Balance of payment to be made in full at

When both Breeder and Buyer
determine the Dog is free of genetic defects, undesirable temperament traits, and has desirable conformation and qualities
to pass on to its progeny, including, but not limited to: hips, elbows, free of allergies, and other genetically transferred
health/temperament defects the dog may be bred. This requires that the Buyer show OFA certification of hip and elbow dysplasia
(after two years of age) and a letter from the dogs vet verifying no known genetic defects.
The BREEDER guarantees
the above described dog to be healthy at the time of the sale.
The BREEDER does not assume any liability for any

has never been exposed to aversion or harsh correction training and buyer agrees to not allow this type of training.
The BREEDER has tryed to produce healthy puppies by checking the background of the dam and sire for longetivity and genetic
problems in their backgrounds, and by raising the puppies in the best way possible in regards to diet, exercise, socialization
and veterinary care. Although there is no guarantee one of the puppies will not have genetic problems, we are striving
to avoid such an occurrence by using animals that have proven their health and longetivity. Our policies on replacement/refund

In the event that a bitch conceives a litter or a male sires a litter, this guarantee becomes null and void. Outback Shepherds
will not be responsible for any expenses incurred nor will Outback pay for any transportation charges for the replacement
puppy.

hip dysplasia (moderate or extreme) in which the disease is crippling and properly diagnosed within 24 months of the date
of purchase. The X-rays and the OFA letter of diagnosis must be returned to the breeders. If the buyer chooses to keep the
puppy, a certification of sterilization must be given before any replacement or refund will be made by the sellers and one
half of the purchase price will be refunded.
We will replace the puppy with another puppy or give a full refund
if the puppy is found to have severe elbow dysplasia (Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP), Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) or

puppy, a certification of sterilization must be given before any replacement or refund will be made by the sellers and one
half of the purchase price will be refunded.

such as diet, exercise, weight gain, etc.. The BUYER assumes the responsibility to carry on with the appropriate vaccinations,
exercise and feeding schedule, as supplied by the BREEDER. MOST PARTICULARLY, the BUYER agrees to keep the puppy slim throughout
it's normal growth period.

will have the first choice to either: (a) take the PUPPY back or (b) assist the BUYER in finding a suitable home for the PUPPY.
