Documentation of compliance of the requirements specified in Parts 1 through 4 will be required to execute enforcement of the warranty.
Failure to provide the animal with the proper care listed in Parts 1 through 4 herein will VOID this Agreement and Warranty.
Part 1 Suitable Food & Feeding Practices
A. Provide and feed the pup with a quality food source,containing substantial amounts of highly digestible, high quality protein. (Suggested products include Canidae, Eukanuba, Nutro, and Pro Plan.) Grain based foods DO NOT meet this requirement. Foods may and should contain some grains, but they should not be the primary ingredients.
B. Feed the pup Large Breed Puppy Food until the dog is 18 months old, or as directed by your Veterinarian.
C. Feed the pup in accordance with your veterinarian's instructions. DO NOT overfeed the puppy. Overfeeding causes unnecessary stress on its joints and skeletal structure.
D. Provide the pup with a constant supply of fresh clean water.
Part 2 Shelter
A. The Buyer agrees to provide suitable shelter to protect the dog from undue heat, cold, wind, precipitation, or insects. Keeping the dog in your home is preferred. Keeping the dog in an enclosed run complete with insulated doghouse is acceptable, preferably inside a fenced yard. This protects your dog from roaming dogs and other animals. Keeping the dog outdoors attached to a chain IS NOT acceptable and will void this agreement.
B. Adequate fresh water must be provided at all times.
C. Adequate protection from wind driven elements including but not limited to; sand, rain, ice, sleet and snow must be provided.
D. Protection from wasps, hornets, mosquitoes, biting flies, ticks, and other insects must be provided. This usually means bringing the dog indoors or providing a screened run during the times of the year when insects are prevalent.
Part 3 Exercise
A. The animal must be given substantial amounts of Low Impact physical exercise on surfaces that provide good footing, preferably swimming.
B. Excessive running on hard or slippery surfaces IS NOT acceptable.
C. Excessive jumping on hard or slippery surfaces IS NOT acceptable. Don't allow the puppy to jump from tailgates or other similar height structures.
Swimming is the best physical exercise for puppies and young dogs. Swimming promotes good strong muscular development with reduced risk of physical injury to joints and skeletal structure during the formative periods of development.
Part 4 Veterinary Care
Proper Veterinary care is critical for young puppies. Proper vaccinations, examinations, and Owner education are all necessary for proper development of the puppy.
A. A Documented Examination of your new dog by your Licensed Veterinarian MUST occur within 48 hours of receipt of the puppy. Your veterinarian will inform you as to the schedule of the series of vaccinations that are necessary for puppies.
B. Your pup will have received the first in a series of vaccinations at approximately 6 weeks of age. Booster shots should be administered at approximately 9 weeks, 12 weeks, and 15 weeks of age. Your Veterinarian will tailor the vaccines your dog receives to the region of the country in which you live. Compliance with your Veterinarians Schedule of Vaccinations IS REQUIRED.
C. After the initial series of vaccinations, regular examinations are REQUIRED at a minimum of four month intervals for the remainder of the first year, six month intervals thereafter. This allows the Veterinarian to monitor the physical and emotional development, and offer suggestions to help you obtain optimum results with your dog. |
