                                                                   PROVISIONS OF SALE

1.  Seller agrees to provide health records, pedigree and registration forms on this dog.  
Registration papers will include as part of the puppies name, the Cuttastar  or Timeless kennel
name.
2.  Seller guarantees the above dog to be in good physical and mental condition and free from
disease at the time of sale.  Buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by his/her own
veterinarian within 3 working days following possession by Buyer.  If any sign of illness is found
(other than worms, diarrhea from change in diet, change of environment or travel stress, etc.),
the Buyer must contact the Seller immediately.  The Buyer may elect to keep the puppy and
assume all costs for its care, or may return the puppy for a full refund upon the Sellers receipt of
the veterinarian’s statement regarding the puppy’s health.  Return will be at Buyers expense.  
This is to protect the Buyer as well as the Seller.  Seller’s intent is that the Buyer will both be 100%
satisfied with his/her purchase and understand that when dealing with live animals, some things
are beyond human control.
3.  Seller guarantees temperament for life, but expects that buyer will properly socialize and
expose puppy to various situations as to develop a sound temperament. The first two years are
especially important. The puppy must attend some type of obedience training for the temperament
guarantee to be in effect.
4.  Seller’s puppies are on a spay/neuter contract.  It is most important to me that they go to
permanent loving homes where they will receive good food as well as necessary veterinary care
and of course, lots of LOVE.  All pet puppies will be required to be spayed or neutered.  
Registration papers on all pet puppies will be held by Seller until proof of spay or neuter by the
attending veterinarian is received by the breeder.  It is advised that this is done between the
ages of 6 to 10 months of age.  “Proof” may be a copy of the bill with the following:  veterinarian’s
name and address, date of procedure, name of dog and owner’s name and address.  The papers
on all pet puppies will be marked “This dog is not to be used for breeding and if bred, the
resultant puppies will not be registered.       
5.  If prior to this agreement, the puppy as determined to be pet quality and the puppy  purchased
as such develops within 26 months from the date of birth any eye defects, hip dysplasia, or any
inheritable or genetic defect which would prevent it from  enjoying a reasonable and normal life,
the Seller will replace the puppy with a comparable puppy in the Seller’s next available litter.  
Buyer will be responsible for all shipping costs.

               Before any guarantees will be honored, buyer must provide seller with a veterinarian’s
statement, on veterinarian’s letterhead, stating the health condition and the genetic origin of
health condition as well as prescribed treatment routine.  The seller reserves the right to have a
second veterinarian of choice evaluate the dog’s condition, at seller’s expense, before the
guarantee will be honored, except in the case of OFA evaluated hip x-rays or CERF eye results.
 6.  The Buyer certifies that the puppy will live with the Buyer, be confined by a fenced yard or
other agreed upon arrangement, and will have adequate exercise, nutritious food, and necessary
health care including yearly vaccinations.
 7.   The Buyer and family shall treat the puppy in a humane and loving way at all times, and make
sure that anyone temporarily caring for the puppy shall do the same.
 8.  The Buyer certifies that he/she is not acting as an agent in this purchase and under no
circumstances will this dog ever be sold, leased, or given to any pet shop, research lab, shelter,
pound or similar facility.
 9.  The Buyer agrees that Seller shall repossess puppy immediately upon evidence of neglect,
endangerment, and/or abuse at no expense to Seller
 10.  If at any time in the life of the dog the buyer is unable to keep this dog, Seller will try to assist
buyer in finding a new home for the dog.   There is no reason that any CUTTASTAR KENNEL puppy
should ever end up in a pound or rescue situation!!!

This contract is non-transferable.  Should Buyer relinquish ownership in the puppy, for any
reason, this contract shall be null and void.
Although there are no plans at present to stop breeding Mini Aussies, the above guarantees are
valid only so long as Seller is breeding said dogs.  Should Seller cease breeding said dogs, for
any reason, this contract will become null and void

 This contract is made and signed by both the Seller and the Buyer for the well being of the said
puppy.  If the Buyer breaches any part of this contract or any Special Addendums attached to this
contract, the Seller can and will repossess the puppy.
