Contract/Guarantee
NON BREEDING AGREEMENT
YOUR GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY IS BEING SOLD TO YOU ON A
NON-BREEDING AGREEMENT AND I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN WHY.
A NON-BREEDING AGREEMENT IS AN IMPORTANT, STRICT CODE OF ETHICS THAT ALL REPUTABLE BREEDERS FOLLOW. WHEN A PERSON DECIDES TO BREED A LITTER OF PUPPIES, IT IS SHOULD BE WITH ONE REASON IN MIND. THIS IS TO BREED FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE BREED. THIS MEANS THAT OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE IS THE QUALITY OF THE MATES AND WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THAT UNION IS LIKELY TO PRODUCE. THERE IS A LOT OF PLANNING, RESEARCH, TIME, MONEY AND OF COURSE LOVE AND CARE THAT GO INTO NUTURING A LITTER OF ADORABLE PUPPIES TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE READY TO GO TO THEIR NEW HOMES. A NON-BREEDING AGREEMENT HELPS BREEDERS TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER BREED AND IT’S FUTURE.
IT IS THROUGH MY LOVE FOR THIS WONDERFUL BREED THAT MY GOAL IS TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE QUALITIES THAT FIEST ATTRACTED US TO IT.

JOYSO KENNEL HEALTH GUARANTEE AND CONTRACT OF SALE
The breeder and the purchaser agree that this golden retriever is being sold, on both a CKC non breeding agreement and a personal non breeding contract, to fulfill the role of a cherished family companion and as such will be spayed or neutered.
This golden retriever has been examined by a veterinarian, given its first set of vaccinations and has been wormed. To the knowledge and belief of this breeder, it is in healthy condition and ready to go to its new home.
If, however, after examination by a veterinarian of the purchaser’s choice, this golden retriever is determined to be in unhealthy condition, it can be returned to the breeder for a full refund. Any such claim must be made within 3 days of the date of sale and be substantiated by a written report, signed by the examining veterinarian.
All veterinary expenses, after the golden retriever’s departure from the breeder, are the responsibility of the purchaser except where it concerns a refund.
The sale of this golden retriever puppy is subject to the following rights and obligations of both the purchaser and the breeder.
PURCHASER:
The purchaser agrees to personally care for the dog in a healthy and safe manner such as but not limited to:
1) provide a safe fenced in yard for the dog to play and exercise in.
2) provide quality nutrition and fresh clean water for the dog.
3) provide responsible veterinary care
4) taking it to obedience classes
5) this dog is to be raised as an indoor family companion, not kept outside for extended periods of time…golden retrievers are very people oriented (it is just one of the traits that endear them to us) and as such do not thrive living as an “outdoor dog”.
6) eye diseases are becoming very prevalent in the golden retriever breed, as such, annual eye exams (either by your veterinarian or a certified canine ophthalmologist) must be performed. This can be done when you take your golden in for its annual wellness exam.
The dog MUST be kept in healthy physical condition, this is VERY important to the overall health of the dog. Please avoid either extreme of too little or too much weight, as this places stress on your dog through out its entire life time. First on the puppy’s developing bones and joints, then on the mature adult dog’s ability to participate in all that life has to offer and finally on the senior dog’s aging bones, joints and circulatory system. A dog benefits at all stages of its life when it is kept at a healthy weight. Unhealthy weight does affect your dog adversely and as such will void this guarantee. Ideal weight is achieved through both diet and regular, moderate exercise.

BREEDER:
As the breeder of this golden retriever, I have made conscious decisions when planing this breeding to do the best I can to ensure this golden retriever will live a life unencumbered by hereditary problems such as hip and elbow dysplasia, inherited heart diseases and inherited eye diseases. I have also done my best to ensure this golden retriever will have the truly loving golden temperament that is the hallmark of this breed.
However, due to unknown genetic and environmental influences, I obviously cannot guarantee you that anything other than the above will not occur. What I can guarantee you is what I will do should anything other then any of the above occur.
In regard to the breed specific hereditary problems of hip and elbow dysplasia, inherited heart diseases and inherited eye diseases: I guarantee that should I be given written diagnostic proof that your golden retriever is unable to fulfill it’s role of family companion because of any of these hereditary conditions listed, which is confirmed by a specialist of my choosing such as but not limited to Canine Orthopedic Specialists such as OVC or OFA, a Certified Canine Cardiologist, and or a Certified Canine Opthamologist:
WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF IT’S LIFE, the following options shall be available:
1) if the purchaser wishes to return the golden retriever to the breeder, a refund of the full purchase price or a replacement golden retriever shall be given.
2) if the purchaser wishes to keep the golden retriever, a refund of one half of the purchase price shall be refunded.
As I only have litters occasionally, I will be given one year to provide either option.
Assisting people, who have golden retrievers of my breeding, work through any problems that may occur is a responsibility I take on willingly. Should any issue arise at any age, whether it is a concern about, health and or possible hereditary problems, temperament problems, appropriate and or golden retriever breed specific veterinary care, training techniques, I am always available to help in any way I can. Over the years, that I have been breeding golden retrievers, I have not only gathered a wealth of personal golden retriever breed specific knowledge I have a network of well respected specialists who I can call on for their assistance.
Please realize that should any health issues, whether it is felt they are hereditary in nature or not, arise in your golden retriever that cause you concern, in order for me to better assist you in trying to find possible causes and therefore possible solutions for them, I may ask to view it’s entire health record that is kept by your veterinarian. Please ensure your veterinarian understands that he / she has your permission to let me view this health record. This way there will not be a problem and or misunderstanding when I ask
them to let me do so.

FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL
THE PURCHASER GUARANTEES THE BREEDER FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL.
I MUST BE CONTACTED IF THIS DOG IS TO BE SOLD, DISPOSED OF OR EUTHANISED IN ANY WAY.
***Finding good alternative homes for goldens of my breeding, who can no longer live with the people they were originally placed with, is a responsibility I take very seriously. Not only because I want to keep track of where the golden retrievers I have bred are living and under what conditions, but also because I usually have people who are interested in an older golden retriever as opposed to a puppy, who I have already screened and found to be suitable for providing caring homes.***
===============================================================
CONDITIONS THAT VOID THIS AGREEMENT
1) This contract is void if any injury, neglect or abuse is obvious.
( including but not limited to unhealthy weight)
2) This contract is void if there has been an unauthorized change of ownership
(as stated in the 1st right of refusal section of this agreement)
3) This contract is void if this golden retriever has been bred.
(as it is being sold on both: a CKC non breeding registration and a personal non breeding agreement between the purchaser and the breeder)
4) This contract is void if annual eye exams have not been preformed (as stated on pg. 2 of this agreement).
If at anytime I am made aware that any of these conditions are / have been present.
I will immediately take possession of the golden retriever, with no financial reimbursement given to the owner and there will be a $5000.00 penalty placed against the purchaser, which I will collect through the court process.
===============================================================
Upon reading and understanding this health guarantee and contract of sale, we find the terms and conditions to be mutually agreeable and legally binding.
