TERMS OF SALE AND GUARANTEE
Your Captain's Kennels puppy comes with a 30 month "guarantee" against hereditary hip and elbow dysplasia, retinal dysplasia, and PRA (progressive retinal atrophy). Although none of us can truly guarantee that a pup will not be afflicted with hip dysplasia, Progressive Retinal Atrophy or other hereditary diseases, we can guarantee that we have bred only sound dogs and have researched the pedigrees to the best of our abilities.
Your Captain's Kennels puppy is eligible for American Kennel Cub ("AKC") registration, and we will provide you with the AKC registration forms needed to register your pup. It is up to you to submit the forms to the AKC in a timely manner for the purposes of registration. Upon receipt of the puppy, s/he will be eligible for AKC Limited Registration. What this means is that s/he will be registered as purebred and be eligible to compete in AKC events (with the exception of conformation), including but not limited to obedience trials, hunt tests, agility, etc. S/he WILL NOT be eligible for breeding with limited registration.
If you are interested in using your dog for breeding the following conditions must be met. Note that only after ALL of these conditions are met will we provide paperwork for change in status to full registration:

We recommend (but do not require) that you, as the new puppy owner, take the newly arrived puppy to your veterinarian within three (3) working days of receipt of the pup for a "well puppy" check-up to make sure the pup is healthy and sound at the time you receive the pup.
