It should be noted that this contract defines the responsibilities of the buyer and the seller and that it is written for the sole purpose of protecting the Rottweiler breed and the well being of the puppy. It is hereby agreed by both parties that the following conditions will be met and that no other warranties or conditions are either expressed or implied:
1. This animal is being sold as a Show/Working/Breeding prospect. If this animal should develop a disqualifying fault according to the American Kennel Club Standard for the Rottweiler except for the tail, then another show quality replacement puppy may be purchased for the price of $1200.00 which is our pet quality price. This will be done only after said animal has been rendered incapable of reproduction and a letter from a veterinarian attesting to this fact has been sent to Jennason’s Cajun Rottweilers by certified mail. In addition you will also need to provide a written document as proof that the said dog was disqualified from a show by a licensed judge. In addition, we will need a copy of the AKC registration and your Jennason’s Cajun Rottweilers contract. We never offer a cash refund. _____

This animal is being sold as a Pet Quality/Non-breeding Rottweiler.

3. Feeding:
Our puppies are fed Raw Meat, Pro Plan Shredded Chicken for Large Breed, or Purina1 for Puppies. We recommend maintaining this diet until one year of age.
4. Temperament Development:
The temperament in Rottweilers is largely determined by the genetic traits passed on to it by the parents. That is why we are firm believers in selective breeding for conformation and working ability. We want dogs that are protective in nature yet good around children, family, and friends. We feel that temperament and socialization are directly related to each other. In this regards, we spend a great deal of time socializing our puppies. Everyday the puppies experience human interaction and are put in different situations such as exposing them to different floor materials, varying noise levels, both with and without their littermates. We observe their actions and base further temperament assessment on their progress. It must be pointed out that Schutzhund training, agility training, obedience training, protection training, carting training, weight pulling training, therapy work training, and tracking training, etc. are just that - training. No dog can just walk on a field and do these things. They must be trained, and trained correctly. We can sell you a dog with a good potential to do these things, but it is up to you to develop this potential in your dog.
5. This animal shall not be used for breeding purposes until it is at least twenty-four months of age, x-rayed clear of Hip Dysplasia and certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, passed at least a basic obedience course, and has no disqualifying faults.
6. Said animal shall carry the Jennason’s Cajun Rottweilers Kennel name in all advertising or conformation shows and obedience trials. The name on the litter registration MUST BE THE SAME AS ON THIS CONTRACT and cannot be changed except by Jennason’s Cajun Rottweilers. You can give your dog whatever “call name” that you choose, but the registered name must remain exactly as Jennason’s Cajun Rottweilers kennels has specified. Failure to comply will nullify and make void all warrantees in this contract.

Severe Hip Dysplasia - We will sell you another puppy out of an equivalent breeding for $750.00, plus the shipping charges and cost of the flight crate.
