Terms and Conditions

*This contract will be signed electronically before puppy pickup day or before a puppy is scheduled to travel.

NON-REFUNDABLE DOWN PAYMENT

To reserve a puppy from an existing litter, a $500 non-refundable down payment is required.  If the buyer is unable to follow through with the purchase of the reserved puppy for any reason, the $500 non-refundable down payment is forfeited.

HEALTH GUARANTEE

Seller certifies that this puppy is a Corgi of sound body, good health, and free of communicable diseases as far as can be determined. This puppy has received puppy shots appropriate for the puppy’s age and has been treated for parasites. Buyer is to have the puppy examined by their veterinarian within three days of the sale, otherwise the health guarantee will be void. Within three (3) years from the date of purchase, should your puppy develop any genetic skeletal disorder, which disorder will severely diminish your puppy's quality and enjoyment of life and/or necessitate euthanasia, upon receipt of (1) a letter from a duly licensed veterinarian attesting to such condition (copies of x-rays will be required), (2) a copy of the O.F.A. evaluation report, (3) a second opinion from a vet of the Sellers choice that states the same diagnosis, (4) a spay or neuter certificate verifying spay or neuter at the appropriate time and (5) the registration certificate on such puppy, you will receive a replacement puppy of equal or greater value from our next available litter or a refund of the purchase price less shipping expenses.  A pet puppy who is found to have a mild condition, which condition will not in any way shorten or diminish the quality of life for that puppy, will NOT be replaced or refunded. If the parents of the puppy are found and confirmed to be clear of the condition and we cannot confirm if the disorder is caused by genetics the puppy will not be replaced or refunded. 

Within three (3) years from the date of purchase, should your puppy develop any other genetic disorder that is testable at the time of the sale and that will severely diminish you puppy’s quality and enjoyment of life and/or necessitate euthanasia, upon receipt of (1) a letter from a duly licensed veterinarian attesting to such condition, (2) any other supporting test results and/or documents, (3) a second opinion from a vet of the Sellers choice that states the same diagnosis, (4) a spay or neuter certificate verifying spay or neuter at the appropriate time and (5) the registration certificate on such puppy, you will receive a replacement puppy of equal or greater value from our next available litter or a refund of the purchase price less any shipping expenses. A pet puppy who is found to have a mild condition, which condition will not in any way shorten or diminish the quality of life for that puppy, will NOT be replaced or refunded. Native Corgis genetically tests all parents prior to breeding, however, science evolves and testing is available for more conditions as time goes on. We cannot guarantee anything that was not able to be tested for at the time of sale. 

Seller must be provided with a written report of the dog's health problem from Buyer's veterinarian. If the seller deems it necessary, the buyer agrees to get a second opinion from a vet of the Sellers choice. The Buyer assumes full responsibility for all costs and care during this time.  Seller is not responsible for any stress related illness following transport or shipping.  At no time other than when a puppy is in the Seller’s possession, will the seller be responsible for any medical expenses. 

The buyer agrees to feed an approved diet that we have listed as an option to ensure proper growth. If the buyer feeds anything outside of what the Seller suggests, the health guarantee is void. The buyer must keep all receipts for dog food to prove they were kept on an approved diet in the event that the health guarantee is needed. 

FOOD AND NUTRITION

Buyer agrees to feed a quality dog food that the Seller has approved and the puppy must be always kept in good health and good body condition. The buyer understands that they cannot feed grain free dog food. 

If the buyer chooses to feed PawTree dog food that is grain inclusive for the first three (3) years of the puppy’s life, the health guarantee will be extended to 5 (five) years from the date of purchase. 

The buyer agrees to give the puppy NuJoint daily for three (3) years from the date of purchase.

The buyer agrees to give Nuvet daily for one (1) year from the date of purchase.

If the buyer does not continue with the agreed upon diet and supplements, the health guarantee will be null and void.

In the event of needing to use the health guarantee, the buyer must present all receipts of approved dog food and supplements purchased to verify that the puppy was kept on the agreed upon diet and supplements. 

LIMITED REGISTRATION: SPAY/NEUTER AGREEMENT

This puppy is being purchased with a spay/neuter agreement and may not be bred (intentionally or unintentionally). Buyer agrees to spay or neuter this puppy between six to twelve months of age and provide proof from the vet. Proof from the vet may be provided in one of the following forms: a.) a copy of the spay/neuter certificate signed by the buyer’s veterinarian b.) or a copy of the receipt from the spay/neuter procedure with the veterinarians contact information included. The buyer agrees to not have the puppy spayed/neutered at a “low-cost” practice/organization for the puppy’s safety and wellness.  Failure to comply with this agreement will void the health guarantee unless there are extenuating circumstances that have been discussed & agreed upon in writing between Buyer and Seller.  Violation of this agreement may result in unconditional surrender of the dog to the seller. If the buyer fails to comply with this agreement and it results in puppies, the buyer will surrender the dog and incur a fine, that will be paid to the Seller, for the monetary value of the puppies produced by said puppy.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEE

Seller guarantees that Buyer will be satisfied with the puppy purchased. If Buyer is not satisfied with the puppy received, the puppy may be returned to Seller at Buyer's expense. Seller will replace the puppy with a puppy of equal or greater value from the next available litter or a refund of the purchase price less the non-refundable down payment and any costs incurred due to the return of the puppy will be made. This Satisfaction Guarantee is valid for 72 hours after the Buyer receives the puppy. The refund will not be given back until the puppy is placed into a new home. 

REGISTRATION

All litters at Native Corgis are registered CKC (Continental Kennel Club) and/or registered with AKC (American Kennel Club). Upon receipt of proof of spay or neuter, the actual registration application will be sent to the buyer immediately if requested. A small fee may apply to receive the registration applications. This fee just covers the fee from the registration organization.

Your puppy is eligible for registration after proof of spay/neuter for $30. (This expense covers the cost to get registration papers for the litter. There may be additional fees with AKC or CKC when sending in registration.)

GENERAL AGREEMENT

If at any time or for any reason this dog cannot be kept, the Buyer agrees to contact the Seller.  No dog is to be sold elsewhere or ownership transferred from the original buyer without prior permission from the Seller.  Should it become necessary for the Seller to attempt to find an appropriate new home for the dog, all documents must be returned to Seller.  If an appropriate home is found within 4 weeks, the money collected will be refunded less any expenses incurred while finding the dog a home and the non-refundable down payment.  After 4 weeks, the dog will be offered at no cost to find it an appropriate home as the dog’s advancing age often makes it harder to place.  In such a situation, no money will be refunded.  The welfare of the dog will be the primary concern in any situation.

Buyer agrees to provide this dog with a high-quality agreed upon diet and supplements, monthly heartworm preventative, flea and tick medicine and all appropriate vaccinations and medical care. Buyer agrees not to mistreat this dog in any way.  Buyer agrees to train and socialize this dog.

Violation of any part of this contract will constitute Buyer's unconditional surrender of the purchased dog and all registration documents at no cost to Seller.

Note: Contract not binding until signed by both Buyer and Seller. Upon signature completion, this contract will become a legal and binding document, as agreed by Buyer and Seller.  If the need should arise to settle any legal disputes concerning this puppy, the buyer agrees to have all proceedings conducted in Parker County, Texas. In the event of litigation from either party, the seller is entitled to reimbursement to reasonable attorney fees.
