• Additional Details of Buyer's Puppy Purchase:

The selected puppy shall be reserved for the buyer named herein this puppy purchase agreement. The choice of puppy will be made personally by the named buyer not an appointed representative. Part of the purchase price will be paid immediately with this agreement as a holding fee to guarantee that seller will hold the puppy for delivery or pick up for the buyer on the below specified delivery or pick up date and terms. This holding fee is to secure your picking order which will be given to you at the time of this partial payment being received. The remaining balance, after deducting the holding fee, is to be paid in cash or another method approved by the seller at the time of the puppy's delivery or pickup by the buyer. The holding fee is non-refundable but may be transferred to a future litter within one year from the date of this agreement, at the breeder's discretion, provided the price of the transferred puppy does not exceed that of the original pup. This transfer of the holding fee will occur only if the initially chosen puppy falls ill or passes away while under the breeder's care before the delivery or pickup date. There will be no transfer if the buyer fails to collect the initially chosen puppy on the agreed date, or if the buyer changes their mind for any reason. However, if the agreed-upon litter does not yield the specified color/gender within one year from the date mentioned above, the buyer may opt to transfer the holding fee to a puppy of equal value from an upcoming litter or from another dam and sire. Should a litter result in no puppies, the holding fee will be moved to the next litter, maintaining the buyer's position in the selection order. If the buyer does not complete the purchase, the seller retains the holding fee to offset potential loss sales opportunities. The holding fee represents the buyer's commitment to proceed with the purchase of the puppy. Should you have any inquiries or require guidance and recommendations, do not hesitate to contact us via call or email. We provide a lifetime return policy for our puppies to prevent them from ending up in shelters. Should life-altering events compromise your capacity to care for your dog, we are prepared to accept the dog back and/or aid in finding a new home. The families of our puppies possess our contact details and are encouraged to get in touch with us as needed. Every question, regardless of size, is valid and never deemed foolish. In the event we lack the answer, we will either discover it or direct you to an expert who does. 

• PET/BREEDING RIGHTS

Breeding rights are available and pre-screened for approval. Please note that not all puppies are sold for breeding purposes due to their physical structure; instead, they are placed in "PET ONLY" homes. An additional fee "may' be required for breeding rights. Without this, you will not be permitted to breed  the purchased dog or register any litters they may have. Unauthorized breeding will result in legal action. Any attempt to deceive us regarding your intentions to breed your dog before delivery will lead to the voiding of our contract and the retention of your holding fee by Pawfect Paw Pals for breach of contract. This policy helps us control the pet population and ensures that only experienced breeders are breeding our yorkies with proper care. We request that all our families start making their choice of puppy at the time of availability as indicated by the breeder, considering others are waiting on the list to pick a puppy. If a puppy is not chosen within a 3-day deadline after the announcement of a new litter, we will move on to the next person on our waitlist.

• TRANSPORTATION

Delivery of the puppy entails physically handing over the puppy to the buyer. We do not ship our puppies, and picking up your puppy directly from us does not provide a discount on the purchase price. We offer accompanied delivery to other states via a Flight Nanny, which incurs additional costs.The cost of a round-trip flight, any airline fees for puppy travel, and a Flight Nanny fee are included. However, the buyer and seller can negotiate the transportation of the puppy, with details specified in the other agreements section of this purchase agreement.For  Texas families, city-to-city delivery within Texas is not included in the total puppy price; it is offered as a courtesy when possible, and only for distances previously discussed with the seller, which may vary with each litter. Designated meeting/pickup locations are set for Texas families when traveling within the state. We aim to meet all families on the same day, at a predetermined time and location. If you cannot attend the scheduled Texas delivery, please arrange with the seller at least two weeks in advance. Puppy pickup is advised between eight to ten weeks from birth, with weaning from the mother not recommended before four to five weeks, depending on the puppy's physical development and at the litter owner's discretion. Puppies naturally weaned by their mother usually occurs by weeks five to six. For our Special Needs Families, medical professionals endorse picking up the puppy at ten weeks or later, as determined by the breeder based on the puppy's development. The transfer of the puppy from the whelping home to the new owner is allowed, following the sequential order of picks from the litter by individual owners. If you are unable to take possession of your puppy on the agreed delivery date and the puppy stays with us, boarding fees are $150 for the initial three days, with subsequent arrangements and fees applicable for longer stays. All travel expenses, including airfare and nanny services, are the responsibility of the buyer. It is imperative to adhere to the established delivery date; should any complications arise, please contact us promptly. Although we endeavor to accommodate schedule changes, we cannot assure them, nor will we incur any costs associated with rescheduling flights. The purchase agreement becomes effective once the seller receives the designated payment from the buyer for the selected puppy, identified by color and gender, which constitutes the holding fee as detailed in this document.

The seller commits to delivering a clean and healthy puppy without any undisclosed physical defects. It is important to note that the health guarantee does not extend to physical characteristics such as size, weight, or the texture and length of the coat. The buyer is obligated to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within two days of acquisition. Pawfect Paw Pals disclaims liability for Parvo, Distemper, Coronavirus, or Parasites after the puppy has left our care, as these conditions are highly infectious and can be contracted soon after leaving.

