PURCHASE CONTRACT AND GUARANTEE

Congratulations on the purchase of your American Bulldog. We feel that this is one of the best dog breeds ever created. The American Bulldog will do almost anything you ask of it, and is one of the most loyal, intelligent, protective dogs that you will find!

Enclosed in this care sheet/guarantee is the information we feel will help you in taking care of your new dog. Your dog has been weaned onto solid food.   Not all dog food is created equal.  We believe a raw diet is the most appropriate diet for your dog, but if you elect to feed commercial food, we will be happy to help you find one that will work with your budget and still provide high quality nutrition for your dog.

Your dog has been minimally vaccinated while at our home. Vaccinations already given at the time you pick up your puppy will be noted below. Any additional vaccination program is your choice. However, we strongly recommend researching and learning about less aggressive vaccination protocols and consider your options before vaccinating your puppy. It will ultimately be your decision, and should be discussed openly with your vet. If your vet cannot or will not provide you with information presenting pros and cons of either choice, choose another vet. You can get more information on vaccinations and vaccinosis by surfing the internet, and can start here: http://betamillion.homestead.com/vaccinosis.html

You are being supplied with a registration for the National Kennel Club and the American Bulldog Association. You must pick a name for your dog and return the form to the registries with the appropriate fee for the dog to be registered. We would appreciate it if you would append your dog’s registered name with “of Eagle’s Wing” or “of EWK.”

Guarantee:

Our dogs are guaranteed to be free of congenital defects, and also guaranteed to be free of serious infectious diseases (ie. parvovirus). The puppy must be vet checked for infectious diseases within forty-eight hours of purchase of the dog for this guarantee to be valid. If a dog becomes sick within the incubation period of leaving our kennels, and the problem can be traced to our kennel, we will reimburse the owner up to the purchase price of the dog. If the dog is immediately treated and still dies, we will choose a replacement puppy of comparable value as soon as one becomes available. We also guarantee against the following genetic problems;

A) Hip dysplasia - The dog must be Pennhip certified at two years of age. The evaluation must come back higher than the median score, with degenerative joint disease (DJD), for replacement of the dog.

B) Crossed eyes

C) Congenital Heart Problems

D) Entropian or Ectropion

E) NCL and/or Icthyosis: If one of your puppy’s parents carries the recessive gene for one of these disorders, your puppy has been DNA tested in order to identify whether it is also carrier of the gene. Eagle’s Wing Kennels guarantees your dog will not be affected by either disorder. Purchaser is agrees and covenants to ensure that any pup identified as a carrier is not bred to another dog identified as a carrier in the future to avoid producing affected dogs.

All guarantees are void if the dog has been bred, is injured, malnourished, overweight, or kept in an improper environment. We will replace a defective dog after we receive written proof, x-rays, etc., from your vet, and a second opinion from our vet. We also require that you provide proof of spaying or neutering the dog in question. The replacement dog will be of our choice, and of comparable value.

The purchaser agrees that if they can no longer keep the dog, it will be returned to Eagle’s Wing Kennels American Bulldogs, not an animal shelter or dog pound. Purchaser will receive no compensation from us, as we will be incurring vet bills and food bills for the rescued animal.

The information and help we provide as breeders of American Bulldogs does not end with the sale of a dog to you. We encourage you to keep in touch with us. We appreciate progress reports, and we love getting pictures. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to give us a call. Thank you and enjoy your dog!
