2. CONDITIONS OF SALE
The seller guarantees that at the time of pick up said puppy is healthy. Buyer is required to have said pup inspected by their vet within seven (7) days to verify the pup is in good health and to have a stool sample checked. Should dog be found to be in poor health of a serious nature, Seller will refund purchase price in full plus reasonable transportation fees to have pup returned. 

If Buyer should decide at a later time, they are not satisfied with dog, dog must be returned to Seller at Buyer's expense.  A refund will be given minus any expenses incurred by breeder to assess dog once returned.  Proof of testing expenses will be mailed to Buyer along with partial refund.

No refund will be given if Buyer did not comply with breeder's requirements for a successful companion (i.e. socialization, time, training).  Under no circumstances will a refund be made because a dog did not fall within a size catagory or coat type.  Although all attempts are made to accommodate your 'cosmetic' request, health and temperament are primary.  We cannot control hybrid canine genetics!   

The following conditions apply to the sale of the dog named above:

  • The buyer has up to SEVEN (7) days from the time of receipt of dog to have dog examined by a veterinarian. Any request to return the dog to the Seller for a full refund must be made within this time period and may only be requested should the dog prove to be seriously sick upon arrival. Proof of examination must be provided to seller. This guarantee will be terminated immediately if dog is not examined within the allotted time.
  • A warranty against all serious life altering genetic disease is provided for two years from date of birth and must be determined by up to three veterinarians which can include yours, mine and a third objective vet, if necessary.
  • There is NO warranty with regard to skin/food/environment allergies.  We have no control of the area your pup may be in, the food you choose to feed, or the places you go.  Allergies in dogs (like people) can develop at any time.
  • Nor will we refund or discount a puppy with a minor Grade 1 or 2 underbite - as long as this minor defect does not interfere with chewing or the general well being of the puppy/dog.  We will discount any puppy who has a Grade 3 or 4 underbite. Unfortunately, these are recessive genes that can occur and cannot be tested for prior to breeding.
  • A warranty against debilitating HD (Hip Dysplasia) is provided for two years from date of birth. The guarantee for HD will be terminated should dog be allowed to become overweight determined by documented veterinary standards (vet records will be required); or be involved in any physical trauma that could cause lameness/injury of any type or duration. Should dog be found to have debilitating HD within its first two years, buyer must provide seller with proof in the form of documentation from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals or PennHIP. The OFA or PennHIP
    x-rays must document that anesthesia was used for the diagnosis. We reserve the right to have a veterinarian of our choice confirm the results before a replacement, refund or surgery for correction (limited to monies paid for the pup/dog) is made. Please note that if surgery is chosen Annabelle Doodles of New England will pay said amount directly to the vet performing the operation. If pup/dog is overweight, Annabelle Doodles of New England is released from this obligation. Buyer, please initial: ________________________
  • Warranties shall apply only to original purchaser. Transfer of dog ownership shall void all such provisions of this agreement.
  • Under no circumstances shall the Seller be liable to the Buyer or to any third party for a dog which has been subjected to abuse, accident, negligence or misuse. Also, under no circumstances shall the seller be liable for any consequential incidental or special damages resulting from or in any manner related to the dog.
