The health and temperament of this dog is excellent to the best of our knowledge and belief at the time of sale.  The required vaccinations and wormings are as indicated on the health record below, attached, or sent with the dog.  We advise the Buyer, however, to have the dog examined by licensed veterinarian of Buyers choice within 48 hours after receipt of the dog.  We recommend you take a stool sample.  If the veterinarian finds the dog to be in poor health, the dog must be immediately returned to us at the expense of Buyer for a replacement of equal value, unless other arrangements are mutually agreed upon.  Failure to see a veterinarian within 48 hours will void all guarantees. 

If this dog develops bi-lateral crippling hip dysplasia at anytime from purchase to one year of age (confirmed by x-rays from a competent licensed Veterinarian), the dog should be returned to us at the expense of the Buyer.  We will replace the dog (due to crippling dysplasia) as soon as possible with a replacement of equal value to the dog at the time of original purchase.  We reserve the right to request that the x-rays be sent first for review to a board-certified Veterinary Radiologist or other Veterinarian of our choice.  Should the Buyer prefer to retain the said dog, the Buyer thereby forfeits any replacement, unless other arrangements are mutually agreed upon.  This guarantee is null and void if Penn-Hip procedure has been used at any time during life of dog. 
No further guarantee is made.             

Purchase price of  $3000 (plus shipping if applicable) is mutually acknowledged.  Buyer represents that he/she is buying this dog primarily as a personal or family companion even though the dog may have show quality structure.  Buyer understands dog is not guaranteed for show or breeding and Buyer has no obligation to Breeder/Seller for showing or breeding this dog (nor for sharing stud fees or puppies resulting thereof).  In the event, buyer is unable to keep the puppy/dog for any reason he/she agrees to notify and give Haus Merkel first option to take the puppy/dog back.   All sales are final and down payments/deposits and/or other payments are non-refundable.
