· Your breeder should give you a reasonable period of time to have your pup checked by a veterinarian to determine its state of health. If a problem should arise, it can be quickly resolved. This issue should be specified in a Sales Contract. You should also receive the pup’s health and vaccination records. All responsibilities of both parties should be spelled out in a written Sales Contract. Clear contracts protect against broken expectations for both Buyer and Seller. The potential for later onset health issues and their resolutions should be addressed in the Sales Contract.