This will be done at the puppy buyer's expense, through the genetic testing company of our choice or vet of our choice. If the second test comes back as unaffected, that test will be the final determination that the pup is unaffected. If the second test comes back as affected, a replacement puppy will be offered. The puppy will be replaced with a puppy of equal value from a future litter. To receive a replacement puppy, the puppy being replaced must be returned in the best condition with no further issues than what was found on licensed vet exam and or second DNA facility. If the puppy is not returned immediately no replacement puppy will be given. We as the breeders, have 12 months after receiving the acceptable documentation and the exact puppy that is being possibly replaced to resolve an adequate replacement puppy. It is then no longer the buyers' concern as to what will take place with the puppy that has been replaced. The following are the options we offer: You may keep your puppy and get a replacement puppy from a future litter at a deep discount only stated by the breeder. As stated above the new replacement puppy must be the same value; color and gender and equal value as the puppy that is being replaced. This will happen after documented proof of the genetic issues stated above has been received for the first puppy. You may return your puppy once Pawfect Paw Pals has accepted your documentation of genetic issues, and you will receive a replacement puppy from a future litter that meets the specified criteria. The replacement must be of the same color, value, and gender. The puppy must be returned to us within two calendar days of the second test result confirming the condition. We will not cover any travel or shipping costs for either option.

Pawfect Paw Pals will not be liable for any veterinary or medical bills incurred. Our policy mandates that our puppies should not be spayed or neutered until they are at least 6 months old. Early spaying or neutering can be detrimental to a yorkshire terriers growth and long-term health. Altering the dog's reproductive system before 6 months of age will immediately void the health guarantee. All puppies sold as "PET ONLY" must be spayed or neutered at the appropriate age. The seller assumes no responsibility for health issues related to changes in home environment, climate, or travel to the new home. While we do not guarantee temperament, our Yorkshire terriers, specifically the sire and dam of the puppy being purchased, have shown excellent temperament and were in perfect health from conception to whelping.

• GENETIC TESTING

Pawfect PawPals do not take responsibility for nor guarantee the results of any sold, traded, or gifted puppy that undergoes DNA testing for breed identity. Pawfect PawPals does not vouch for the accuracy of purity of DNA test results, and the buyer must accept the results as they are provided. Buyers agree to rely on the registered breed specified on each puppy's paperwork.

While Pawfect PawPals does utilize DNA genetic testing for our breeding dogs, the primary focus is on health and pair matching. Though DNA tests are generally reliable, they are not infallible and can sometimes yield errors or inconclusive results. As stated on many DNA testing websites, these tests are intended for entertainment purposes only, and Pawfect PawPals is not affiliated with any DNA testing companies or websites.

DNA testing accuracy is only good as the handlers! What does this mean?

 1. Sample Provided By Owners. 

While at-home sample collection can be easy and convenient for customers, it also means that the the DNA samples cannot always be guaranteed. The accuracy of dog DNA test can vary depending on the sample collected by the owner. Therefore it is imperative to follow the instructions in dog testing kits carefully. Human error can take place for examples. tainted samples, debris, food particles and more.

2. Number of Genetic Markers analyzed for the similarities and differences in these genetic markers among the breeds. 

3. Number & Breeds of Dogs
The number of breeds in a dog DNA test lab’s database also affects accuracy. The more breeds within the DNA database, the better the test’s accuracy. As we know these testing facilities are growing in numbers yearly and improving, but have yet to have accuracy when identifying breeds as a whole. 

4. Confirming Test Accuracy
We have yet to confirm 100 percent pure accuracy while accepting test results for stated breeds so we have chosen to opt out of such practices until these test have become fail proof and are collected strictly by proffesinals in a realiable labortory. 

• ENVIRONMENT INDUCED DANGERS

Exposing a puppy to negative experiences with other dogs or people can have lasting effects. It's important to be gentle with your puppy and use positive reinforcement for training. Never hit your puppy on the head or face as discipline, except in cases of biting, and even then, not to cause injury. Avoid disciplining your puppy by rubbing its nose in urine or feces, and do not use a garden hose or water as a disciplinary tool. Puppies have an instinct to play in water and will accept it for bathing when dispensed at low pressure and flow. The buyer must keep the puppy healthy, up-to-date with all recommended vaccinations, provide regular veterinary checks including an initial exam within 48 hours after delivery, maintain a healthy weight by feeding quality dog food, and ensure the puppy is free of parasites or receive treatment if necessary. This is also essential to maintain the health guarantee; any puppy found behind on vaccines or over-vaccinated will void the guarantee. All veterinary care costs are the buyer's responsibility. The buyer also agrees to protect the puppy from parvovirus and other infectious diseases, both before and after vaccinations, and not to enroll the puppy in training classes until all immunizations are complete and the appropiate waitingg period has been done. Failure to adhere to these care commitments will void the seller's health guarantee.

We prioritize the option to reclaim the dog to ensure their well-being and address your concerns. Our commitment to our puppies is unwavering. Should you need to rehome your dog, we accept them back without regard to age or the time elapsed since our last interaction. We are dedicated to reclaiming the dog and securing a new home for them. If we have facilitated a suitable rehoming situation, we will authorize the transfer without the dog returning to us. Our foremost concern is to prevent our dogs from being placed in shelters or inappropriate homes, and we will provide assistance to the fullest extent. The original owner is responsible for the costs associated with returning the dog to us unless a different arrangement is mutually agreed upon. No refunds are provided upon the return of a dog. If any delivery arrangement differs from our standard protocol or meeting points, additional fees will be incurred. 

• BUYER'S COMMITMENT TO CARE FOR PUPPY
