This contract is written to assure you that you are receiving a puppy who is healthy and of good temperament. It is also written to assure us that you will follow some guidelines that we feel are very important in providing a safe and healthy life for this very special puppy. We are providing you with a quality companion dog who is not selected for breeding, and so this puppy is sold with a "limited registration." This means that AKC would not register the puppy offspring produced by this dog.

All of our puppies are sold with a health satisfaction guarantee that is in effect during the first
week after the pup leaves our home.
This puppy should be examined by your licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of receipt.
If the pup is deemed unhealthy, he should be returned to us immediately. You will receive a full refund if you and your Vet have found the puppy to be unhealthy or of poor temperament.

We guarantee that the dog/bitch will be functionally free of these genetic diseases which
are common in the Golden Retriever breed:

-hip dysplasia up to age two years as evidenced by a board certified radiologist interpretation and written report. OFA is our favored group of Radiologists

-hereditary eye defects within 12 months when diagnosed by a veterinary ophthalmologist with
documented report from MD.

-hereditary heart defect within 12 months. Proof of exam by
ACVIM Board Certified Cardiologist indicating his interpretations of auscultation
and/or echo cardiogram.

If one of these hereditary defects does occur in such a way that your dog's quality of life has been crippled, we will provide a replacement puppy of equal quality. You will have the choice to either keep the original puppy or return it to us.

In order for this guarantee to be valid you must agree to
~carry the "Painting" prefix in its registered name.

~feed the puppy premium quality adult dog food (no puppy food)

~provide frequent exercise, yet no hard exercise, no repetitive
jumping such as off a deck or from a van or truck or into the air for a Frisbee for the first two years
of the pup's life. This will ensure that the growth plates of the pups bones have fully closed.

~The pup must be kept at a lean, healthy weight.

These precautions will save the puppy from the environmental influences that are known
to cause hip dysplasia in Golden Retrievers and would be in no way be related to
genetic tendency toward hip dysplasia.

The dog must be provided with good health care including veterinarian
exams, immunizations or titers as recommended by your vet.

In the event that you are unable to keep the dog for any reason, you agree to contact us
and give us first option to accept the return of the dog.

You agree to contact us with any AKC wins or titles that the dog may receive.

You agree to provide a yard surrounded by barrier fencing, not invisible fence.

You agree that this dog will never be left tied outside and will primarily live in the house.

You agree that this puppy shall never be sold outside the United States
or to a dog broker, or any kennel facility, breeding farm, puppy mill, research facility,
or any environment of possible abuse.
