Semavi Anatolian Shepherd Dog
Sample Puppy Agreement

Litter Plans are in the works for 2007
see the red block above

Notes:

Thank you for your interest in our dogs. Below is the basic contract and what will serve as the basic guidelines of our expectations of each other. If you want to reserve a pup after understanding our agreement, then print out and fill out the puppy application form here.

We are located in Northern California. 

Emailing is preferred.
I am hearing impaired so your questions to me by email assures that your message won't sound garbled if you get the message machine, plus no phone tag with James, who may not have reviewed your application.
If and when I do use the phone, it has to be via the TDD relay (operator assistance). Email is preferred for most issues.

A Deposit is required:
Deposit $200 (USD) and completed application are required. Deposit
serves to hold position on the puppy waiting list and goes toward the
purchase price. Puppy prices for the litter are listed below. The quality and
the placements of each puppy is not determined until the final weeks after
each puppy's conformation, character and temperament is evaluated.

WAIT to have your application approved before sending a deposit.
You have a choice to mail the application to us or to send the online application.
In either case, you are not on the waiting list until your deposit is received.

I require a hip evaluation on your Semavi Anatolian puppy between 24 and
30 months. Be sure you understand the agreement before deciding to make
a deposit.

 

Deposits are refundable if

- your application is not accepted
            and/or if
- we determine that the litter doesn't have the right pup for you.
(wrong sex, wrong personality, wrong color, etc)

------------

This is the basic Sales contract.

Puppy quality at two tiers. 
ALL puppies come with a health guarantee and are specifically 
guaranteed to qualify for hip certification at 2 years. 

1) Select- Breeding worthy  ($1000)
- This is a working/show and breeding quality potential pup as best
as can be determined by 8 weeks. 
Full Health guarantee and guarantee against disqualifying faults 
with breed character and if the dog is being trained as a working dog
this is also supported as below.

2) Working and/or Companion (Pet) ($800)
- These puppies must be neutered if not on the Select tier.
- If you are specifically looking for a working dog, then let me
know well in advance. 
This is important during puppy temperament evalutation. While
many dogs eventually become good workers as they mature, knowing 
your specific needs help us sort the puppies into the temperaments 
suitable for the new home, which makes them easier to work with than
a puppy that has a personality that would otherwise be too much
of a challenge.
- Dogs purchased specifically to be livestock guardian dogs get a 
working guarantee if the buyer agrees to follow advice given 
regarding it's training. 

Typical prices this litter:
 Select= $1000
 All others $800

We will do early neutering if owner requests. The neutering price will
be FREE to the buyer in the case that it is ordered before puppy 
is picked up. Our vet will neuter as early as 10 weeks if the puppy's
development is going at the normal rate. Most puppies will be going 
home at 8 weeks. We keep the puppy longer to give more time to heal.
AT THIS TIME -- due to research which has been done on LARGE breed
pups that were early neutered, we are strongly recommending that neutering 
be done closer to the first birthday.

Buyers who elect to neuter later will pay for the surgery. No papers
are given until after neutering.

sold, given away, destroyed (euthanasia) or placed in an animal
shelter. Exception to euthanasia would be in the case of injury or
suffering of the dog.

__Every effort has been made by the Breeder to produce a litter both
physically and mentally sound and Breeder will stand behind this
breeding to the extent stated below. However, Buyer accepts full
responsibility for the proper care once the pup leaves the Breeder,
as the Breeder cannot be held responsible for death, injury or
deformity of the pup due to illness, accident or deviation from
adequate care normally given a giant-breed puppy. (The terms "pup"
and "dog" are used interchangeably.)

__Buyer agrees to take this pup to a veterinarian within five days
of receipt of this pup.  If, for any reason Buyer is dissatisfied
with the health of this pup, it may be returned to the Breeder
within seven days of receipt and receive either a full refund or
replacement. If, however, Buyer elects to keep the pup after
veterinary exam, Breeder is not liable for any existing or future
medical conditions except as noted under guarantee. 

__Buyer agrees to continue the vaccination series already started

Annual heartworm testing is strongly encouraged. Buyer agrees to
license this dog according to the regulations of the county of

home and shall neither be continuously tied nor allowed to roam free.
(This may be waived for Working Livestock Guardian Dogs.)

physical corrections or other abuse, nor be kept in unthrifty
condition.

