OakLeaf Bouvier des Flandres Puppies will be received into their forever family with dew claws removed, tail docked if requested and micro chipped, initial shots and health check.
This breeder (OakLeaf Bouviers) strongly recommends obedience training and socialization at a young age for this puppy; starting as early as 10 weeks of age and no later than 16 weeks of age. This breeder also strongly recommends crate training this puppy to prevent injury to the puppy while unsupervised and prevent damage to the buyers possessions; and assist in housebreaking (potty training) this puppy. No puppy will be released to the buyer until the puppy is 8 weeks of age. (9 weeks if ears are cropped by seller's Veterinarian)
This breeder (OakLeaf Bouviers) strongly recommends no stringent exercise before the age of 2 years, due to full bone development. This means, but not limited to excessive running, such as jogging or running with human counterpart, cart pulling, herding of large farm animals, jumping from excessive heights, etc.
If for any reason this buyer can no longer retain possession of this puppy, this breeder is to be notified and given first option to recover full ownership of this puppy at the expense of the present owner, without refund for the puppy. The puppy will be returned to this breeder with all AKC papers and medical records.
Buyer agrees to care for and maintain a healthy environment for this puppy including but not limited to proper nutrition, proper grooming, clean living environment, companionship, veterinary care; including vaccinations, health check-ups, flea/tick and heart worm prevention and any other medical treatment that may be required in this puppies lifetime. Puppies must live indoors with their families the majority of each day and not be left outside exposed to inclement weather; that is excessive heat or cold. The buyer agrees to inform this breeder of any health issues that may develop with this puppy that could be deemed genetic or congenital in a timely manner, so this breeder can maintain accurate health records for future breeding.
The puppy, male or female, shall not be neutered or spayed before the age of 18 to 24 months; 24 months preferred; due to research showing that neutering/spaying before the puppy has reached maturity can result in abnormal bone development and temperament issues.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is this puppy to be placed in a pet shop, animal shelter or similar establishment.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is this puppy to be used in dog fighting, baiting or similar activity.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is this puppy to be sold as a companion pet or service dog and then bred.
The seller guarantees the puppy to be of sound health and temperament at the time of delivery. The buyer will have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian of their choice within 3 days of receiving the puppy. Should the puppy be found to have any congenital health issues, not attributed to trauma or injury while in the care of the buyer, the puppy may be returned to this breeder in exchange for another puppy when available; upon written diagnosis by the licensed veterinarian. This breeder retains the right to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian of her choice upon return, to confirm an accurate diagnosis of the puppy. If the diagnosis by this breeders veterinarian is disputed, then a third veterinarian opinion will be obtained by a mutually agreed upon veterinarian of the buyer and seller.
Failure to comply with the above conditions stated in this agreement, by this OakLeaf Bouviers, will incur a liability to the buyer of $3000.00 in damages payable to breeder on demand; plus all court costs and legal fees incurred by this breeder for said damages.
Payment is due in full and written contract signed by both parties before the puppy will be released to the buyer.
These conditions are to maintain the health and protection of promoting a strong Bouvier des Flandres breed for future generations.
