dog to any mass-producing kennel (puppy mill) or business. When purchasing a dog from this seller, buyer agrees that the
dog will not be used for any illegal purposes that violate the 1976 Animal Welfare Act. The dog that the Buyer is purchasing

or the dog becomes seriously ill, the Buyer agrees to consult Seller. At transfer, Seller guarantees this dog to be current

dewormed at the time of shipping. A normal deworming and vaccination schedule should be followed as recommended by
your veterinarian. An accurate Puppy Data Sheet will be provided to the buyer from the seller. The seller will place no

ownership. Buyer agrees to provide adequate food, water, shelter, exercise, health care, training and socialization.
Enrollment into obedience training has been recommended to help the buyer in understanding effective means of
communicating with this Pit Bull. HPBK recommends PetSmart’s 8 week Puppy training course which is approximately
$99.00. In addition to the Puppy Training course, there are higher levels of training which is highly beneficial to both this
dog and the new owner. Proper training is a key element to responsible dog ownership especially when dealing with
American Pit Bull Terriers. The seller should contact their local PetSmart for complete details and class schedules.

has been encouraged to help insure return to owner in the event of this Pit Bull becomes lost or stolen. Buyer agrees to

This Pit Bull is currently on NuVet Plus vitamins and has been since the day of conception since the Dam is currently taking
them. HPBK highly recommends the use of NuVet Plus vitamins as a daily supplement and prevention to many common
illnesses and conditions. A six day sample will be given to the buyer at time of transfer. The seller has informed the buyer
to purchase the first month of vitamins before the puppy arrives home to ensure that they are received in time of the
puppy’s arrival. HPBK is an authorized representative for NuVet Labs and their Order Code is 58709. NuVet can be

The seller asks that every so often the new owners send recent pictures and a note stating news on the dog. Seller
recommends spaying and neutering to any dog that is to be used as a pet. Spaying and neutering greatly reduces many
health issues, the risk of unexpected litter while controlling the Pit Bull population and leaving the breeding to
responsible, educated breeders. Buyer agrees to not breed any intact female prior to her third heat or two years of age,
which ever comes first. This ensures the dam is full grown and mentally ready to care for her young. The puppy’s health
and development is not sacrificed if the dam is fully grown.

animal welfare organization for turn-in with the understanding that such a return does not constitute refund in whole or
part. If seller is unable to accept this Pit the owner will do their best to re-home this Pit with a new responsible owner by
using The American Pit Bull Registry's Individual Re-Home program in coordination with reasonable advertising before

found in a reasonable period of time owner will do their best to locate a no-kill rescue or shelter who can accept this Pit
Bull. If a new home is found, the original buyer must provide the new owner's complete contact information. If no contact
information is provided, the original buyer is in violation of this contract and is liable for any In the interest of bettering the
