Below is a copy of our puppy contract, including our 10-year health guarantee. Please read through it thoroughly, and feel free to ask if you have any questions whatsoever!
This puppy/dog is being sold on the following terms and conditions:
_____ As a pet quality puppy/dog with limited registration, meaning they are not to be bred and are to be altered by 24 months of age.
_____ With full/breeding registration.
Buyer agrees to keep the puppy in good health, to have all shots and deworming at scheduled times, to provide water, food, and exercise. Understand that a pet is a lifetime commitment and we do not want any of our dogs to end up in a shelter.
Rys N Hy Kennel will accept any dog or puppy sold by us back into our care for any reason. No refunds or replacements will be given for surrendered dogs or puppies.
Puppy/dog is microchipped before leaving and Rys N Hy will remain the secondary contact for the puppy/dog’s lifetime to ensure puppy is not lost or surrendered to a shelter. If Rys N Hy does not remain the secondary contact on the microchip there will be a penalty of $5,000.00.
Buyers are to notify Rys N Hy if they plan on re-homing the puppy at any time in the puppy's life. Buyer will notify Rys N Hy for the first chance of buying back the puppy/dog. If the buyer does not contact Rys N Hy and rehomes the puppy there is a penalty fee of $5,000.00.
Deposits and Payment
Deposits made are non-refundable but are transferable. All deposits go toward the total sales price.
Balance is to be paid in full one week before shipping or at the time of pickup.
Guarantees
This puppy is guaranteed to be in good health, to the best of the seller’s knowledge. If he/she wishes, the buyer has 72 hours, from the date of ownership in which to have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT CANNOT BE RECTIFIED, you may return the puppy to us, at your expense, on the day following the vet exam, along with a veterinarian’s statement describing the problem. You will receive a full refund of the purchase price of the pup less any shipping fees and deposits made.
The following provisions will be honored, minus the exceptions noted below. All medical expenses are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
*NOTE: Viral/bacterial colds, or infections such as Coccidia or Giardia (bloody stools) which are forms of worms/parasites are not covered in the health guarantee as they are natural things puppies can pick up in nearly any location. Puppies are naturally at risk for coccidia, giardia, and other parasites and are especially susceptible to parasite infestations during the stress of a new home, new food, new people or just a change in environment.
Another thing that may show up when a puppy is taken to a new environment is kennel cough (Bordetella - a raspy cough may be signs of this) which is common when puppies are transported to their new homes and is usually caused by bacteria. Kennel cough is self-limiting and like the common cold, it must run its course. Full recovery is expected and kennel cough, coccidia, and giardia on their own are not life threatening.
All puppies are treated for coccidia, giardia, and worms and vaccinated for distemper and parvo before they leave our kennel. However, you need to be aware that these things can arise and that they are usually not serious (even though seeing blood in the stool appears serious) and are easily treated. Because we take precautions to treat them beforehand and because they are easily curable, we will not cover the treatment for these issues.
Umbilical hernias are also not covered in the health guarantee, as they are a common occurrence and are not life-threatening or life-altering in the majority of cases.
2-Year Guarantee: against genetic moderate or severe hip dysplasia, and retinal eye disease. Because 60% of all canine hip dysplasia is related to poor nutrition, we require that your puppy continue with the Life's Abundance Nutritional System for the first 26 months of his/her life (2 months with the breeder + 24 months after adoption) in order to qualify for this 2-year health guarantee. Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! If you continue with the Life's Abundance Nutritional System for the first 26 months of life, this dog is guaranteed against genetic moderate or severe hip dysplasia, and retinal eye disease until it is 26 months of age. The OFA is the sole and only judge in determining hip dysplasia. A CERF certified canine ophthalmologist must confirm any hereditary eye defects. If defects are found to be present, purchaser is to spay or neuter the dog (unless already done) and keep him/her as a companion. Limited Registration Puppy Contract details below will apply.
