(Buyer) and (Seller) have agreed to the purchase/sale of one AKC Labrador Retriever breed standard puppy under the terms in this agreement as described as follows: 

PUPPY BEING SOLD

Description of puppy agreed to: Labrador 

Gender of Puppy:

Date of Birth of Puppy:

Other Details of Buyers Puppy Purchase:

The puppy chosen is to be reserved for the said named buyer listed here in this puppy purchase agreement. This puppy pick will be personally made by the said named buyer or by his appointed representative. 

PURCHASE PRICE

The purchase price of the puppy agreed upon:         

Part of the purchase price will be paid immediately with this agreement as a holding fee to guarantee that seller will hold the puppy for delivery to the buyer on the specified delivery date and delivery terms {given after their birth}. This holding fee is to secure your picking order which will be given to you at the time of this partial payment being received.

The balance due to be paid in cash or other method accepted by seller, after crediting the holding fee amount, will be paid to the seller at the time of delivery or pick up of the puppy to the buyer. 

With the exception; if we have multiple litters at once & for the purpose of delivering multiple litters together, final payment will be expected a week prior to delivery date. 

The holding fee is non refundable but can be transferred to a future litter, within two years of agreement date, only if said litter does not produce color/gender of buyers agreed upon choice. If an expected litter results in no puppies, your holding fee is transferred to the following litter & you retain your place in picking order. Failure of the buyer to complete this purchase would subject seller to lost opportunities to sell the puppy to some other buyer and retention of the holding fee is meant to compensate seller for his possible loss. This holding fee signifies the intent on the part of the buyer to follow through with the purchase of this puppy.  

Breeding rights are available & pre-screened for approval. There is an additional cost for breeding rights of $1000. Otherwise, you will not be able breed your dog or register any litters they would have, with AKC. If we find that you have bred your dog without permission, we will take legal action. Owner of dog bred without permission will pay $5,000 for breeding, & $2,500 for each puppy in a given litter, that is unauthorized to Calizona Labs. If you attempt to deceive us of your intention to breed your dog, prior to delivery, our contract will be voided & your holding fee retained by Calizona Labs for breech of contract. This is how we do our part to keep the pet population down & ensure that only those that have experience with breeding Labs are breeding our puppies with the same care & concern we do. 

PICKING 

We ask all of our families to begin making choices on which pup they want at 3 weeks old. I will send you a detailed explanation of how to & why we do this. If a puppy isn't chosen by 4 weeks old we will match you to a puppy. 

DELIVERY OF PUPPY

The delivery of the puppy is only that of physically handing over the puppy to the buyer. We do not ship our puppies & if you choose to pick your puppy up from us there is no discount to the purchase price. We do offer accompanied delivery to other states via a Flight Nanny & there are additional costs associated with this, including; cost of round trip flight, any airline fees for puppy travel & $400 Flight Nanny fee. 

However transporting the puppy to the buyer can be arranged if negotiated between the buyer and seller, and details of this arrangement are addressed in the other agreements section of this purchase agreement. 

For CA families; delivery from AZ to CA areas is not apart of the total puppy price, it is simply done as a courtesy, when possible, & only to the distances discussed with you by seller, and may vary from litter to litter. 

When we travel to CA there are designated meeting/pickup locations for CA families. We meet all our families on the same day, at the same time, & at the same location. If you cannot make the arranged date/time of CA delivery, arrangements must be made with the seller weeks prior to. 

If buyer flys to us we are closest to Prescott Regional Airport {no additional fee} or we can meet you at Phoenix Sky Harbor. The fee for us to meet you at Phoenix Sky Harbor is $150, which covers our car rental, gas & parking. This is for daytime flights only. If it is early morning or late evening there may be additional costs if we have to stay the night to accommodate this. 

It is recommended that the puppy pick-up take place between week six to eight from date of birth, and not to be weaned from their mom any sooner than week five, within reason to puppy’s physical development and with the discretion of the puppy litter owner. Puppies weaned naturally by their mother typically occurs by week 5, and with regards to their health, physical development, & bonding to our Special Needs Families, it is completely accepted & recommended by medical professionals assisting our Special Needs Families that they can pick up their puppy at 6 weeks old or after.

