Buyer agrees to have said puppy examined by a licensed small animal veterinarian within 72 hours of receipt of said puppy (excluding weekends).  If said puppy is found to be in poor health during this time period, as evidenced by a signed, written report by a licensed veterinarian, Buyer will have the option to return the Puppy at Sellers expense for a full refund or replacement as soon as comparable (of equal value) puppy becomes available.  To refund or replace will be the choice of the Buyer.  If Buyer decides to keep said dog, they will assume all expenses involved with said dog care.

This dog is being sold as a companion animal/pet quality only.  Although the dog may be capable of performing other functions, no warranty is given for its fitness for a particular use.  Animal is being sold with full breeding rights, but is not guaranteed to be capable of producing offspring.

If Buyer chooses to purchase dog/puppy for pet only price, upon receipt of spayed/neutered paperwork from a licensed veterinarian, the Seller will mail all associated paperwork for dog/puppy.

Although we do our best to estimate the height of the puppy at maturity, we cannot guarantee the actual size at maturity.  Minis and Toys have standard sized Australian Shepherds in their background so recessive genes occasionally come out.

If at any time the Buyer is unable or chooses not keep the puppy, please contact us.  We will be happy to help place the dog into a good home or will take it back at our farm with shipping costs paid by Buyer.  No refund of money or replacement will be given under these circumstances.  At no time should you take your dog to an animal shelter or research facility.  The Buyer agrees that this contract is non-transferable.
