When it is time for you to take your puppy home, we will have a notebook of information for you which will include our contract for the sale, the AKC paperwork, training tips, lineage information, shot information, and a magazine about the GSD breed.

The contract is written to bind us honorably.  We are honest and forthright in the sale of this dog and have done everything possible to sell you a healthy and happy dog.  We expect that, as the purchaser, you will treat us in the same fashion.  Once you take the dog home, we invite you to contact us with questions and concerns you may have. 

Conditions of the purchase of this dog are simple:

1.  The pup is sold with no breeding rights.  We do this in order to protect the heritage of this lineage.  A great deal of research and thought have been put into the breeding of these animals to ensure maximum trainability and companionability in the progeny.  The science of heredity (genetics) was weighed carefully and cautiously.  Therefore, the dogs are registered through AKC with a limited registration.  We will mail your AKC registration with a limited registration when you provide proof of spay/neuter. 

2.  As the breeder, we maintain the right to provide the registered name of the dog.  Since this is Zilpo's second litter, each dog will have a registered German name that begins with a "B" and ends with "Vom Peace".  On the AKC paperwork, you can also register the nickname of the dog - or rather, the name you will call the dog. 

For instance, if you want to call the dog Rex, it could be registered as Boris Rex Vom Peace. 

You can choose the "B" name of the dog from the list provided or a German name you prefer. 

Male names:
Balthasar - "Wise man"
Bjorn - "Bear"
Boris - "Little Wolf"
Bodo - "Messenger"
Bruno - "Brown Bear"
Burkhard - "Fortress"
Benedikt - "Kind"
Baldemar - "Prince"

Female Names:
Beatrix - "Happy"
Berta - "Perseverant"
Brigitte - "Exhaulted One"
Brunnhilde - "Armored Warrior Woman"
Bettina - "Oath of God" - variant of Elizabeth
Bathilde - "Heroine"
Binge - "Kettle-shaped"
Blasa - "Firebrand"

3.  Final payment must be made at the time of puppy-pick-up and in cash.  If the puppy is to be shipped, an alternate arrangement will be made. 

4.  At the time of puppy pick-up, the buyer will also write a personal check made out to AKC for the price of the desired AKC registration package.  Several options are available.  The check and AKC registration will be held until proof of spay/neuter.  At that time, the AKC paperwork will be mailed and you will receive your registration via US Mail directly from AKC.

5.  A limited health guarantee is provided in the contract.  The puppy is guaranteed to not have genetic hip dysplasia.  This DOES NOT include dysplasia caused by obesity, accident, injury, over exercise, or improper diet.  The buyer is also encouraged to have the puppy checked by a licensed DVM of the buyer's choice within 72 hours of receipt of the dog.  The puppy will have already been fully inspected by our DVM such that we are confident that the puppy is transferred to the buyer in full health.
