PBJ Cockers
Cocker Spaniel Puppy Health/Purchase Contract
*NOTE: Contract is Null & Void if puppy ownership changes!
We at PBJ Cockers love our dogs and puppies and for this reason we carefully research and
screen our dogs for genetic problems before we breed. We only want to produce puppies who
will live a long and healthy life and provide years of happiness to their owner. All our puppies
are certified Vet checked before new home placement, they are de-wormed starting at 2 weeks
of age and are continued to be de-wormed on a 2 week interval. Pups are de-clawed and tails
are docked.
Our pups are vaccinated at 6 weeks of age, and vaccinations are continued at 3 week intervals
until new home placement. At this time buyer will follow up on vaccination and de-worming
schedule per seller's instructions. Please note that a puppy's immune system is not totally
matured and his/her immunity is only provided from the antibodies from Mother's milk through
nursing and continued through vaccinations. A puppy is not fully immune to virus's until he/she
has had 3 vaccinations administered. Puppies are much like human infants and should be
treated as such. It would be safe to keep your puppy away from other puppies or dogs until it
has had it's 3rd set of vaccinations, unless of course, you own the puppy or dog and you are
sure that it would not be a carrier of a contagious virus. Even though we put a lot of work and
effort into providing healthy puppies, there may be a time when a defect in a small pup will no
t be noticeable at time of new home placement. For this reason we offer a 72 hour replacement
guarantee for parvo, and /or distemper only. We require that your puppy be Vet checked by a
certified Veterinarian of your choice within 72 hours from the time the puppy is received from
seller. Date and Time of delivery of pup to buyer will be noted on this contract.
We will not be responsible for any test or Vet charges that are incurred by buyer. We ask
that if for some reason the puppy is found to have parvo or distemper that your Veterinarian
would place this finding in writing on His/ Her stationary notifying us as to the problems of
the puppy. We ask that the new owner contact us immediately by telephone to notify us of
this finding and to send proof from the buyer's Vet. At this time, seller (PBJ Cockers) would
replace puppy with one of equal sex and value. If we do not have any available replacement
puppies equal to the sell price of your puppy at this time, we would notify client as soon as
one becomes available. This health warranty does not include or cover, cherry eye, hernia,
cataracts, skin disorders, allergies, or behavioral problems. Once a puppy leaves our premises
it is the new owners responsibility to continue medical treatment and check-ups, vaccinations,
de-wormings and socialization of such puppy . Seller has no way of controlling the situation of
a puppy once it leaves our premises. This is why we like to get to know our families and their
intentions before we ever consider placing one of our babies. We would never knowingly sell
a sick or unhealthy puppy. It is a known fact that Cockers can have health problems, however,
at PBJ Cockers we do everything possible to prevent such. We do health testing (Eye Cerf's
and OFA hip testing) to insure us that we are only mating two healthy Cockers. Our Cockers
are very loving and friendly and we would never own or mate an aggressive Cocker. Some
puppies are born to be alpha puppies while others are more submissive. This is when our
role comes in as a breeder to try and place a puppy with a family that will fit our puppies needs
as well as the needs of the family. We like to place our babies to fit in with a family like a hand
in glove. We will not be responsible for any charges of any type incurred by the puppy or
buyer of such pup. If the puppy has deceased without any testing or diagnosis by a certified
Veterinarian, we the seller will require that the puppy have a necropsy by a certified Veterinarian
at the buyer's expense, in order to prove cause of death before a replacement puppy will be
offered by seller. Any and all charges incurred by buyer for puppy, after initial sell of puppy
from Seller will be the buyer's responsibility and at the buyer's expense.
Puppies sold on a pet/companion AKC limited registration are Not sold for breeding purposes
and are Not to be registered with any other Club affiliation. They are PET COMPANIONS and
are sold ONLY to be loved and admired and not bred. We reserve the right to repossess any
puppy or dog when the owner does not abide by these STRICT rules. Repossession will be
immediate and mandatory! We will give full instructions on new puppy care, health care,
including worming and vaccination schedule and tips for housetraining. This will be included
with the puppy care package.
NOTE: If ever a problem or conflict should occur concerning this legal and binding contract that
cannot be worked out between buyer and seller, Buyer agrees to a legal decision to be decided in
a court of law pertaining to the sell of one of our pups/ or dogs and to submit such complaint
to the legal court system of Minden, Louisiana, Webster Parish, in
