Buyer will show proof within 10  days of the date that the puppy was purchased that the puppy was seen by a vet and cleared the  examination of health.

7. I am requesting that you never give the rabies vaccine before 6 months of age, and any other  vaccines in a combination could be harmful. Breeders will not cover bloat, or nutritional related  diseases. Breeders will consider this contract as invalid if the dog is found to have structural problems  that have related from poor diet, and over vaccines. If the puppy is not sound, a detailed report from a  veterinarian must be supplied to the breeder.

8. Puppies come with a two year, nontransferable, health guarantee which covers genetic defects. If the  puppy is diagnosed within 2 years from date of birth, with proven congenital defect, the breeder will  replace the puppy with one equal or less in value when the replacement puppy is available. Breeder  doesn’t guarantee the sex or color of the replacement puppy. Buyer must provide proof of the  diagnosis from two separate veterinarians not at the same vet’s office for the replacement to be valid.  If the buyer chooses to keep the puppy, the buyer will refund 50% of the puppy’s original price (not  including shipping or maintenance fees). The breeding also requests the original puppy to be altered  (spayed or neutered), current on vaccines, submitted to the breeder to keep on file. Buyer is  responsible for all vet care and maintenance on the puppy after the puppy leaves the breeders house.  The breeder does not guarantee against conditions brought by stress or environmental changes. It  does NOT cover: Hypoglycemia, parasites, giardia, viral or bacterial infections, parvo, coccidiosis,  distemper, mycoplasma, brucellosis, or coronavirus. If the puppy was to lose a battle with a genetic  defect, within 6 months of the loss, and after the necropsy confirming the death is done, the breeder  will give a full credit for the replacement of the cost of the original cost of the puppy. 

9. If you are picking up the puppy, make sure that the puppy is not on the ground where standing water  is present, or where other dogs are frequent. Puppies should not be around that until at least 16 weeks  of age, after all shots were given. Parvo is heavy in the U.S and can be picked up almost anywhere. Seacoast Great Danes Page 4 The breeder has made every effort to reduce the risk of genetic health issues.
