I understand that I am getting a puppy and that no matter how well prepared and trained my puppy is, it is still a baby and I should expect my puppy to have accidents in the house and crate, to cry and bark, to nip and bite, and to require a great deal of patience and attention. I understand that these are NORMAL puppy behaviors and that I expect them to happen.
I understand that dogs have grooming requirements.
I understand that the ears of my dog will need to be cleaned weekly or more if my dog swims or is in a humid environment.
I understand that while you provide Foundation Puppy Training that I need to learn how to train and maintain my dog's training and that may require the assistance of a dog trainer or behaviorist.
I understand that puppies have delicate digestive systems and that changing the food my puppy goes home eating can cause severe gastric distress. I agree to use the same dog food my breeder sends my puppy home on until the puppy is at least 4 months of age.
I understand that while you screen your breeding dogs for hips health, canine hip dsyplasia is multi factorial and that it is equally important that I maintain my dog/puppy at an ideal weight, provide quality nutrition, don't over exercise my puppy, and provide a safe environment to do my part in maintaining my puppy's joint health.
I understand that while the COVID pandemic is present, selections will be done virtually ONLY (not in person).
Reservation application terms
I understand that my Reservation Fee gives me a place on the reservation list in order of acceptance.
I also understand that the breeder, however, has the right to select breeder choice puppy or puppies from any litter.
I have chosen this breeder because of her expertise and experience. Therefore, in the best interest of the puppies and of my family, I agree that the breeder also reserves the right to not offer a given puppy to a family if she believes that the puppy would not be suitable for that family for whatever reason.
Signature
I have answered the above questions truthfully and understand that if any false statements have been given, Serendipity Shih Tzu reserves the right to refuse to sell a puppy to me and my reservation fee is forfeited.
By signing this application, I acknowledge that the reservation fee will not be refunded if I am given the opportunity to receive a puppy within 12 months of the date of reservation fee payment or 6 months of my decision to "pass" on a puppy/litter, whichever is sooner.
By entering my name in this textbox, I agree that the signature is the legal equivalent of my manual signature.
