We are also not responsible for any veterinary expenses after said dog/puppy leaves our premises. Seacoast Golden Retrievers will not be held responsible for any damages done by said dog/puppy. Breeder does not guarantee any dog is show-able, just may state that some of the potential to be shown. Breeder does not cover any illnesses or injury the puppy may acquire after leaving the property. We do not cover any problems with infertility in dogs that we sell on full. Breeder does not cover the temperament of your puppy as it matures, since those would be lack of socialization, poor handling or training on the buyer’s behalf. Breeder takes all action to treat intestinal parasites prior to the puppy leaving the premises.

3. Buyer agrees that said puppy/dog is a household pet, and to NEVER be chained or housed outside. Buyer agrees to never allow this puppy or dog to run free or roam without supervision and will provide the proper housing when outside. Buyer understands to NEVER take the puppy outside or visiting until all the shots are given at 15 weeks old, preventing the puppy from getting sick. Buyer will not over exercise the puppy until they are at least 1.5 years old, since they have a lot of growing to do. We REQUIRE all pets to be vaccinated with all vaccines and rabies' shots before they enter a store or public place for the safety of the puppy or dog. The puppies are NOT protected until 15 weeks or after they have received their last shots, and even then, still have chances of becoming sick.

4. Buyer knows to not ever let the puppy play hard, and then come in and eat or drink. There should be a 10-minute break or more in between playing and eating or drinking, this will help prevent bloat. Buyer agrees to feed the puppy or dog good quality food, and diet. There cannot be anything over 24% protein and the buyer agrees to not feed puppy food of any kind.

5. If the buyer is showing any signs of abuse or cruelty by any means, the buyer will forfeit all rights to the Golden Retriever listed above, and the breeder will regain custody and all registration papers. Buyer will not receive a refund of any money paid to the breeder. If there are any suspicious Seacoast Golden Retrievers have the right to do a home check in the residence where the puppy/dog is being kept. It is an approved time by both parties. Under ZERO circumstances Is this puppy allowed to be sold, leased, given away or surrendered to a rescue. If the buyer cannot keep the puppy, the puppy MUST be returned.

6. I Seacoast Golden Retrievers, warrant this Golden Retriever to be in excellent health, and free of any diseases as far as it appears. Buyer is required to take the puppy to the veterinarian of choice within 5 days of the date of pickup to ensure a health checkup. If the veterinarian says that the puppy is not in good health, the puppy must be returned if elected to do so (at buyer’s expense). Buyer will show proof within 10 days of the date that the puppy was purchased that the puppy was seen by a vet and cleared the examination of health.

7. I am requesting that you never give the rabies vaccine before 6 months of age, and any other vaccines in a combination could be harmful. Breeders will not cover bloat, or nutritional related diseases. Breeders will consider this contract as invalid if the dog is found to have structural problems that have related from poor diet, and over vaccines. If the puppy is not sound, a detailed report from a veterinarian must be supplied to the breeder.

8. Puppies come with a two-year, nontransferable, health guarantee which covers genetic defects. If the puppy is diagnosed within 2 years from date of birth, with proven congenital defect, the breeder will replace the puppy with one equal or less in value when the replacement puppy is available. Breeder doesn’t guarantee the sex or color of the replacement puppy. Buyer must provide proof of the diagnosis from two separate veterinarians not at the same vet’s office for the replacement to be valid. If the buyer chooses to keep the puppy, the buyer will refund 50% of the puppy’s original price (not including shipping or maintenance fees). The breeding also requests the original puppy to be altered (spayed or neutered), current on vaccines, submitted to the breeder to keep on file. Buyer is responsible for all vet care and maintenance on the puppy after the puppy leaves the breeder's house. The breeder does not guarantee against conditions brought by stress or environmental changes.

9. f you are picking up the puppy, make sure that the puppy is not on the ground where standing water is present, or where other dogs are frequent. Puppies should not be around that until at least 16 weeks of age, after all shots were given. Parvo is heavy in the U.S and can be picked up almost anywhere. The breeder has made every effort to reduce the risk of genetic health issues.

10. If the buyer can no longer care for this dog/ puppy it is to be returned to the breeder with all the AKC documentation signed over to the breeder. We offer LIFETIME return policy on ALL our dogs and puppies. Breeder will be responsible for the cost of transportation of the dog or puppy, and the buyer must maintain the health of the puppy until in possession of Seacoast Golden Retrievers again. BUYER DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PLACE THE DOG ANYWHERE, WITH ANYONE AT ANYTIME.

11. We offer air and ground transport for an additional fee. If the Retriever needs to be picked up, the costs will be to the breeder and not the buyer.

12. We do NOT allow our Retrievers to be spayed or neutered before 12-18 months of age for MALES and 18-24 months of age for FEMALES unless sold on full, then none needed. You MUST show proof of that at 18 or 24 months depending on the sex of the puppy.

13. If purchased on full, the buyer agrees that the puppy will not be used for breeding purposes until at least 18 months of age (male) and 24 months of age (female). We encourage all dogs to be fully health tested and color tested before breeding
