2. Registered Name Requirement

​

Buyer agrees that the dog’s registered name shall begin with the kennel prefix:

“Muddy Mastiffs’” in the possessive case. For example: Muddy Mastiffs’ Nena.

 

Buyer agrees not to remove, alter, abbreviate, replace, or intentionally omit the Muddy Mastiffs’ kennel prefix from the dog’s official registration records.

​

Buyer understands they must double check their dog's registered name before producing puppies, because AKC will not allow it to be changed after pups are registered to the dog.

 

If Buyer removes, alters, abbreviates, replaces, or intentionally omits the Muddy Mastiffs’ kennel prefix, Buyer agrees to pay Seller liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000.

 

Buyer shall also be responsible for reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and collection costs incurred by Seller in enforcing this provision.

​

If Buyer breeds this dog to anything other than a purebred English Mastiff, Buyer agrees to pay Seller liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000 per litter.

​

4. Health Testing Requirement

​

This agreement does not preclude breedings that occur before 24 months, but Seller recommends that at a minimum breed-relevant DNA testing should be done on all dogs prior to breeding to inform suitable mate selection.

​

Buyer agrees that if this dog is used for breeding after twenty-four (24) months of age, Buyer shall complete reasonable breed-appropriate OFA health testing.

​

At a minimum, such testing shall include OFA hips and OFA elbows, or equivalent evaluations available at that time.

Buyer agrees to provide copies of completed testing results to Seller upon request.

​

Buyer understands that if the dog reaches twenty-four (24) months of age and required health testing has not been completed, breeding shall cease until testing is completed.

6. Veterinary Examination

​

Buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within seventy-two (72) hours of possession.

 

If a licensed veterinarian determines that the puppy was suffering from a serious communicable disease that existed prior to transfer, Buyer must provide written veterinary documentation to Seller.

7. General Health Guarantee

​

Seller guarantees that the puppy is believed to be healthy and free of known communicable diseases at the time of transfer. The puppy has been vaccinated, dewormed, and vet-checked.

​

However no fecal samples have been checked by a vet. Since pups are so young, the seller does not use toxic chemicals to treat fleas, ticks, or lice unless a problem is detected. Buyer is responsible for ongoing parasite prevention, vaccinations, flea/tick treatment, and routine veterinary care after transfer.

​

This guarantee does not cover parasites, stress-related diarrhea, minor respiratory symptoms, coccidia, giardia, or conditions that commonly occur during puppy transition unless a veterinarian determines that the condition was serious, communicable, and present prior to transfer.

​

Except as specifically stated in this Agreement, Seller makes no guarantees regarding future size, color, fertility, show quality, breeding ability, temperament, bite, ear set, structure, movement, longevity, or future health outcomes.

13. Deposits, Payments, and Cancellations

​

Buyer acknowledges that deposits are non-refundable except when Seller is unable or unwilling to provide Buyer with a puppy.
