The breeder and buyer have entered into an agreement to transfer the ownership of this Mastiff puppy, all indicated above, and agree to the following conditions set down for the betterment of the breed, the protection of this Mastiff, and the reputation of the Breeder's kennel. Such basic conditions are as follows:
1. This Mastiff will be treated as a member of the family. This Mastiff is to be a companion and not left unattended or neglected. This Mastiff will never be trained as a guard or attack dog, or used for the purpose of fighting or any other sport detrimental to the breed and it's reputation.
2. This Mastiff will be provided with quality food, fresh water, qualified veterinary care, proper shelter from heat or cold, active companionship, appropriate exercise, regular training and socialization. Ample quality time will be given to this Mastiff.
3. The Breeder's kennel name, Kitan, will be the prefix to the AKC registered name of this Mastiff. It is the Buyer's responsibility to register this Mastiff with the AKC within 6 months of taking possession of this Mastiff. Neither this dog nor any offspring produced by this dog shall ever be registered with any other canine registry other then the American Kennel Club (AKC) or the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), or the appropriate registry for the country of export.
4. Contact information shall always be kept up to date. The Breeder and Buyer will notify each other if there is a change of address, email or phone number.
5. Notification will be given before transfer of ownership of this Mastiff. If at any time during this Mastiff's life the Buyer decides to sell or give him away, the Buyer agrees to notify the Breeder and give her first right of refusal. The Breeder will at any time take this Mastiff back if asked to do so, with no further questions required of the Buyer.
6. For the protection of the breed, the health and well being of this Mastiff dog, and the protection of the Mastiff population, the Buyer hereby agrees: The Buyer will consider the health and temperament of this dog before allowing him to be bred. The Buyer shall never breed this Mastiff to any other than a respectable specimen of his own breed, always keeping in mind the betterment of the breed, always striving to improve the breed and to reduce genetic faults. The Buyer agrees to not knowingly breed this dog to any known puppy mill, broker, or pet shop bitch; nor be used to sire litters for the purpose of producing puppies for the same. It shall be the stud dog owner responsibility to check the reputability of the bitch owner before breeding takes place. Should question arise as to the reputability of the bitch owner, the Buyer will not breed this Mastiff to the bitch.
6.a. The Breeder retains breeding rights to this Mastiff for any bitch owned or co-owned by the Breeder, for the purpose of keeping the bloodline available. There will be no monetary compensation for this service. The Breeder will be responsible for any and all costs associated with the breeding. (* this is optional/negotiable, and may or may not be included in the individual puppy's signed contract.)
7. Guarantee by the Breeder: The Buyer is hereby granted a guarantee against serious congenital or genetic defects until the dog reaches twenty six months of age, up to and at which time this Mastiff can be officially tested. Should the puppy develop any condition within this time frame, if it is conclusive that the congenital or genetic defect is in fact a hereditary condition that was not contributed to through the Buyer's care and environment and that this condition could not have been avoided; it will be replaced with another upon first availability; or, by mutual agreement, the Breeder will provide a partial refund of the purchase price upon proof that the dog has been neutered. Proof of defect must be in the form of a veterinarian's certificate or OFA's evaluation so stating and the certificate must be accompanied by x-rays, full medical history and findings.
8. The buyer has the right, and is advised to do so, to have this Mastiff examined by a veterinarian within 5 working days of possession of this puppy. If the veterinarian determines that the Mastiff is not in good health, the Breeder will, upon return of the puppy and all relevant papers, immediately refund the purchase price.
The Breeder sells this Mastiff, believing in good faith that the Mastiff is a healthy and respectable compliment to its breed. The Breeder further agrees to offer guidance to the Buyer in the rearing of this Mastiff.
We, the Breeder and the Buyer, do hereby acknowledge this to be a true and binding contract. We agree, and make absolute promise, to fully abide by its terms and conditions.
