TERMS OF SALE AND GUARANTEE
Your Dal-Rhe puppy comes with a 28 month "guarantee" against hereditary hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as a 28 month guarantee covering hereditary blinding/sight impairing eye disease. Although none of us can truly guarantee that a pup will not be afflicted with these disorders, or with any 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 Dal-Rhe 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.
The adopter agrees:
*To keep all vaccinations, heartworm preventative, & other veterinary necessities current.
* To provide proper nutrition, adequate exercise, and necessary grooming.
* To take good care of the dog and protect him from abuse and neglect.
* To insure that when outside and unattended, the dog is in a secure fenced yard or kennel run with adequate shelter from the elements.

4) The dog must have earned at least one AKC (American Kennel Club) or CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) title which will appear on the pedigree (I.E. CD, JH, etc.). Note that WC, therapy dog certificates, and CGC certificates are not considered titles, as they do not appear on the AKC or CKC pedigrees).
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. If the pup is found to be unsound or unhealthy at the time of arrival, the pup can be returned at your expense with a written explanation from your veterinarian along with paperwork for a full refund. Any and all veterinary fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
