Romany Collies Contract and Health Guarantee
Our contract is displayed below. One of the most important points in our contract is that we have a five year guarantee against serious genetic conditions. Also in our contract is an agreement by you, the buyer, that you will let us know if you are ever unable to keep your collie and we have the right of first refusal as far as taking puppy back. We get inquiries all the time from people wanting a young adult or adult collie, and we would be happy to help you rehome your dog should you ever get into a situation where you are unable to keep him. Per our contract, the buyer agrees never to give their pup to an animal shelter or rescue organization.
ROMANY COLLIE SALES CONTRACT AND GUARANTEE
A female sable smooth collie, litter name *____,* born on ____
Sire: ___
Dam: ___
The collie puppy described above is being sold for $. Payment for pup and Washington state sales tax of % ($) has been received in full as of the date of this transaction ().
________________________________________________________________________
Your puppy is in excellent health, has been microchipped, and is up to date on shots and worming at the time of sale.
Worming schedule--
baycox (toltrazuril) on ____ and ____
safeguard/panacur on ____, ____, ____
strongid (pyrantel pamoate) ____
Your pup’s first DHPP vaccine was given on ____. (Second and third puppy vaccines should be given at three to four week intervals after the first vaccine.)
Puppy was examined by my veterinarian (Dr. Monica Townsend at Camas-Washougal Animal Hospital) on ____ and was found to be in excellent health with normal heart and lungs; normal hips, stifles, and elbows; no external parasites; and a normal scissors bite. Please take your puppy to meet your vet and be examined right away. If your vet finds your pup to be in poor health (confirmed by my vet), you have a full week from the date of purchase to return pup to me for a full refund of the purchase price (shipping/transportation costs are your responsibility). You have two full weeks to return puppy for any reason (other than poor health as verified by my vet). In that case, the refund amount will be equal to the amount received by me upon reselling your pup, less your $ deposit, and will be paid to you once pup has been resold.
Your pup is CEA normal eyed (possible noncarrier) by parentage, and is clear of PRA (progressive retinal atrophy), DM (degenerative myelopathy), and CN (canine neutropenia). Both parents are low risk for dermatomyositis (DMS), and are mdr1 m/n. I always treat all my collies as though they carry the MDR1 mutation and recommend you do the same, even if you choose to test your pup and he or she is clear. Your vet should be knowledgeable about the MDR1 gene and treat all collies as though they might be sensitive to certain drugs.

AKC registration papers, microchip paperwork, and a record of examination and vaccination/worming by my vet are included along with your puppy. Puppy is being sold with AKC limited registration and is not to be used for breeding. With limited registration your pup may compete in all AKC performance events. If you intend to compete in any such events, please use the kennel name of “Romany” in your pup’s registered name so that we can show the world that Romany pups are versatile and brilliant.
Recent research indicates that if possible, it is healthier for your pup to wait until he or she is fully mature before spaying/neutering. For collies I generally recommend waiting until pup is a year old if possible. Also, it is important to feed a high-quality diet; to keep puppy slim during growth; and to provide lots of opportunity for self-limited exercise. Your pup is currently eating Victor Hi Pro Plus twice a day, softened for a few minutes with hot water and with the addition of goat milk and whole plain yogurt.
PLEASE BE SURE TO GO ONLINE TO BUDDYID.COM AND REGISTER YOUR PUP’S MICROCHIP! Feel free to put me as a backup contact, at 360-907-9280. Thank you!
HEALTH GUARANTEE: I have always used all the knowledge and tools available to me to breed the healthiest collies possible. However, collies are purebred dogs with very low genetic diversity, and unfortunately I can’t single-handedly fix that while staying within the limited gene pool that is available.
If your pup develops a serious health issue before six months, as confirmed by my vet, you may return puppy to me for a refund of your purchase price less the $ deposit (note—it is your responsibility to pay any costs to return pup to me). If your pup develops a serious genetic disease or condition after six months but before the age of five years, which will severely affect his or her quality of life, please notify me immediately. Pup’s condition will need to be verified by my vet, Dr. Monica Townsend at Camas Washougal Animal Hospital. If Dr. Townsend recommends it, I will provide a replacement pup to you at no charge. After the age of six months, return of your dog to me is not required in order to receive a replacement puppy, but I am always happy to take your collie back whenever you feel you can no longer care for him or her.
IMPORTANT: BY SIGNING THIS CONTRACT, BUYER AGREES TO CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE PLACING PUP IN A NEW HOME. PUP MAY NEVER BE PLACED IN A RESCUE OR SHELTER. If you can no longer keep your pup, I have the right to choose to take pup back myself, or may help you to look for a suitable new home for your pup.
