Contract of Sale
3. Health and welfare
2.01. The BUYER(S) is/are strongly advised to take the PUPPY to their vet, within three (3) WORKING DAYS after purchase, for a general check and advice on inoculations, worming and training.
2.02. The SELLER is not responsible for any adverse reactions to any products given or recommended.
2.03. The SELLER diligently conducts DNA testing on the breeding parents for genetic conditions relevant to the Miniature Dachshund breed, including Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA cord1) and Sarcoglycan Deficient Muscular Dystrophy (SDMD). The SELLER’S breeding program is designed to avoid breeding two (2) CARRIERS together, thereby ensuring that no PUPPY produced will be AFFECTED by these specific conditions.
However, the SELLER may breed dogs that are CARRIERS for PRA cord1 and/or SDMD with non-carrier (Clear) dogs. Consequently, some PUPPIES from such pairings may inherit one (1) copy of the gene and therefore be CARRIERS for PRA cord1 and/or SDMD. A CARRIER PUPPY is not affected by the disease and will not develop the condition itself, but can pass the gene to its offspring if bred.
The SELLER will provide DNA test results for the PUPPY’S parents upon request. Should the BUYER wish to determine the specific carrier status of their individual PUPPY prior to purchase (e.g., to ensure a non-carrier for future breeding purposes), it is the BUYER’S responsibility to request and pay for any additional DNA testing on the PUPPY. Such testing must be arranged and completed at the BUYER’S sole expense and prior to the finalization of the sale.
