II.        BUYER CONDITIONS:

 

  1. The Buyer agrees to provide a life-long commitment and a comfortable and safe environment.  Buyer must have a secured fenced in backyard for playtime and potty time but not to be left there permanently.  These are house dogs and they must remain in the house unless outside with their family.  The Buyer agrees to provide prompt medical attention, proper grooming and responsible care. This includes keeping this California Poppy Puppy/dog parasite free and up to date with inoculations (only DHPP and Rabies), proper nutrition, which consists of a good quality professional feed given at regular intervals, and fresh water available at all times. The Buyer promises to provide a safe environment for the dog, and never allow the dog to roam freely without proper fencing or supervision and on a leash unless the owner is in a safe and secured area where some off-leash running can be done. Buyer cannot use a tether system to tie up the dog for exercise and must have a fenced in backyard (or other arrangements preapproved by the Seller). The Seller requires (this is a mandate that if breached will also breach this contract and will result in immediate surrendering of puppy back to Brittney of California Poppy Puppies) that this puppy NOT be chained up or kenneled outside and MUST be maintained in the home with the family with access to a fenced in or secure yard. Never should one of our puppies be placed into an outdoor kennel or chain or tether, and such actions will violate the terms and conditions of this contract.  If any type of physical correction, such as whipping, hitting, electrical application, or any type of activity that causes physical and/or mental harm, is used on your California Poppy Puppy the Seller will immediately take ownership of the puppy at the Buyer’s expense and money paid toward the puppy will be forfeited.

 

  1. The Seller guarantees this puppy/dog to be of sound health and temperament at the time of this sale.  A health record of all shots and/or worming will be provided by the Seller.  The Buyer agrees to take this dog to a licensed veterinarian of their choice within 72 hours after picking up or having the puppy. The BUYER must sign up for the 30-day free pet insurance policy thru Trupanion using the information provided by the SELLER.  This 30-day policy is part of our health warranty and California Poppy Puppies will not be responsible for veterinarian cost associated with the first 30-days if the BUYER fails to register their new puppy 24 hours prior to puppy pickup. We will provide our shot records to the Buyer which should be given to the licensed veterinarian at your first physical examination. If the vet recommends ANY repetition of puppy shots, PLEASE have the veterinarian call Brittney Rainville at 951-444-1033 (call or message) as THIS WILL CANCEL THIS GUARANTEE.  Excessive vaccinations can be dangerous for them and should not be administered. Should puppy/dog be determined to be in ill health, the cause of which the Seller is clearly to blame, the dog may, upon a signed written diagnosis from said licensed veterinarian, BUST be returned for a refund of the cost of the puppy. The Seller assumes absolutely no responsibility for fees associated with caring for the puppy/dog.  No other guarantees or fees will be given.  Any required vaccinations or medical treatment after 8 weeks of age will be the responsibility of the Buyer unless puppy is over 8 weeks at the time of purchase. No puppy refund will be provided in the event of death by Parvo (all puppies receive 1 Puppy Parvo vaccine during week 6-8). It is important to note that the puppy is not protected from Parvo until the complete set of parvo series are given (12 and 16 weeks). If you pick-up your puppy DO NOT use commonly used rest stops and other areas frequented by dogs as these are areas that often concentrate various diseases that can easily be transferred to the puppy and will void this guarantee.  We recommend that their feet do not touch any ground until they get to your home.  You can provide pee pads and the like inside your vehicle.   The new Buyer must not take the puppy into public places until such a time that the parvo series have been given in full.  The Seller will not be responsible for any veterinarian/medical costs at any time for the following, including, but not limited to, common conditions such as hernia (we will cover $100 of any cost associated with repair of a reducible umbilical hernia as this can be corrected at the time of spay/neuter; we make no other concessions nor financial contribution towards such repair nor cost of neutering or spaying and in most cases reducible umbilical hernias will self-repair), kennel cough, cherry eye, coccidiosis, parasites, giardiasis, uneven bites, worms nor hip or elbow dysplasia as most forms of dysplasia in large fast growing breeds like a bernedoodle come from inappropriate physical activity (e.g. stairs, jumping, etc).  The Seller has made all attempts to ensure a healthy and quality puppy, but cannot guarantee against any future health, dysplasia, or cancer conditions. In the event of death while in Seller's possession, Buyer's deposit will be returned.

