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.

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. This Mastiff shall never be registered with any other canine registry other then the American Kennel Club.
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. This Mastiff is being sold with a neuter agreement and must be spayed or neutered between 15 months and 2 years old. Documented proof must be supplied.
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 and accompanied with #6., the Breeder will provide a partial refund of the purchase price.
Proof of the 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.
This guarantee is nil and void if calcium supplementation has been given.
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.
