Seller and Buyer agree to the following purchase terms and conditions:

PRICE OF PUPPY:             DEPOSIT:

PAYMENT TERMS:_____________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________

1. Registration: All the puppies in this litter will be individually registered by the Seller. Seller will complete transfer of ownership paperwork with the Buyer at the time of puppy purchase and will send to AKC. Buyer will pay to AKC the ownership transfer fee. Puppy names will begin with Montage and conform to a litter theme. Buyers may choose from the registered names in order of puppy reservation date.

2. Health guarantee: Seller guarantees that the puppy is of good health at the time of pickup/delivery, and has been wormed and immunized as appropriate for its age. Seller will supply a record of vaccinations and wormings to Buyer. This health guarantee is in effect for a seven day period, during which time the puppy must be examined by a licensed veterinarian at Buyer's expense. If for any reason Buyer is not satisfied with the puppy's health during this time, the puppy may be returned (within 72 hours of the vet's visit) for a full refund or replacement with another Montage puppy (if and when one of suitable quality is available), provided the puppy has not been injured in any way. If the puppy becomes ill during this time frame and Buyer does not choose to return it, Buyer agrees to assume responsibility for medical treatment.

3. Buyer agrees that the puppy throughout its life: will be provided with adequate opportunity and room for exercise, protection from the elements, predators, automobiles and other hazards; will not be permitted to run at large habitually; will receive regular care from a licensed veterinarian, and be kept free of parasites such as fleas and worms; will receive adequate food and fresh water; and will have its coat and nails maintained in a clean, well-groomed condition. Buyer agrees to keep the puppy throughout its life as a house pet, in that it will spend a significant portion of the day in the house with its person/people. Buyer agrees that the puppy will not be crated for long periods of time during the day (over 6 hours) on a regular basis since this can cause physical and mental problems and otherwise be detrimental to the puppy.

4. Buyer agrees to socialize the puppy through exposure to people, other dogs and new environments in order to ensure confidence and steady temperament until the puppy is at least 18 months old. However, the puppy should not be taken to public places such as dog parks, where the risk of contracting disease is high, until 4 months of age or older after immunizations are complete. Seller guarantees that, with adequate socialization, the puppy will be of sound temperament in that it will be neither so shy nor so vicious as to render it an unfit companion. If, in spite of adequate socialization by Buyer, and reasonable proof thereof, the puppy remains excessively shy or aggressive at two years of age or older, and Buyer keeps the puppy, Seller will either replace with another puppy when available, or will refund 1/2 the purchase price. Seller will refund the entire purchase price upon return of the puppy to Seller, along with its registration papers, at the Buyer's expense.

5. Buyer agrees to enroll the puppy in a puppy socializing class or entry level obedience class within 4 weeks of receiving final puppy vaccinations and/or taking possession of the dog, and to attend obedience classes through novice level or until dog earns AKC CGC certificate. Seller will assist Buyer in finding training classes and training clubs as needed.

6. Buyer agrees that after completing novice level obedience classes or earning CGC, he/she will choose a performance activity to try with the dog, such as competition obedience, agility, herding, or tracking, therapy dog, search & rescue, or other activities demanding focus and concentration and providing physical and mental challenges.

7. Buyer is encouraged to join the American Belgian Tervuren Club (ABTC) national breed club (application and sponsorship signatures will be furnished by Seller) in order to support the health research and rescue efforts of the club.

In the event that any of Seller's contact information changes (address, phone, email, fax), Seller promptly shall inform Buyer of such change.

9. Buyer agrees to attend conformation classes and to compete in AKC and/or UKC or Can. shows, with the goal of attaining the status of breed Champion. At the Buyer's request, the Seller will be happy to show the dog if geography allows, or find someone to do so for the buyer.

12. If the dog develops any of the above hereditary diseases as described in paragraph 11, or any of the following conditions which would preclude finishing a championship, Seller will offer another puppy when available at no cost other than shipping expenses. Seller will refund the entire purchase price upon return of the dog to Seller, along with its registration papers.

   a.  If the puppy exhibits monorchidism, or develops a disqualifying bite (as defined in the breed standard) which does not correct itself by age 3, or is a disqualifying height at maturity (age 3).

   b.  If the puppy does not follow through with show quality potential by maturity (age 3) in the opinion of the Seller to the extent that it cannot earn a championship title.

If for any other reason than a. or b. Buyer wishes to spay/neuter dog, Buyer agrees to discuss in advance with Seller and to obtain written agreement from the Seller.
