The puppy’s sire and dam are both free of hip dysplasia. The puppy is expected to be free of hereditary crippling hip dysplasia, however, no guarantee of such is or can be made, or intended herein because of the fact it is a polygenetic disorder.

GENERAL
Due to the large size to which our dogs grow and to the variety and quality of available dog foods, we require that ALL of our dogs be kept on NuVet Labs nutritional supplement, "NuVet Plus Canine" at least until the age of 3 years. This supplement can be ordered from NuVet Labs at 1-800-474-7044 using order code #42171. A monthly report is sent to Johnson Farms by NuVet Labs detailing which of our dogs is being supplemented with "NuVet Plus Canine". Failure to keep your pet on this supplement will render all guarantees null and void. Initials:________ Date:___________
Buyer is not required to return dog to Seller to obtain a refund under this section. Seller will not guarantee the hips of a female puppy which is bred before two years of age. This guarantee will become void if hip problems arise due to owner's neglect to follow the written guidelines from seller concerning precautionary measures one must follow to avoid hip problems or due to any injury sustained while in buyer's possession.
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
Registration papers will be furnished to Buyer upon receipt from the A.K.C. and when complete payment is made for the puppy. If payment is made by personal check or money-order, the registration papers will be held until the check/money-order has cleared. The Buyer has the option of naming their new dog with the exception that all puppies carry the kennel name "Johnson Farms" in front of their A.K.C. registered name. Buyer agrees to register this dog in accordance with the time limits specified by the A.K.C. If Buyer fails to use "Johnson Farms" in front or behind of the registered name or to register dog in accordance with this paragraph, all guarantees made by Seller in this contract will become void.
GENERAL AGREEMENT TERMS
Buyer agrees to not tie out or chain this puppy unless supervised for the duration by an adult. If this puppy cannot be kept for any reason, the dog will be given back to the Seller. Buyer agrees to supply and transfer all corresponding registration papers and to supply a current health certificate at the time of delivery. Should the dog be sold elsewhere or ownership transferred from original buyer, this contract would become void (this contract is non-transferable). Buyer agrees to provide this dog with adequate nutrition and a full round of available annual vaccinations. Buyer agrees to feed LARGE BREED puppy food until puppy reaches 4 months old, at that time the puppy should be put on a high quality ADULT FOOD diet. Buyer agrees not to feed the puppy/dog a ‘raw,’ ‘BARF,’ vegetable, or home-cooked diet that is hard to guarantee the correct vitamins and minerals of. Buyer agrees not to mistreat this dog in any shape or form nor allow any type of laboratory tests (such as cosmetic or medical experiments) to be performed on him/her. Because these dogs grow very rapidly and will be very large is a necessity that they live at least 60% of their time outside. Slick floors are terrible on the hips of growing puppies.
