Check with the other members of your breed club, they should have sample contracts that you can look at.

You should have a contract of some sort. All puppies should have a health certificate from the vet before they go to their new homes. The health certificate says the vet checked the pup over and is free of any illnesses or infectious diseases at the time of the checkup. Your contract needs to state that the pup needs to be seen by a licensed vet within 48 hrs (72 if picked up on a weekend). If you guarantee the health of a pup for 1 year (or however many years), state what your guarantee covers and does not cover.

If your dogs are AKC registered, go to akc.org and look up their guidelines.
No health disclaimer in your bill of sale, however, will protect you from state and federal laws ("doggie lemon laws") that prohibit you from selling sick animals, or from not providing buyers with refunds or a new dog if the dog you sell them has undisclosed health issues, gets sick, or dies shortly after purchase.
If you don't know what the laws are, educate yourself fully before you start breeding and selling dogs.

wow I never heard of a reputable breeder putting out a health DISCLAIMER. Sure to mark yourself poorly and guarantee that all knowledgeable puppy buyers run the other way......
