We are a
family who believes in giving each puppy their best
chance at becoming a beloved pet. We make sure they are
healthy, happy and well adjusted. Our dogs, AKC and CKC
registered Goldens, Doodles and
Poodles, are family pets. They all have great
personalities, are very healthy, and love to run and
play with our 3 children (17, 15, and 10 years old).
Their puppies live their
first 7-8 weeks in our home - so we can keep an eye, and
ear, out for anything they need! They are held
often, even before their eyes are open, to establish a
trust relationship with humans, and a bond that will
serve them for the rest of their lives. They are
raised in our house, not in a kennel, so are familiar
with the sounds of a home: vacuums, pots and pans,
doorbells, other dogs (goldens, doodles, poodles, and even a
cairn terrier), children, visitors, televisions, and all
the other sounds and smells of home.
We
begin preparing our puppies very early for their futures
as family pets. We use a program of Neurological
Stimulation that the US Military uses in their canine
program. It involves a series of stimulations done
to puppies every day from the time they are 3 days old
until they are 16 days old. It has been shown to
improve their Cardio Vascular performance, gives them
better tolerance to stress, and a greater resistance to
disease. I've added a webpage that goes into the
program in detail if you'd like more information.
The
next step in their preparation is socialization. Because
dogs have a relatively narrow window of opportunity for
socialization, starting at approximately 3 weeks, peaking at 6-8
weeks, and diminishing by 12 weeks, we feel it is very
important for us to begin their socialization training. As part of this, we give them many "new" experiences:
various textures to walk on, various bowls to eat out
of, various toys to play with, trimming toenails,
touching teeth, giving baths, and we let them play in
various pens in different parts of the house. Because of this training, we
believe they will be much more flexible and better
adjusted pets.
We
provide worming, shots and vet care as needed for the
healthiest puppies possible, and provide those records
to their family when adopted. The puppies are
weighed regularly, to head off any problems early.
When
they are ready to go home with their new family, they
will have a bag of their puppy food, and a blanket that smells like
their Littermates, to comfort them.
The
puppies come with CKC litter registration paperwork, so
they can be registered as soon as they go home. We
also can, at your option, provide microchipping of your
puppy, though I recommend waiting until they are a
little older than 8 weeks, as they are so small and the
microchip needle is SO big!
We
offer full health guarantees, certify that there are no
hip dysplasia cases in their parents, and offer a
warranty against congenital or hereditary abnormalities.
Following is a copy of our Doodle contract:
DOODLE CONTRACT
Alpacas of Ohio, LLC Doodle Agreement
This agreement, dated _______________, is made and
entered into by and between Alpacas of Ohio, LLC
(seller), and _____________________________________
(buyer), for the purpose of setting forth the terms
and conditions of purchase by the Buyer of a CKC Doodle from the litter whelped on ____________
and out of ________ and ___________.
For $_______, the Seller agrees to sell and the
Buyer agrees to purchase a
female___ , male___
companion puppy from the litter described above
subject to the following terms and conditions.
A deposit of $______ is being left to reserve
the puppy.
1.
The above-described puppy is sold as a pet and
family companion.
2.
Seller warrants that the above-described puppy is a
CKC Doodle registerable with the
Continental Kennel Club and that application will be
provided to buyer.
3.
Seller warrants that the above-described puppy is in
good health and has received age appropriate
vaccination(s) and worming(s) at the time Buyer
assumes ownership. Seller will provide to buyer all
vaccination and worming records. Buyer agrees to
have puppy examined by a licensed Veterinarian
within 72 hours of receipt of puppy.
4.
If, as a result of the buyer's examination, the
Veterinarian determines that the puppy is in poor
health, the Buyer shall elect to keep the puppy,
assuming all costs for its care, or return the puppy
within 24 hours to the Seller for a full refund,
upon the Seller's receipt of the Veterinarian
statement regarding the puppy's health.
