6) Puppies are not sold on a trial basis but, Puppy/dog may be returned to breeder/seller at any time during it's lifetime, if the need to rehome it arises (no refunds or exchanges will be made). This puppy/dog must never be placed with a rescue organization, shelter, pound or any other such organization. If a situation such as this arises, you are simply agreeing to return the puppy/dog to me to rehome. Purchasing a puppy should not be an impulsive decision and it is your responsibility to understand that you are making a decision for the lifetime of the puppy.

7) It is required that you find a reputable veterinarian to keep this puppy up to date on vaccinations and wormings as stated in BIRDPATCH KENNELS VACCINE PROTOCOL (see VACCINE PROTOCOL section). It is Strongly recommended that you continue the pup/dog on a quality premium diet such as "Bil-Jac" , "Eagle-Pack", "Flint River", "Royal Canine" brands of commercial dog/puppy food. Please select carefully and don't be fooled by popularity and price. Most "veterinary recommended" dog (and cat) food products are NOT good diets. They use chemical preservatives that have been shown to cause problems in some animals, and they use by-products, which are words on the ingredient label that need to be avoided at all costs. This generally means food not utilized for human consumption. If you feed a carefully selected commercial food, some supplementation with fresh food is necessary to maximize your companions' health. There are many breed-specific conditions, ailment and afflictions that can be largely avoided simply through proper diet and nutrition. Many animal health issues arise from poor quality food products such as skin and allergy problems as well as other more serious health problems. Quality brands may be more expensive, but the expense you will save in medical cost as well as the improved long term happiness of your pet makes it actually more economical in the long term. Purchaser agrees to keep this puppy in top condition.

8) Adult size, conformation, color, and pattern are not guaranteed. Breeder/seller assumes no responsibility for puppy after it leaves the premises, for medical expenses, mortality, puppy's behavior, family disagreement, or any other reason. It is understood that no warranty or representation has been made regarding this puppy, except as set forth in writing in this agreement.

BIRDPATCH KENNELS VACCINE PROTOCOL

Through much research and study, our kennel has developed a vaccine protocol that is intended to minimize the occurrence of autoimmune disorders so common to the standard poodle breed. By electing to use ONLY killed virus vaccines (no MLV's), separate vaccines, administering each individually and in a rotating fashion, rather than the more convenient and less expensive method of multi-vaccinating, we believe risks of immune system malfunction is greatly reduced. Failure to adhere to our strict schedule, or brand/type recommendation will result in the GENETIC HEALTH GUARANTEE portion of this contract becoming immediately null and void.
