The Seller offers this puppy WITHOUT breeding rights, with a CKC Limited

Registration. The Purchaser agrees to have this puppy spayed or neutered no earlier

than 1 year of age and by the age of 2 for males, 8 months for females. Early

spay/neuter will void this guarantee. A veterinarian certificate must be forwarded to the

Seller within one week of completion or the following health guarantee is void.

The Seller, at her expense, will register the puppy with the Canadian Kennel Club in the

Buyer’s name and provide the Buyer with registration papers when they are received

from the CKC. The buyer agrees to provide Bear Flats Labradors with a name for their

pup within 7 days of the above date. If one is not chosen, Bear Flats Labs has the right

to find a suitable name in order to complete the CKC paperwork.

The puppy has been vaccinated with shots relevant to its age and has also been

dewormed. We will guarantee the health of the puppy for 48 hours from the time of the

buyer’s possession. In the rare case of death, an autopsy must be performed by a

qualified veterinarian at the buyer’s expense. If the death is due to a genetic defect we

will replace the puppy. Bear Flats Labradors is not responsible for death due to

sickness, lack of vaccinations, accidents, or any other non-genetic cause.

problem to be confirmed.

c)If a problem is confirmed, the puppy may be:

1.Euthanized at the buyer’s expense,(should the severity of the condition render this

necessary) and a replacement puppy of equal value will be provided as availability

arises. OR,

2.Treatment may be sought by the owner. If this option is pursued, BFL will reimburse

half of the price of the puppy.

d)The buyer’s veterinarian must indicate that there has been no signs of abuse, neglect,

over-exercise, obesity, or past injuries that could be the cause of such dysplasia during

this important developmental period of its life. (i.e. excessive jumping, running,

overweight, an injury, etc.)

e) Large breed puppy food or a brand approved by the breeder must be fed until 1 year

of age.

f) Veterinary records must be provided to Bear Flats Labradors if buyer is requesting a

replacement pup.

later than 12 months from said puppy’s date of birth. They must be submitted with a

written statement from a veterinarian for review.

It is also noted that if a replacement puppy is granted for all conditions listed above,

they are done so with another puppy of similar value, bloodlines and the same colour
