If the Buyer(s) choose a replacement Puppy/Dog, Buyer(s) and Breeder/Seller shall make prompt arrangements within 10 days of receipt of certified letter and Veterinarian certification. Buyer(s) and Breeder/Seller will follow the advice of all vets involved. Buyer(s) shall be responsible for taking good and reasonable care of the Puppy/Dog until such decisions are made for euthanasia or for the return of the Puppy/Dog to the Breeder/Seller. Buyer(s) will be responsible for all vet costs. Costs and related expenses of returning the Puppy/Dog to Breeder/Seller shall be the obligation of the Breeder/Seller. Costs and related expenses of sending the replacement Puppy/Dog to the Buyer(s) shall be the obligation of the Breeder/Seller. Buyer(s) will refrain from posting on the internet, printing, or speaking (including email) any remarks about health issues in regards to the Puppy/Dog as they may be taken out of context and may be damaging to the Breeder/Seller’s reputation. These issues SHOULD ALWAYS be discussed ONLY with the Breeder/Seller. The Breeder/Seller will always be available to answer questions or assist with any issues, conditions or problems throughout the lifetime of the Puppy/Dog if contacted by the Buyer(s). It is the Breeder/Seller’s responsibility to mentor the Buyer(s). The Breeder/Seller discusses and consults when possible and compares health issues with other Breeders and bloodlines, studies pedigrees and bloodlines extensively and tries to learn from any known health issues that occur including advising other Breeders on breeding from known lines that have resulted from the Breeder/Sellers litters. If ANY health problems or issues arise –EVER- the Buyer(s) MUST INFORM the Breeder/Seller with a phone call and give the Breeder/Seller at least 48 hours to respond unless it’s a life threatening situation; if it’s a life threatening situation - follow your vet’s advice or get to an emergency vet if it’s after hours. If it’s an emergency please call day or night – please leave a message or text me if possible at 763-742-3140 – if we’re sleeping, I will return your call when I wake up and call you back as soon as possible. If there is treatment involved for a non-life threatening situation the Breeder/Seller must be informed BEFORE treatment is administered. The Neapolitan Mastiff is a little understood breed – especially in the case of demodec, cherry eye, dysplasia, enlarged heart in young females, excess vaginal folds/vaginitis/tucked vulva, etc. Please call the Breeder/Seller so that the Breeder/Seller can advise you from years of experience. Absolutely uncalled for procedures have been administered to puppies/adults when it wasn’t necessary. Most vets have little or no experience with Neapolitan Mastiffs. Hopefully the Breeder/Seller can save you time, money and unnecessary pain to your Puppy/Dog. Buyer(s)’ Initials and Date________________________ 4.) As a condition of the Ownership, the Buyer(s) will be financially responsible for ALL day to day care of this Puppy/Dog and for cherry eye surgery, entropia surgery, ectropian surgery or any other surgeries involving the eyes or the eye folds; surgery due to bloat or cruciate ligament rupture or any of the other ailments involving surgery. If the Buyer(s) cannot fulfill these obligations, the Breeder/Seller will take back the Puppy/Dog at no cost to the Breeder/Seller and there will be no refund to the Buyer(s). 5.) Full AKC Ownership of the Puppy/Dog will be assumed by the Buyer(s) for the sale price of $ US to be paid in payments as follows: a $250 Non-Refundable Deposit on execution of the Deposit and Purchase Agreement before shipping the Puppy/Dog or to hold the Puppy/Dog with the balance of $ SEE NOTES AT END OF CONTRACT*** to be paid before shipping the Puppy/Dog or the whole sum total as the first and only payment.

The Puppy/Dog being purchased by the Buyer(s) is being sold as a Pet/Companion.

It will be the choice of the Buyer(s) whether or not to show the Puppy/Dog in Conformation events unless this agreement states otherwise.

If the Buyer(s) choose to show the Puppy/Dog, or to breed her, the Breeder/Seller will mentor the Buyer(s).