10-Year Guarantee: Because we believe so strongly that nutrition plays an incredibly important role in the health of an animal, we are offering a *Lifetime Free Replacement Puppy Guarantee. Should you choose this, the lifetime guarantee stipulates that the puppy must be fed Life's Abundance Nutritional System & Agility Formula for their entire lifetime purchased through the breeder. The Agility Formula must be given starting when the puppy is 6 months old. The reason we have chosen to offer this option to our guarantee, is because so many dogs and cats are acquiring serious life-threatening health risks through poor diet and vitamin deficiency. We believe that these products provide the optimum nutritional benefits ensuring good health and longevity for the dog, which is why we are willing to stand behind this guarantee. If your puppy does not reach its life expectancy of 10 years, you will be eligible to get a free replacement puppy of equal value.
Regarding hereditary defects: while we test for as many physical and genetic defects as possible, there are still many hereditary issues in all breeds that are not testable at this time. Because of this, there is never any guarantee that a dog will be 100% free of al genetic disorders that may have existed in past generations. We may not know of every potential weakness in every dog, and we believe that poor diet and lack of vitamins can exacerbate these conditions if present. Therefore, by providing the dog with quality food and supplements, along with preventative testing against all of those conditions we are able to, our dogs are more likely to live long, healthy, and fulfilled lives with their families.
Lifetime Free Replacement Puppy Information: This guarantee does not include the vet check, CERF eye exam, vaccinations, worming, transportation, crate/carrier, or other fees. This Lifetime Free Replacement Puppy Health Guarantee is for the genetic health of your puppy, and does not cover accidental death, neglect, abuse, or injuries that your dog may sustain while being a part of your family. We believe that Life's Abundance Pet Food and Supplements are a great combination to provide your dog with optimal health, so that your puppy can live a long and happy life with your family!
In the case of sudden death of a puppy, the breeder must receive a written notice of the puppy’s death from the owner’s vet, along with a necropsy report indicating cause of death. We also reserve the right to acquire a DNA sample from the puppy to verify identity of the dog or puppy.
Limited Registration Puppy (Pet Only): This puppy is being purchased as a pet and therefore the following applies:
Provided this puppy is kept on the Life's Abundance Nutritional System for the first 26 months of life, this dog will be guaranteed against genetic moderate or severe hip dysplasia and retinal eye disease until it is 26 months of age. The OFA is the sole and only judge in determining hip dysplasia. A CERF certified veterinarian must confirm any hereditary eye defects.
The original buyer of the dog has the right to a replacement puppy from the next available and comparable litter considering the following criteria have been met:
1. The original buyer must own the puppy.
2. The puppy must not have sired or whelped a litter.
3. The puppy must not have been overfed or over-exercised!
4. Buyer must show veterinary statement of diagnosis of hip dysplasia by the OFA or progressive retinal atrophy by CERF, along with a copy of the x-rays or vision exam results prior to the 26 months of age and a spay or neuter receipt stating dogs name, description, and microchip number.
5. Buyer must have fed this dog the Life's Abundance Nutritional System for the first 26 months and purchased solely through the breeder.
Full Registration Puppy (Show/Breeding Rights): This puppy is being purchased as a show/breeding prospect and therefore the following applies:
Rys N Hy guarantees no disqualifying faults are present in the puppy/dog if full registration is given. Full registration puppies are show quality at the time they leave Rys Hy. All puppies grow out differently and we cannot guarantee that they will remain show quality but will remain free of breed standard disqualifications. Buyer agrees that guarantees are for replacement only and at no time will Rys N Hy issue a monetary refund or be found responsible for any monetary settlement of expenses. Rys N Hy does not guarantee eye color, coat color or ear set. Buyer also agrees that any disagreements that go to court will be in the jurisdiction of the Seller in Mercer County Mo.
Boarding Fees
We will hold your puppy until 10 weeks old if needed. If you cannot pick your puppy up by 10 weeks old there will be a $20/day boarding fee due at time of pickup or if shipping, one week prior to shipping.
Registration
The Rys N Hy name will be given and used in the naming of the puppy when registering. Buyer agrees the puppy/dogs name will begin with Rys N Hy. Buyer also agrees not to register the puppy/dog with any other registry without written consent from the seller. Buyer also agrees that the puppy will not be registered as a Pomsky, mini, or any other breed. If buyer registers a puppy/dog as a mini or any other breed with any registry the penalty is a fee of $5,000.00.
Buyer also agrees that this puppy/dog will not be used in the breeding mixes and/or designer breeds, only responsibly-bred purebreds of their own breed (and only if buyer has purchased full rights.)
