Contract

  1. The Breeder warrants that the above dog is in good health, and the Breeder will refund the above purchase price of the puppy in full to the buyer if within 7 days of purchase (and the return of the puppy to the Breeder) the Breeder is provided with a good written statement by a doctor of veterinary medicine stating that the above puppy is suffering from an infinity or disease on the date of purchase. The vet's paperwork must include the name and address of the buyer, and the disease or illness which renders it unfit for purchase. The Breeder's liability is limited to the purchase price of the puppy within the time frame stated above unless written authorization to seek further medical advice or testing has been given by the Breeder. The breeder has the right to choose what veterinary doctor or hospital this puppy is tested by.

  2. TRUEPANION will insure your puppy for illness and accidents for the first month your puppy is with you. This is a complimentary month and drops away at the end of the four week period. You MUST call them and sign up the night before you come to choose your puppy. It costs you nothing! Do not give them your credit card. You MUST call me/text me the evening before picking up with your policy number. We will not pay for any illness your puppy may have in the first four weeks if you do not hav this coverage. There are no exceptions…unless you live in New York state as they do not cover that state.

    Please call (24/7) 855-266-2156 and use our breeder number BR1HF122920. The policy covers illness and accidents, not wellness visits. For instance, Giardia Coccidia, swallowing a foreign object, breaking a leg, etc.

  3. Your deposit is non refundable after the puppy is 7 weeks old.

    3. Additionally, if in the first year of the dog's life, he develops a hereditary or congenital condition that adversely affects the health of the dog (see paragraph 1 for statement requirements) we will take one of three actions to be acceptable to both the breeder and the buyer.

1) upon return of the dog we will refund the purchase price.

2) upon return of the dog you will be given a new puppy from the next available litter.

3) if you choose to keep your dog we will pay, directly to your vet, for the procedure deemed necessary as agreed upon by your vet and mine. This payment is limited to the price of the procedure and not to exceed the purchase price of the dog exclusive of CT state tax. 

4. No guarantees are issued or implied regarding "bite deterioration". In plain English, this refers to the development of the teeth - ie overbite or underbite. 

5. When asked about size and color of puppy, we will do our best to give an educated guess but can’t guarantee the size and color they will become.

6. The leptospirosis vaccines can be problematic for small dogs. We urge you to discuss this with your vet and follow their advice. We will advise you, though, that if you choose to have the vaccine please do not have it in conjunction with other vaccines, and definitely have your vet give Benadryl before getting the vaccine. Havanese Fly of New England does give their dogs the lepto vaccine.

7. Sterilization

  • This contract does not allow your breeding of any of our dogs without permission by either Marijke Jiskoot or Lody Jiskoot.

  • Spaying your female is generally done between 9 and 10 months.

  • Neutering is more complex. By contract we require you do not neuter your male before 12 months. We prefer that you wait until 18 months of age. This is because of health and temperment. Please read our website under “Neutering. Oh no, I’m not ready!”.

8. The buyer does hereby agree to make this Dog a part of the family unit, by furnishing proper love, attention, food, vaccinations, and medical care and by not keeping them as an outside or watchdog. Havenese will suffer if left alone for long periods of time and do not do well outside alone. 

9. If at any time, this Puppy is to be sold or given away, or should the Buyer determine that they are unable to provide a caring, stable environment for it, the Breeder is to be notified in writing by certified mail and the puppy is to be returned to the Breeder for re-homing. Any deviation from these requirements must first be approved in writing by the Breeder.

10. Taking puppy home. It’s a MUST that in your notes you put your cell phone number. This is the ONLY WAY we can contact you or send you videos each week.

This sales agreement has been read by both parties and the undersigned Buyer and Breeder and their signatures affixed hereunder shall attest to their complete agreement and understanding of the contents herein. There are no verbal promises or commitments offered to the Buyer of said Dog; only those guarantees listed herein shall be honored by both parties. This shall be deemed a legal and binding contract and therefore failure to live up to its terms can mean legal ramifications, with the party at fault being responsible for any legal fees incurred by the opposing party. If the Buyer is found to be in violation of this contract and said Dog is redeemed by Breeder, the Buyer agrees to sign over to the Breeder the official AKC registration papers as soon as judgment has been made by the courts.

Breeder reserves the right on any litter to take first pick for show and breeding.
