Rights to Repossess

Failure to meet these requirements constitutes a breach of contract. Westlane reserves the right to reclaim the puppy without compensation if there is evidence of neglect, abuse, or failure to meet the care standards outlined in this agreement. 

Westlane strongly recommends basic obedience training. The buyer has read Westlane's Puppy Guidelines and Rules of the Road - information that is shared on their website (under litter's tab).

The buyer understands that basic obedience classes will not only benefit their puppy but will also help them form a stronger bond with it.

At NO TIME shall this dog be given to the Humane Society or to an Animal Shelter.

If the buyer's circumstances change and he/she is no longer able to take care of their puppy, Westlane will ALWAYS take it back. The puppy will either stay with Westlane (be bought back from Buyer) or they will assist the buyer in placement/rehoming.

Westlane has 1st right of refusal, meaning if the buyer sells the puppy to a 3rd party without offering Westlane the opportunity to purchase it back first, Westlane can then sue the owner for damages.

Westlane has bred this litter with great care and in good conscience, using sound genetic stock with verified health clearances.

We agree to the following:

If the puppy is diagnosed with severe hip or elbow dysplasia before the age of 26 months, and the condition is deemed severe enough to interfere with the dog’s ability to function as a companion pet, Westlane will, at its discretion, provide either a replacement puppy of equal value, or a refund up to the purchase price.

• The condition must be documented and confirmed by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
• A full copy of the OFA report must be provided to Westlane for review.
• The dog must not have been bred prior to diagnosis.
• The diagnosis must not result from trauma, injury, over-exercise, obesity, or neglect on the part of the buyer.
