Courage
(THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM OUR SALE CONTRACT)
If this dog is not able to obtain an acceptable Penn hip evaluation or OFA before 30 months
(due to poor structure, not due to injury) upon reading Penn Hip registry or OFA, then Jane Gentzen / Courage Rhodesian Ridgebacks will replace this dog with another pet potential pup out of a future litter. IF the buyer chooses to keep him as a part of their house and family, then Jane Gentzen / Courage Rhodesian Ridgebacks will give a credit of one quarter the purchase price of this dog toward a future purchase. If Jane does not produce a litter within a 7 year period, the buyer can then choose to wait for future litter or receive that amount from Jane Gentzen / Courage Rhodesian Ridgebacks in cash.
Jane Gentzen / Courage Rhodesian Ridgebacks and further guarantees the temperament to be in accordance with the published standard of this breed. I realize this guarantee will not be honored if the dog has been mis-treated, mentally or physically. Also, if Cathy Turner missed finding a dermoid (and that would be a first) and if a vet finds one after the buyer takes delivery, Jane agrees to pay for the surgery to remove the dermoid sinus using her veterinarian or a veterinarian of her choice. If the buyer uses a veterinarian without contacting Jane and getting approval from Jane first, Jane will not be responsible for surgical costs. Additionally, if a Dermoid Sinus is found, Jane Gentzen / Courage Rhodesian Ridgebacks will either credit $200 toward another RR purchase or exchange the dog of similar type from another future Courage litter.