Any expenses incurred for this act, including legal and travel expenses, will be paid by the Buyer(s) named in this contract. Buyer(s)’ Initials and Date________________________ 14.) Buyer(s) agrees to never breed this dog with any breed of dog other than another AKC, CKC registered or FCI/AKC/CKC (not FIC) registerable Neapolitan Mastiff. If the dog will be bred, the Breeder/Seller encourages “only the breeding of this animal that will better the breed” according to the set standards for the Neapolitan Mastiff. We encourage the Buyer(s) to research bloodlines and the process of breeding Neapolitan Mastiffs before planning to breed and accept some mentorship from the Breeder/Seller. Improving the breed and improving health should always be the number one priority in breeding.

Buyer(s)’ Initials and Date________________________ 16.) ***This Puppy/Dog is NOT being sold with Full registration. 17.) Buyer(s) agree that at least one basic obedience and/or Conformation training will be completed with the Puppy/Dog. Should the Puppy/Dog exhibit aggressive behavior which Buyer(s) deems intolerable and irreversible within 12 months after purchase, Buyer(s) will provide Breeder/Seller with proof that the Puppy/Dog has been sufficiently socialized and that obedience classes and other structured training methods have been attempted with no results. Upon receipt of such proof, evaluations of Puppy/Dog will be scheduled with three recognized Breeder(s) or trainers, one to be chosen by Buyer(s), one to be chosen by Breeder/Seller, and one to be chosen jointly.

Please see CONDITIONS*** And DISCLOSURES*** The Breeder/Seller agrees to disclose any known health issues or negative characteristics if known before the Puppy/Dog is released or shipped to the Buyer (s). Disclosures***: The regular price from this litter of pups for this Puppy/Dog would have been $1800.00 to $2500.00. A heavy discount has been given to the Buyer(s) for these conditions: 1.) Demodec is being treated and should be resolved. Breeder/Seller has <dipped> the Puppy/Dog with the product Mitoban according to the Breeder/Seller’ s vet’s instructions. It is anticipated but not guaranteed that this will remedy the situation. Buyer(s) should continue to use the shampoo Pyoben if needed according to instructions. 2.) The Puppy/Dog has a hernia that may need to be fixed or it may close up as the Puppy/Dog matures. The Buyer(s) should follow his/her vet’s advice. 3.) The Puppy/Dog has been treated for HOD/Pano/Growing Pains symptoms with Clavamox and an anti-inflammatory and his diet was reduced from Chicken Soup for the Soul Large Breed Puppy Food at 27% Protein and 13% fat (27/13) to Chicken Soup for the Soul Large Breed Adult food with a Protein level of 23% and a fat level of 13% fat (23/13). Please ask me about calcium to phosphorus levels. Please do a google search for the ``Great Dane Lady`` online. She is the best expert to listen to about growing giant breed dogs. (not growing large breed dogs). Pet foods have become a HUGE business catering to the needs and wants of the people who own the pets, not the pets themselves. Things are not always the way they seem. READ labels. Learn about dog foods. Do NOT feed your growing giant breed grain free food. There haven’t been ANY studies yet on this. I have already put one dog down because she became crippled by 18 months. She was fed grain free dog food with high protein the first year it came out from the time she was 4-5 months old. Buyer(s)’ Initials and Date_______________________ Conditions***: Buyer(s)’ Initials and Date________________________ This Agreement Is made and signed by both parties to insure the well-being and protection of this Puppy/Dog.

| WARNING: THIS IS ALOT OF INFO. If you don't have the patience to read it all you WILL NOT have the PATIENCE to own a Neapolitan Mastiff! This should NOT be an impulse buy...and we do not operate like a pet shop. Puppy Millers Go Away! This should be a very well thought out decision. We're talking about a living, breathing being who will be totally dependent on you. It's almost like having or adopting a child. It's a huge commitment and these puppies are sometimes harder to train than other puppies of other breeds. Please research before you buy! |
