	1. 	After receiving the balance due the puppy will be released to Buyers.   Shipping is available at an additional fee.   

	2.	Puppy's Health at Time of Delivery:  Breeder guaranties that the Puppy is free from communicable diseases as appears to the eye and otherwise in good health.   Buyer(s) agree to take the puppy to a certified veterinarian within the first 48 hours from pickup or delivery of the puppy or the Health Guarantee herein will become null and void.  This required visit validates this agreement and is non-transferrable.  If Buyers find probable cause and determine it necessary to return the puppy, Buyers must do so and puppy must be accompanied by:

		a.	Written proof  from licensed Veterinarian stating
			nature of the problem.
		b.	All Registration papers given at time of sale 
			unaltered.
		c.	Puppy must be alive and in the same condition
			it was received in.
		d.	Courtesy call to inform Southern Territory Pups
			of the nature of the problem.

		*	By not adhering to the required visit this Contract
			becomes null and void.  The Buyer is responsible
			for purchasing and providing daily care and
			Veterinary services for the dog.

		*	Breeder retains no responsibility to the puppy other
			than those specifically mentioned in this contract.
			Breeder is not responsible or liable for injuries 
			sustained as a result of an accident or illness or
			disorder that may be caused by environmental 
			factors.  Common parasites (i.e., fleas, ticks, worms,
			coccidiosis, mites, etc.) are not cause for replacement.
			Illness due to ingestion of foreign objects,  food or 
			chemicals after the puppy leaves Breeder is not 
			cause for replacement.   Breeder accepts no 
			responsibility for Buyers Veterinarian costs or 
			expenses.

	3.	Breeder guarantees the puppy to be free of fatal congenital anomalies for one year.  If puppy is diagnosed with life threatening congenital anomalies within the first year it will be replaced with a puppy of equal value as soon as a replacement becomes available.  We do not cover seasonal allergies or mites due to a weak immune system or those items considered normal in the breed i.e., Cherry eye, entropy, hips, skin allergies, elongated soft palate and stenotic nares (collapsed nostrils).  Buyer(s) will be responsible for all transportation costs/expenses necessary for return and replacement of puppy.

	4.	Breeder will not be responsible for medical treatment to cure such anomalies.  The Veterinarian who finds such condition will be required to write a description of the anomaly on his/her formal letterhead and be available, if need be, to discuss such issues with Breeder's Veterinarian.  

	5.	Due to the varying kinds of food and different environmental conditions the puppies come in contact with and the fact that all puppies have immune systems that take time to mature, the terms of this guarantee will not be honored unless they are given NuVet Plus immune system builder as directed by the manufacturer for the entire guarantee period.  Failure to do so will render this guarantee null and void except where prohibited by law.  We also highly recommend you continue to give your pet NuVet Plus beyond the guarantee period to promote optimal health for a lifetime.  

	6.	In the event of death the puppy must be autopsied by a Licensed Veterinarian.  By use of tissue samples, etc. sent to a certified lab for analysis a report must be provided stating the cause of death.   Breeder is not responsible for expenses incurred herein.   If no autopsy is performed the Seller will have no obligation to replace the puppy even if the cause of death was congenital.   

	7. 	Breeder does not guarantee size, weight, color or temperament of the puppy when it matures as this is often influenced by the puppies care with respect to feed, medical/shots, socialization, environment, etc.  

	8.	A dog exposed to or participating in any type of protection training will null and void guarantee and Breeder is not liable for damage or litigation involving or as a result of protection training.

	9.	If Buyers plan to show said puppy there is no guarantee that the puppy will become a champion. 

	10.	If Buyer(s) purchase/adopt a puppy with "Limited Registration" the puppy is considered "Pet Only" and Buyers agree to have said puppy spayed/neutered between 6 mos.  -  1 year old.  In the event that they are bred, they will be repossessed along with any puppies produced.  Limited Registration does NOT grant/allow breeding.  Registration papers will be held by Breeder until spay/neuter documentation is received on the puppy.  

	11.	Deposits are a commitment to hold a puppy for you and are non-refundable.  Buyers can move the deposit to a different litter if need be.  	

	12.	If Buyers use PayPal for payment 3.5 percent of the payment amount must be added to cover PayPal charges.

	13. 	This contract is governed by the laws in the State of Georgia.