Puppy departure from whelping home into the possession of the new owner is permissible yet relative to sequential order of individual new owner puppy picks from the same puppy litter.   

HEALTH GUARANTEE  

The seller guarantees your puppy to be free from infectious disease when it leaves our premises and guarantees the puppy to be free from genetic problems, including hips, eyes and heart for up to one year of age. Hip and joint problems can be caused by or influenced by overfeeding, improper diet, failure to maintain proper weight, failure to provide sufficient exercise, over-exercising or improper exercising, which would be out of our control. A written examination from a veterinarian must state that genetic defect exists and be accompanied by x-rays and other testing as appropriate. Seller will provide buyer with a puppy that is clean, in good general health and that has no known physical defects. 

Initial 48-Hour Health Guarantee Information + Requirements

It’s the buyer’s responsibility to get the puppy seen by a licensed veterinarian within 2 calendar days of receiving the puppy. CalizonaLabs will not be responsible for Parvo, Distemper or Coronavirus after the pup leaves our home. These are highly contagious diseases and they can be contracted immediately after leaving our home. We guarantee your dog’s feet only touch the ground at our disease-free home because we don’t even take our litters to a vet clinic; our veterinarian team comes to our house to do examinations when necessary. & we never take our moms or puppies to any Vet Clinic that treats Parvo patients. CalizonaLabs isn’t responsible for any illnesses or issues diagnosed after the initial 48 hours, except where stated in this health guarantee.

We require a copy of the initial exam to be sent to us. The paperwork must be on the veterinarian’s letterhead and must include your name, the name of the puppy, gender, color, and date the exam was done. Typically all of this information is included on the initial exam so just be sure to look your paperwork over before you leave the vet’s office. We are not responsible for allergies, immunity levels, mites, pneumonia, mange, heat stroke, ringworm, conjunctivitis, intestinal worms and parasites, fleas, ticks, ear infections, coccidiosis, parvovirus, yeast infections, or giardiasis.

Lifetime Genetic Disorder Health Guarantee Claims Policy

The puppy is guaranteed to never receive an affected test result for any genetic disease listed below:

Centronuclear Myopathy, Degenerative Myelopathy, Exercise-Induced Collapse, Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration, Retinal Dysplasia/Oculoskeletal Dysplasia 1, Skeletal Dysplasia 2, Cystinuria (Labrador Retriever Type), Elliptocytosis, Hyperuricosuria, Myotubular Myopathy 1, Narcolepsy (Labrador Retriever Type), Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Cone-Rod Dystrophy 4, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Golden Retriever 2, Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (Labrador Retriever Type).

In the event the puppy is directly tested and it receives an affected result from a genetic testing company you submitted their DNA to, the puppy must be retested as we know from genetic testing that our breeding dogs are not affected. This will be done at the puppy buyer’s expense, through the genetic testing company of our choice. If the second test comes back as unaffected, that test will be the final determination that the pup is unaffected. If the second test comes back as affected, a replacement puppy will be offered. The puppy will be replaced with a puppy of equal value from a future litter. To receive a replacement puppy, the puppy being replaced must have proof of being fixed. If the puppy is not spayed/neutered within 18 months or we do not receive documentation of it within 18 months, no replacement puppy will be given. We as the breeder, have 12 months after receiving the documentation from you of spay/neuter to give a replacement puppy of equal value. The puppy buyer must have the original puppy fixed prior to receiving the replacement puppy. The following are the options we offer:

• You may keep your puppy and get a replacement puppy from a future litter. Must be the same breed and gender. This will happen after documented proof of spay/neuter for the first puppy has been provided. 
• You may return your puppy once it has been fixed and receive one replacement puppy from a future litter under the criteria cited above. Must be the same breed and gender. We must receive the puppy back to us within 7 calendar days of the second test result that confirmed an affected dog.

