must have the Dog examined by a Veterinarian.
American Kennel Club registration papers shall be transferred to Buyer within 60 days from the time of purchase and
only if a contract was signed. Reason for the 60 day hold is so that we can make sure that you and the dog are
compatible.
Seller shall provide Buyer with any advice or assistance pertinent to the care, feeding, grooming, training, etc. of the
Dog upon request from Buyer.
Buyer agrees as follows:
Buyer shall provide complete Veterinary care for the Dog, including regular immunizations and health checkups by a
licensed Veterinarian, at the Buyer's expense.
Buyer agrees to maintain the Dog on a monthly or daily heart worm preventative throughout the Dog's life. (In applicable
areas)
Buyer shall insure that the Dog is fed a premium quality dog food. This Puppy/Dog has been on ProPlan puppy brand
Dog food. If this puppy isn’t fed a high quality kind of puppy/Dog food and does not grow into a sound healthy adult dog
due to lack of nutrition because you chose a different brand of dog food I will NOT REPLACE THE PUPPY/DOG..
Buyer shall keep the Dog as a house Dog with a properly fenced yard (4 feet or higher) or in a kennel run with proper
housing. Buyer agrees that at NO time will the Dog be chained or allowed to run free outside of a confined area.
Buyer shall attend at least one beginner's obedience class of at least six weeks duration. Proof of finishing the class
must be sent to breeder after completion. *If Buyer does not attend an obedience class breeder does not have to
guarantee this puppy .
Buyer will also socialize Dog among people and other animals for the life of the dog. This might involve taking the dog to
outings such as kids games, pet feed stores, walks, family gatherings etc. This will help keep the dog socialized with all
different people, kids and animals. This must be done for the life of the dog from puppy hood especially until you no
longer have the dog.
Buyer agrees this Dog will not be over excised or go up large flight of stairs before two (2) years of age. This is because
puppy’s bones are soft and this might cause problems with the hips and elbows.
Buyer agrees the Dog will not be bred unless other wise stated by the breeder. If this dog is ever bred whether it be
planned or accidental the contract is void and we will NOT guarantee this dog. Also it will be given back to
seller/breeder and its papers will be signed over to OP akitas. We will take legal action and all court cost and a fee of

Buyer agrees to use the name Orients Pride as the first part of the dog’s AKC registration name.
Socialization- Socializing will help to lay a solid foundation for the future of your Akita's temperament and acceptance
to new obstacles. Socializing at an early age is imperative and for the rest of your akitas life if you want him to be a well
socialized family pet.As far as the family children are concerned, there are a few worries. Akitas are devoted, patient
friends and protectors of children. Akitas are typically very gentle with children, and it is said that Japanese mothers
often left their children with only the Akitas to watch over and protect them. You must respect this and not only allow
your akita to be around your children but others as well so they respect all children as well as adults. The key to owning
an akita is what you put into your akita is what you will get out of your akita. No time spent with the akita as a pup and
for the life of the dog you are probably going to encounter a problem. They are like children you need to put a lot of
time into them if you want them to become the best they can be.
GUARANTEES

problem we will replace the puppy with another puppy when one becomes available and only when proof from a
certified vet and second opinion has been given to the breeder.

dog. We only do replacements we do not give refunds.

owner/buyer elects to have the dog have medical treatment it is at the buyers expense. We offer only a replacement
should the dog come down with any hereditary problems as stated above for 1 yr. As with any living breathing
creature some things are beyond our control and are things that are unseen, (cancer, seizers, Allergies etc) We try to
breed the best we can but we are not god and sometimes things do come up.

buyer not the seller. Should the dog be found to have a temperament problem due to medical reasons we will reimburse
the buyer for the evaluation and will make arrangements to what should happen to the dog. If it is deemed that it must
be put to sleep we will give a replacement. We take great pride in socializing our dogs/puppies very well and with
many generations of excellent temperaments in our lines we feel confident on this dogs temperament if it is kept well
socialized as we described above.. If Buyer should be unable to keep the Dog, Buyer MUST return the Dog at Buyers
