PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND HEALTH GUARANTEE

Dakota Gold Kennel’s Purchase Agreement and Warranty

This warranty covers a puppy up until 26 months of age. The warranty only covers hereditary defects for which dam and sire have been tested, i.e. hips and elbows. It does not cover accidental deaths.

If the buyer decides for any reason that he/she cannot keep their Dakota Gold dog, we MUST be notified and given first right to buy back the said dog. If the buyer is not happy with their new puppy it can be returned to Dakota Gold Kennels within one week for a replacement of equal value or the full refund of purchase price minus the deposit. Buyer is responsible for all costs associated with the pup's return.

Puppies are sold on a Limited Registration which means that litters produced by the dog may not be registered with the AKC. If you decide you would like Full registration, you must submit the following health clearances to Dakota Gold Kennels: OFA hips, elbows, eye, heart and DNA testing. The dog must also have at a minimum a Junior AKC hunter title.

Any female that is granted full rights will only be allowed to be bred once per year to ensure the dog's best welfare is kept in mind. If the buyer fails to meet this requirement the dog shall be surrendered back to Dakota Gold Kennels and no money will be refunded to the buyer. Dakota Gold puppies may not be bred to other breeds to produce popular crosses like Goldendoodles. Full registration will not be granted. By signing this contract you are agreeing to these terms and that cross breeds will not be produced.

In the event that a Dakota Gold dog is suspected of having a hereditary defect, this is the procedure to follow:

1. Notify us by telephone, letter, text, or email.

2. Submit hip x-rays to OFA (We do NOT honor or support Penn Hip readings-AKC only recognizes the OFA as a registry)

We also require that you send us a copy of the x-ray, or send us a copy of the ophthalmologist eye exam, or other test results that confirm the defect. If an unexpected death occurs and is suspected to be hereditary, an autopsy must be performed in order for warranty to be valid.

If the dog cannot obtain a normal hip,elbow, heart, thyroid, or eye certification, or has a hereditary problem precluding it to be nonfunctional or not breedable, then to qualify for a replacement:

The dog must be returned to us in good health within 10 days of identifying the genetic condition, or if the problem warrants the dog must be put to sleep by your veterinarian, and a letter from him stating that he has done so must be sent to us.

The entire purchase price of any dog covered by this warranty may be applied to a puppy from the next available Dakota Gold litter of your choice if the said dog/puppy is returned to us. If you decide to keep the dog, see below.

3. The dog must not have whelped or sired a litter.
