RESPONSIBILITY

A puppy’s immunity is not strong enough to be exposed to potentially deadly viruses (such as parvovirus) before the puppy vaccinations are complete. During the time between receiving your puppy and the completion of puppy vaccinations (approximate age of 16 weeks), it is the Purchaser’s responsibility to keep the puppy away from public places including, but not limited to, pet stores, puppy school, Doodle Romps, parks, etc.

Puppy will have received vaccinations appropriate to its age before transfer of ownership which is typically around 8 weeks. OffTheEdge Groodles will vaccinate the puppy at 6 weeks of age. In addition to the initial examination, Purchaser must ensure that puppy also receives a second and third immunization at 12 weeks and 16 weeks of age and annual immunizations thereafter.

Purchaser is responsible to care for the dog as a companion pet with quality food, exercise, indoor living quarters, reliable fence, and regular veterinarian care.

Purchaser is responsible to keep the dog fit and not allow the dog to become overweight, as this will contribute to hip Dysplasia and other health issues. The puppy should not participate in strenuous or repetitive jumping exercise (such as Frisbee jumping) in the first year of its life as such activity can be detrimental to bone development will contribute to hip Dysplasia.

Purchaser is responsible for properly training and socialising their puppy. This includes teaching the puppy obedience and manners (no nipping, chewing, barking etc). Should Purchaser have difficulties training their puppy, they agree to make use of a certified, professional trainer to assist them.

In the case of Hip Dysplasia (HD), Purchaser must provide documentation from an independent qualified radiologist, proving the dog will suffer from the genetic problem. OffTheEdge Groodles may require the puppy to be taken to a Veterinarian of our choice for examination and/or treatment. This is at the discretion of OffTheEdge Groodles. The guarantee against HD will be terminated should the dog be allowed to become overweight (through vet records) or if X-Rays indicate physical trauma that caused or contributed to the issue.

For problems not relating to HD, two independent veterinary examinations and reviews (at Purchasers costs) must be provided to OffTheEdge Groodles documenting the genetic health issue. Reimbursement of veterinary fees will be provided to Purchaser once copies of the medical reports are received by Breeder. Reports must state the treatments provided, and fees for the treatments.
