The puppy you have just
purchased is guaranteed and will be replaced by another puppy from New
Zion Shilohs according to the conditions stated below.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE PRICE OF THE PUPPY BE RETURNED. THE
REPLACEMENT TIME AND SELECTION WILL BE A MATTER OF CHOICE OF THE BREEDER.
Dogs
to be replaced must be delivered to the Breeders' at the Owner's expense
along with all veterinary records, health papers, x-rays, DNA verification
and valid ISSR registration certificate before a replacement will be made.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL A
REPLACEMENT BE MADE WITHOUT PROPER IDENTIFICATION AND CERTIFICATION
PROVIDED BY OWNER. IN ADDITION THE ISSR REGISTRATION FOR THE DOG MUST BE
SIGNED BACK TO THE BREEDER. WHEN THESE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MET, AND A
PUPPY OF EQUAL VALUE IS AVAILABLE, REPLACEMENT WILL BE MADE. For the
purposes of this guarantee, all dogs, regardless of gender, are referred
to as he, him or his.
TEMPERAMENT
(not man-made)
What is correct Shiloh
Shepherd™ Dog Temperament? The word Temperament,
in relation to general application, denotes character, sensitivity,
discrimination, spirit, and intellect. It may mean the absence or presence
of one or more of these psychological traits. The true Shepherd must be an
animal fit in body and mind, a devoted and suitable companion to his
owners. The dog should have the potential ability to do the essential work
for which the breed was created. The Shiloh Shepherd™ can have a kind
and sweet disposition, and still be protective. He must be alert, eager to
please his master, and a willing worker, when properly trained. Poor
temperament can be a hereditary fault or man-made. Environment can
influence eventual temperament to a large degree, particularly as it is
applied to early puppy development. Such a temperament fault can be
corrected with kindness, patience, and training. Intense early
socialization and puppy kindergarten classes are mandatory toward proper
development, and are a prerequisite as to the fulfillment of this
contract. *Please also note the enclosed
nutritional agreement.
Faults of personality that
cannot be repaired are a result of hereditary influence and are permanent.
If the following type of poor temperament is present, the puppy must be
returned to the breeder and registration papers signed over. Another puppy
of correct temperament shall be given as replacement.
(A)
OVERLY-SHARP
or vicious: This overbearing bully mistrusts everyone, and intensely
dislikes strangers and other dogs. Such an animal is extremely dangerous
and is generally under-sensitive to bodily discomfort and pain. This
animal is extremely difficult to control and refuses to accept any type of
correction without retaliation.
(B)
SHARP-SHY
or fear-biter: This animal, if cornered, will urinate and often bite
out of fear and sheer panic. He is noted for carrying his tail tucked
under his belly while growling and snapping at anyone that attempts to
approach him. He spends his life trying to either escape from the world or
destroy it, but is unable to adjust to living “in” it.
(C)
SHY
or oversensitive: This pathetic creature is frightened of strangers,
loud noises, and new situations. He proceeds to “spook” or “bolt”;
retreating without provocation. He is simply a coward. He is noted for
literally “shivering” or trying to escape under or into a small dark
place when approached by a friendly stranger.
He will constantly urinate and cower if subjected to any type of
mild correction by anyone.
Mild degrees of the above
types of temperament faults are often due to lack of varied experiences
with strangers and new activities. Do
not be neglectful or overprotective of your pup. Share him with
others, as it will make a well adjusted citizen of him!
Socialization
is very critical during the first 18 months of your puppy’s life -
be sure that you are not creating a problem that will eventually cause
misery for years to come!
New Zion Shilohs will not be responsible for any puppy that has been
improperly trained or socialized!
New
Zion Shilohs also reserves the right to fully examine all aspects
pertaining to environmental dysfunction as related to said puppy’s
formative months. Such examination shall be at the owner’s expense.
Furthermore, New Zion Shilohs
reserves the right to have this puppy evaluated, at the Owner’s expense,
at an approved Kennel, for a period of not less than 90 days. The purpose
of the evaluation will be to determine the validity of the said disorder,
whether it was created through environmental stimuli, and there by can be
improved, or if indeed it is proven to be an inherited genetic defect.
HIP
DYSPLASIA
Hip Dysplasia is a
malformation of the ball and socket joint of the hip. The problem, not an
exclusive canine disorder, exists in most domestic species - including
man! Depending upon the severity of the disease, the dog may or may not
become lame. Many affected dogs lead normal lives. The Sire and Dam of
your puppy have both been x-rayed and diagnosed as normal by Veterinarians
qualified in the field. Nevertheless, this ailment is considered a
hereditary trait with irregular penetrance, meaning normal parents are
capable of producing abnormal offspring.
It has also been proven in various recent studies that, to a large
degree, environmental factors play a major role in the development of Hip
Dysplasia. In order to maintain the excellent hip records associated
with the Shilohs, we insist that you follow the feeding program prescribed
by New Zion Shilohs. Failure to
do so will invalidate this guarantee.
The final
disposition of any dog found to be dysplastic will be the prerogative
solely of New Zion Shilohs. The breeder may agree to allow the owner to
keep said dog, if neutered or spayed, or it may be decided that the dog
must be destroyed. In either case, the ISSR, Inc. registration must be
signed back to the breeder and returned with all other requested records
and information.
Under no circumstances will any puppy be replaced if complete and
detailed records and the puppy itself are made unavailable for the
breeder’s inspection or inspection by someone designated by the breeder
for that purpose.
Under no circumstance will cash be refunded at any time, nor will a
puppy of greater value be given as a replacement. This guarantee
MUST
be presented at the time of replacement as proof of purchase, proof of
the quality for which the said puppy is guaranteed and proof of the actual
purchase price. If a replacement puppy in your category is not immediately
available, another puppy of greater value from a different category may be
purchased with the credit for your returned puppy applied to same.
Your
puppy’s hips are guaranteed as follows:
This puppy is fully guaranteed to meet
all of the International Shiloh Shepherd Registry, Inc.’s requirements
for permanent registration and to pass OFA rating by three years of age.
No further littermate or breeding guarantee is provided.
Abuse and/or
Neglect
NEW ZION SHILOHS HEREBY RESEVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE
REPLACEMENT OF ANY DOG
RETURNED FOR TEMPERAMENT OR HIP PROBLEMS CAUSED BY
OWNER ABUSE OR NEGLIGENCE
Any puppy that is abused
and/or neglected in the following manner may quickly develop hip problems:
kept grossly overweight; has received unauthorized over supplementation,
or has NOT received the
required supplements, as specified by the Breeder; has been kept unchecked
for worm infestation; kicked down stairs; kept constantly confined to
cold, damp basements; or required to perform extreme physical activities
(such as high jumps and scaling walls) during their ‘growth period’. A
dog that is not socialized, is beaten and/or tortured will develop
‘temperament’ problems. These ‘man-made’ problems which are not
caused by a hereditary defect are NOT
the responsibility of the Breeder.
New
Zion Shilohs further reserves the right to examine any questionable
conditions pertaining to said puppy’s health and welfare at the
Owner’s expense. New Zion Shilohs
reserves the right to request proper validation from owner, via puppy
class certificate/food & vet receipts, etc. that the standards of this
guarantee were upheld to their fullest.
A
FINAL NOTE FROM NEW ZION SHILOHS
