Purchase Price

The puppy chosen is to be reserved for the said named buyer listed here in this puppy purchase agreement. This puppy pick will be personally made by the said named buyer or by his appointed representative.
The purchase price of the puppy agreed upon:
Part of the purchase price will be paid immediately with this agreement as a holding fee to guarantee that the seller will hold the puppy for pick up on the below-specified delivery date and delivery terms. This holding fee is to secure your place on the waitlist, and the order of picks which will be communicated at the time of this partial payment being received.
The balance is due to be paid in cash, after crediting the holding fee amount (500), will be paid to the seller at the time of pick up of the puppy to the buyer.
The holding fee is nonrefundable but 250 dollars of the fee can be transferred to a future litter, within 18 months of the agreement date, only if said litter does not produce the color/gender of buyer agreed upon choice. If an expected litter results in no puppies, your holding fee is transferred to the following litter- and would be placed on the waitlist. Failure of the buyer to complete this purchase would subject the seller to lost opportunities to sell the puppy to another buyer. The retention of the holding fee is meant to compensate the seller for this possible loss. This holding fee signifies the intent on the part of the buyer to follow through with the purchase of this puppy.

The buyer allows the Seller to use any pictures of the dog that the Buyer posts on social media for the purposes of reposting and sharing on Facebook, Instagram, their website, or other manners.
The buyer is aware that puppies can have certain common ailments upon coming home. Urinary tract infections, parasites, ear infections, and allergy issues are all common. While we routinely deworm and monitor for UTIs and ear infections, the stress of leaving the breeder can cause flare-ups. The buyer understands it will be their responsibility to treat and care for my new puppy once they leave the breeder. Puppies are inspected by a licensed veterinarian prior to leaving and found to be in good health before leaving Cornerstone Kennels. Once puppies leave our care we cannot guarantee against UTIs, ear infections, allergies, or parasites.
The puppy must be picked up within 72 hours of going home day. (8 weeks) There will be a charge of 45 dollars per day board and training fee beyond the 72 hours.

Genetic Health Guarantee

The seller guarantees your puppy to be free from genetic problems on our health guarantee page for up to one year. If there is a proven genetic condition from our health guarantee, the seller will provide the buyer with a replacement puppy of equal value. A written examination from a veterinarian must state that a genetic defect exists and be accompanied by testing from 2 genetic companies at the expense of the buyer. The Genetic Health Guarantee does not cover structural issues such as hip or elbow dysplasia as there are many factors that are not genetic that impact these conditions. Your puppy must be seen by a vet within 3 days of pick up for the Health Guarantee to be valid. If you spay your puppy prior to 18 months it voids this guarantee.

Return & Rehoming Policy

We require our puppy families to contact us about rehoming our puppies. Sometimes things happen in life and it is the best interest of the dog to have a different home. Cornerstone Kennels requires the dog to return to us. Our dogs should under no circumstance be surrendered to a shelter or pound. We take the dog back to help ease your burden and to ensure our dogs are safe. We will take the dog back and find a new home. If there is a home that you desire your dog to go to, then we will give written permission for the dog to be rehomed without first returning to us. The original owner is responsible for covering the costs of sending the dog back to us. We do not reimburse when a dog is returned to us as we will be taking over vet care and boarding of the dog until it is rehomed. Our boarding and train fee is 50 dollars per day.

Spay and Neuter Contract:

Spaying/Neutering/ FSS by a licensed, reputable veterinarian is required (Recommended at 18 months or later.) Early spaying can increase the risk of hip dysplasia, torn ligaments, bone cancer, and urinary incontinence. Any altering of the dog’s reproductive system prior to 18 months old will result in an immediate void of the health guarantee.