__Buyer agrees to have this dog x-rayed at his own expense for hip
dysplasia at a time recommended by the Breeder (between 24 and 30
months of age). If the x-ray is then sent to the Breeder, Breeder
will have the plate read and diagnosis issued by OFA at no further
cost to the Buyer. Buyer also has the option of submitting the x-ray
to OFA at his own expense.

__Buyer agrees to honor any spay/neuter clauses specified in this
agreement. 

__ NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS LIABILITY ON THE
BREEDER'S PART IF THE DOG SHOULD FAIL TO PERFORM ITS GUARDIAN
FUNCTIONS DUE TO INADEQUATE TRAINING, NOR SHALL THE BREEDER BE
LIABLE FOR ACTIONS OF THE DOG WHICH ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE
BREEDER.

Sales Agreement
Part -2-  (of 3 parts)

BREEDER'S GUARANTEE:

The Breeder guarantees the health and quality of this dog as
described below.

-HEALTH-
Breeder guarantees that this pup is in good health and will replace
any pup that becomes seriously ill within seven days of leaving the
Breeder.  In addition, the Breeder guarantees this pup against
hereditary or congenital deformity or dysfunction as follows. 

The Breeder guarantees this above described dog against congenital
or serious hereditary deformities or dysfunctions which affect its
health and soundness and would make it unsuitable as a companion or
working dog. This guarantee is good until one year of age for all
such afflictions, except hip dysplasia, in which case it is extended
to the age of 30 months. Diagnosis of hip dysplasia must be made by
the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and a copy of the reading
furnished to the Breeder.

If the degree of deformity or dysfunctions as described above is
such that the dog must be euthanized (destroyed), Buyer must present
veterinary certificated proof of its death due to the covered defects
and Breeder agrees to replace the dog with one of at least equal
quality, without charge except for shipping.  Such replacement is
made subject to availability and will be made within 18 months of the
date of the death of the dog. 

In the case that the dog is diagnosed by a veterinarian as having a
congenital affliction as described above by one year of age, or
diagnosed by the OFA as dysplastic, does not require euthanization
and the owner does choose to keep the dog, the Breeder requires proof
of the affliction from a veterinarian, or OFA in the case of joint
abnormality AND proof of sterilization (neutering or spaying) of
said dog. The Breeder will provide a new dog of at least equal
quality, to Buyer at half the payment sum of the first dog, subject
to availability within 18 months of receipt of written proof of
affliction. 

All claims must be made within 30 days of determination of covered
defect.  

-QUALITY-
The dog is guaranteed to be of the quality represented. 

* If SELECT quality, then the dog will have all the potential of
a WORKING quality dog (see following) and additionally, have no
disqualifying or major faults that would prevent it from being a 
quality breeding or show prospect.

* If WORKING quality, the dog is guaranteed to have the correct
character and temperament to develop into a proper livestock guarding
dog. The temperament of an adult dog, however, is a combination of
both genetic and environmental factors and cannot be predicted. If
the dog is raised with livestock, following the advice of the Breeder
and under the direct supervision of the Buyer, it should function as
a livestock guardian by the age of 18 months. Evidence of such
function is a lowered rate of livestock loss due to predation and/or
lowered evidence of predator activity in the area occupied by the
dog. Buyers are strongly encouraged to seek guidance from the Breeder
or experienced livestock producers prior to introduction of the dog
to stock.

    -If the dog does not function as a livestock guardian by the age
    of 18 months, Buyer may return the dog to the Breeder for a
    replacement dog or pup under the following conditions:

    1. Buyer must remain in regular contact with Breeder, informing
    Breeder of training problems as they arise and making a good
    faith effort to correct those problems with the Breeder's advice.

    2. The dog must be in normal good health, up to date on all
    innoculations and worming and test negative for heartworm.

* If COMPANION quality, it will have no serious faults or impairments
that would prevent it from being a healthy companion.

IF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED DOG HAS BEEN USED FOR BREEDING BEFORE BEING
CERTIFIED BY THE OFA, BUYERS AGREE THAT THIS GUARANTEE HAS BECOME
NULL AND VOID. The purpose of this guarantee is to protect buyer
and future buyers of this bloodline and to ascertain that as much
as possible is done to prevent congenitally unhealthy dogs from
being propagated.
  

I have read, understand, and agree to all of the terms stated above.
