I'm getting ready to sell some puppies. They are healthy and have been vet checked and vacinated .There is a form that says they are healthy now and have no diseases NOW. i don't want anyone to come back to me later if anything does happen to them. I just don't know where to find the form. I haven't sold a puppy for 20 years and just want to protect myself.Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Patticakes

most reputable breeders will promise to take back a puppy (first buy back rights), without any refund of monies paid, for any reason during the dogs life. In the case of health issues, you need to check with your state to see what it's rules are. Plus, reputabel breeders usually have a set time for return, with a prorated refund, if the puppy develops an illness relatated to the type of dog, as well as other issues Check the AKC site for the information.

First off, if you planned this litter, you didn't seem to do your homework first.
If the form says they are "healthy at the time of sale", wouldn't that be an AS IS form? Unless you offer a health guarantee. Most breeders offer them for 7-14 days after the sale, just incase your vet missed something.
If you don't want the dog back (things happen you know), please consider having your animals spayed/neutered so this doesn't happen again.
When I was a kid, we bred one litter of pups. We sold them at a very reasonable price (they were purebred), enough to cover the vet checks, food and so on. After three months, one of the people we sold a female to brought her back saying "they just couldn't handle her". Well, they were an older couple that didn't take the time to house break her and beat her when she pottied in the house.
We took her back, no questions asked. She became my dog and my best buddy until she passed away 3 years ago.
I say, offer a 7 day health guarantee. If your pups are truly healthy, you won't have any problems. Screen who you sell them to and make sure they have the time to raise a puppy. Encourage them to spay/neuter the animal to help control the pet population.
Good luck.

You don't need an "As Is" form for animals, you will be liable for 3 days in most areas (check with your local council) so if the pups have defects found in that time you will have to take the pup back and refund the money paid. My suggestion as your pups sound healthy is to put an extra $40.00 on to the price and offer a "free" vet check to the new owners (use your vet or another independent vet in the area). This will give the new owners peace of mind and you have a professional report to fall back on if anything happens in the future.

Why the heck are you breeding a dog if you don't want the dog coming back to you.
There are Millions of dogs that are put down every day because of the overbreeding. Why are you contributing to this?
Volunteer your services to a kill shelter and then tell me you still want to breed dogs. I watch great dogs with awesome personalities get put down just because there are not enough homes for them.
We DON"T need people like you in this world. You are the problem. You are the reason that thousands of animals are put down every hour.
TRUE fact... 1 out of 4 dogs live to their old age potential. So... How many puppies did you have???????
TRUE fact.... in order to save the dogs in the shelters for just this year, each household in the USA would have to adopt 7 dogs.
SPAY AND NEUTER your dog!
Now as far as these poor puppies that you have to sell... Do a vet check. Do a home check. Make sure there are no aniaml allergies. Make sure they will feed them a good food (if you even know what that is).
We get dogs turned in for every reason. Even after all our checks, we still get a few dogs back. Soo... good luck!

Spoken like a true backyard breeder wanting only to make money and not accept any responsibilities at all.Heck if I breed a litter of puppies occasionally, the new owners are firstly given the 3rd degree to make sure they are suitable for one of my babies, then invited over to look and I look at them. If I'm not happy or 100% sure, they get sent away again. If after all the procedures, I allow them to buy a puppy, it goes with full vet check, innoculations, microchip, puppy care sheet and the new owners have to sign a legal document to say that if they cannot keep it at any stage of its life, it MUST come back to me.
You seem more concerned about shirking your responsibilities than the welfare of the puppies YOU decided to bring into the world.
