Color / markings: [DESCRIPTION]
Date of birth: [DATE OF BIRTH]
Microchip #: [MICROCHIP NUMBER]
Sire: [SIRE NAME]
Dam: [DAM NAME]
Registration: [REGISTRY AND NUMBER, IF ANY]

3. PURCHASE PRICE AND DEPOSIT

The total purchase price is $[PURCHASE PRICE].

The Buyer has paid a deposit of $500, which is applied toward the purchase price. This deposit is non-refundable; however, if the Buyer's preferred puppy is unavailable, or if the Buyer elects to wait, the deposit may be transferred once to a future litter at the Seller's discretion.

The remaining balance is due on or before the day the Puppy leaves the Seller's care. Payment of the balance must be made in [ACCEPTED PAYMENT METHODS].

4. VETERINARY EXAMINATION

The Buyer agrees to have the Puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian of the Buyer's choice, at the Buyer's expense, within 72 hours of taking possession. If the veterinarian finds a serious pre-existing health condition, the Buyer may return the Puppy for a refund of the purchase price (minus the deposit) or, at the Seller's option, a replacement puppy. Failure to complete this examination within 72 hours voids this remedy.

5. HEALTH GUARANTEE

The Seller certifies the Puppy is in good health at the time of transfer, current on age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming as documented in the provided health record.

The Seller guarantees the Puppy for 2 years from the date of birth against congenital or hereditary defects that materially affect the dog's quality of life, as diagnosed in writing by a licensed veterinarian. This guarantee does not cover: conditions caused by injury, neglect, or improper care after transfer; parasites; infectious illness contracted after transfer; or conditions common to the breed that do not materially impair quality of life.

If a covered condition is diagnosed, the Seller will provide [A REPLACEMENT PUPPY / A REFUND UP TO THE PURCHASE PRICE / TERMS OF YOUR CHOICE]. The Buyer is responsible for providing veterinary documentation.

6. SPAY/NEUTER AND REGISTRATION

This Puppy is sold as a companion animal only. The Buyer agrees to have the Puppy spayed or neutered by 12 months of age (or as recommended by the Buyer's veterinarian) and to provide the Seller written proof from the performing veterinarian.

Registration paperwork, if applicable, will be provided on a LIMITED basis: the dog is registered, but offspring are not eligible for registration. Registration paperwork may be withheld until proof of spay/neuter is received.

The Buyer agrees not to breed the dog. If the dog is bred in violation of this section, the Buyer agrees to pay the Seller liquidated damages of $[PENALTY AMOUNT] per litter.

7. RETURN TO SELLER

If at any point in the dog's life the Buyer cannot keep the dog, the Buyer agrees to notify the Seller first. The Seller retains first right of refusal to take the dog back. The dog may not be surrendered to a shelter, rescue, or pound, or transferred to a third party, without the Seller's written consent. Refunds are not owed on returned dogs except as provided elsewhere in this agreement.

8. BUYER RESPONSIBILITIES

The Buyer agrees to provide the dog with appropriate food, clean water, shelter, routine and emergency veterinary care, and humane treatment for the dog's lifetime. The Buyer agrees to keep the dog under control and licensed as required by local law.

9. GENERAL TERMS

This agreement is the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes prior discussions. It is governed by the laws of the State of [STATE]. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Any modification must be in writing and signed by both parties.
