  6. It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to notify the Breeder within 14 days when a serious problem is suspected and PRIOR TO ANY SURGERY so that the Breeder shall have the right to have the dog/bitch examined by a Veterinary Surgeon of their own choice to verify the existence of and the extent of any defect complained of by the Purchaser.

In the absence of such notification the provisions of clause 1 do not apply.
 

Clause 2

 

It is a condition of sale that this dog/bitch is desexed or if a male a vasectomy is also acceptable up to  14 months of age - if the Purchaser seeks to desex the dog/bitch later than 14 months then this needs to be supported by your veterinarian and something in writing from the vet is required.

 

The breeder requires the Purchaser to provide the original copy of the desexing certificate to the breeder to confirm desexing has been done from a qualified veterinary surgeon.  This certification is to be provided to the Breeder within 7 days of the operation.

 

Should the dog/bitch not be desexed/neutered/vasectomised as agreed in this contract,  then the Purchaser agrees that the Breeder can within a further 14 days take the dog/bitch to the Breeder’s veterinary surgeon to their vet to perform the desexing operation, all costs to be borne by the Purchaser.  The official copy of the Pedigree Certificate will not be given to the Purchaser until this operation has been performed.  Further, should the dog/bitch not be desexed/neutered/vasectomised within 14 months of the date of birth of the puppy, then the Purchaser will be required to pay to the Breeder a further $1000 which is the purchase price for an unsterilised dog/bitch and no Pedigree Certificate will be given to the Purchaser until an original copy of the desexing/neutering/vasectomised certificate from a qualified veterinary surgeon has been provided to the Breeder.
