(403) 782-6946

This agreement is between
Lynda Hand of Seda Havanese (hereafter referred to as the Breeder)
AND
_____________________________ (hereafter referred to as the Buyer)

Seda Havanese agrees to the sale of a Havanese as follows:

Whelped

CKC Litter No.

Gender

Color

Markings

Microchip #

Sire:

CKC No.

Dam:

CKC No.


The above describe is sold under the following term and conditions as agreed to by Breeder and Buyer.

1.     The Breeder has taken every reasonable effort to produce a litter that conforms to the current CKC Havanese breed standard and to ensure the physical soundness and temperament of the dog; including its Sire and Dam themselves are free of hereditary defects as far as known; and due diligence of health testing has been completed on both parents including, but not limited to, BAER, Cerf, Hips, Patella’s and Elbows.
2.     On the date of this contract there are no genetic health tests available for the Havanese.  Chondrodysplasia and liver shunts occur through an unknown mode of inheritance of multiple recessive genes. Hip dysplasia has a complex mode of inheritance and the expression of the disease is strongly affected by the environment.  To the best of our ability the dam/sire of this litter have been tested and the pedigree history studied, prior to breeding, to minimize genetic inheritance.  The breeder will communicate all future health knowledge about the dam/sire and littermates to the buyer to assist in future health assessments of the dog.  The buyer will ensure that the breeder has current contact information to facilitate this communication.   ( _______)
3.     The Buyer agrees that he/she is not acting as a broker or agent in the purchase of this dog and the Buyer warrants the dog will remain in his/her sole custody.                                                                                                                       ( _______)
4.     The above dog is a purebred Havanese eligible for registration with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). Included in the purchase price, the Breeder agrees to complete final registration of the dog and will keep the prefix ‘Seda’ in the registered name selected by the Breeder. Unless the dog is sold on a show agreement, the dog will be registered in Buyers name’s on a non-breeding agreement. For development and health reasons we ask that spay or neuter is delayed until the pup is 12 – 18 months and the Veterinary Certificate of Sterilization has been provided to the Breeder - refund will follow.
5.     There is no difference in price between potential “show” Havanese and a "pet" dog.  They come from the same parents, have the same pedigree and have had the same care.  The difference is in the purchaser's obligations under this contract and to the dog, therefore it is agreed that this puppy is being sold as a pet/companion and should NOT be bred and no litters produced by the breeding of this animal. A $3000 penalty will be paid to Breeder if said dog/bitch is bred and the potential show addendum agreement* will be required by the Breeder if the dog is continued to be bred.                                                                                                                                                                          ( ______)
        If the dog is to be purchased for show potential or Breeding Rights an addendum agreement* will be attached.                              
6.     Upon acceptance of this contract by both parties, a deposit of $___________ is required to ensure the dog be held for the Buyer. The remaining $_________________ shall be paid immediately upon Buyer taking possession and paid in the form of a ‘cashier’s check’ or money order and payable to Breeder personally. The deposit will be refunded to the Buyer if the Buyer terminates this contract within ten (10) days from Breeder’s receipt of deposit.  The deposit will also be refunded on pet/companion agreement once Veterinary Certificate of Sterilization has been provided.  It will not be refunded if the dog has been bred or presented at a registered dog show* as a conformation prospect.
7.     The Breeder has made every effort to ensure the puppy is in a normal and healthy condition prior to purchase. This puppy has been vet checked by______________________________, ______________ AB (403) _____________________. This puppy will come with an up to date health record including deworming, immunization dates and any other health checks.
8.     The Buyer agrees to assume full responsibility for the dog once it leaves the Breeders premises. At the Buyer’s expense the Buyer is to have the above described Havanese checked by his/her veterinarian. If a Veterinarian certifies in writing that the dog is not in good health within one week of the dog leaving the breeders home, the buyer has the right to return the dog to the breeder after the Veterinarian examination with the written, signed explanation and the Buyer will receive a full refund of the purchase price. Breeder’s responsibility for communicable diseases is void if not reported within seven (7) days of initial receipt of the dog. In the event this dog dies, no refund will be given unless an autopsy is performed and the cause of death is determined by the Buyer’s Veterinarian to have been caused by a specific genetic defect in the dog and the Breeder has received a written copy of the autopsy with the Veterinarian’s opinion as to the cause of death. The refund that will be provided after an autopsy has been performed will be the cost of the autopsy, including all Veterinary bills combined total, up to the price of the dog. The Breeder is not responsible for any health issues or loss of life due to poor quality of foods or improper feeding, reactions caused by vaccinations or flea and tick preparations administered either orally or skin surface. The Breeder is also not responsible for any puppy death due to injuries sustained, hypoglycaemia, dehydration or other illness that could have been prevented by the Buyer.  
9.     The Breeder guarantees against juvenile cataracts or premature retinal detachment, however the specification of ‘genetic’ does not include old age or injury related cataracts. It is in the best interest of the buyer to have the dogs eyes examined by a Veterinary certified Ophthalmologist after the age of 24 months and provide to the Breeder notification of health. The Breeder does guarantee clear eyes on both parents at the time of breeding and will provide copies of current Canine Eye Registration (CERF).  If, within five (5) years, a genetic defect(s) is discovered and is detrimental to the dog’s health, and if the buyer doesn't wish to return the pup, the vet expenses would be considered by the Breeder up to the price of the pup.  Cancer or other environmental or nutritional related diseases are not guaranteed.                                                                                               ( ______)
10.  Buyer agrees to provide the dog with routine and regular veterinarian immunizations and care.
Please do not allow Corona vaccine to be administered to this pup, as it is unnecessary and possibly detrimental to the pup’s health. If Leptospirosis is a problem in your area, give this vaccine separately from other vaccines and at least 3 weeks apart from other vaccines. If Leptospirosis is NOT a problem in your area, please do not allow your puppy to receive this vaccine.
11.  The Buyer must provide the dog with a proper environment. That is to provide food of sufficient quality and quantity as to keep the Havanese in optimum condition, clean water, proper shelter and adequate exercise either in a fenced yard or under constant supervision on leash. Under no circumstances is the dog to be allowed to run unsupervised in a non-fenced yard. Any and all guarantees or other commitments between Breeder and Buyer contained herein or otherwise are null and void if the dog is found to be deprived of proper nutrition, or worked or exercised prior to the time the growth plates of the dog’s joints have closed, or if the dog is vaccinated in any way other than as set forth above, specifically including vaccination for Leptospirosis, or appears to be in an abused condition.
12.  Should the Buyer put any CKC title on the dog, such as obedience, rally obedience, agility, etc the Breeder will award a $50 bonus for the accomplishment. The Buyer agrees to send Seda Havanese a copy of each "win" photograph.
13.  The Buyer may not resell or otherwise transfer the above mentioned Havanese to a third party without the permission of the Breeder. Nor may the Buyer place the mentioned dog in a Humane Society, dog pound or shelter.
Instead, if the Buyer is unable to care for the dog, they are to contact the Breeder who will in turn buy back the dog for the original purchase price.

The Buyer has read and agrees to all of the terms and conditions contained herein. NO VARIATIONS ARE ACCEPTED UNLESS IN WRITING AND AGREED UPON AND SIGNED BY BOTH BREEDER AND BUYER. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions herein entitles the Breeder to either (1) fine the Buyer $2000 or (2) to repossess the dog and its CKC/AKC registrations from the Buyer, WITHOUT refund AND at Buyer’s expense.
