It should be noted that this contract defines the responsibilities of the buyer and the seller and that it is written for the sole purpose of protecting the Rottweiler breed and the well being of the puppy. It is hereby agreed by both parties that the following conditions will be met and that no other warranties or conditions are either expressed or implied:
1. This animal is being sold as a Pet Quality/Non-breeding Rottweiler. This animal is being sold on a Limited Registration because it does not meet the breeders’ standards of a show animal at this age. Please note this can change with age and the breeder can upgrade to full registration if at 2 years of age the said dog is shown, receives V rating under 2 FCI judges, an American or Canadian championship, or other title approved by the breeder. The hips and elbows must also be cleared through OFA or OVC.

3. Feeding:
Our puppies are fed Orijen All Breed puppy kibble combined with a balanced raw diet. It is recommended if feeding a strictly kibble diet to feed Solid Gold, Timberwolf, Innova EVO, Canidae or Orijen. This is not mandatory as many puppies do well on other types of kibble.
4. Temperament Development:
The temperament in Rottweilers is largely determined by the genetic traits passed on to it by the parents. That is why we are firm believers in selective breeding for conformation and working ability. We want dogs that are protective in nature yet good around children, family, and friends. We feel that temperament and socialization are directly related to each other. In this regards, we spend a great deal of time socializing our puppies. Everyday the puppies experience human interaction and are put in different situations such as exposing them to different floor materials, varying noise levels, both with and without their littermates. We observe their actions and base further temperament assessment on their progress. It must be pointed out that Schutzhund training, agility training, obedience training, protection training, carting training, weight pulling training, therapy work training, and tracking training, etc. are just that - training. No dog can just walk on a field and do these things. They must be trained, and trained correctly. We can sell you a dog with a good potential to do these things, but it is up to you to develop this potential in your dog.
5. This animal shall not be used for breeding purposes unless deemed so by the seller.

Failure to comply will nullify and make void all warrantees in this contract.
