This Shih Tzu puppy has been carefully reared by A Breed Above Shih Tzu (Leea M. Knight) . 
The parent animals were mated with the aim of producing sound, healthy puppies.

The breeder is responsible for forwarding the American Kennel Club Registration Application and Puppy Pedigree within a reasonable period of time.  No charge will be made for this service.

The purchaser promises to keep the Shih Tzu in a proper manner.  It shall not be kept permanently in a kennel.  If problems arise concerning keeping or training, or if the Shih Tzu becomes seriously ill, the purchaser agrees to consult the breeder.  If it should prove necessary for the Shih Tzu to change hands the breeder has prior purchase rights.  Selling to a third party is only permissible after prior consultation with the breeder.  Whereby the main consideration is the assurance that the Shih Tzu is passed to responsible owners.

The puppy will be handed over at the age of eight weeks, twelve if shipping arrangements must be made. 
No exceptions will be made.  Together with the signing of this document a down payment of 1/2 the purchase price will be made.  The remainder of the purchase price falls due when the Shih Tzu is taken over or at 8 weeks of age if shipping arrangements are to be made.

This Shih Tzu is guaranteed to be free from communicable diseases and to be in good general health.  Buyer agrees to have a veterinarians' health inspection completed within 48 hours of transfer and forward a copy to the seller.  If your Shih Tzu is found to be unhealthy,  your puppy must be returned to the seller along with the veterinarians' health statement stating the findings to be replaced with a puppy of equal value.  If the puppy should die within two years of age an autopsy must be completed by the veterinarian to determine the cause of death.  If the cause of death is due to improper care on the buyers part, no guarantee will be made.  Buyer must notify seller prior to delivery of the remains and provide seller with the veterinarians' name and phone number. 

If buyer chooses not to have a veterinarians health inspection within 48 hours of transfer or adhere to any for the said provisions, the buyer releases seller from any and all health guarantees.  Seller is not responsible for any shipping or veterinarian costs.
Buyer understands that that sometimes coat color does change and that size can not be
guaranteed. 

I have read and fully understand the above guarantee.
