors property. If for any reason the buyer is not able to keep this pup/dog, it must be returned to LiveWire Labradors with all necessary paperwork signed and turned over, unless other arrangements are made between the buyer and LiveWire Labradors first. This pup must NEVER be sold to a pet store, broker, puppy mill, surrendered to a shelter or sold outright to anyone. LiveWire Labradors must be notified immediately of any problems that arise or if the buyer cannot care for the puppy/dog anymore. Again, if the above mentioned is not followed, LiveWire Labradors has the right to take the buyer to court for $2000 plus court costs for breach of contract. We love our dogs, care for our dogs and want to be notified immediately if you need help with them, cannot afford them or no longer can care for them. We understand that things in life happen, but we want our dogs back home with us if you can no longer keep them anymore for whatever reason.
Guarantee:Puppies are to be in good condition for the first 72 hours after the time the purchaser assumes physical possession of the puppy. The buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian at buyers' expense within the first 72 hours after the purchaser takes possession of the puppy.
Viral/bacterial colds or infections such as Coccidia or Giardia(bloody stools) are a form of worms which are easily treated and are not covered in the health guarantee, as they are natural things puppies can pick up. Puppies are naturally at risk for Coccidia, Giardia and worms which are often brought on by the stress of a new home, new food, new people or just a change in their environment. Umbilical hernias, also referred to as 'outie belly buttons' are also not covered in the health guarantee.
Another thing that may show up when a puppy is taken to a new environment is kennel cough (Bordatella- a raspy cough may be signs of this) which is common when puppies are transported to their new homes and is usually caused by bacteria. Kennel cough is self-limiting and like the common cold, it must run its course.
Full recovery is expected and kennel cough, Coccidia and Giardia on their own are not life threatening. All puppies are treated and vaccinated for distemper, parvovirus, Coccidia, Giardia and worms before they leave our kennel. However, you need to be aware that these things can arise and they usually are not serious (even though seeing blood in the stool appears serious). These are easily treated and treatment of these are not covered in the health guarantee.
LiveWire Labradors gives a 2 year hip guarantee that covers the genetic/hereditary disease known as hip dysplasia. If the puppy/dog does not pass (severe hip dysplasia) OFA certification between the age of 20-24 months with a borderline or better rating or equivalent from the OFA/OVC, a copy of the written report is to be sent to LiveWire Labradors. The Labrador retriever is to be spayed or neutered if not previously done and then is to be returned to LiveWire Labradors for a replacement pup out of a future litter. LiveWire Labradors is NOT responsible for any veterinary bills or surgeries while the pup is in the buyer's possession if anything arises that is health or genetic related. LiveWire Labradors will give the purchaser a credit amount (at no time is money to be refunded) of the original purchase price of the said Labrador retriever. This credit can be used towards another Labrador from the next available litter. The pup must be of equal value and the same sex from LiveWire Labradors only and that is it. LiveWire Labradors will honor credit only once. Proof of spay or neuter from a veterinarian is to be sent to LiveWire Labradors beforehand. ***If next pup is from a more expensive litter, credit of purchase price will be applied and remaining balance will need to be paid by purchaser.***
***LiveWire Labradors reserves the right to request a second opinion from another licensed veterinarian or specialized professional of LiveWire Labradors choice at the buyer’s expense. Not all veterinarians know how to properly obtain hip x-rays. We suggest you call beforehand for vets who do specialize in this so it can be done correctly. Results from the second opinion will be sent to another certifying agency (OFA/OVC) and the best rating will be taken.
The buyer(s) shall provide proper nutrition, veterinary care, shelter and exercise. LiveWire Labradors has the right to come onto the property and check on the Labrador retriever at any time. If the dog is found to be neglected or abused, LiveWire Labradors has the right to take the dog without payment or replacement! All our pups/dogs should be provided with fresh water at all times, quality food, dry insulated shelter and shade in the summertime. It is a privilege to own such an animal. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect to my animals. The pup shall be socialized properly after all immunizations are given, to include other people outside the family, other dogs and strange places. Obedience classes are recommended before the pup is 12 months old. Also, keep a Labrador reference book on hand at all times to refer back to. Please call with any questions, we want to help you.
Registration:All puppies are sold with AKC limited registration papers unless contracted otherwise. LiveWire Labradors will require the buyer to provide a statement from your veterinarian proving that your puppy has been spayed/neutered by the age of 9 months. No exceptions! (unless contracted otherwise) Failure to do so gives LiveWire Labradors the right to regain possession of the above said puppy/dog with NO MONEY RETURNED.
All of our puppies are guaranteed to be purebred. After the buyer assumes physical possession, LiveWire Labradors holds no responsibility for the puppy other than that declared on the above noted guarantee.
Responsibilities:Buyer(s) agree to release and hold harmless LiveWire Labradors for any and all liability, damages, settlements, judgements or injuries caused directly or indirectly by the Labrador to any person, whether actual or legal, or to any property, whether physical, mental, emotional or economic caused by the Labrador beginning as soon as the pup leaves LiveWire Labradors property. LiveWire Labradors also does not warranty/guarantee (expressed or implied) the future temperament or personality of the said dog. LiveWire Labradors works hard to breed the finest Labradors with regard to bloodline, confirmation and temperament. However, each dog is an individual and a product of their new environment and trainer. How the new owner chooses to raise this dog will be a major determining factor regarding its temperament, personality and the future of this breed as a whole. You are solely responsible for socializing and training properly. The environment and other situations that you introduce your dog to, voluntary or involuntary, and how you handle them in those situations, as well as letting others treat and handle your dog is YOUR responsibility. Your pup must NEVER be hit, pushed, spanked, isolated for long periods of time or disciplined in a negative/harsh manner (though correction is a must when doing something that is not wanted). Obedience classes are highly recommended with a trainer who knows the Labrador retriever breed and is a credited trainer.
