Once the deposit is received, the buyer will secure an available draft pick spot chosen for their selected breeding and gender or the buyer will secure the chosen puppy if the draft has already passed. The pick number will be indicated on the first page of this contract. Each gender will have a separate draft pick. If the deposit was received prior to birth, the buyer can be refunded the deposit amount when there are not enough puppies born to cover the buyer's selected draft pick number. Under normal circumstances, deposits are not refundable on existing puppy reservations. Alternatively, deposits can also be moved to another litter.

If we don't have an agreement in place and your puppy is not picked up within 3 days after the designated go home date, there will be a daily charge added to your total cost. The daily fee will be set at $15 a day. We will waive the fee if transportation has been scheduled and circumstances caused a delay to the transport entity. It's best to pick up your puppy as soon as you can so you can start the socialization and training process at this important stage in development.

Buyer understands that a Boerboel was bred for protection and is a dominant breed. Buyer agrees to socialize and train the dog based on the temperament wanted out of the dog. Buyer understands that PeterBuilt Boerboel cannot be held responsible for temperament and behavioral problems. We have a strong focus on breeding a desirable temperament, but it cannot be guaranteed on our end as temperament can also be critically affected by the amount of socialization and training incorporated during the puppy's development. More information about training your Boerboel for the type of dog you want will be located on our website and can be found elsewhere.

If buyer breeds the boerboel without purchasing breeding rights, civil penalties will be pursued through civil proceedings. Buyer will be responsible for court costs. If an accidental breeding occurs, let us know and we can work through the issue together.

Peterbuilt Boerboels is not responsible for medical expenses or regular day to day costs relating to the care of your Boerboel.

Buyer agrees they have done research on the Boerboel size, temperament, and understands the health and care issues related to owning and caring for a Boerboel which include but are not limited to hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, joint diseases, skin problems, heart conditions, eye conditions, knuckling, digestive conditions, and any other diseases or tendencies that could be associated with the Boerboel breed.

Buyer agrees that Peterbuilt Boerboels will not be held responsible for any type of medical treatment for the above listed puppy/dog at any time.

Buyer understands Peterbuilt Boerboels will not be held responsible for injury or death caused by owner mismanagement, to include: over-exercise, overfeeding, overheating, abuse, neglect, accidents, or bloat/gastric dilation/volvulu. The buyer agrees to seek veterinarian care upon discovery of any serious condition. If you suspect death has occurred through a condition covered in our health guarantee, a necropsy report will be required to be covered by the guarantee.

Buyer understands a boerboel puppy should have their playtime monitored closely. It is recommended to limit hard slippery surfaces, extensive jumping, or any activity that can cause undue stress to underdeveloped joints. This can lead to poor elbow/hip development and can cause a lifetime of discomfort for your Boerboel. Expose at your own risk.

In the event that a litter does not produce enough puppies to fulfill all reserved picks, buyers whose picks cannot be fulfilled will be placed in a waitlist queue. Queue position is determined by deposit received date, with earliest deposits having highest priority.

When a new litter becomes available, queue buyers are notified sequentially in priority order. The first buyer in the queue will receive an email with exclusive 24-hour access to reserve a pick from the new litter. If no selection is made within 24 hours, access passes to the next buyer in the queue, who also receives 24 hours to make a selection. This process continues until all queue buyers have had the opportunity to select.

If a buyer chooses not to select from a new litter, no action is required - they will remain in the queue for future litters. When placed in the queue, the original contract becomes void. The deposit may be applied to a new reservation or refunded upon request.

If breeding rights are granted, breeding rights are NOT transferrable unless approved by Peterbuilt Boerboels. As stated above, notify us first if you decide to re-home your boerboel.

If a third-party person, not named in this contract, is found in possession of a Peterbuilt boerboel and uses the boerboel as breeding stock in their program without our written consent, we will pursue civil proceedings to reclaim the boerboel. We will also pursue the named buyer on this contract and the third-party buyer in civil court to cover all financial damages.

A female breeding dog is not to be bred prior to 16 months of age, time must be allowed for the bitch to develop and for you to identify any health problems prior to breeding.

Breeding dogs must have health testing done prior to being bred. At minimum, the testing must meet OFA or equivalent standards for an acceptable breeding dog in the areas of hips, elbows, and heart.

Breeding dogs must also be fully registered and meet registry breeding standards prior to being used.

The puppy is guaranteed to be in good health per seller. For the Health Guarantee to be valid, you must take your puppy to a certified veterinarian within 3 business days of the puppy's arrival at your home.

Please note parasites, kennel cough, and simple viral infections cannot be included in the health guarantee. Although your puppy will be wormed and vaccinated for kennel cough, it is common for puppies to contract these through the stress of traveling as well as exposure to a new environment.

We don't anticipate encountering many health issues related to hip/elbow dysplasia or any other genetic health disorder, however, we can't guarantee it won't ever happen.

Your puppy selection is not guaranteed until we receive your deposit.
