Seller recommends that the Purchaser takes the above mentioned Border Collie to a licensed Veterinarian of Purchasers choice within a couple of days of the purchase of the above mentioned Border Collie.
In the event that a life threatening genetic defect would appear in the above mentioned Border Collie within the age of 24 months of the above mentioned Border Collie, Seller binds herself to:
A. Replace the Border Collie with one of equivalent quality from a litter bred by the Seller, if the genetic condition is sufficiently serious enough in the opinion of at least 2 qualified Veterinarians, at least one of whom is selected by the Seller, to warrant euthanasia of the Border Collie .

Seller will transfer ABCA registration papers over to the Purchaser after the Border Collie is spayed/neutered. A written request and proof from a licensed Veterinarian that the surgery was performed is required before transferring registration papers into Purchasers name.
Why should this Border Collie be spayed / neutered ? Any Border Collie sold as a pet should not be bred. This is simply for the improvement and maintenance of the breeding line for Border Collies. Breeders have striven for years to select and perfect the working ability of Border Collies. They are bred not only for their high energy levels, but their responsiveness and intelligence (which is why they have been noted as the most intelligent breed of dogs).
Working Border Collies have no physical AKC - like standards with respect to color, height, ect.. They are selected purely for their working abilities. Border Collies are eligible for a breeding program only if they are able to reproduce either their own quality or better quality in each successive generation. Breeding is not to be done casually, nor is it a moneymaking venture. It is not a hobby and is very time consuming and energy demanding. By demanding that the pet - quality Border Collie be spayed/neutered, it avoids mass-production of average quality Border Collies, controls the already overblown dog population, and improves the overall fitness of the purebred line.
If owner decides not to spay/neuter the above mentioned Border Collie, Seller will consider the above mentioned Border Collie eligible for full breeding rights if the Border Collie meets the following requirements,
A. The above mentioned Border Collie must apply for and recieve number certification from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) to be clear of hip dysplacia with a rating of Excellent, Good or Fair joint conformation.
B. The owner of the above mentioned Border Collie must obtain a letter from his/her Veterinarian stating that the dog has not been diagnosed or treated for a defect of a hereditary nature(including but not limited to diabetes, thyroid disease, autoimmune disease, epilepsy or heart disease.)
C. The above mentioned Border Collie must excell in atleast one of the following things; Herding, Obedience, Agility, or any other Service Dog related Job or Sport that will prove the dog worthy of producing a litter.
It should be understood that only purebred and good quality Border Collies with no known genetic faults be used to produce a litter. It is also important to preserve and maintain the herding ability of the Border Collie breed. With this goal in mind, the true working Border Collie breed will continue for generations to come, to be the smartest, most loyal and best herding/working dog available.
Purchaser has the right to return the above mentioned dog/puppy to Seller for a full refund within 24 hours from time and date of this agreement, providing that the above mentioned Border Collie is returned alive and uninjured with no signs of abuse or trauma.
We the , undersigned have read, understood. and agree with the terms of this contract.