We will not be responsible for any travel or shipping cost for either options.

In the unlikely event of death due to genetic defect, confirmation & statement of cause from your Veterinarian’s necropsy team is required. Under no circumstances will CalizonaLabs be responsible for veterinary or medical bills incurred.

Spay/Neuter Policy

It is our policy that none of our puppies are to be spayed/neutered (fixed) until 18 months of age for females & 2 years old for males, or older. It is detrimental to the growth and the long term health of a Labrador to be fixed before they reach adulthood. Any altering of the dog’s reproductive system prior to stated ages above will result in an immediate void of the health guarantee. 

The seller is not responsible for any health issues related to change of home environment, climate, or travel to new home.

The seller does not guarantee temperament however our Labrador Retrievers, in this case the sire and dam of the puppy being purchased have demonstrated excellent temperament and were in excellent health from time of conception to time of whelping of the puppy. 

BUYERS COMMITMENT TO CARE FOR PUPPY

After delivery, it is the responsibility of the buyer to provide a healthy environment with proper socialization. It is the buyer’s responsibility to keep the puppy free from harm and bad interactions with other people, dogs and animals. Any negative exposure of the puppy to a bad experience with other dogs or people can cause lasting effects. Be gentle with your puppy and use positive reinforcement to train him/her. Do not hit your puppy on the head/face to discipline other than in the event of biting and not to do so to inflect injury. Do not discipline the puppy by means of rubbing his/her nose in urine or feces. Do not spray puppy with garden hose as a means of discipline or use water in any way as a disciplinary tool. Your puppy has a natural instinct to play in water and also be easily acceptable of water for bathing when water is dispensed in low pressure, low flow from a hose. 

The buyer agrees to keep the puppy healthy, maintain and stay current with all recommended puppy vaccinations, provide periodic veterinarian checks including an initial examination within the first week after delivery, keep the puppy at a healthy weight by feeding a quality dog food, and to ensure nonexistence of parasites or treatment (if necessary) with their veterinarian. Expenses of veterinary care, treatments, exams and tests are the financial responsibility of the buyer.  

Buyer agrees to protect the puppy from exposure to parvovirus and other infectious illnesses, both before and after vaccinations. New owners will not enroll the puppy in training classes until all immunizations are completed.

Buyers failure to follow through with the commitment to care for puppy will void sellers health guarantee.

Return & Rehoming Policy

We require our puppy families contact us about rehoming our Labs. Sometimes things happen in life and you need to rehome your dog. CalizonaLabs requires the first contact to be us if this situation occurs. We want to help ease your burden and to ensure our dogs are safe. We will always take our dogs back if you need to rehome your dog or help you find a new home for her/him. We don’t care how old the dog is or if we haven’t talked to you in a couple of years, we will always want the dog back. We will take the dog back and find a new home, or if there is a situation that fits with a new family, that you or we know of, we will help make those arrangements. We have to give written permission for the dog to be rehomed, if you don't return them directly to us, as well as know the name & contact info for their new home because AKC can audit us for this information. We do not want our dogs in shelters or in homes that aren’t a good fit for them so we will do everything we can to help. The original owner is responsible for covering the costs of sending the dog back to us, or to the agreed upon new home. We do not give refunds when a dog is returned to us under any circumstances, & dogs are rehomed for free to their next new family. We do not resale puppies & by rehoming, even under sad circumstances, it is a breech of this contract of puppy care so the current family should not expect any reimbursement from the rehoming family. 

Other Agreements:

Any delivery agreement that varies from sellers typical delivery/meeting spots with puppy families will be charged. If you can't take your puppy on an arranged delivery date & the pup stays with us until a later date, the cost of boarding is $150 for the first 3 days, if longer is needed, additional arrangements & charges apply. $150 per week, but not to exceed 2 weeks. If a pet sitter is needed because we are delivering puppies or elsewhere, those fees are paid by the buyer. Flight cost, flight nanny fees & all associated fees with travel to you are at the expense of the buyer.
