Sales of
all Renaissance puppies are formalized through a
sales contract. We use the contract to protect you,
the buyer; our good reputation as a breeder and;
most importantly, the puppy. The details of this
contract outline the care owners must be willing to
provide their puppy. All puppies are guaranteed to
be in good health and free of communicable diseases
at the time of purchase. Our contract
stipulates that your veterinarian should see the
puppy within five days of receipt for a complete examination.
Additionally, all pups come with a lifetime return
policy. We will take any dogs of our breeding back
at any time for any reason.
Pet/companion pups are sold to qualified homes on an
AKC Limited Registration only and must be spayed or
neutered prior to 12 months of age. The Limited
Registration means that the pup could not be shown
in conformation events (though they may compete in
all other disciplines) and any resulting offspring
from the pup would not be eligible for AKC
registration.
Show
quality pups are sold to select homes on either a
co-ownership basis or outright ownership depending
on circumstances. This may or may not involve a
breeding clause. If you are new to the breed, or a
first time breeder, we will usually require a
"limited" co-ownership on the pup. We do this so
that we are in the best position to "mentor" you as
you begin your adventures in the show world. All
reasonable efforts should be made to complete the
AKC championship on the pup in due course. Show
quality pups must not be spayed or neutered prior to
the completion of his show career without our
written consent.
We
carefully screen all of our breeding stock for
hereditary problems and make every effort to ensure
the genetic health of our pups. However, with the
ambiguity surrounding the environmental and
hereditary causes of hip dysplasia, epilepsy,
thyroid and several other genetic disorders a
guarantee is impossible. Instead, we warranty our
puppies against genetic defects, offering a partial
refund for any dog debilitated by one of these
diseases. Similarly, if any show quality puppy
develops a disqualifying fault under the AKC breed
standard, we will reimburse the owner a portion of
the original purchase price or replace the pup with
one from our next breeding.
We
strive in everything we do with our selling
practices to promote responsible dog ownership and
breeding. We recognize that the key to a happy
breeder/buyer relationship is communication. If you
are at all uncomfortable with something we are
asking of you - DO NOT AGREE TO IT!! Instead, we
encourage you to discuss with us your comfort
levels, goals and visions for your new Vizsla
puppy. Our goal is to get our pups into the best
homes available. If you are one of those homes, we
will work with you to make that happen. |
