leapfrog labradoodles

purchase agreement and health warranty

_
Leapfrog's motto is: Happy dogs. Happy people.

We do everything possible to ensure that your puppy arrives happy and healthy. We start by breeding only dogs that have undergone and done well on all relevant health tests. We follow-up with a comprehensive health care regiment for our puppies that includes examination, deworming, vaccinations, and microchip implant. We are proud of our high standards in health testing and we will gladly show you our parent dogs' health records and respond to any questions that you may have.

We also guarantee that each of our breeding dogs is a treasured family member who has the opportunity to live life to the fullest. We are not a kennel. Your puppy is born and raised in a family environment and has been exposed to a wide range of experiences. He or she will arrive well socialized and eager to become a member of your family.

Leapfrog Labradoodles Health Warranty

Your puppy comes with a 3-year warranty against genetic health issues.

Breeder's Responsibilities

  1. The Breeder guarantees the puppy is in good health at the time of delivery. The Buyer has 3 business days to take the puppy to a licensed veterinarian for an examination. If the puppy is found to be in poor health, the Buyer has the option of returning the puppy to the Breeder, at the Buyer’s expense, for a full refund. The Buyer may also keep the puppy, and the Breeder will reimburse for all veterinary costs, up to the purchase price, related to treatment of the pre-existing condition. The Buyer will provide a written statement from a licensed veterinarian clearly stating the defect or illness. 
  2. The Breeder provides this warranty for the first 3 years of the puppy’s life against any debilitating or life threatening genetic illness. In the event the puppy exhibits symptoms of a suspected debilitating or life threatening genetic illness, the Buyer must supply any requested veterinary records to the Breeder within 7 days of the illness being diagnosed. All veterinary records must be supplied to the Breeder and the puppy does not need to be returned to us. In the case of hip dysplasia, the Buyer must provide documentation from OFA or PennHIP and in the case of cataracts or PRA, the Buyer must provide records from a Veterinary Ophthalmologist. The puppy's permanent identification (microchip) number must be included in all documentation. 
  3. The Breeder has gone to great lengths to ensure that all pups produced are as healthy as possible. However, cancers, foreign body ingestion, behavioral issues, accidents, infections, viral illnesses, allergies, improper bites, giardia and coccidiosis are considered normal costs and risks of pet ownership and the Buyer is advised to discuss risk reduction strategies with their veterinarian and to acquire private pet insurance for such as the Breeder offers no warranty or guarantee of any kind for non-genetic issues.
  4. If the puppy develops a debilitating or life threatening genetic disorder that is identified within 3 years of purchase, the Breeder will replace the puppy from the next available litter or reimburse the Buyer, up to the purchase price of the puppy, of all veterinary expenses related to the illness (Breeder's choice). Your puppy need not be returned to us. Shipping fees will not be refunded, and if it becomes necessary to ship a replacement puppy, those fees are to be paid by the Buyer.
  5. If the puppy should die from a suspected genetic defect within the 36 months of its date of birth, an autopsy must be performed at the Buyer’s expense by a licensed Veterinarian acceptable to the Breeder’s own veterinarian. If the autopsy shows a genetic defect as the reason or the death, the Breeder will provide another puppy of equal value to the Buyer. A written statement from the veterinarian must be provided. This warranty is void in the event of an indeterminable or inconclusive diagnosis.
  6. The Breeder reserves the right to obtain a second opinion from a veterinarian of the Breeder’s choice at the Breeder’s expense.  If the puppy is euthanized or in any way disposed of, without a second opinion from the Breeder’s veterinarian, the Buyer waives all rights to a replacement puppy or to any financial payment as compensation.
  7. No warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, are made under this contract except as stated.
  8. This warranty is non-transferable. 

Buyer's Responsibilities

This warranty is conditional upon the Buyer meeting all of the requirements under Buyer’s Responsibilities below.

  1. Buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a certified veterinarian of their choice within 3 business days of receiving the puppy. If the puppy is found to be in poor health, the Buyer has the option of returning the puppy for a full refund or of keeping the puppy and the Breeder will reimburse up to the purchase price of the puppy for the cost treating any pre-existing genetic condition. Any requests to return the puppy or request a reimbursement must be made within this timeframe, and must be accompanied by proof of examination, records noting the permanent identification of the puppy, and documentation showing that the puppy was seriously ill upon arrival. If the puppy is not taken to a licensed veterinarian within 3 business days, this warranty is void.
  2. Buyer agrees to provide the puppy with a safe and loving home.
  3. Buyer agrees to feed the puppy only a premium quality dog food. Dog food purchased at the grocery store does not constitute a premium diet.
  4. Buyer agrees to take the puppy for an annual veterinary check up and to follow all preventative treatment recommended by the veterinarian.
  5. Buyer will not allow the puppy to become overweight.
  6. Buyer will not allow the puppy to engage in rigorous or repetitive exercise during its first year of life. 
  7. Buyer agrees to take the puppy to at least one training class by the time the puppy is 4 months of age. Leapfrog Labradoodles recommends positive, reward-based (force-free) training only.
  8. Buyer agrees to use flat collars or harnesses only, and refrain from using choke chains, prong collars or shock collars, including shock collars designed for use with invisible fencing.  
  9. Buyer agrees to contact Leapfrog Labradoodles if at any time during the dog's life s/he is unable to care for the dog. Should the Buyer be unable to care for the dog, the Buyer agrees to return the dog to us at the Buyer's expense. Ownership may not be transferred without prior written permission from Leapfrog Labradoodles. The Buyer agrees never to relinquish the dog to a shelter under any circumstances.
  10. Buyer agrees to notify Leapfrog Labradoodles if, any point during the dog's lifetime, the dog develops a serious illness. This information assists us greatly in producing the healthiest puppies possible.​
  11. All puppies are sold as family pets on a strict, non-breeding contract. Buyer will spay or neuter the puppy on or BEFORE 6 months of age and submit evidence to SpaySecure. If the Buyer does not spay or neuter the Puppy and provide evidence to SpaySecure before the deadline, or uses the Puppy, or allows the Puppy to be used, for breeding purposes, the Breeder reserves the right to take any or all of the following actions:
  • reclaim the Puppy without any form of compensation or reimbursement to the Buyer;
  • charge the Buyer a fee of $15,000.00 as liquidated damages, plus court costs in addition to any penalties charged by SpaySecure;
  • pursue any other remedy available to the Breeder in law or in equity; and
  • take all actions as may reasonably be required to cure the default, and all payments, costs and expenses incurred by the Breeder shall be payable by the Buyer to the Breeder on demand 

This agreement will be binding upon the parties, their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the agreement and contains all of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the respective parties, and may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing executed by all parties. This agreement supersedes all prior agreements.
The undersigned hereby acknowledge reading and understanding the entire agreement and agree to be bound by the terms hereof. 

We have read and agree to the above terms and conditions. They apply only to the original owner and are not transferable. The health warranty is null and void if all of the above conditions have not been met.
