I am attaching a deposit of_$100.00___(non-refundable) when the puppy is born to hold the puppy of my choice until it is ready to be shipped or pick-up, then I will send the remaining balance of the full payment of $_400.00_plus_ $250.00_for shipping.
The buyer has the option to change their preference of sex, at anytime up until age of 5 weeks, if others from the litter have not been spoken for. Deposits can be made by check, cashier’s check or thru PayPal and if using pay pal the payee you will need to summit payment to mbloodhounds@gmail.com also if shipping, the balance must be paid prior to the puppy being 8 weeks of age. If you prefer shipping by ground, arrangements can be made but the shipping price might be higher. Holding Agreement is as follows---I am attaching a deposit of $100.00 (non-refundable) to hold the puppy of my choice until he/she is 8 weeks of age. The remaining balance will be paid in full at time of pick-up or 1 week prior before shipping. Please note NO puppy is considered sold until a deposit has been received, we want to do what is best for the puppy, and what is fair for both buyer and seller. I have had situations where more than one person wanted the same puppy, and it is very hard to manage this without hurting feelings. If you are sure you want a puppy, I suggest that you place a deposit on the puppy immediately. If a second party discovers the puppy and offers to buy, and they appear to be a good home, I am hard pressed to turn them down when no deposit has been paid. Please do not ask me to hold a puppy for you to think about, as I cannot turn other good homes down when a puppy is not firmly sold.
I understand that Millers Bloodhounds cannot guarantee the health of any puppies they sell. However, they do guarantee it to be in good health at the time of sale.
Veterinarian checks puppies at the age of 3wks, 6wks and 8wks for hernias, tooth/jaw correctness, eye problems, joint problems, and other normal issues that can be observed in a small puppy of that age. All puppies are sold as pets only. No guarantee will be given as to size, color, quality, fertility, or disposition. Puppies give back what you put into them.
Buyer agrees to provide this dog with adequate nutrition and a full round of available annual vaccinations.
Buyer agrees to feed LARGE BREED puppy food until puppy reaches 6 months of age, at that time the puppy should be put on a good quality ADULT FOOD diet. Feeding a high calorie, high protein diet will produces rapid weight gain and will increase the incidence and severity of several health issues.

Skin and Eye issues are part of the Bloodhound Breed and it is up to the New Owners to care for and maintain a healthy environment and a cleaning routine.
We guarantee against congenital defects - heart, liver, lungs. No other conditions are covered in this contract. Any large breed, bloat, or gastric torsion could be a problem. It is unsure that this is inherited; studies have shown that it is most likely to happen to deep-chested dogs, we recommend that you discuss this with your vet.
The following are not considered life threatening or serious and will not be covered: umbilical hernia, over/under bite, cherry eye, undescended testicles, hypoglycemia, though it is a serious concern it is the buyers job to maintain proper nutrition and be sure the pup is eating. Bloat is not covered talk to your vet. We will not have small umbilical cord hernias removed as advised by our vet, because these hernias usually go away on their own we are not responsible for any future surgeries such as hernias, under and or overbite and entropion. This guarantee also does not cover Coccidia / viruses and Kennel Cough, which is common. Kennel Cough is self-limiting and like a common cold, must run its course. Kennel cough on its own is not life threatening but should be treated. Common disorders that may be caused by environments; for example: problems such as diarrhea, wormy stools. allergies, thyroid dysfunction, mange of any type and fleas, mites, coccidia, giardia or any other intestinal worms/parasites as they are common in dogs and puppies stress due to shipping or new home. The Breeder is not responsible for Distemper, Parvo, and Corona Virus after 48 hours of sale as these are highly contagious diseases and they can be contacted immediately after leaving the breeder.

If you qualify for a replacement puppy, buyer can choose a new puppy or a refund minus shipping cost. Buyer must return puppy and all AKC papers. If you decided to keep the puppy you must have the dog spayed or neutered (after review by my vet and proof of spay/neutering) to have half the purchase price refunded minus shipping cost. The Buyer assumes full responsibility for all costs and care during this time and thereafter.
