**Non-Breeding Agreement / Guarantee**

Although no breeder can truly “guarantee” that a dog will be free from hereditary disorders, we DO guarantee that we have researched pedigrees and health clearances to the best of our abilities, and we can guarantee that we breed only healthy and sound dogs.

The Captain’s Labs uses only sound breeding stock to lessen the occurrence of defects considered to be hereditary. While we cannot "guarantee" that your dog will be free of genetic defects, we do guarantee that both parents were reported to be free of hip dysplasia and hereditary eye diseases at the time of the breeding. Copies of those reports will be provided if you’d like. Here are some hints to help you understand and avoid some of these problems.

Dysplasia: both hip and elbow dysplasia are influenced by hereditary factors. Note that nutritional and environmental factors also play a role in joint health. Poor nutrition and excess weight can contribute to these disorders, as can injury. Therefore, the new owner assumes part of the responsibility for the orthopedic health of their dog. As a condition of sale, you agree to feed a good quality dog food /canine diet, and you agree to keep the pup in good physical condition by allowing him or her to exercise at will. You further agree to monitor the pup/growing dog’s weight to ensure that s/he does not become overweight. We recommend that you only feed your puppy the brands of dog food listed on the puppy fact sheet (to be given to you prior to or at the time you pick up your puppy).

Monitor your puppy to make sure it receives proper exercise but does not get injured. Over or under exercising your puppy can negatively impact its health. Do not allow jumping on and off of furniture or stairs. Also, keep the puppy off of slippery or damp flooring. Your puppy will benefit from regular walks and from play sessions in your yard. Avoid strenuous exercise and do not jog your dog until he is at least 18 months old. Although “agility” is a fun sport to be involved with and offers an opportunity for team work with your dog, it is well documented that jumping can do major damage to growing joints, therefore you should not participate in “jumping” activities with your dog until s/he has reached at least 18 months old. Do not allow your puppy to roughhouse with larger or older dogs to avoid injury.

Eye Problems can be hereditary, congenital or an acquired condition resulting from a virus or accident. Some eye abnormalities have little or no effect on the dog's vision while others can cause blindness.

Incorrect bites include undershot, overshot or wry mouthed malocclusions. Most incorrect bites cause little or no problem for the dog. Do not play "tug of war" with your puppy as there is a possibility of damaging their teeth or jaw alignment.

The Captain’s Labradors are registered with the American Kennel Club. Our companion puppies are sold with AKC limited registration (non-breeding). If the dog is registered with AKC the dogs name MUST start with The Captain’s. If this is not done the health guarantee is void. When the puppies go to their new homes their vaccinations and worming schedules are up to date and they have been microchipped for identification.

We suggest (not require) that the puppy buyer take the new puppy to their own veterinarian within 7 days to be examined. If, FOR ANY REASON, the veterinarian is not happy with the puppy, we will replace the puppy or refund the purchase price upon the return of the puppy.

If your puppy / dog is diagnosed with debilitating / hereditary hip or elbow dysplasia or an eye disease that will affect the dogs’ quality of life, before the age of 30 months, and proof is provided for review by our veterinarian/s, you have the option of returning the pup/dog for a replacement puppy or refund of your full purchase price. Shipping / transport costs will not be reimbursed. A second option would be to have 1/2 of the purchase price refunded, and the puppy/dog can then remain with you for the balance of his/her lifetime. Debilitating hip and elbow dysplasia, for our purposes, shall be defined as grade II or III elbow dysplasia, moderate to severe hip dysplasia).

As a condition of our guarantee, we require that you inform us of the diagnosis within 10 days of the findings. You further agree to forward test results to allow us / our veterinarian(s) a chance to review the x-rays or other diagnostic tests prior to your puppy /dog having corrective surgery or other major treatments or major decisions are made regarding the care of puppy / dog as a result of this information. We reserve this right to seek a second opinion in order to be certain that the elected treatment is in the best interest of the puppy. Failure to comply with this will void this guarantee.

If at any time in the puppies life you are unable to keep him or her, you agree to contact us, (we have the 1st right of refusal) so we can assist you in finding a new home. We always want to know where our puppies / dogs are throughout their lifetimes.

By signing below you are acknowledging that you have read this document in it’s entirety and agree to the terms of this contract, including agreeing to spay or neuter the pup prior to him or her being bred / producing puppies.
