1. Certain breeds of dogs may be affected by disease, some of which are genetic, or partly genetic in origin. You acknowledge that:
1.1 You have been advised to consult a Veterinary Surgeon to discuss this Breed and any potential problems the breed may have. A Veterinary Surgeon is the person best qualified to advise you on such matters.
2. You are advised to take the Puppy to your Veterinary Surgeon for a general health check within two days of the purchase date. The check up and any associated tests, examination or certificates, will be at your expense as you hereby acknowledge.
3. If the Veterinary Surgeon finds any problem which in his opinion renders the Puppy unfit for sale, you may return the Puppy for a full refund of the purchase price provided that:
3.1 You specifically confirm that I will not be held responsible for any distress caused by the return of the Puppy.
3.2 You are solely liable for any costs associated with the return of the Puppy to me.
3.3 The Puppy is returned within 5 days of sale in the same state of health in which it was sold.
3.4 You provide a written statement from your vet setting out the problem and including the name and identifying microchip number.
4. You guarantee that the Puppy will not be transferred to a third party, without my express permission in writing under any circumstances. If this clause is breached, and I am forced to locate the Puppy, you acknowledge that you will be liable for the costs of recovery, including overseas recovery if the Puppy is found to be exported, whether or not the you knew the Puppy was exported. You MUST return the puppy to me if at any stage you choose to rehome him/her. I will only reimburse any monies in this situation once the dog has had time to settle and a new suitable home has been found. This will not be a full refund on the purchase price and simply a good will gesture as it will take time, training and considerable effort to find an older ABBB the right home.
5. You guarantee that your fencing is sufficient to keep an active Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog within your property and that this puppy will not be kept permanently in a kennel or cage and will NEVER be tied up. He/she will not be regularly left unattended for periods longer than four hours.
6. You confirm that you will properly house, feed, water and exercise this dog and will arrange for appropriate veterinary attention if and when required. You will not allow it to roam free or to cause a nuisance to neighbours or those carrying out official duties. When away from home you will ensure that the dog wears a property tagged collar and shall be kept leashed or under effective control at all times.
7. Should you have any tests undertaken on this dog including tests for Hip Dysplasia, Heart Tests, Thyroid, Eye Screening plus any other tests which could be of interest to me due to their possible effect on future breeding programmes a copy of the results will be passed to me. All tests to be undertaken at your own cost.
8. You confirm that you will attend training/socialisation classes with this Puppy (It is advised that these are carried on for at least two years to ensure a well socialised and trained Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog)
9. You agree to advise me twice a year of the dog’s progress by virtue of phone calls or photographs or video tapes showing the condition of the dog and will not hesitate to contact me with any problems or questions that you may have concerning the ownership of the dog.
10. You will inform me of any and all changes of address and/or telephone numbers during the ownership of the dog.
11. You will not at any stage produce cross bred puppies from this dog. He/she must NEVER be used to produce anything other then PUREBRED, ABBA registered puppies.
12. You will not breed from a dog puppy until he is at least 12 months old age and at least 18 months of age for a bitch and only then if they are sound, very good examples of the breed with a completely sound temperament. No bitch over the age of 8 years will ever be bred.
13. You will NEVER breed your bitch to litter more than once a year and only then if she is in a fit condition to do so. There is never a good reason to breed back to back/every season litters. It takes time for a bitch to recover from raising a litter especially in a breed that has such large litters.
14. You understand that it can take several months for the ABBA registration papers to arrive. They will be forwarded to you as soon as they do but, I cannot be held responsible for how long this takes.