Seller reserves the right to have a second
Veterinarian of her choice evaluate the puppy's
condition before a refund will be issued.
Costs and related expenses of returning the
puppy to Seller shall be the obligation of the
Buyer. Once
refund is issued, further performance under this
contract shall be null and void.
If, prior to receipt of puppy, as a result of
the Seller's inspection, it is found that the puppy
is ill, Seller will notify buyer immediately and the
decision to still purchase or cancel the purchase is
up to the Buyer.
5.
Seller warrants that if the puppy develops moderate
or severe hip dysplasia verified by OFA (Orthopedic
Foundation for Animals) within 18 months from the
date of birth, Buyer may return the puppy to Seller
and will receive a replacement puppy of like quality
from the next available litter, as long as food
verification (see below) is satisfied. If Buyer
elects to keep the puppy, they will provide the OFA
report to the Seller, and Seller will refund the
full purchase price of the puppy.
Buyer agrees
to send OFA evaluation of the puppy to Seller before
any refund is given. OFA evaluation is the only
acceptable proof of hip dysplasia. In either
situation, Buyer must also provide proof that the
puppy was fed Dog Lovers Gold, or a high quality (first ingredient is
some type of meat) LARGE BREED puppy food, for at
least its first 9 months.
If hip dysplasia is suspected before the 9
month point, puppy must still be on Dog Lovers Gold,
or the high quality
LARGE BREED puppy food.
Feeding regular puppy food (not Large Breed),
or low quality puppy food (first ingredient is not a
type of meat) voids this warranty.
6.
Seller warrants that the above-described puppy will
be free from any congenital or hereditary
abnormalities that would prevent it from being a
good pet and companion for a period of one (1) year.
If the puppy is deemed unsuitable for reasons
described above, evidence from a licensed
veterinarian will be sent to Seller. Buyer may elect
to receive a replacement puppy from the next
available litter, or receive a refund of the half
the sale price. If it is the opinion of a licensed
Veterinarian that the puppy should be euthanized,
Seller will receive evidence from a licensed
Veterinarian that puppy has been euthanized before a
replacement pup is given.
7.
If a replacement puppy is warranted, Buyer and
Seller shall make prompt arrangements within 10 days
of receipt of OFA evaluation, or Vet exam, for
return of the puppy sold herein to the Seller and
the Buyer will then be placed on a waiting list for
the next available litter. Buyer shall be
responsible for taking good and reasonable care of
the puppy until Seller receives it. Puppy shall be
returned in the same manner in which it was picked
up, unless Seller agrees to an alternate mode of
transportation. Costs and related expenses of
returning the puppy to Seller shall be the
obligation of the Buyer.
8.
Buyer agrees that the puppy will reside at the home
of the Buyer, have access to a fenced yard, not be
chained or tethered, and will be provided with
proper housing, a good quality diet, annual shots
and exercise. Buyer also agrees that this puppy will
not be used as a guard dog for any business, and
will not be bred unless permission is given by the
Seller.
9.
This Agreement is made and signed by both parties to
insure the well-being and protection of this puppy.
If the Buyer breaches any part of this Agreement,
the Seller is released from any obligations under
this Agreement.
10.The
sole remedy for breach of warranty will exclusively
be replacement of the puppy purchased with a puppy
of equal value or refund Purchaser’s money in full
at the sole discretion of the Seller.
In no event shall damages of any kind be
awarded for the purchaser’s incidental or
consequential damages.
11.
No proceedings shall be instituted arising out of
this contract unless written notice is delivered by
Buyers/co-owners to Sellers/owners within 12 months
of the date of this agreement, which notice shall
specify the grounds upon which Buyers assert their
claim, and give Sellers reasonable opportunity to
respond and offer to cure the alleged breach, if
appropriate.

arbitration will be used to resolve any problems or
disagreements between the Buyer and Seller.
Exclusive venue and jurisdiction shall lie with