 

  1. If within the first 18 months after the birthdate of this puppy, any defined genetic defects (to include vWD type 1, DM, and NE) are found through laboratory analysis, AND that will have an expressed deleterious effect on the livelihood of the dog, a refund of the cost of puppy ONLY and NO other fees will be returned to Buyer. Refund will be returned only when proof of genetic defect is diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian (a veterinarian’s opinion is not proof alone and genetic testing for a specific disease marker would have to be conducted by the Buyer and at their expense, along with the laboratory analytical results certified by the lab (this is done at the expense of the Buyer) in writing AND proof of spaying or neutering is given.  The Buyer will retain the original puppy (we will discuss the option of placing the original puppy into a new home if that is what the Buyer prefers, but we will only facilitate this process which could include listing the availability of this puppy onto our website; however, the Buyer must have put their puppy through obedience training and the dog is well socialized and housebroken). Joint issues, allergies, autoimmune disorder, or other conditions not stated above, ARE NOT covered by this warranty as they can be caused/induced by environmental factors such as over stressed joints prior to growth pates closing, diet, vaccination, medications (especially ongoing use of chemicals for flea/ticks/heartworm), pesticides used on lawns and in homes, etc.   ​

 

  1. The Buyers agree not to use this animal for breeding and agrees to have it spayed/neutered at the age recommended by Breeder (usually after the first heat in females and after 12 months of age and 16-18 months for boys, to allow for growth to finish in this large breed).  Any breeding that is done with our California Poppy Puppies is a violation of our contract and will be subjected to a minimum of twelve thousand ($12,000) dollar additional fee if one of our F1 or F1B California Poppy Poppies (or other doodles, poodles or Bernese mountain dogs) are bred and will have to relinquish any litters as a result of breeding in violation of this contract. Buyer will be fully responsible for any deleterious defects due to breeding their California Poppy Puppies to another dog.  

 

  1. Should any circumstances arise that affect the quality of life of the dog, the breeder/seller is to be informed so that they may participate in determining the future of the dog. The Breeder/ Seller reserves the right to approve/prohibit any transfer of this animal to a third party. Under no circumstances will this dog be sold, leased, traded or given away to any pet shop, research laboratory, animal shelter or other facility.  We only allow the transfer of our dogs to Seller approved families.  Any breach of this policy item will be subject to a twelve-thousand ($12,000) dollar penalty.  We are always here to help you relocate your dog so please let us know first (you may call or text Brittney Rainville at 951-444-1033) to see if we can exhaust all acceptable means. If we can help find a new home, and the new owner is willing to pay a fee, and the dog has been kept at the Buyer's home, all money transferred will go to the Buyer.  If the dog has been transferred to the Seller, then the Seller will retain any money transferred from the third-party buyer. 

 

  1. The SELLER reserves the right to keep a puppy from each litter. No refunds are given as the deposit is non-refundable. We cannot guarantee litter sizes. We also cannot guarantee color/markings/size nor can we guarantee what the final color/pattern/size will look like as an adult dog. Buyer understands that puppy is a mixed breed with a Bernese Mountain Dog and the seller DOES NOT guarantee that these puppies are hypoallergenic/non-shedding.

 

  1. Buyer agrees to use a crate for crate training to facilitate the house breaking process.  The Buyer understands that puppyhood is both challenging and rewarding and that the Buyer must be patient through the process of house breaking and obedience training.  We recommend that the puppy be in a crate when it cannot be closely watched, and that prior to placing in the crate the puppy is given an opportunity to relieve themselves outside.  Also, as soon as the puppy is let out of the crate the puppy will be placed outside.  Puppy should be let outside, under supervised conditions, following meals and drinking, and no less than once every 30 minutes (or more often)  until week 12, after which the time in the crate can be lengthened (but again cannot live in the crate nor left in crate for 8+ hours day while at work). Puppy must be afforded shade and clean water while outside and must be supervised.  In extreme hot conditions (over 78F) the dog must be only let outside to relieve themselves and allowed the opportunity to come back inside in an air-conditioned home.

 

 

The preceding paragraphs contain conditions established by the Seller to ensure the well-being of the puppy/dog. The Buyer’s agreements will continue for the duration of the dog’s life and the Seller will have the right to enforce the agreements.  Our signatures below represent a legally binding agreement between the Buyer and Seller in accordance with the provisions set forth in this contract.
