Thank you for your interest in Kennels program. We
take pride in producing healthy quality animals. All pups/dogs are not show
quality and are not sold as show quality pups/dogs. All pups/dogs are
socialized with humans and other animals from an early age to promote Canine
Good Citizenship from the start. Shipping is available at an additional

to creditable show and working homes. A $__0.00__
deposit is required to hold your dog or puppy. Deposits are nonrefundable, and
nontransferable to future litters. "We can only be
responsible for dogs purchased directly from us, by the people who bought them,
not dogs sold under our name!" Dogs not bought directly from and/or bred
by us, are not recognized Kennels Dogs. We do not recognize people's sale of dog/s claiming
to be Kennels bred.
I.
Health Guarantee
Kennels goes to great lengths to keep our dogs and produce pups
with great health, temperament, and working ability. Your pup/dog is
guaranteed to be in good health upon pickup or delivery, having all necessary
vaccinations and dewormings up to date for its age.
We recommend that you take your pup/dog to see a veterinarian within 48
hours of receiving it, at that time the pup/dog is fully guaranteed. If any
problems should arise, it should be brought to Kennels attention
immediately. Vet bills and shipping will not be refunded. Failure of
seeing a veterinarian within 48 hours of receiving the pup/dog will null and
void this Health Guarantee.
If the pup/dog is found to be in poor health, the pup/dog will be replaced
and no refund will be given. If the pup develops a life threatening
illness prior to 6 months of age, Kennels is to be notified
immediately. Kennels must be provided with written documentation from
a Licensed Veterinarian containing the diagnosis and prognosis of the condition
of this pup.
Shots, deworming, and proper care are the responsibility of the buyer of the
pup/dog. Any pup/dog developing an illness related to lack of shots,
deworming, or of poor care will not be replaced.
Any conditions which can be easily treated will not be covered by this
Health Guarantee all others will be replaced with a pup/dog of the same value
from the next available breeding.
If pups/dogs are available of a greater value, Kennels will offer
to deduct the original price from the purchase of the greater valued
pup/dog. In no cases will a pup/dog be replaced with one of a greater
value without the difference being paid by the purchaser!
Kennels will not be responsible for any vet bills or other bills
that may incur after the purchase of the pup/dog. Vaccines must remain current.
Clean water must be available at all times, adequate quality food must be
given, and pup/dog must be kept in a clean and secure enclosed yard or large
kennel with an appropriate amount of shade and adequate shelter.
We will not replace a pup/dog nor will we refund any money due to health
problems associated with the pup/dog being spayed or neutered.
II.
Disclaimer:
With the opinion of our vet taken into consideration with research done over
the years Kennels does not guarantee against any skin or coat problems
nor will we be responsible for skin and coat problems that are associated with
pups/dogs with blue coats.
We’ve found that the blue coat coloring in any dog breed, has been known to
be associated with skin and coat problems; making them no matter the breed or
bloodline more prone to bacterial, viral, staff and fungal infections as well
as various forms of dermatitis, allergies, demodex, and color mutant alopecia.
While some being hereditary many of these problems are simply the result of
having a blue coat color.
Most skin and coat problems are easily and inexpensively treated. Kennels isn’t saying that all blue dogs or all dogs will be affected by skin or
coat problems, we are just informing you that there’s no test available to test
for these problems prior to pups/dogs showing symptoms and signs of an
infection or outbreak only to add the fact that an adult dog can be a carrier
and never show any signs or symptoms.
We will not replace a pup/dog or refund money on a pup/dog purchased from us
that becomes affected by Demodectic Mange. Kennels will never breed any
dog knowingly, that they have had any or are producers of any skin disease.
III.
Breeding:
Buyers will take all necessary precautions to ensure healthy quality
animals. Buyers should understand that they will not get rich breeding healthy
quality pups/dogs. Dog breeding is not for everyone and shouldn’t be taken
lightly. Life itself is being created when 2 dogs are paired to form a litter.
Please educate yourself and weigh the options before deciding to breed while
making sure that your only motivation is not money.
This dog/pup should never be bred to any other dog unless the potential mate
is:
1.
A Purebred American Bully
2.
Structurally & temperamentally sound
3.
Registered with the ABKC, BBCR, RKC or any other kennel club that
recognizes the American Bully
Male dogs (Studs) are not to be bred before 18 months old of age. All males
are not to be over bred, and not to be bred over the age of 9 years old. In the
event a buyer decides to breed said pup/dog, the buyer will take all necessary
precautions to ensure healthy quality offspring.
Female dogs (Brood Bitches) are not to be bred before their third (3) heat
cycle or before two (2) years of age (whichever occurs first). All
females are not to be over bred (a max of 4 litters) and not to be bred over
the age of 7 years old. In the event a buyer decides to breed said pup/dog, the
buyer will take all necessary precautions to ensure a healthy quality litter.
IV.
Neglect & Misuse:
Kennels has worked hard to bring forth healthy quality pups/dogs,
so when selling a pup/dog to new owners, Kennels is trusting that new
owners will provide everything that is needed to care for this pup/dog
properly; meaning keeping the pup/dogs living quarters clean and sanitized
(pooped/pee cleaned up), with available shade in summer months and warmth in
the winter, daily fresh clean water, a healthy balanced diet, adequate
exercise, and regular vet visits to stay up to date on vaccines and
worming’s. If at any time things become too difficult please do not
hesitate to notify Kennels we are here to assist you in any way we can
while making sure that your experiences with Kennels and Kennels bred pup/dog are memorable ones.
If new owner has been found and proven to have had, or is neglecting said
pup/dog, (inadequate, food/water, shelter/shade, sanitation) Kennels
has the right to confiscate the pup/dog immediately without any compensation
due to the buyer for the pup/dog.
If at any time during ownership, law enforcement or animal control feels
that the pup/dog is not being properly cared for, Kennels has the
right to confiscate the pup/dog immediately without any compensation due to the
buyer for the dog.
All Registration Paperwork must be signed and returned to Kennels
within a reasonable amount of time (30 DAYS).
All fines, court cost, attorney fees, and any additional costs and/or fee(s)
that may incur for obtaining the dog/pup will be the sole responsibility of the
buyer.
All pups/dogs purchased from Kennels or any other breeder/kennel
must never be used for any illegal activity that violates United States Federal
Law “Animal Welfare Act”.
If the pup/dog is found to be used for any illegal activity, it will be
immediately removed from the buyer’s home and all Registration Papers must be
signed and forfeited to Kennels. Criminal charges will immediately be
filed with the proper authorities.
Failure to Comply:
If new owner violates section IV of this contract and the pup/dog is not
returned to Kennels with “Signed Registration Papers” within a
reasonable amount of time (30 DAYS), the buyer will be liable for court cost
and civil damages in the amount to be decided on by Kennels.
