This contract certifies an official binding agreement between Great Pacific Danes and Bulldogs (hereafter known as “Breeder”) and ___________ (hereafter known as “Purchaser.”) The before named Great Dane puppy is sold to the purchaser according to the following conditions:

Breeder has followed the breed’s guidelines, health tests and careful pairing to ensure that the sire and dam are sound breeding stock. The puppy has been reared in a home environment and has been dewormed at 2 week intervals. The puppy is believed to be in good health at the time of the exchange of the animal from Breeder to Purchaser, and has been examined by a veterinarian at 8 weeks.
The breeder retains the right to breed the puppy up to 3 times before he is altered. The Breeder also retains the right to freeze the puppy’s semen once it is 6 months or older, and prior to neutering.
The purchaser must feed good quality puppy food for giant breeds to avoid accelerated growth and related health issues. Breeder highly recommends Royal Canin Giant Breed Puppy. Avoid exercise before and after meals to avoid Bloat. Avoid strenuous exercise until all joints are properly developed, especially in the early months. Watch for knuckling of leg joints. Contact the Breeder immediately if the puppy seems unwell or not developing normally.
Vaccination : Puppies 4 to 20 weeks of age: in puppies, a series of vaccines is recommended. These are given at 8 weeks of age, and need to be repeated every 3 to 4 weeks until your puppy is approximately 16 weeks old. We recommend that you vaccinate your puppy for DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus), leptospirosis, bordetella, and rabies. The most appropriate vaccination program for your pet should be followed.
Breeder has made direct inquiry of the Purchaser regarding Purchaser’s previous experience with dogs, and with this specific breed. Based on the information provided by Purchaser, Breeder is willing to transfer physical ownership of the puppy named in this contract to the purchaser.
Breeder has pointed out to the Purchaser breed specific conditions that this puppy may be prone to (skin allergies, hip dysplasia, cardiomyopathy, thyroid issues). In addition, Breeder has disclosed those health schemes recommended to be followed to reduce the risk of occurrence of such conditions. Purchaser recognizes and agrees that every puppy is an individual and the Breeder cannot guarantee or be held responsible for any conditions, genetic or otherwise, which develop later in life. The Breeder will replace the puppy (pending a litter) if the puppy dies of cardiomyopathy within 2 years of purchase.
The Purchaser agrees to train the puppy and to provide proper socialization and to avoid aggressive behaviours towards humans or other dogs. Use a slip leash and teach proper walking.
The purchaser agrees that the dog will be kept in appropriate conditions for its health and well-being. The Purchaser agrees that the puppy will be fed on a suitable diet for its age and condition, as well as have adequate exercise. The puppy will receive all necessary veterinary care to maintain good physical health. The puppy will be kept under appropriate control and will not be neglected or maltreated in any way which may be construed as harmful to his/her health. The Purchaser attests that he/she has not been banned from keeping a dog or any other animal by any legal court order.

Please remember that Danes are not outdoor dogs! They have short, light coats which makes them susceptible to cold or hot weather. Cool and cold weather environments can also be harmful to the animals. Great Danes do not have an undercoat which other dogs have, meaning that they cannot regulate their body temperature themselves. They may require a jacket for winter months.

The Purchaser is aware of the Trupanion Insurance offer that is free for one month. It can be discontinued or continued after. It must be activated within 24 hours of puppy purchase.

The Purchaser must register the puppy under a Dog-Find registry, and must share the registry information with the breeder. This is necessary in case the dog is stolen or lost.

If circumstances occur where it becomes necessary to re-home the puppy (at any age), Purchaser agrees that Breeder must first be notified and given an opportunity to rehome the dog. However, due to limited space at the Breeder’s property, Great Pacific Danes and Bulldogs can not guarantee that it can take possession of a dog sold to the Purchaser.

This is not an agreement to provide a refund of the payment made by the Purchaser. Breeder will always retain the right to take physical possession of the dog if the dog is deemed to be in an unhealthy environment. No purchase or vet fees will be refunded.

No refunds or vet fees are ever given, under any circumstance.

Health Guarantee:

Our puppies are guaranteed until two years of age against fatal and life altering congenital diseases, which adversely affect the health of the animal. Should the dog die within this two-year frame, the buyer will pay to have a necropsy. If reason is congenital, the breeder/seller will replace the puppy. Although as breeders, we strive and health test to improve on each generation, our health guarantee does not cover what is considered in the bulldog breed to be common: cherry eye, entropion or any eyelid/eyelash problems, loose hips/knees, hemi vertebra, skin allergies, elongated soft palate and demodectic mange.
Our guarantee does not include poisoning, accidents, negligence of behavioral problems as training philosophies and environments vary and the breeder has no control on this.
All our puppies are sold on non-breeding contracts, breaking this part of the contract constitutes a 25,000.00 fine payable to the breeder.
There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors and overuse of chemicals and vaccinations. For example: allergies, thyroid dysfunction, demodectic mange and other autoimmune disorders are not covered in our guarantee. We raise our puppies according to Dr Alison Jones vaccine protocol. We feel it is important to consider the geographic conditions of your area and make informed decisions before choosing whether to vaccinate against Lyme and Leptospirosis. The puppy will have received all age appropriate shots, been dewormed, passed a vet check and any pre-existing problems will be noted here.
